And as for 'back' the ban was only to try and circumvent possible forum bitching/raging/having a mental breakdown-ing. I did plenty of that irl so I dunno how much I'll be around. | ||

A lot of the outcry is about the lack of playable female characters which thins out the field by quite a bit. | ||

And to thin it out even more, narrow it down to female characters that the actual leads in the game and not just a side character that happens to be playable. Wait, wasn't there a kick starter or something that some chick made to analyze that sort of history of females being leads in video games. I think she even got way passed her needed goal for it too. I watched five minutes of it and I thought the girl was full of shit. Forget the name but I'm sure one of you guys remember it. Ps. Wave, don't leave me like that. You left me with a forum full of crazy Americans and shit posting Euros. I was basically the lone Canadian because Nos and Coma barely combine for three quarters of a Canadian  | ||

She is right about some of the overarching points but the specific examples often seem like reaches. But also fuck people for sending her death threats though. | ||

What the internet has taught me(from various community members) is that if you are in anyway e-famous, you need to expect death threats. People on the net give a new meaning to absurd. For example, you can be 99% certain right now that either or both Thooorin/Regi are probably receiving these kinds of threats due to the drama going on with the SI stuff. | ||

There are tons of female gamers, I wouldn't argue against that but I wouldn't want a company to invest a bunch of money into making a game thinking the female demographic will show up and buy it. | ||

Game companies that want to only release blockblusters may not want to potentially alienate the majority demographic (the teenage guy) though, and that could discourage them from taking risks with the female demographic. | ||

If farmville and candy crush is included in that 45% then that doesn't count. | ||

Because interesting stories can be told about a female protagonist. The whole escapism thing is such bullshit to me. If someone can't connect and empathize with a female character just because they're controlling her then that's kinda sad. I mean, females are underrepresented in Hollywood as well, so this isn't something exclusive to video games. It's a conversation worth having but at the end I usually end up feeling like both sides get caught up bickering with each other and no real progress is made. | ||
