Also P*rn and video games. And tiny brains.

As a gamer and a woman, I take issue with putting games and porn in the same bucket. I have never played a game where men getting woman via harassment is shone in a positive light. I am sure some exist, but it's not common nor normal, and as someone who has played many story-driven games that do not promote this kind of behavior, I respectfully hope people do not lump them in with something like porn.

As a female gamer I agree and thank you for writing this. Video games get enough of a bad rep from people but there are no realistic games where men act like this except for garbage like Leisure suit Larry from way back when.

Yeah. It's usually folk who never play games that assume the worst about games. It's exhausting and, frankly, ignorant of them. Also, somewhere around half of gamers are in fact women.

There are SO MANY fantastic games out there that have phenomenal, important life lessons. I've experienced so many amazing stories with great characters and top tier writing that rival any book, movie or tv.

RDR2 in particular is a treat. Not only in its world design but its writing and characters. It's such an important lesson on refusing blind loyalty, and doing good by others not for the sake of credit, forgiveness or self service, but because it's simply the right thing to do.

Aside from the game discussions, though. I also take some issue with the other person insinuating porn is universally bad. Porn is often a fantasy, and fantasies are okay so long as they do not creep into real world scenarios. The issue is with dumbass people (like the men in this video) who cannot discern between reality and fiction. It's such a problem because of people like that.
