There is literally nothing wrong with sexism or racism being present in games.
It's just another American moralistic panic thing, like nudity or sex in games. Generally perpetrated by people unable to differentiate between fantasy and reality.
Murdering hordes of people in brutal ways: perfectly fine.
A nipple: THINK OF THE CHILDREN!
Non-Politically Correct aspects: SOMEONE THINK OF...THE MINORITIES?
- Hytosys 12y agoWhat exactly is "non-politcally correct"? In what ways do discrimination and dehumanization of certain peoples involve politics? I hear you and agree that we should be allowed to explore fantasies. However, when one's sexist fantasies are similar to one's reality, intervention is reasonable. Concrete example: cat-calling.
- gnarbarian 12y agoHow is telling someone how to make their game any different than telling a woman how to dress?
- Hytosys 12y agoI don't see how this is relevant as I did not suggest game makers should make different games. Rather I was simply commenting on the observation that there are social issues regarding sex and gender in our world, and that many video games showcase them (usually unintentionally).
- gnarbarian 12y agoCan you name a single form of media that doesn't showcase sex and gender in our world? Also Why is this a bad thing?
