Genuinely curious, what's the female fantasy?
It's Sims, isn't it?

DOA is cringe af, I agree, but it's still allowed to exist.

Well yeah, I think just about any game should be allowed to exist, minus a few exceptions

Im not saying that I dont think the game should exist, Im saying that anyone who actually plays DOA, is a pleb

But the girl from that video seems to imply it shouldn't which is the problem.

Some feminists believe there shouldn't be anything that primarily appeals to men. It's either appeal to women or appeal to both.

I think it's fundamentally different concepts being talked about. Her statement is about the focus on gratuitous violence and power fantasies such as killing the prostitutes and wanton mass murder and not just horny perverts.

Nah, DOA was fine originally because it was an actual, very fun game.

It lost its way though :/

Im not agreeing with her at all, Im stating my opinion on what a game that appeals to the male fantasy actually is, and that is big boob chicks fighting other big boob chicks

It's true though. As a male, I have always desired to stack pills on top of viruses until they go away, and to dig into the ground for treasure using a giant bird.

When a franchise that previously exploited "male gaze" suddenly does not, all that accomplishes is alienateing the audience it had, while failing to acquire a new audience.

On the other hand, it attracts normal people to be open to playing the game, that would normally be embarrassed to even be associated with it

I seriously doubt Mortal Kombat is suddenly going to grow in popularity because all the women are sensibly dressed now.

This does not matter. TLOU has never been a franchise about exploiting "male gaze" yet gamers still bitched and moaned about SJW pandering and "uglee woomens."

Those are exactly the games that flounder the most after misguided "SJW pandering". Anything else gets little more than isolated internet whining.
