1- Games have been pandering to men's desires for years because like any form of entertainment, they must attract consumers by appealing to what they like the most. Which is why the PC is always a strong dude, usually a figure of authority who's out to save the world and meet hot, half-naked chicks.

 

Please stop talking nonsense. Pandering to audiences is what entertainment is about.

 

2- My "rights", as you call them, are consumer rights, something which you're obviously scarcely aware of. And who the hell is talking about rights? I'm talking about multiple possibilities for the development of fictional universes. About what consumers like me want. Something that doesn't concern you, only the developers. 

 

3- I'll ask whatever I want from whomever I want in the gaming industry. What I do plus the remaining 50% of the gaming community is none of your business. You have a problem with that, go talk to a wall.

 

1. Women have been central figures in games for more than 30 years. Don't pretend that it's only ever men who are the heroes.

 

3. You and other women are not "the other 50% of the gaming community", don't pretend that you are.

Consumer "rights" are a myth, you don't matter, and you never have.

 

He is talking to a wall though....

 

I want more left handed characters in games. I won't play as right handed people anymore. Our viewpoints are completely different. I can't identify with righties.

 

Left handed people are the spawn of Satan!

1. Games have pandered to men because that's what the devs wanted at the time. And there was nothing wrong with that.

 

2.Consumer rights don't include the design of something you'd like to have.

 

3.Ask whatever you want. The problem starts when/if you think you're being wronged when/if you don't get it.

I've ziplined my way through all the stages of grief overnight and I guess I've landed on acceptance already. Feel like this is an accurate sentiment:
 

 
Goodbye, BSN. It was fun lurking and occasionally popping out to talk with you all.
 

Steven Universe and Cowboy Bebop?

Damn you to hell BioWare for doing such a thing to this fine forum goer.

[o Ventus]

Nah, it's not in the way of "I'm prepping my pitchfork cause no Geraldine" and more of a wishful thinking "how awesome would it be if I could play any Witcher(ess)" regardless of how nonsensical it sounds. I connect much better with females, although there are exceptions.

 

And yeah, I'm very much a sci-fi nerd and was just getting excited about MEA launch... 

 

Fair enough. Connect with whomever you connect best with. As long as you're not demanding developers change their games to suit your own personal desires, I'm cool with it.

Thanks to this post, I actually realised I've been a left handed man living in a body of a right handed man all along. Probably that's why I chose the option while playing CS 1.6.

 

I hope trans-lefthanded people will get the proper representation in games we deserve.

[SnakeCode]

Left handed people are the spawn of Satan! 

 

But... I'm an atheist. I don't even believe in Satan. 

[maia0407]

I guess not acknowledging my point and putting up a strawman to knock down is good too.

Yeah, sorry, I can't seriously respond to silly 'points'. I'm under no obligation to buy a game I don't want to play. *shrug* Not much else to say about your 'point'.

[Dermain]

Then you need to be purged from the Earth for your blasphemous beliefs!

Once again,this thread isn't about SJWs and whatnot, its about BioWare's decision making that puts Edmure Tully to shame

[FieryDove]

You are not entitled to the existence of games that pander to you. If you get them , good for you, if you don't and want to ask for them good for you too. But stop pretending you somehow deserve them. Your rights don't include the existence of games you want or the gaming industry working towards a quota. You are not being wronged somehow when/if you don't have electronic interactive toys made to your specifications. You're not that important. No one is.

 

I agree, therefore all future games for the next 20 years shall only include female protagonists.

No more silly than you implying that you're not entitled, right after telling us how entitled you are.

Hold the ****** phone. First you tried to steer us away from being off-topic in this thread, and now you're trying to steer us away from SJW bashing? Who are you and what have you done with steel?

There is no way this train gets back on its tracks.

 

Somebody mentioned The Witcher, things like this are bound to happen. Getting a really Off-Topic vibe here, delicious.

We would have been better off keeping the VSN vs TSG beef going than whatever this is.

It happens when the board is on death row awaiting its date for execution. You just sort of stop caring.

I'm just po'd at BioWare

This isn't a simple killing, it's damnatio memoriae. I've always thought BioWare wanted to get rid of its old customer base for a long time now, this whole thing just proves it.

We should play Pokemon to see who is really better.

 

It's the only way.

SJW bashing and BioWare bashing aren't the same thing?

[neonmoth]

Fair enough. Connect with whomever you connect best with. As long as you're not demanding developers change their games to suit your own personal desires, I'm cool with it.

There is a difference between demanding of developers to change their existing games and asking them for more variety in games overall. At the end of day, if it's worth for them they'll go for it and I won't pretend that'd make me unhappy. 

 

I don't mind established franchises carrying on with their default male protags.
