I just feel like some of the games she’s “targeting” are built with an explicit audience of men. You know, guns, explosions, murder, etc.

What games are for men, and what games are for women?

And, with that distinction you’ve made – is there an equitable distribution?

And is Discourse designed for men or for women?

Anyway, the idea that an assassin might target a dude in a strip club seems completely plausible. It’s seedy, it’s a place where sketchy people hang out, and it’s where sketchy men hang out that might be involved in crazy gang or mafia stuff that gets them killed.

So why aren’t they gay assasins? Hanging out watching Chippendales? Or female assassins? Hanging out watching Chippendales? Why was that choice made? Because only men are violent, only men are killers?

Is this game for men or for women? Note: seedy locations, prostitutes, johns, and guns. Also: sushi.
