Quote:my point against anita, is that she complains only about the female ones and with bad examples at that. and she's complaining about tropes* which are ALL overused, both against girls and men.To me, the general backlash usually goes one of two ways:
1) People believe she's trying to make all games super politically correct and make all games "unfun" [apparently making fun of minorities is fun?]. It's more like adding diversity. You folks can get the games you want, while I'd like to get some games that don't alienate me.
2) A lot of times, when minorities try to talk about their problems, the majority group try to either tell them "I see no problem, so you shouldn't have a problem" or they complain about their own problems.
Yes, there are problems with the portrayal of men in a lot of video games as well. But a common occurrence is men talking about their problems only when women do and trying to talk over them as well.
