Feminism and Gaming

RE: Feminism and Gaming
(October 24, 2014 at 10:35 am)DeistPaladin Wrote: It's an issue often debated in gaming. Women sometimes find depictions of women in gaming and fantasy to be objectionable. Some of these objections are legitimate and others, I feel, are not. This post explains the distinctions.

I get the general idea of the distinctions you are making between legitimate and non-legitimate complaints, but I'm not exactly sure just how you see these distinctions in the gaming world.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
