did i read 50 pages of complete bullsh**, umm no, no i did not. i have better things to do, like going on to galaxy and cadburys official forums and telling them how sexist they are and how out of order it is for them not to advertise to men as much as they advertise to women.
come on people, are you really serious about this???
some people just love to moan and feel hard done by don't they...
*sigh*
Please start you own thread on this as it is not adding to the conversation.
somebody did try to start their own thread about how women are moaning about being ''pushed to one side'' yada..yada..
and the thread got immediately closed, so no i will not start my own thread.
i think it is great that women like yourself enjoy dragon age.
i just think you are delusional to think bioware should advertise to the minority group when most of the consumers of dragon age are probably male. look at the ratio on the forum alone, ALOT more male members then female.
its just the way it is with gaming at the moment.
like i said you moaning about how females are being excluded from advertising is just like me saying how unfair it is that males are excluded from chocolate adverts, and make up adverts. some guys like to wear make up (DEFINATELY NOT ME FOR THE RECORD LOL) but every make up advert is directed towards women.
so the point of this thread is ridiculous.
like i have said there are ALWAYS people who like to moan about how hard done by they are and how unfair the world is.
blah..blah..blah..blah
This hands down one of the dumbest things that's been posted on this thread (and one of the more overtly sexist)
1)you obviously don't think it's great women enjoy dragon age because whenever they wish a voice for the series' advertising not be so exclusively catered to men, you tell them to shut up and sit down. This is inconsistent with someone wanting a new member to feel welcome in the group. This is behavior that clearlysays, I'll tolerate you but nothing more.
2)women are not the some tiny insignificant minority of gamers. Look around the site. Grab any of the pieces of statistics posted in this thread. Women are a sizable portion of the gaming market (and not just free to play flash games) and the stereotype of the nerd male gamer is more absurd today than it was when it was thought up.
3)You obviously haven't paid much attention to the forums as not only have many of the women who post here been following BioWare for ages now, many of the new comers often report almost missing this wonderful gem because they'd simply never heard of it.
4)No it isn't just 'the way gaming is at the moment.' Yes marketing campaigns are often aimed at male consumers but that bias in no way diminishes the very active and visible female gaming demographic. It's there and even if they weren't you can't fault a demographic for not being there when you've made no effort to reach out to them.
5)Make up is a product for women. (and stage performers who use their own special kind I think) There's really no way around that. They're sorta like tampons. Why would a guy need them?
The same cannot be said for video games. They are an electronic medium aimed at telling a story and providing the consumer with something to think about or a very joyful evening. They are not meant for men. They are meant for both sexes.
6)If nothing else this thread has brought to light a few of the more misogynistic members of this site. For that alone I'm grateful.
Retour en haut
