Is Todd Right?
Vote
He's been back on the site as of lately and recalls the sites strengths in its 10+ years of writing faqs from amateur gamers which made it a staple...but says it isn't as friendly as it looks and says many of those people were Sexist as they write about female characters in old jrpg and fighting game guides He describes how some writers note on a female characters attractiveness but never for the males and it isn't a one off notice. He said one write wrote of a female character being "beautiful and strong with nice bosoms" and another mentions a jrpg character, Angela from Trials of Mana and how HOT she was when she does a special move as he described it 'creepy' He said he just wanted to give an imaginary FACE SLAP to that writer. In another jrpg game, FBA Fire Emblem, he says the writer notes that you should ONLY choose male characters and to not pick female ones or you'll have a REAL challenge There's plenty of more sexist FAQs he ca name but he wanted to make a statement that the male dominated site are still connecting women as sexual objects with no useful abilities as characters in video games and shrugs people off to use them. He thinks the reasoning behind this sexist culture is the specific type of masculine identity being sold to players for decades and it's been marketed in that regard where men dominate fields in science, computer science, competitive sports and now game development and it caters to their dirty minds He even says it dates back in the days of Atari where the industry had a very "just dudes being dudes" vibe such as Nolan Bushell who wrote a shirt saying "I love to f***" and how that set the tone for how games are made to sell to males But even as females got into the game, it didn't change that toxicity and even made it worse for female game developers. What he takes away from this though is none of these sexualizing comments are new but rather the world is now in a cultural shift and the old days of writing FAQs are over. Todd doesn't want to say "gamer men are evil" but rather notices how times have changed and he wonders how those late teens to early 20s who wrote those faqs see their write ups 20-30 years from now and asked if they had learned anything..

It's sexist right now. Women in media are only spoken about in terms of their attractiveness by a lot of people. They don't view women as anything more than objects that exist for their dicks to get hard to.
