So there was a post about E3 a few days ago, with a woman complaining about the lack of female roles. I support gender EQUALITY as much as most feminists, but i made a post saying this girl shouldn't be clumping in things like "Code your own game" and "Why do you NEED a female protagonist" with thinks like "SHUT UP CUNT" was shadey and not necessary. I followed it up with actual experience from the game industry that I WORK IN! I simply said it is a FACT that having a female protagonist does NOT instantly guarantee females buy the game. In most cases, it becomes a target for teenage boys instead. Suddenly 3 days later, i am BANNED from ever posting to AtheismPlus.

This is just PATHETIC. I WAS SUPPORTING EQUALITY, AND BANNED FOR STATING FACTS THAT I DON'T EVEN LIKE!

Edit: Check this TURD out from the AtheismPlus admins.

"I'm sure your giant binders are all well and good. I'm not sure that they exist, but supposing they do - it still doesn't make creating a female protagonist a "tokenism" gesture. The idea of targeting a game to women is quite different from simply including a female protagonist or female-option protagonist (like Femshep). Obviously game design does not have a handle on what women actually want out of their games, and what would drive them to purchase more of them. However, that does not prevent them from developing non-gender-specific games that simply allow you to choose your protagonist's gender, or hell, race. Frankly it's very difficult to believe that women "don't care" about the gender of their protagonist. I'd be willing to bet that it rated lower on the scale than other concerns, because women are used to having no representative and having to identify with male leads. Offer a woman a female playable character (like Zoey from L4D) and chances are she'll pick that character."

Seriously, i WORK at a game studio. We literally do have binders and binders of documents from our advertisers, and from our marketting department saying women don't care. The majority of women see male/female characters the same way we see white/black characters. It doesn't matter. A good game trumps have token characters. Games with female protagonists usually have a great launch, but the ARPDAU(average revenue per daily active user) tanks right away, and typical users do not continue to play the game beyond 2 months, compared to the 5 month norm. That is a HUGE GLARING FACT!

Edit again: Here's another great one "MOST women have moved beyond gender being a cultural issue Ahahaa. Your head is so far up your ass it isn't even funny. I didn't ban you, but whoever did made a good call. Run along."

So apparently the mods cite their own raging clitoris as a source, because my work has about 6 different studies to back up the claim (which the mods so conveniently cut in half) that most women who game DO NOT care about gender roles the same way they do not care about race roles.

Edit 3: Now that she (the moderator waitwhatnow) is demanding that i xerox confidential corporate documents, just to prove that I am not sexist. Because somehow corporate greed, equals my sexism. She also apparently has 0 concept about what an NDA is. This is just pathetic. She demands sources for claims against her, but she pulls anything out of her raging clit, and declared all women want this without any sourcing. This is just getting hilarious.
