It's not so much a matter of realism as it is functionality. They just wouldn't work well, among other issues.

Most things in fiction are unrealistic. What's your point?

Don't know what this has to do with games.

I agree. The analog sticks have nowhere near the precision of a mouse where aiming and camera control are concerns.

whataboutism involves changing the subject. Boob plate armor are unrealistic. Boob plate armor are fiction. Fiction is unrealistic. What's your point?

Also, 'Whataboutism' is a rhetorical device that involves accusing others of offenses as a way of deflecting attention from one's own deeds. I don't see how that applies here.

Boob plate armour being unrealistic is less a matter of historical accuracy and more a matter of "having armour plates deflect blows closer to the heart is a stupid idea." Non-historical games still have the same physics and anatomy to consider.

I'm not sure what's meant or how this pertains to gaming. If it's simply about the individual who dresses as the opposite gender, that's not necessarily a sexuality issue or even a gender issue. If it's about somebody knowing that an individual is crossdressing but finds them attractive anyway -- or finds them attractive because they know the individual is crossdressing -- there are some pretty strong questions about sexuality there.

Yes.

I can kinda see it, although it would be a stronger case if he listed specific examples to make his case. More generally, though, "whataboutism" is frequently used to defend unwarranted criticisms by ignoring precedent. Not to mention that it's frequently and hypocritically employed by its biggest critics, making the concept itself laughable.

It's even worse than that since the design can actually *guide* attacks to sensitive areas.

Phone app games are just as legit as console or pc games. So anyone who only plays phone games is a true gamer.

It matters if you're going for immersion or if it's a serious game at all. At least, realism inside the setting.

If it's a silly, wacky game, then yeah. Realism doesn't matter.
