So, earlier this week I was reading though the newspaper and an article caught my attention, “Feminist Hero Gives Gamers Glimpse of Future” by Wie-Huan Chen in the Houston Chronicle.<\/p>\n
The article is about a new computer game coming out called ‘Horizon Zero Dawn’ which has a main character who is described as ‘strong-willed and not a sex object’ and goes on to give glowing reviews of how this is a ground breaking game.<\/p>\n
Now, I love computer games, and have played many, including many RPGs and MMOs.\u00a0 I have found that offering only one character isn’t ground breaking, no matter the fact that its a woman character.<\/p>\n
What’s this say to women gamers?\u00a0 You can’t play as a man? I guess to feminists that’s\u00a0a bad thing.<\/p>\n
But here’s the thing in my many years of being on line and part of many gaming communities.\u00a0 There are girl gamers who like playing as a man.\u00a0 Yep, they enjoy it as much as feminist think guys enjoy playing as a woman.<\/p>\n
I enjoy it the most when a game offers you a choice, to be a man or woman.<\/p>\n
But I think this would go against the leftist narrative about having choice.\u00a0 It must fit their narrative, and that is you must only offer a female character, but she cannot be sexist.\u00a0 Makes me wonder if they even read their own words.<\/p>\n
A final thought came the people this article was targeted to probably won’t even play the game.\u00a0 The gamers actually buying the game want a polished game that works.\u00a0 Of course if it sucks, the feminists will blame the sexist gamers, not the fact it might actually suck.<\/p>\n
But back on target, why can’t the gaming industry offer either?\u00a0 Many gamers like to immerse themselves into the game, almost thinking they are the ones doing it, as a result, they enjoy playing as the sex they are.<\/p>\n
So, really, the real ground breaking game would be the one which offers both, as limiting the player to one sex is actually a step back, not forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
