Why is gaming mostly being a male-dominated hobby a bad thing?
Men cant be allowed to have shit
noone says it's a bad thing

>>738424160Have you been living under a rock the last 12 or so years?
It only really was during the Xbox-360 era. Games like halo and GTA made so much money that the entire industry pivoted to super macho games and characters.
>>738424040Women go insane if they're not allowed to ruin everything men have.
>>738424308keep fighting those ghostsi believe you, you really are being oppressed lol
>>738424560Glad you agree, faggot.
>>738424560You are correct gaming has been its absolute best these past 12 years.

OP wants to be male dominated
>>738424040Why do you fags cry perplexed about shit like this all the time when the answer is literally always money
>>738424040It isn't. It's just dumb women that can't handle men having their own interests and their white knights that will just agree to whatever those women want in the hopes of getting a crumb of pussy.
Zamn you would think there was an unaccompanied minor in this thread the way the trannies swooped in
>>738425149Why does this only happen to male-dominated things, though? I don't see anyone in the harlequin novel market saying they need to expand by catering to men too. Same goes for knitting.Rom coms.Or anything else dominated by women.
>>738425142Doesn't understand sarcasm, not gonna make it.
>>738424040If men have a space to themselves, they might end up agreeing that they like this version of the world better https://files.catbox.moe/x77vpu.webm

>>738425295You're actually retarded if you don't think the producers of that shit want as wide of a market as possible. Rom coms as an example especially shows how retarded you are, the entire ethos and design of rom coms is to get a working male to buy tickets/ a streaming service for a woman to watch these things.

>>738425295Those things are niche because female purchasing power wasn't there yet. It's a tougher lift putting those things into the mainstream than vidya. Also what >>738425409 said. They'd try to hook men on those things in a second if they believed the venture would pay off. And some rom coms do try to pull in guys by including typical guy humor and making the designated rival chick hot, etc
>>738424308The only people who care are shareholders that want the other 50% of the population to be as obsessed with their product as men are.

>>738425636>>738425669>Nobody is trying to take games from you!>Actually someone is but it doesn't count>You are an incelYou are here>Actually taking gaming away from men is a good thing sweetie
>>738425295It's apparently considered something of a crisis right now in literature that men are reading much less than women.
>>738425710you are really bad at sarcasm, your post is indistinguishable from a genuine one
>>738425581>>738425765>talking about stereotypes is culture theftleast insane rightoid
If you want the female version of this, it's equestrianismlike 90% of it is women and the few guys who join these horse groups are either faggots or painfully obviously only there to hit on girls (which never works btw and mostly kill vibes)it's funny though because horse racing at the top 1% level is still male dominated even though the female body is more suited to go faster
>>738425295I think people understand niches. Its corporations that don't. You won't see someone who comes home to watch the 4-7 sports show complain that the Twilight Saga exists and should involve more tackling. You won't see DND nerds lament that My Little Pony doesn't have more tabletop elements and you won't see gamers whine that games aren't more like movies. Its all corporate shills and trendchasers, metrics and shareholders who want everything diversified to appeal to a larger demographic. And they will always be out-of-touch cause they truly don't give a fuck if it completely alienates their original audience. Want some examples? Star Wars, Bud Light, Gillete products, Star Trek, Marvel and modern gaming. Everyone tried to appeal more to a nonexistent or small audience that doesn't exist and they still continue to lose money.
>>738425765>women no longer being discriminated against in videogame spaces == 'taking gaming away' from menretard
>>738425765nah we are still on "nobody is trying to take games from you". ragebait articles don't mean shit.
>>738424040If anything, it's a good thing.Given what we've seen happen as more women are put in charge of decision-making at these companies, and more "women identifying" sickos are put in important roles as well, we can only conclude that male-orientation of the video gaming industry is a stabilizing influence, and reducing it only sows instability and lowers product quality.I suspect if you asked women who were playing barbie games ten years ago what they think of modern ones, they too would say the newer ones are shit, so it's a problem that affects everybody.
>>738425840Uh huh...you are just talking about it, there is no way it leads to any real action to do something about it. There is zero initiatives, actions or controversy about catering to female players for the past 20 years. None.
>>738425825>Your post is indistinguishable from a genuine oneDam, I'm better at shit posting than I thought.
>>738426052explain how they're going to take the Hwite Man's Videogames away
>>738426052incels seething on basketweaving forums does not controversy make
>>738425934Nobody is angry about women being able to play the same video games as men. Everyone is upset because women enter the space and demand that games remove problematic male gaze content and cater to their sensibilities. Of course, leftist discourse is pretending not to understand things, as usual
>>738425295Because stuff is so expensive to make now that you need to try and force a massive safety net to not get closed down from just one failure.
>>738426110>running out of arguments so hard you simply repeat incel like a broken record
>>738424040because women can't adequately parse the hierarchies it creates from the outside it thus feel the need to penetrate it in order to find out which men engaged with it have genetic valuesame reason they want to go into academics and business
>>738425813Maybe because they're not making books for men anymore. Or TV shows. Movies. Games. Comics.
>>738425627Fuckin' knitters
>>738426203is that a trigger word for you? re-read my post ESL-kun. or are you "pretending not to understand things", like you accuse others of doing?
>>738425934women have never, ever been discrimanbted against in gaming. Ever.
>>738425840>>738425934Uh oh circlejerktroon melty. No, you freaks don't give a shit about videogames and never will
>>738426302>retard pretending the biggest controversy in gaming history doesn't exist beyond 4chanUh huh, keep going.
>>738426348>discrimanbtedgood morning saari hate women, love from india saarneed more white woman bobs in videogame saar
>>738426386just answer the question lil /v/ro
>>738424040Because feminism teaches women that they won't be happy unless they jealously covet every single thing that men naturally possess or gravitate to.And if, in the real world, women don't actually want something that men have, men are still evil for having it without them. Efforts must be made to stop the men from having something to themselves.
>>738425416You're a man
>>738425669boy did those goalposts move quickly
>>738426565>possessdelusional retard. men don't "possess" videogames. your favorite videogames were made in part by women, btw
It's only bad in the case of executive laser targeting it, which leads to less interesting games. It's like how with cartoons it used to be even if you had a good show it'd get called a flop and eventually canned because it either didn't sell enough toys, or if it has too many girls watching it alongside the boys.
The whole "you don't need to play the games to be a fan of them" thing in the RE fandom comes mostly from women, that should be enough reason to gatekeep them from vidya.
>>738426386Dude is right. Nothing you posted said men get less, just that women are being catered to now as well and you are freaking out thinking that means you are being robbed. You're fighting phantoms in your own head.
>>738426159And yet, they keep fucking doing it, and studios keep closing. Women will never be a viable audience for video games.
>>738426673Oh nice we are on the>video games is not a male hobby and that's a good thingalready. Only took fewer than 80 posts.
>>738425765We've cycled through all of those options multiple timesJust accept that vagina is invincible

>>738426842persona is doing the best it ever has
>>738426743>Nothing you posted said men get less, just that women are being catered to now as wellWomen are catered to meaning neutering content to appeal to female sensibilities 90% of the time. They don't enter the hobby to fit in. They enter the hobby to change it to their liking. And that's why people hate it.There is a small indie game thread right now >>738408582 and you if go on the store page, you will actively see women bitching about how it has too much male fanservice.Are you freaks gonna respond to this argument or ignore it?
So, we're back to step one, huh?
>>738426752Maybe so, though I argue those games likely would have failed anyway which just proves them right for trying in those cases.
>>738426673>or gravitate toAre you unable to read, moron?>your favorite videogames were made in part by women, btwWhy do you imagine I care? You're flailing at an imaginary opponent.
>>738426896>near hysterical levels of "this must change to be more inclusive", repeated infinitely until the magical 50% number is reached and surpassed... and then still repeated infinitely
>>738426896>>like stereotypes are terrible things that need to be combated at any costYes, because statistical evidence shows they're mostly jokes and some people like (You) take them too seriously.
>>738426739>videogames>VIDEO>games>wtf why do people like watching it? FAKE FANS FAKE FANS
>>738426950How is Persona, a game where you are a teenage boy dating cute teenage girls, for women?
>>738425934The discrimination you speak of is men behaving the way they naturally do when amongst themselves. Forbidding men from doing that is indeed taking gaming away from men.
>>738427019>watching a video game edit makes you a fanThis is the average iq of the woman you are arguing with on /v/ btw.
Gaming was objectively better when it was 99% male centric and no one can deny that.
>>738426743>just that women are being catered to now as wellBy terraforming games to remove or alter things that are seen as a barrier to inclusivity. Which is men getting less.
>>738427059You must have a low opinion of men if you think shitty behavior is natural or good, when it's just shitty behavior other men got browbeaten to accept as normal.
>>738427059only a very small percentage of men behave that way naturally, it's just that they are exceedingly over represented here because permavirgin manchildren want to say the n word without repercussions
Still not buying your wokeslop btw, enjoy your lay offs
>>738427174There is no shitty behavior
>>738427174>>738427198These posters have never been in a male space
>>738427174>shitty behavior men got browbeaten to accept as normalSounds like feminism
>>738426950Persona, the game where they removed the femc protag from 3 reload and they are still bitching about it to this day?
>>738427059As a healthy male, calling people the N-word over and over isn't something I'd naturally do. I think you're conflating psychopaths as males. Granted, the modern male is a lost cause.
>>738427009>irrefutable, observable behavior>call the person pointing it out a schizo because you have no argumentLefty raiders really are retarded aren't they>>738427013>the stereotypes must be changed because of an imaginary person I inventedSo you're admitting to cultural terraforming for political reasons. Thank you.
>>738427174>>738427198Ah yes, a very small minority. >>738425339
>>738424040That's not the issue. The problem is that the collective thinks that a male-dominated hobby means it's gonna be sexist, chauvinistic, and make men even worse to women. They got a hold of some very notorious examples of female characters that fit their agenda and ran with it.The other reason is that video games are fun.There's idiots on both sides of the conflict, but I agree it's all changed for the worse.
>>738425295Women spend the money of men. Husbands, fathers, sons, male taxpayers. It's easier to extract money from men by peddling shit to women, who will make some man or another pay for it. It's easier to convince a woman that she needs another set of some turbo knitting pins than it would be to sell the first and only set to a man.
>>738427217If there is no shitty behavior then neither can there be good behavior, it's all just gray amorphous slop.
>>738427349you're a schizo precisely because you think your headcanon is either irrefutable or observable, let alone both>>738427302and yet women love persona 5

>>738424040It isn't. Silence anyone who says otherwise.
>>738427563>NPC'SGCJ discord troons
>>738427535You're right, activists never talk about incredibly important it is for things to be more inclusive, and how bad it is to be at less than 50% female representationYou definitely don't see interest groups and CEOs and politicians and celebrities talking about this shit constantly, every day, and meeting every success with "and it's still not enough"
>>738427670That's the same thing, just more specific
>>738427407>it's just marketingSo why is it constantly pushed by ideologues instead of marketing executives?
>>738427670This makes it even worse, because women mostly tolerate troons at best and most don't even like them, so why troons blindly support women is beyond me.
>>738427729>incredibly important it is for things to be more inclusive, and how bad it is to be at less than 50% female representationwhat about this implies they want to go past that infinitely forever no matter the cost as per your schizo headcanon?
>>738427535>and yet women love persona 5Which doesn't cater to them, which makes it not only irrelevant to the point you're trying to make, but also compelling evidence that catering to women is pointless and unnecessary.
>>738427839Because you do the marketing for free do they don't have to and they still make money. Fantastic job. Cuck.
>>738427984>joker doesn't cater to womenok incel
>>738424040Corpos want to sell to everyone for more money
>>738427964>what about this implies they want to go past that infinitely foreverHave you ever seen them shut up and stop whining when they reach their goal of 50%?
>>738424040Because males are lazy and okay with being wastes of space. Women have empathy and feel great shame when being unproductive. We'd still be living in mud huts if it wasn't for women picking up the slack and carrying society forward.
>>738428063>for more moneythen why are they wasting time making game for women instead of just focusing on farm simulation (women game)
>>738428070>Have you ever seen them shut up and stop whining when they reach their goal of 50%?name one instance of this ever happening other than farmville and candy crush and the sims
>>738428109>never met a landwhale
>>738428063And yet every time they take a franchise that used to be made for men and make it for women, it flops. It even happened to Star Wars.
>>738428025>evades the part about ideologues so he can try to shame me for talking about itUpdate your playbook, this one just makes you look retarded
>>738428137Why aren't you doing this to make money if you've got it so cracked and it's so simple?
>>738428109kek
>>738428217You are an ideologue talking about their marketing points for them, because you're a dipshit cuck. The other ideologues do the same. Corporations make the money from it and you idiots just fling shit at each other over it while pretending to have a moral highground. You fucking whore.
>>738428205>men are tired of politics being in their games and shows>make a Star Wars so political that it eclipses shows about actual real life politics>it's the most critically successful and popular Star Wars in decades
>>738428205They're not very smart.
>>738428168Show me an activist that has ever said "Okay, we're in a good place, we can stop now."The pro-woman policy bias that gets something to 50% is never repealed or retired, the goalposts just move to some other ridiculous complaint because progressive activists base their identities on being progressive activists
>>738428205Because men are vindictive children who operate only on zero-sum.
>>738428334Is that why Kathleen Kennedy left and no one is watching SW now?
>>738428205Everybody is saying they want to make money, not that they are competent at it or even successful, usually. But nepotism allows these executive mistakes to get swept under the rug and then the incompetent slime can just lurch into another field or industry quietly and do it again somewhere else. They could give a shit less, they're making more money in one year failing than you will in a lifetime of being successful.

>>738428404show me a major genre or a major franchise whose audience demographic is over 50% female
>>738425295Because women account for 70-80% of consumer spending. That number sounds absolutely fucking insane but it's true, women buy WAY more shit than men do. Groceries, household goods, children's products, healthcare, clothing, travel and homes are all fields in which women make almost all of the spending decisions. Men only reach a majority of spending in fields like industrial equipment, commercial properties, gambling, tobacco and alcohol. Nearly everything else is female-dominated and it's not even close.Women spend almost all the money so it is lucrative to pander to them. The same is not true vice versa.

But when I look at the havoc wreaked on the cognitive faculties of men like yourself, it's impossible to make the argument that women are uniquely affected.
>>738429051>the emotional laborLMAO

The problem is as much what's kept out as what's put in. Any number of cool ideas could have been vetoed or defanged to avoid the possibility of offending some grievance warrior somewhere. The very idea of a game being restrained by sensitivity-readers is horrible. Especially one with a history of waging a puritanical war against beloved games and trying to bully developers into complying with said puritanism.

It started out as a mainly male hobby and lasted like that until the mid 2000's. I'd say the Wii opened up games to all ages and genders on a more socially acceptable level, and then games that are fun for both genders (farming games, Minecraft, the Sims) really exploded in popularity.Nintendo has firmly placed itself into a family market for all ages, Mario Kart is now a game that everyone plays. Animal Crossing and Pokemon are also pretty close to 50/50 in terms of male/female playership.The reason that this is good is that it diversifies the market, and there are now games that aim just for male or female markets, in addition to games that aim for everyone.The reason that this is bad is that it can dilute some series to try to appeal to a wider audience, ruining what made the original concept of a game series interesting to the initial audience. I used to care about this kind of thing, but I don't anymore. If a game series goes a direction I don't like, I just don't buy it. I'm spoiled with choice now and I sometimes play horny games and I sometimes play artsy inclusive indie RPGs. There are good examples of both.Things change, games are more popular than ever, so the ratio of inclusive stuff is higher, but there's also just a net positive of OG basement dweller mancave games too, so who fucking cares.
>all this gender-war shitflinging>the same insults and talking points being constantly recycled from previous similar threads>almost always guaranteed to start the moment an anon mentions anything gender-relatedI feel like these kinds of threads are now just incoming disaster zones for some of the most inane debates that really go nowhere.
>>738433183Based.
>>738433192It's fun
>>738426752>Women will never be a viable audience for video games.This. Outside of mentally ill women, dykes, and femcels, video games are inherently male as it's the one medium that is a companion to the male psyche and brain. Has been since the very beginning. Men naturally move away from a thing that is over 60% women, that is why you see male college attendence crashing. If women didn't like it and wanted them to take up more noble persuits, then maybe you shouldn't have squeezed men out of everything else like literature.
>>738433108>you're the bad actor, not the people openly being bad actors in this thread by spewing dishonest garbage while you try to make solid argumentsAbsolutely astounding.
>>738431568It seems to be going pretty well since the gaming industry has roughly doubled in market value over the past decadeIf you base your perception of the industry on an echo chamber like /v/ I don't think you'll end up with an accurate viewpoint.
>>738433192>the most inane debates that really go nowhereIf you actually pay attention, you will notice that it's always one side (delibeately) dragging it in that direction, and it ain't the chuds.
>>738433183Really, the whole thing is just a double-edged sword like most hobbies when they become extremely mainstream. You do bring up a good point that people seem to gloss over, which is that there's just a lot more games being made in general, especially autistic ones that appeal to said mancave gamers. Really the only real negative is that gaming now has a ton of eyes on it, so it's inevitable that you'll see a bunch of retarded takes on the space.
>>738424040because we could be making so much more money if we ignore the demographic that already likes games and hard focus on making video games for the group of people explicitly NOT interested in video games!!!!
>>738433323>the gaming industry has roughly doubled in market value over the past decademtx is to blame for that, much of it selling sex to lonely men and women in their respective horny games.
>>738433323Gaming has become mainstream and women still are highly underrepresented as consumers. Chasing them is simply not that profitable.
>>738433183Veering/course correcting too hard is also retarded in the end. Like when a male writer discovers his writing appeals to women, some times they somehow think they didn't write a straight enough story and overcompensate so hard they lose both audiences.
>>738433183I think it was actually the PS2. The Wii played a part but the PS2 was insanely successful. I know a lot of women who started gaming because their brother bought a PS2.
>>738429738Thanks again for conceding! >>738430836 >>738430780
Imagine Fire Emblem and Story of Seasons being made exclusively for straight men. The romance would be far more fleshed out because they don’t have to waste countless hours developing content for women and gay dudes.
>300 posts>screeching about orange hitler starts>not a single lefty can refute that catering to women and being more inclusive is not about allowing women to buy male oriented games, it means catering to their sensibilities and changing games to remove content they deem "problematic" and "sexist"Because deep down every lefty know it's the endgoal of muh-inclusion, but admitting it means they lose the argument on the basket weaving forum. Many such cases!

Because the best type of art is the one that can be enjoyed and appreciated by everyone. The state of modern literature is a pretty good example: Men have mostly retired from reading books, which means the vast majority of book readers, buyers and writers are women, and books are mostly written to appeal to women, and the results are fucking dire.Humanity is composed of two halves, and neglecting one will inevitably harm the other

>>738433884Star Wars wasn't really for gamers and it was initially made for mass appeal as a movie. Then it got bought by Disney. I don't think applying it to the games industry is really a good example.Early Star Wars games were made for the mostly male market, but when a movie series has been milked for decades the mainline products are going to be watered down versions of their original selves. If you're lucky there might be a good spin-off game. But it's Star Wars. It's a franchise that's so big it attracts neo-nazis and furry communists, and people that are somehow both at the same time.
>>738424994You will immediately cease and not continue to access the site if you are under the age of 18.
>>738433995>Because the best type of art is the one that can be enjoyed and appreciated by everyone.This is the most untrue statement that has ever been uttered on this form.No art can be appreciated by everyone. Trying to appeal to everyone is the death of art.Trying to appeal to people who aren't interested in a hobby is the death of a hobby. It strips it down and destroys what it offers for the sake of people who were never interested in it in the first place.Art is best served by niches being allowed to exist.
>>738433862Well do you have any statistics for the broader industry that support your point?

But naming individual games isn't going to cut it. They are still going to be exceptions rather than the rule. Broadly, women do not engage with games in a high enough number to be relevant to the hobby. The existence of specific games that appeal to women does not change this. Even if women did participate in gaming more broadly, it would still be retarded to take male-dominated titles/franchises and gut them to appeal to women.
>>738434087>No art can be appreciated by everyone. Trying to appeal to everyone is the death of art.You are conflating two very different statements. Art that can be appreciated by everyone is seldom art that has been MADE to be appreciated by everyone. The core elements and components of art are something that can appeal to everyone, and we have an entire history of humankind to prove it, with civilizations all across the globe and humanity's existance enjoying, appreciating and fostering the arts regardless of gender. Social norms would sometimes bar women from producing said art, but never from consuming it. Art being split in 'things for men' and 'things for women' is a relatively modern thing, and very closely related to its perversion through commercialization
>>738434089>FFXIV>womenYou poor bastard
>>738434214Nope like 30k monthly traffic.
>>738434162Oh yeah, that's a big one.And "I dreamed he raped me" too.
>1 in 4 women experience severe intimate partner physical violencexD
>>738434051>does nothing except making memes while whites are being raped irlSooo cooool bro MIGA!
>>738434356theres no fucking way its still that active after it went to complete shit last year
>>738434184I agree, grievance-whoring leftists ruin everything
>>738434403>that filenamekek
>>738433907>Please explain your reasoning.You're acting like a culture warrior, which has been out of date for years now. So yeah, you come across as a bad actor.>Please show me which rhetoric you are referring to.Pointing out leftist nature like it's still a surprise to anyone.It's jews, lefties, and shartyniggers. Goodnight.
>>738424040if you haven't noticed, the powers that be are trying to turn all people, men and women, into an asexual golem so that every single person is the target audience for every single product
>>738434184Except this time, it's not the (((banks))) causing division. It's trannies who love that video games have adopted their ideology and want them to stay that way.
>>7384339043 in 4 women are liars
>>738424040Women spent 85% of disposable income, meaning they spent both their own money and that of men. They are also completely metarialistic morons that fall for advertisement. Everyone who enters an industry not with a love for the product but the sole intention to make money wants as many retards that make bad financial decisions as his customer base, hence why all advertisement is oriented around the most retarded creatures on earth: Women, children, non-whites and sportsfags, with women being the biggest group of them all.To say that the biggest entertainment industry in the world, vidya, should remain to be predominently male is to deny countless sociopaths a paycheck.
>>738434304>Art that can be appreciated by everyone is seldom art that has been MADE to be appreciated by everyone.I agree with this, and I think it demonstrates that games that are made for their audience will always be better, and ironically more appealing generally, than games that specifically try to embrace mass appeal.>Art being split in 'things for men' and 'things for women' is a relatively modern thing, and very closely related to its perversion through commercializationBut that split isn't being forced. Men simply engage with games more.Like I said at >>738433796 it's organic participation that matters.
>>738434298>>738434331>every gamer gurl on the internet is a trannyI'm aware of the amount of trannies playing FFXIV, but there are also plenty of actual women. It's pretty easy to tell them apart because most trannies refuse to get on a voice call. >>738434303>Do you?No, lol. The point of my last post was to say that I don't have whatever statistics would be acceptable to you. They just don't exist. I think citing the profitability of certain games is better than making an assertion based on nothing but a feeling. >it would still be retarded to take male-dominated titles/franchises and gut them to appeal to womenI don't know why you're even arguing with me about this in the first place, my point is only that women gamers are a profitable sector.
>>738434127>>738434374ok I'll bite. If the rape problem is so bad why do women vote to bring in men from countries with the highest rape rates? Enlighten me on this?
>>738434587>To say that the biggest entertainment industry in the world, vidya, should remain to be predominently male is to deny countless sociopaths a paycheck.This explains why suits see it as bad, but not why rabid ideologues do.
>>738433717>I mean that's part of it but it isn't the only reasonchina is a really big factor as well.
>>738434696Sorry, I'm used to getting nothing but bad faith arguments so sometimes I'm more defensive than I need to be with someone arguing in good faith.I don't think our positions are mutually exclusive.
>>738434420>>It's actually 1mil
>>738434797Fair enough, I can relate.
>>738434823'teens... we are so back.
>>738434587But this doesn't fucking work, and I wish they'd realize it. 99/1000, when they change shit from men to women, it flops.
>>738434685>that games that are made for their audience will always be better, and ironically more appealing generally, than games that specifically try to embrace mass appeal.Once more you are conflating one statement with the other, but I can tell that you do understand what I mean here, so I won't push it more. What I mean to say in the end is that art CAN be appreciated by everyone, and that in fact that is the best type of art, because it means it's taking from the breadth of human experience instead of 'i should focus only on what my audience will enjoy/relate'Everyone has a feminine side. Every man is able to, in more or less intensity, understand and empathise with elements and ideas that are inherently feminine, which is why removing the feminine element entirely is bound to create a story that is lacking (and, of course, this works the other way around as well)
>>738434706When they mean "rapists," they mean white people. It's that simple. No amount of stats or figures showing that white men don't rape anywhere near as much as other races will ever resonate with them.
>>738434127that also happened in Brasil around 2009
>leftard lost so hard he starts spamming irrelevant bullshit in an attempt to derailMany such cases
>>738428574Holy smokes, you raped that faggot.
>dumb nigger thinks I'm leftist when I actively shit on women and their problems xD
>>738428574>but ZAM Leon's ass is PHATFunny thing is DESPITE all that, resident evil's buying power is 80% men with an average age of 38. Women schlick to tiktok edits and don't play the game.
Why do biological men want a hobby that once catered to them to not cater to them again?
>>738428574Well fucking said.
The forty year old t-mobile employee of two decades got banned again off xitter for the fiftieth time so he’s moved here to spam his garbage.
>>738438354Where do people even get all the time and energy to do this shit? Like just fucking chill.
>>738424040women hate men. they hate men so much that they adopt male oriented hobbies specifically to ruin them.
>>738425416I hate women, and men are funny, dumb, and cute
Women spend more money than men and more impulsively. So if the Jews can get women into gaming, the income of the industry will quadruple.
>>738424040Men by nature are evil.
>>738429860What makes something a real fallacy? Because this is one, "why do you care" is in no way, shape or form an argument. I could call it deflection or an implied ad hominem if it makes you feel better.
>>738431228It isn't, but that's the form it organically took. Changing it for aimless ideological reasons is at best pointless. Now answer the original question.
>>738424160don't lie>>738424040Roasties can't fucking stand guys having fun without themalso women spend more money than men so any industry that makes money would rather have female consumers than male ones
>>738425028they want women in game dev for the same reason they want jeets and AI. to lower wages. women make less money because if an industry is full of women that's double the labor pool
>>738428723Does Dead by Daylight count?
>>738424040Because I want a woman who shares at least part of my hobbies. Especially the kind of hobbies we can do together.
They let unqualified women have office jobs.They put them in positions of power.They gave them everything.And now men pretending to be women.Are doing the same thing.Vidya is now a cesspool of estrogen huffing queens.
>>738444574>Wants a gamer gfYou think you do, but you really don't.Your hobbies man
>>738445251what part of "part of my hobbies" did you not understand? You need to have at least SOMETHING in common to relate with another human being. Unless you only want a fuck hole in which case a dakimakura with an onahole is cheaper in the long run and with less drama.
>>738424040everything has to be for everyone so that megacorporations can get richer
>>738424840this but unironicallytruly sorry (jk) for jadedfaggots but they never liked vidya in the first place
>>738446142Yeah but videogames is not your only hobby, right? Surely you are a functional adult with plenty of hobbies to share with other people, right?
>>738446302>I consume slop without having any standards at all, and people who want good games are the ones who don't like video games
>>738446439dont care jadedfaggotdie alone and miserable
>>738446509>wishing death on other because he has to hear criticism of games he thinks he likes once in a while
>>738433958Yes. Getting "touched inappropriately" also counts. Basically the one time some cunt at school assumed I slapped her ass for whatever fucking reason counts as rape.
>>738446142Similar mindsets is more important than similar interestsAlso generally gamer girls make terrible gfs
>>738446364I have tons of hobbies and open to falling for more of them, at least the kind of hobbies that aren't stupid and expensive like audiophilia and that require huge living spaces like blacksmithing. Videogaming is a medium of entertainment like movies, or TV series and I would like if a future gf was at the very least casually interested in videogames so we can play shit together. Of course being too obsessed with one thing at the cost of others is a turn off.>>738447315>Also generally gamer girls make terrible gfsNot that I 100% disagree with that sentiment but do I spot a bit of projection here?
>>738447745>Projection Not my own experiences but those of people I've known. Specifically discord gamer girls(not e-dating, irl women)
Is this what this site is now? Just endlessly relitigating the 2010s culture war that it lost?
>>738448030Wasn't Trump winning for a second time and officially banning the vast majority woke shit and creating an anti-woke army a victory?
>>738424040It's not, you're just being a dick about it
>>738448030These are the only kinds of threads that move cause culture war flame wars are fun
>500 posts of the same chud samefagging for hours on end Holy shit lmao How did he lose the thread this badly
>>738448030This place is so fucking lame now. It's not even fun any more. It's just boring. The exact same fucking shit for a decade and a half. It's so boring I'm actually going to do my stupid desk job and fill in excel sheets.
>>738448415I noticed that whenever the republicans are starting to have really abysmal polling numbers, they start trying to push old gamergate talking points hoping that they'll get a boost from the fervent cultistsThis never works anymore since the 2016 election really was lightning in a bottle and the current set of right wingers are all brown third worlders
>>738448415its funny how you can really tell it was all one person since all the long-winded sephiroth posts stopped being made all at once >>738432917 >>738433578must have gone to bed lol
>>738448654Honestly, like 90% of the discourse on this board is dominated by a handful of terminally online autists with a pathological need to make everyone agree with them. People without actual jobs and without real problems in the world who can just afford to bitch all day that a video game ten years ago wasn't made exactly to their liking.

>>738424160>>738424560God leftists truly are incapable of arguing in good faith
A tale as old as time.>men do literally anything>women get mad and want to change/ruin itIt goes from media all the way to self care even. Just look at how comparably honest misogny is compared to misandry. Misogyny is straight up with what it is. But with misandry its all men's fault that women would be misandrist. Because "women would never!" Women are still centuries away from the emotional maturity needed to participate in society.
>>738448030>culture warEven thinking this was ever a thing, makes you a collossal terminally online faggot.
>>738424040Some out of touch boomers in a boardroom were convinced there’s an untapped market of female gamers who totally want to play CoD and StarCraft 2.
because they make less money if they exclusively target men, retard. are you a socialist? do you think that companies shouldn't pursue the best and most wide reaching possible product through competition?
>>738450235if your answer differs from this you are an illiterate retard
>>738450274>because they make less money if they exclusively target men, retardMany franchises make less money now than they used to. Which is why AAA is having a crisis to begin with. The costs dont reflect the income. The "exponential growth with new audiences" has not occured at all. Your psyop of "untapped audiences" is failing.
>>738450230Is this that leftoid thing where they just pretend something didn't happen? I wasn't even saying anything opposing you and you're still doing it.
>>738449994Yeah, like that, except I don't even know if there's that many of them really
>>738450409What makes you say he's a leftist?
>>738424040males aren't allowed to have safespaces or they might discover there's more to life than being subservient to foids or suits
>>738450343They haven't caught up the meta which is making cheaper, concept-driven games. Look at MOUSE P.I. and how people slobbered over it despite it being an objectively mediocre at best game. Suits are retarded and think that infinite money projects that make infinite money are realistic in an economy like this. mouse P.I. is also a woke game btw where the main antagonists are nazis
Well aside from the fact that you’d be doubling your potential market by making games that cater to women and men, I think it’s also because women are big spenders. Men will pirate shit, or wait for discounts, or just not play shit if they can’t afford it. Women will just blow through their pay checks the moment they get it.
>>738424040>Be vidya studio>CEO wants even more money, opens up to public investment>Weirdos with little hats throw BILLIONS into our company, own like 49% of it!!!>They don't even ask for much, they just ask for lots of gays, niggers, transgenders, etc in our games>Whoops game flopped like a motherfucker! QUICK! QUICK! WE NEED MORE MONEY!>IDEA! WOMEN ARE NOT BUYING OUR GAMES!>WE COULD DOUBLE OUR CURRENT PROFITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!>MORE WOMEN IN GAMES, MORE WOMEN FOCUS!>Game flops harder>WTF???
>want to sell games to more people for money>hope to achieve this by selling games to women>don’t know how to appeal to women so decide to hire women to work on your game>the only women interested in making games are fat ugly dykes and trannies>as a result they infest your game with fat ugly dykes and trannies>your game now appeals to less people than before and flops because of it
>>738448194It's not about the victory for some people. They need to endlessly kvetch about some topic.It would be like if the Mets won the world series and then baseball was just over forever. These shits are here for season 10 of the culture war to cheer for their favorite anti-woke player. One victory is just a trophy to collect for that point in time.
>>738426953>WomenMentally ill trannies aren't women
>>738450674Women are even easier to turn into addicts/whales than men are. There are middle aged women with four tablets on at once so they can collect the daily free shit on Monopoly Go multiple times.Mercy has 45 fucking legendary skins for a reason.
>>738450674>you’d be doubling your potential market by making games that cater to women and menThis is the delusion yes, it also almost never works because men and women are different and different things appeal to them. Cant really cater to one without sacrificing catering to the other.Then again you are a bot dumb enough say>women and menso obviously you wouldnt recognize an obvious truth for what it is
>>738424040because noseberg wants women's money too
>>738450409The leftoid classic is pretendig that something obvious doesnt exist, if that fails then pretending to not understand the issue.
>>738429051>Emotional labourJej
female gamers are less common than male gamers but when they play games they're into cool stuff like DMC or SMT while moids play LoL and CoD
>>738451476You dumb nigger, I’m speaking through the perspective of the executives who make these decisions. I don’t believe in what I wrote. Fucking retard.
>>738451669>OBVIOUSLY the culture war exists, I mean, I'm seething at video game character designs on the internet, and presumably so are other people in the other direction, that's basically a war, rightIt's all class war, Anon. Obviously.
>>738431871> won*riggedftfy
>>738424040>male>dominatesounds like fascism to me
>>738451962No you are not, execs dont work with logic like that. High level management is almost completely disconnected from the product being made, an excecutive in a large corporation does not even know what product the company is making much less how some aspects of that product might effect sales.Since 99% of a large company CEO work is office politics to not get replaced, actually thinking about development boils down to>hire X consulting firm to boost sales by Y percent because thats what happened with something else>financial analysts say that the future is GAAS so we should focus on that
>>738450409Don't fall for jewish labels >Culture warrior >Alt right >Maga>ChudYou create a label and psyop people into adopting them and simplify and shut down discourse before it begins by demonizing these groups.
>>738425627It's true I discriminate against black yarn skeins because I knit at night and I like seeing what I'm doing.
>>738429081It's not about representation. It's about spite. It's about seeing people they hate enjoying something and wanting to take it away.Women are, and always have been, extremely spiteful creatures.
>>738425858If my investments in the stock market can give me a 8-15% dividend per year then my investment in video games have to give more than that, yes it's less likely to succeed but if I hit it big I'm getting 300% or more of my investment back in 5 years.If a company isn't making a game that seems like it could get 300% of my investment back to me in 5 years, I will not invest in it, I will continue to invest in stocks and other low to no risk.Videogames don't have a place in the economy to be low-risk moneymakers, and the economy is ran by the rich.
>>738424160ammendment: no one worth listening to says it's a bad thing
>>738424040Its played under the guise of companies wanting a wider audience to sell more to but the roots of it is >>738424075Also women are petty bitches with nothing better to do, satanic panic and prohibition was caused by women
>>738425934In the course of a single thread, we have completed the meme. They denied it was happening, they asked why you even cared, and now they are at "it is happening and a good thing"
>>738427009A native English speaker would have written something like "This film is dedicated to the brave online schizophrenics" by the way.
>>738425934>>women no longer being discriminated against in videogame spaces>>738424040>Why is gaming mostly being a male-dominated hobby a bad thing?
>>738428334and then they immediately feminized and ruined it in season 2
>>738430780They're so fucking retarded and bad at this that I've been convinced it's some glowieshit to get us to feel satisfied slapping them around on here and not IRL
>>738429006Can you blame them? Every time they brand themselves as something we immediately start using the term as a joke and slur because they're that retarded. You'd think they'd take the hint.
>>738430197Yep. It's just the Left vs Normal People. Always has been.
>>738431961Not to mention them being used as a bucket of shit thrown over any actually useful left-wing ideas because now they're the Tranny and Groomer Party and will be forever until they clean house. Useful idiots to the core.
>>738424994You dont have to imagine
>>738424040Its just waaaaahmen crying over mens attention being moved from them to vidya. Also oldfuck boomers jealous they cant figure out a controller to play vidya but can figure out how to sit in front of a tv and get brainwashed by jewish broadcasting for multiple hours per day.
>>738434056Star Wars was for men, however. The Heroes Journey is a distinctly MALE path and idea.
>>738424040It isntThey tricked you
>>738434184It's also a healthy portion of painting any left-wing ideas (and there are good ones) with the same HomoGroomerTranny brush. It's so effective I doubt it's unintentional. These fucking useful idiots act against their interests as usual. Oh hey is that where they got that projection lmao
>>738424040up to 50% less sales? the line bro
>>738434184>>738456295You do realise that if we posit that identity politics is a psy-op by the ruling class to divide us, then you're the ones it worked on, right?>Yeah I used to support them but I just have to hate trannies more than I need to do something about banks
>>738456648Bankers didn't need their list of criminal spawn wiped from Wikipedia to save face.
>>738449994That's a Dick Circle!
>>738425627And you're supposed to think women could run things by themselves
>>738456648You're a meat shield that keeps the Repubs and their shitty ideas as the comparatively sane option. Think you moron.
>>738424040not a bad thing in of itself. There's always gonna be more women than men into fashion and stuff
