How do you feel about sexism in video games?

He starts by comparing the game industry to a singular magazine, Cosmopolitan. Then, he goes on to say that men are incapable of creating female characters that are more than just T&A. Thereafter, he says that more women should enter the game industry.

And then on his website, has a list of games created by females, that he thinks are shit. Quite a few of them are visual novels.

What do you think about this opinion and about the wider representation of women in the game industry?

I think the only thing I can say after reading this... analysis is that the person never played Ristorante Amore or Don't Take it Personally Babe. Like. At all. I can't really take anything I read seriously.

And also this is a very touchy subject we've talked about on this forum before. It usually doesn't go well :/

Please note that the guy you're quoting is Maddox. Maddox is infamous for shit-talking anything he can find, and his favorite pastime is writing offensive stuff - the less politically correct, the better. He is also known for publishing and MST3King emails he gets on his website.

Don't feed the trolls, especially not this one.

Yeah, right... You realize this is Maddox's site. And I see no reason for this thread to discuss any further.

EDIT: Taleweaver got in before me.

I can figure them for ranting on about 'Ristorante Amore' and 'Don't take it Personally Babe'.

But I can NEVER figure this person for ranting on 'Sissy's Magical Ponycorn Adventure'
THAT'S GOING TO FAR.

I just realized that the general discussion on sexism in video games feels very appropriate in this thread.

Continue the discussion there.
