Comment on A patient gamer youtuber explaining why she only plays old games
ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks agoshe made points I have never heard about that I found interesting, like disappearing of some femininity aspects to awkwardly try to avoid sexism accusations.
These are very common talking points of gamer gate bigots. It’s a giant red flag, because the people who talk about it are bigots

Gamergate is not a very specific circumstance. It was a widespread harassment campaign involving the entire industry. This is a follow on from that movement, and any game that releases a female protagonist that isn’t soft and demure gets active push back from this group.

Pretty prejudiced take. Like in the literal sense of the word.

She shouts out a racist who was banned from twitch for bigotry, so I’d say it’s pretty spot on as a red flag.
