121. Ya know, I'm a heavy gamer

always have been since my first computer, a commodore 64 back in the late 80s.

Never have I worried about whether a game was made by males or females. Also, the whole making female characters sexually appealing has never had an impact on me. Seeing the scantily-clad female characters actually makes me roll my eyes and I more than 99% of the time play a male character just because I identify more with that.

Does that mean I would never play a female character? Not at all. In one of my smartphone games one of the classes is female only, but still fun. Do I pay attention to the sexualization of female characters, sometimes, but I don't let it affect me either way.

Point is, I play a game based on a few things. 1. Whether I find the game entertaining 2. Whether it has replay value and 3. Whether the cost is worth the length/depth of the game.

This generation of female-hating Nazis just confuses me. I don't get it. I understand the point that these female voices are making about the content of games related to females. I agree with them to an extent. But in the end it doesn't affect me either way.
