We also accept a whole lot of impossibly jacked shirtless dudes but there's barely any public outcry against this. Even worse, video games are extraordinarily violent (I play lots of FPS games, so I'm not criticizing fans of violent games per se) and anyone concerned about the effects of violence on society is lambasted as a pearl-clutching conservative parent from the 1980s.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoBoth absolutely true. However, regarding overly jacked dudes, there is no history of women in gaming culture harassing developers for putting a beer gut on the male protagonist of a video game, nor any talk about "bulge physics" or whatever the equivalent of "jiggle physics" would be.
- throwaway894345 5y agoI think that speaks to the relative paucity of women in "gaming culture" rather than the purity of women. Were there a concentrated community of female gamers, I wouldn't be surprised if they levied such complaints (consider for example any of the commentary on male Olympic divers in predominantly female circles).
