I see you’ve decided to completely misrepresent what I’m saying. I never said games should be forced to have an aqual amount of women, or that they shouldn’t be “sexy” or that they should be banned.
I explained why women don’t often play games like that. And you somehow found that a really offensive position. I don’t understand why.
I have a hard time believing that men want their games to have cardboard characters and sexist representations of women. There might be a niche for games like that and people are free to make them, but men complain all the times about bad characters. If the games had better stories, everyone would win. It’s true there are many amazing games out there and better ones come out all the time, but that that doesn’t mean I should just shut up and not criticise something I don’t like.
Also, I LIKE BOOBS. But there is a difference between sexy and sexist, and we should definitely criticize them, just like we should critize racism and homophibia in media. I don’t agree with the position that bigoted representations should be okay because freedom and because I can always look elsewhere.
I also never said anything against violence in games. But don’t let reality stop you from hating.
And sure, assholes online can be blocked. I do. But that doesn’t make what they say okay, and that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t fight against it. You seem to be arguing that it’s not a problem, which clearly shows that you haven’t experienced it yourself.
But I’m going to leave it at that, unless you decide to answer to what I’ve really said. Your strawman arguments about how I’m an evil woman on a mission to stop the games that men just love are highly offensive and I don’t need to take any bullshit like that.

What else could “You don’t need to change “military science fiction” into “romance”” mean, except that romance is something that a woman would want instead of military science fiction if a game-banner like me were to change all games to something that “suits women”. The point still stands; women love stuff like sci-fi just as much, and the only change needed to make games for everyone is not have sexism in them.
