| Topic | Do gamers actually hate women in games? |
| Unbridled9 09/04/18 3:41:21 PM #1: | It's a common media narrative. That, whenever there is a female in games, fans will be outraged and detest her; especially if she's not subservient/supportive of the main character. After some thought I think I can safely say that I feel this claim is outrageous and stupid. We have a ton of women in games whom are not either as well as plenty in leading roles that people like and adore. Gamers like female MC's because, let's face it, it's awesome. Characters like Samus are badass and fun. The problem isn't that women are the main lead but, rather, that so many get put in these roles in games with massive problems and, when the game fails, the blame gets put on the girl. It could be a poorly written glitch-fest with gameplay that's abysmal at best, but that's not why people didn't buy it; it's because they're CLEARLY a bunch of sexists! I find it massively irritating that people think I hate girls because I'm a gamer. What about you guys?
