devisidev: colorsofsocialjustice: dasha-aibo: siryouarebeingmocked:psiotechniqa: theswedishelf: And just to amp up the hypocrisy even further, keep in mind that part of the voice acting for a Mortal Kombat game involves envisioning yourself being horrifyingly dismembered and mutilated while letting out agonized screams. At the hands of a potentially male opponent, no less. The hypocrisy…. Every single one of those is in a universe with violent women, and 5/7 of those games let you play as violent female characters. 6, you can play as the hacker girl in Gat out of Hell Wait, you’re all saying she’s being a hypocrite but not showing anything which disproves her statement. She’s not saying these games make men violent, which is what it sounds like you all think she said, what she said is that those games actually reinforce male gender roles. Because they all do. And just because all the women in those games don’t adhere to female gender roles doesn’t change that none of those games include men that don’t strongly adhere to male gender roles. People really just read “violent video games”, “stereotypical” and “man” and immediately assumed that she was a hypocrite jfc Guess you missed the part where what she said is put right next to all the violent shit aimed at male audiences that she’s proudly worked on. -- source link
