How do we fix the lack of female representation in video games Cred Forums?

>Any retard can make a game these days
It should be fixing itself if it was a problem. Doesnt that fire up ur neurons or what

We don't, since it's not a problem.

by adding them into games coupled with the things people actually want, instead of what women want people to want.

You'd be lucky if women make up maybe 5% of the AAA gaming market's audience, let alone the more niche stuff.

The people who pay the most up front the soonest, pirate the least, buy the most DLC, engage in online discussion ect and constitute the majority of those male gamers are white.

hence why most protagonists are white men

>fix
that implies a problem
how do we fix this 3rd wave feminism and its anti-meritocracy crusade?

Why do females NEED to represented in anything?

Women are not half of all gamers,FarmVille doesn’t count.

I wonder if women aging and becoming ugly turns them into liberals, or if it's the other way around?

We don't fix it because it's not an issue.
If a game developer, for whatever reason, doesn't end up including some group of people in their game then they shouldn't be forced to just to meet some invisible quota.

>not an issue
Effect on attitudes towards gender

A 2008 study found that males reported playing more violent video games than females. This exposure was negatively correlated with men's certainty in their judgements when presented with a scenario of possible sexual harassment selected for its ambiguity. The exposure to violent video games was also correlated with attitudes supportive of rape.[85]

It doesn't need to be fixed since that already happened.

Of the top 10 sellers on Steam right now:
Only a single game has a Male lead (Hollow Knight)
4 Games have no choosable Human characters at all (Rocket League, Slay the Spire, Human Fall Flat and Oxygen Not Included)
The remaining 5 games have player-created characters.

Why do they always talk about 'lgbt'? Like I am part of that abbreviation and I don't want to see shoveled in homos and trannies. It is really jarring to see gays and trannies just tossed in media for the sake of a checkbox diversity quota. Most of these characters are flat and out of place, most of their dialogues revolve around them being gay or transsexual and they add nothing to the overall narrative. Like if you want to have gay characters that is cool, just make them actually interesting characters that have more to them than liking dick, it really is not hard.
>heteronormative
What does this even imply, they say it like it is a bad thing.
>wow normal people are hetero, can you believe it!
Like yes, normal people are heterosexual... normal heterosexual people happen to make games that are meant for other normal heterosexual people.
The shit is not complex and I am getting sick of people using my like in order to forward their own twisted agenda. Fuck these people
This whole wiki article needs a million [citation needed]

So what your saying is we should ban all videogames except Candy Crush Saga to appease your feigned sense of morality?

>lack of female representation in video games
but every game I play has girls, though

>those top sellers

I don't know what you're looking at, but those aren't the top sellers.

>lying on the internet.
For shame user.

I'm pretty sure at this point female characters out number male characters. I mean you have whole games where the entire cast and enemies are female bar like 2 guys who are just support cast. There's a fair number of games like this. And lets not get started on actual porn games. How many have you play as a man? Not that many most have you play a female who will get raped at some point during gameplay.

It is a question for the ages user. We may never know.

>It should be fixing itself if it was a problem
the problem here is that THEY want mainstream game representation. indies and japanese games don't count or we wouldn't be having this discussion

you do know that those top sellers are for the month right for marketing purposes? surely user can't be this retarded
