Misogyny in sports is also a problem that has to be called out. Why do you assume that it isn’t?
Sports are at least a bit more progressive in this respect that video games, though.
Also, the thing is that some of society’s behavior warrant change. That was and is the case with racism. That was and is the case with misogyny. Changing things means calling them out and protesting against them. Even if you might be able to ignore some of it instead if you really wanted to.
Your assumption is that misogyny in video games is as valid a viewpoint as being against that. That’s your judgement to make but don’t wonder when people say you are wrong.
- WayneDB 14y agoCall it out all you want. That's not going to change people.
- mkaltenecker 14y agoI was convinced to become an atheist by people calling out other people. I was convinced to become a feminist by people calling out other people. I know it’s an anecdote. I know from communication research that changes in opinion don’t really happen all that often in the real world, especially not in response to the media. But in the end I can say that I was personally changed by people calling out things. I think it’s a valuable thing to do. The world would be a very sad place if it were impossible to change people with argument. And if not this generation then the next one.
