Women unrepresented in video games

Women need to start making their own games instead of asking men to make games that are meant to make women feel good about themselves

No, because if you try to present a woman character with flaws and personality it's sexist, likewise if you just have a generic blank slate woman it's also sexist.

This.

Go play japanese sega genesis games.
One in six small studios wanted their own Ellen Ripley.

plenty of female devs in the AAA space user.

The devs that make God of War and LittleBigPlanet/Tearaway are studios run by women.

>more women like Samus
No because that's uninspired. More original cool characters please.

I fucking hate the notions of any and all media having to be representative.
It's not a fucking public service, there IS no obligation.

Especially the outliers can be painfully dumb, like liberal/SJW Americans whining that the Eastern European Witcher 3 about fantasy medieval Poland didn't represent American ethnic lines.

In modern games, I'd say it's men who are underrepresented.

There's also the case of the almighty Roberta Williams, that the victories can be counted in number of genres she created rather than number of games, so influential her company,Sierra was.

But she don't exist according to tumblr.

Samus. That's the only name you'll hear. Samus. It means the end and the death. Samus. I am Samus. Samus is all around you. Samus is the man beside you. Samus will gnaw on your bones. Look out! Samus is here.

Yes, Alys don't exist, nor does terra.

The point isn't about the presence of female devs, it's that they aren't the ones answering the call to create strong role models for women. Asking men to do it is just bait so that more criticism can Be leveled at men who "don't get women"

>i never heard about femenazis

Women need to just make more good games like pic related.

No. Vidya needs more good characters, gameplay, and stories, not necessarily in that order.

Gender is irrelevant to a character. Samus is the proof of this. Throughout the game she is genderless, assumed male. Then its revealed she's a female. What never changed was her badassery.

I'm aware this is probably bait, but may as well be serious.

what is this, 2007?

mirrors edge came out already dude

If your entire story and narative can be changed by putting boobs on something, its a story that should not be told.

i'll bite.
there's are a lot of female character "sexualized" and clothed, uglies and cutes.

I wonder how long it'll be until she gets replaced as top tier waffle.

I don't care just give me a good game.
That's literally all I ask.

I don't give a fuck
might as well replace all human with alien

We need more real life women to act like video game women.

More women that kick ass while being attractive? Hell yes

>sex positive feminism
Sadly those are lost in the sea of retarded sexnegs.

*tips cum-encrusted fedora*

no. fuck off.

Is this why these games are shit?

People didn't used fedoras back when feminism was doing cool things like sexy kickass women.

To make the long story short, feminism tried to take over porn, porn countered so hard it created a whole new branch of feminism that was actually good, then those won, gone home and everything was fine again.. until a bunch of retards dug up the bad feminism and are now preaching it.

I dont care.

I'm not some whinny little bitch on the Internet demanding "equality" because my demographic isnt represented.
I want good games thats all.
Pandering is the wort thing to creativity and in case of EA / Bioware you can see the decline of qualty because of
1. greed
2. political correctness

The problem here is:
Make a female characters sexy and feminists get triggered because she is sexualized.
Make her emotional they will cry she is portrayed as weak.
Make her hardcore and you will get a link to one of Anitas videos about Mr and Mrs Pacman.

And to be honest i play videogame to emerge into new worlds thats why i like RPG's so much.

>back when feminism
>bad feminism
[*tipping intensifies*]

Well booohoo for not enough comfy office/housewife/divorce rape simulators, women characters being able to go through physical or mental challenges of most games seems less realistic than the game itself, like Bioshock.

But I see no problem, women are free to make their own games whenever they want.

for real
im not a huge waifu fag or whatever but when do games get comfy sections with cute girls
like that vr one where you're supposed to be getting taught by that chick in jeanshorts
wow that sounds fucking desperate
all i mean is just comfy shit, like at the beach with elizabeth or the stuff in the uncharted games

that being said my fetish is muscular women who can handle themselves so give me some more 6'2 samus and im good

Get your fucking katana away from me, your social justice bully.
Your hair dyed friends need a manly black cock up their butts to stop doing shit.

...

Not specifically like Samus, but there should be more female protagonists. I think what needs to happen is for a period of time, say the next two years, developers should be required to change the main character of their games to women. Imagine if we had two solid years of only female characters, it would be fantastic! There's too much testosterone in video games, and I think that would help balance things out nicely. After the two years if developers were required to have at least 3 major female characters, but not villains, women should never be portrayed as evil, I think that would be good.

*tips stahlhelm with a fedora underneath it*

Well considering what she was was nothing but a vaginal vacuum for the player to self-insert into and what she became was an actual character, I'd say the latter.

This, the world can never have enough of that delicious waifubait.
Lainshi > everyone else.

Having a japanese sword is not a even good form of overcompensation.

Then buy a trenchcoat to complement it

>muh strong female protagonist

Work on you mommy fetish, you weirdo manchild.

>implying you don't have one as well

...

>more trannies

Literally tumblr.

Naw I think women are represented just fine in vidya nowadays. ppl forget how much of a sausagefest games were up until like 6th gen

Fuck dude. I normally don't ogle girls.
But Jesus my dick.

Not really, the ratio of male and female protags is about the same as the ratio of male and female video game consumers, so it's a non-issue.

The majority of the autists who complain about "not enough womyn in gaymen" don't even play vidya. The Youtube jew admitted in a lecture that she has no interest in gaming whatsoever, you know, the one that's constantly bitching about female representation in video games? If that isn't a red flag then i don't know what is.

Traps are Cred Forums, not tumblr.

Shut up and post more videogame qts.

No
Bitches will never be satisfied, no matter how much "representation" you give them
Just ignore them and make good games instead.

right?

How did Xing Cai went from aspiring young warrior in 5 to no chill nanny for the Sun king in 7-8?

>do you think video games NEED more women like Samus

No, it doesn't NEED it.

*Su

>Be woman
>Only like playing gruff older men so I can get off to their grunting and moaning

*approaches shyly* H-Hi there onii-chan! >:3 *hides in bush waiting for response :3c*

Yeah MGS4 was pretty erotic.

They need better representation everywhere.
I just saw Maginificent 7 and the "7" men in the movie just oozed coolness and masculinity. Whatever they did from sleeping to just leaning looked cool and it all felt natural. The one woman in the movie that tried to be kinda badass was just meh.

Since when were creative media meant to be vessels for representation, it's entertainment and creative freedom is more valuable than ideological agendas.

Yes, we need more hot bitches who keep their mouth shut in games.

>creative freedom
This, the freedom to do whatever you want with your game is so important to me. Unless you put a genderqueer non-binary FTM tranny POC muslim tumblrina with dyed hair in your game, in which case FUCK OFF NU MALE KEK PIECE OF SHIT DIE IN A FIRE YOURE RUINING VIDEOGAMES

NO

But none of those people ever make their own videogames, which would be fine. They only try to bully existing developers into doing so.

Uh no, I played the new baldurs gate recently and it had a fucking TRANNY instantly uninstalled forever fuck that game

Yes, we need more strong girls in vidya like this.

>2061
>Thanks to socjus, endless pandering, and gender quotas, female games and devs are now the dominant force in the industry
>Socjus rejoices
>And then immediately cries out as they realize women enjoy making gruff male characters and waifubait just as much as men do

Women are represented plenty. The problem is, they want each and every fucking woman to be a female power fantasy. Much like real life issues, the fight over representation is over the lucrative roles and limespot, not the generic grunts and fodder males you kill by the thousands.

That isn't even the deal breaker, the real problem is they want those types of women represented in games NOT aimed towards them.
