But none of them seem to understand that.
I'd like to speculate that if the developer was a male and the journalist was a female, the female would still be the one under fire.
All this time and energy wasted on trying to prove that she's "bullshit". It doesn't matter if she's a fake or not; the issue still exists.
The issue isn't about her. People share her opinion of the portrayal of women in video games.
"Wait, she was a fraud? I guess I suddenly don't care about the issue anymore, then!"
Don't these websites realize that?
Remove that tinfoil hat for a second so I can ask you, using your own logic, why you're posting a comment against feminism here when there are more important problems in this world?
How does pushing for better representation of women in gaming give them "more privilege over men by stepping on them"?
There are women who are every bit as passionate about gaming as you are, and they don't want females to be portrayed as objects to be saved, owned or won.
Why is that so difficult to understand? Why is that so threatening? Why do people take that personally?
Ugh. Look how many words like "bitch", "whore" and references to vaginas appear in these comments.
Really supports your case against "alleged" sexism.
Destiny wasn't on my radar until about a month out.
I guess I should consider myself lucky for not hitching a ride on the hype train, because I'm having an absolute blast and when I'm not playing it, I'm thinking about it!
Why is it that people have a big problem with the gear "grind" in Destiny, but no one ever seems to mind doing Prestige in CoD with comparatively less incentive and with less ways in which to do so?

I was stating a case in response to spartanlemur's opinion that the "real world" is not as "misogynistic" as some would have people believe.
When my girlfriend goes through all of that every day in real life and decides to engage in her favorite hobby, she has to play as an over-sexualized heels-wearing Demon Hunter in Diablo 3.
She has to play a character in revealing armor or whose bust and propo...
She won the Game Developers Choice Ambassador award, was nominated for an Ambassador Award by Microsoft, and was named one of "125 Women of Impact" by Newsweek among many other accolades.
So what does that make a guy if he sleeps with five women?
It is an issue.
Imagine if Uncharted's Nathan Drake ran around shirtless in a thong with his privates jiggling every time he took a step and the camera zoomed into his but and his muscles whenever he climbed something.
You'd just play something else?
Well, now imagine if 90% of males in games were presented that way.
When my girlfriend goes into a Gamestop or a Best Buy for games, she's asked if she's buying something for her boyfriend - then when they found out she's into games, they talk to her like they're trying to get a date.
When she walks by the construction site by our apartment on her way home, she gets whistled at.
When she walks down the street to the nearby Target, she gets honked at by cars full of men who stare as they drive by - even when I&...
Remember, this race is a marathon, not a sprint!
I have to agree.
I can't imagine many people bought PS4 for what is currently available. I think it's much more likely that people bought the console because they're excited for what's coming down the line.
I have a buddy who bought Xbox One the day it launched. I asked him what he was playing, and he said "nothing" - he bought it for Titanfall. So after the newness wore off, the console collected dust for four months.
How can you outgrow fun...?
Are we talking any game featuring those characters?
If so, compare that to:
16 Assassin's Creed games since 2007
18 Call of Duty games since 2003
Let's break it down by the number of main series titles released during the last home console generation:
7 Assassin's Creed games (main series)
10 Call of Duty games (main series)
2 Zelda games (main series)
2 Mario games (typical 3D Mari...
You care enough to comment.
What makes 3DS "kiddie McDonald's Happy Meal crap"?
Shin Megami Tensei?
Metal Gear Solid?
Resident Evil?
Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate?
Castlevania?
Monster Hunter?
Fire Emblem?
Project X Zone?
Tekken?
Street Fighter?
Dead or Alive?
Bravely Default?
Oh, wow, don't break your arm patting yourself on the back for that one...
To the folks praying that the battle system isn't like XIII's because "all you do is stand around and hit auto-attack":
How is that different from VII's battle system? You wait for a bar to fill, then you select "Attack" and your character attacks.
It's the same in XIII, but you have more control.
Hitting "Auto-attack" is no different from hitting "Attack"...
