Women ruined gaming again… Note: This is my first EVER scripted & researched video essay commentary video! Leave a like to let me know if you want more of this kind of video in the future!

This video is interesting insofar as it’s the creator’s first venture into video commentary. Due to the hype surrounding GTA6, the fascist/anti-feminist backlash bleeds into the mainstream and now people who had previously not been aware of the fascist/anti-feminist content on social media are exposed to it. [Most of the fascist/anti-feminist content creators she mentions are the usual suspects of fascist/anti-feminist content and have been at it for years.]

    Worth watching… I never got all the alarm. You can play as a strong woman in Cyberpunk2077 and nobody gave a shit…but maybe that’s because it was a binary choice, where in GTA you can play as one or the other, but the other is always going to be there.

    Incels are stupid and should go back to their fucking mom’s basement.

      Technically in Cyberpunk it’s not “one or the other” as you can mix and match genders and genitalia.

        True, but I think overwhelmingly it’s that it’s a single character and you get to choose… I’m just surprised that more of these incel idiots aren’t complaining about the gender-fluidness, same-sex relationships, etc…

        But because this one pushes the relationship as a part of the game play, everyone fucking suddenly hates it…

          They pushed Niko’s relationships with everyone in GTA 4, and people look back on that fairly fondly.

          This just seems like fake outrage.

    She ain’t wrong, a lot of (male?) gamers are just extremely toxic children.

    If it upsets you to see someone different than you depicted as powerful in media, you are some kind of bigot.

      I would expand that out to onclude anybody that spends more free time infront of a screen away from other humans, are a toxic bunch.

      Wish there was a way to track the amount of opinions you have reqd on the internet but have never ran into in the real world lol.
