>>31997869While you were typing your post he was caught bating red handed like a teenager with no lock on his door and didn't even try to pretend he was scratching an itch. That being said, I do agree with the point you're making. A lot of what girls (or at least, the mildly reasonable ones) dislike about some video games and the attitude used with making media for them is that it's literally made FOR them and other, often cooler, stuff is considered "off limits" and "for boys." They're told to pretend to change diapers with dolls that, as opposed to the things male toys do, have "really able to poop" as their selling point. If I was a girl I'd definitely feel bad that guys are told they should look up to people with super powers and girls should look up to housewives. They're forced to aim much lower imagination-wise, or at least encouraged to. On the opposite end of that guys are essentially punished for embracing their feminine side. This leads to overly submissive and boring women and overly masculine and uncaring guys, both unbalanced. Rather than media making things for girls and for boys they should make things that are legitimately good and appeal to both genders, a perfect example of this already IS Pokemon. Hell, I meet more female Pokemon fans in real life than I do male ones. If more media were like this the lonely ones among us could more easily find a girl that wants to play video games and go see super hero movies instead of settling for a girl with "normal" girl interests that wants to watch the Kardashians and shit while scoffing at your more "nerdy" interests. Pic related; a popular Pokemon that is both feminine and still bad ass and powerful that can easily appeal to bother genders.
