Vultures circle GamerGate

I remember reading posts by people who freaked out that in Dragon Age there was an option to start a relationship with a male character if you were playing a male. They didn’t even want to see the option. And now I’ve read the next game wasn’t going to feature any romance at all. But the feminists are the ones who are “censoring” games with their critiques.

I just want to play wedding with my dolls!

This is always what it comes down to. Somehow cultural critiques are censorious, but we just won’t worry about it if someone cancels their talk because of a literal bomb threat. Feminists have been critiquing movies for years and the same action blockbuster where the guy gets the girls still keeps coming out. The voices of massively rich people who want to make the same thing over and over to appeal to an audience they presume would be offended by anything new it haven’t actually been silenced yet.
