_"*I guess i had to do it if only because people are expecting me to do it. I didn’t even remember this was a thing till yesterday XD*"_ Had to add this because I thought that ppl would actually click the source link and look at the description after all this time
Like...is there any solution to this? Should we start something?

X Journalists would make claims of people like Anita Sarkeesian "playing video games all her life" when she openly admitted many times she is not a gamer and only starter recently (when it wasn't for an interview). Various developers trading sex or money for good reviews got exposed, journalists who accepted got exposed. People became a bit more critical about supporting a game just because the developer has a victim complex stating tat their game could have only failed because of sexism, instead of their own poor developing skills. What really sealed the deal was opposition often faking their own harassment. Anita sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn have been caught multiple times screenshotting "harassment" while showing that the harrasser's account name in the login. Or when someone called the police to help Sarkeesian against a "very real threat" she was posting about, only for police to find the harasser's messages were coming from her IP address. I just want honesty from the community, and the lies were mostly exposed by the "dreaded" gamergate. 1.3K views • View upvotes 26

Yeah social issues and such in videogames aren't important all the time, but still great to have anyway.

One good example would be Spec Ops: The Line. Great game with a deep message.

What I don't like is the fact that most prominent anti-GG voices seems to preach that all videogames must have social issues and gender politics and whatnot.

A game can be fun, be art, or have a deep message. Sometimes all three.

However, limiting the amount of games to only adhere to a certain perspective is basically trying to take away the freedom to make any game you want.

And I don't like that, among other things.
