I wish they would shut up. As a black guy I barely see character rep in single player games, I don’t identify with all those characters, do I play those games with non black guys? Yeah, Do I want them to totally rerwrite a character to fit my needs? Hell nah.
Lots of men enjoy playing as female characters in games (and level headed women don’t have an issue with the opposite). Just dumb girls echoing “feminist” talking points because they have brain washed themselves into thinking shit like this really matters.
I’m gonna pledge just to be a smart ass and comment about changing Beck into a thirty year old white human who plays video games because I can’t identify with a young android.
You do know all that feminist whining can’t get any traction if people stopped paying attention to them and linking/pasting their ass-backwards ideas, right?
Yeah, cuz it’s not like there were legions of male gamers who were happily playing FF13/Tomb Raider with no issues or a bunch of guys in the FGC playing Viper/Chun/etc. -_-
I think we’re fine with having a white, cis-gendered, male, privileged, tax-paying protagonist named Beck. I’m not white so I want to self-insert and wish-fulfill through Beck as I destroy industrial, mechanized, labor robots and create more jobs for lower and middle class America as I use my powered shots and transformation abilities that weren’t created through tax-payer dollars and government revenue. I really like this game because it supports American interests in carbon-based energy sources and the player gets to destroy clean energy “industries” vicariously through destroying Mighty No. 2 and Mighty No. 6 (hydro-electric and wind generation respectively.) Since Mighty No. 9 is a re-imagining of the Megaman series, they should bring back and reinvent Oilman to be main sidekick for Beck Rockefeller to defeat the evil Dr. Obama and reestablish the Trust Order.
you’d think gamers, the earliest adopters of internet culture, would be more averse to being trolled so hard, but sure as rain, a feminist mouse squeaks, and legions of angry gamers amplify her words
It’s because of “gamers,” the earliest adopters of internet culture, that are progenitors of “being trolled” are actually inherently prone, not averse, to trolling.
Probably because a lot of gamers aren’t used to having women talk to them, so their subconscious desire to white knight overrides their anti-troll mechanism.
Good job guys, you let feminism ruin the thread about the new megaman… Keep the filth in the feminist+hipster thread and stop polluting other places with it.
