I get it. Most of the people who watch the presentation won't care. It just would have been such an easy change that wouldn't have made the presentation any worse for anyone, and it would have made it a bit better for some. It's not like Nintendo threw this show together in a few hours; they've considered a lot of details. And note this was specifically human avatars in 3d with clear genders. Non-gendered monsters or robots wouldn't have the same issue. It wasn't a montage either; it was a single match demo.

  The issue is that he wants Nintendo to engage in pointless SJWish virtue-signaling, and is disappointed they didn't take the opportunity to do so. The fact that they didn't do this makes me much more inclined to buy a Nintendo Switch!

    I get the SJW overtones of his comments, I'm just trying to wrap my head around the logic behind them. He'd prefer girls beating up guys, or robots beating up robots. Basically, every combination of beating up is okay, except male on female? What?

      That about sums it up. If you're going to pick exactly one combination, why pick the one that's loaded for so many people? But honestly I wouldn't have even noticed if it hadn't been so unbalanced. Here's the actual video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nabG4yPZqFM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nabG4yPZqFM She doesn't even land a punch. If it were a back and forth with the dude eventually winning, it wouldn't have stood out to me at all and I wouldn't have commented. If they had shown several fights and this was one of them, it also wouldn't have stood out.
