Sticking to the beer example, what is the possible solution? Why don't the women simply drink beer that is good? So they won't drink beer that is simply good, but they won't drink girly beer either. Yet they claim to be avid beer drinkers? Is there some magic wonder beer from fairy land that they would finally drink?
Should there be more games about prostate problems?
I think it fundamentally doesn't make sense to claim that games should be different. If anything, you could ask for more other games, where nobody seems to know what they should like.
Note the irony that the author complains about a girlish upbringing and then revels in a game that finally lets her do girlish things.
- dfxm12 13y agoWomen who drink beer do drink good beer. The author is saying that too many "good videogames" mistreat women. The point is good beer doesn't have a history of marginalizing women they way popular videogames tend to. On a more general note, videosgames aren't much different from music or movies. Just like bubble-gum pop singles & mindless action movies there are tired AAA videogame titles, all with dubious critical value, but enough appeal to sell to the global lowest common denominator. However, if you really care, there are niches out there doing some incredible stuff.
