ok. im about to be mad so if u feel like skipping that then skip this thread.
this is misogyny. the original fb post is misogyny and the twitter post is misogyny. im aware this is probably bait or a joke but its not fucking funny. lets talk about it.
how is it funny to take another female character and say “haha nah this one was fine too” ? and why the fuck do yall think female characters are “unplayable” ? because of misogyny
when i was a kid i refused to play any video game where they didnt give you the option to be a girl. when my brother started playing assassins creed, no one understood why i wouldnt play it. when my brother was obsessed with fable 1, i was playing fable 2
why? because even as a kid i recognized the misogyny that existed in the world of video games. i didnt know the word for it, i just knew in video games where you couldnt be a girl, the creators of the games didnt want there to be something for girls
even though i wasnt raised thinking boys are better, there was a very clear message sent across by video games that boys are better, only boys can play video games, only boys can be the tough strong saviors
so fuck off. your misogynistic “jokes” are not funny. its not funny to say “finally theres a playable female character” when theres hardly any female characters in video games at all. ellie being the strong, immune, lesbian main character of a +
video game series praised as changing the future of video games is so fucking important and men just throw that to the side as if they dont know. or dont care. because they dont. so whatever if you gamer incels find this and want to call me an angry dyke that’s your problem
bye i hope men get funny soon
im gonna tweet an in summation of this thread and link it here
