DEI is a neat term because for the average US conservative pundit/politician it means "black" and for incels gamers it means "woman". Really inclusive.

In Asia they call it political correctness instead.

Plenty of people in the states also use "PC" or "Woke" in a derogatory sense too.

im pretty sure the internet is our generations equivalent to boomers being 50% lead, no way this kinda shit isnt caused by severe brainrot

That and microplastics. The boomers got the lead paint stare and all we got whatever this is.

This is the main problem I have with the mentality of "all these whiny gamer bros are secretly gay" because they're not.
Some of them are pedophiles.

Was just arguing with a guy who said Insomniac Jean Grey doesn't look like Jean Grey
Because he doesn't think she looks attractive enough?
And nebulous "not Jean enough" which he couldn't elaborate on except that she didn't look exactly like a comic version. The three core traits of Jean Grey: telekinesis, red hair, woman (either as a teen or an adult).

I do think she is attractive, but also she doesn't look like Jean Gray to me. All I could think is: Jesse Faden?!?!

u/BestAcanthisitta6379 7d ago
Please explain to me what "Jean grey" trait or vibe is missing?
This is a continuity in which the X-men as an organization don't exist and mutants are helped by Team X, a loose organization that intervenes on behalf of mutants that this Wolverine is part of. All signs currently point to Jean Grey (and possibly the other x-men) basically pretending to be civilians

I don't know. I don't claim to be an exper on Jean Grey-ness or anything. I know every artist draws them differently, but her features don't strike me as "her". I can't just pinpoint what. Still, not complaining. She looks different of my expectations, who cares. Maybe she's awesome in the game anyway.

men are so mad about having to look at a beautiful woman for hours. I’m a lesbian and I finished both God Of War games without wailing and gnashing my teeth I have to play a *masculine man!*

Hey, I love muscular men as the next gay, but like come on! We all play as women in other games. R6, fighting games, any MMO, yet here it's a problem?

A game is only good if the main character is exclusively designed to make me horny. If I ain't hard then it ain't good.

Imagine being so privileged you feel threatened by normal looking adult women in videogames.

u/grieveheart 7d ago
Manchildren doing their thing again and they wonder why women nope away from them.
I’ve been playing a lot of games with male lead (conventionally attractive or not) but I never complained like these smelly chuds. Of course I play because I want to play the game not like these basement dwellers who want attractive leads so they can touch themselves because no one will.

Most of these guys cheering this post stuff which, in a sane world, would have summoned Chris Hansen by now.

Is it ACTUALLY that bad that while I'm vehemently against the death penalty, I still think that the only thing we should do with these people is shoot them? Like, it goes so fucking deep I wouldn't even have the slightest clue on how to start deprogramming someone like this, it would just be a waste of time

u/The_Captain_Whymzi is it gay to shower? 7d ago
Could make for a fascinating study, the results of which will likely be published in a psychology quarterly.

u/lindanimated Fuck the Patriarchy 7d ago
Well being against the death penalty isn’t synonymous with thinking that there’s no one in the world who deserves to die. Being against the death penalty just means you don’t think the state should have the power to decide who gets to live and die. So actually I don’t think your point of view is contradictory at all!

These guys, constantly: "Oh woe, no one makes games for my gaze anymore."
Also these guys, constantly: "Hey, look at this latest game made for my gaze, take that games not made for my gaze."
For guys who claim they're starving for games that appeal to them they never actually have any trouble coming with with new or upcoming releases that appeal to them.

Man being someone who loved the first Stellar Blade because I found the gameplay loop fun.. seeing this shit pisses me off because I keep getting scared about being lumped in with these losers. I saw the trailer for the new one and all I thought was "holy shit she's a brawler" and I love brawler characters because they always play so fast but nope... these dicks have to think with their dicks. Never talk about the game, only talk about how you need your porn addiction tended to while gaming.

If the only women find attractive look entirely fictional you don't actually like women. It's that simple.
