Huzzah! Our saviour and guardian angel Anita Sarkeesian has released a pitch for a game to be made that promotes equality and empowerment of women!

 

 

She also has an advisory role on the new Mirrors Edge game as well, but are there any other games that are more progressive in their views of equality? The Dragon Age series has always been a champion for the cause being a game written by women for women but what else?

 

Dreamfall the Longest Journey also has a very progressive stance on equality as well, of the 3 playable characters 2 are women and the only male (who works for an idyllic society ruled by women and is on a mission to convert the heathens and overthrow the patriarchy in less progressive and primitive lands) has an extremely progressive view on equality as seen in the video below.

Are there any other games with strong female leads though? Any other games that take a progressive stance on equality?

If people want equality then the best thing to do is to shut up about equality.

Because equality is all about silencing the oppressed masses in order to ensure that the patriarchy remains firmly in control of the power base? If nobody is there to speak up about these issues then nothing gets done.

Not sure what your problem is? Does the idea of more progressive game industry frighten you so much that you can't bear the existance of a thread that celebrate the games that do take a more progressive stance?

You're a funny troll.

 

Seriously though, you need to shut up and appear on Game of Thrones before I have to knock David Benioff and D. B. Weiss's heads together.

Saints Row 3-4 have the right idea of equality.

Skimpy outfits for both genders!

My problem is that you can't read the ToS.

 

And now my problem is that you are trying to flamebait me.

 

But please, go on. Anything to get this nonsense locked faster is welcomed.

Most games tend to just be you know games. They write the thing they want to write and try not to make some message about equality.

 

On the game by Anita meh it sounds kinda generic. Ooh wow an evil faceless council. That's up there with Nazis, PMC's, Dragons and Zombies for random antagonists.

Flamebaiting? All I have done was ask a question, not sure what rule I am violating in the TOS?

It's like The Sims never happened, or something.

 

Edit: I'll never understand how games like Asteroids, Tetris, Marble Madness, and pretty much the first 15 years of video games were somehow "anti-equality," but I'm just dumb like that.

In Tetris, the most useful block is the one which is essentially a phallic symbol. Thus, the game reinforces dominance of the patriarchy.

Plus, it was developed by a Russian, and we all know the only thing they hate more than equality is freedom.
