Yes,here I agree with you. I hope in 10 + years real critics discuss this stuff and not blogging college kids.
People are talking about what games SHOULD be.They should be everything.We just need different protagonist for more people,not less.Anime now is more boring compared to the 90's not because of the offensive boobs,but because of the predictable repetition.
I don't care about ''equity"in media,I just want to see more different interesting ideas(also more non-human protagonist please,like monsters or aliens).
But also remember - games are not movies.Even if you start playing AC or CoD with women,the gameplay will be the same - old rehash.We also need to talk about diversity in game mechanics - but no one is talking about that unfortunately.

RE: #SkeletonGate
Okay,I talk about the crazy people that fight on twitter or circlejerk all day on echo-chamber forums - you think they don't exist? And this cringe internet fighting was waaaay before the the GG shit.The GG manchildren are the reactionary,not the "SJW".
The only end game is more variety of well written characters in media, and also perhaps a more moderate or thoughtful use of offensive materials.
This is very subjective stuff.What is well written and offensive to you,isn't for others.So maybe it will be end game for you,but for others it won't be.

RE: #SkeletonGate
You know I can buy that the mainstream games press is kind of shit. It's like overnight all the writers on these blogs started fashioning themselves as art critics and pretending video games are SERIOUS BUSINESS and it's just weird as hell. And I'm sure that the channer reactionaries and all those washed out celebs are stringing along a whole bunch of people like me, who don't actually have any quarrel with feminism but just feel kind of alienated
But then what's the endgame, exactly? If you're a real enthusiast you can literally just go on the developer's facebook page nowadays to find out about how your favourite game is coming along. I think most people now just use social media like youtube, twitch, reddit, etc. to find out if a game is good or not before buying, since the pros come off as dishonest. Can't you just like….not read polygon or whatever if you don't like the content and do the same? Why make such a big stink.
The endgame is nothing for both sides.
The skeletors ''fight'' against political agendas in gaming.I kinda get that - when they're kids the big boogie man was Jack Thompson - the big old republican white man,who hate the fun shooting in their vidi gamez.Now for them the big boogie wo-man is just the crying liberal white woman.
But what do they want,to ban clickbait blogging sites?Twitter users? And aren't they aganst censorhip,this is one of their reasons why they hate SJW or something -how would that work?
I don't think that they don't want women in their games - these people are just extremely reactionary.Maybe they wanted it before for a change of pace,but now they don't because "the side that I don't like on the internet will win if it happen".
And what about the other side- the warriors? They fight for ''equality'' and women "rights"in vidi gamez.Cool,but what is their end game?
50 % female protagonist in gaming for realism?Or maybe more?This is pretty hard change,but it can happen.
But then what? What will they wear,how are they supposed to act?Too little,too much clothes,acting feminine,acting masculine - what's right and completely
non-offensive?Also remember,not every game can have award winning characters.And quite frankly,most genres don't need them - like puzzle games.
So both sides think that they're fighting for something really important on the internet - the one side fight the evil political agendas and feminazis that want to destroy the fun in their vidi toys,and the second side fight the evil misojini demon rape nerds from hell.
Both sides have some valid points,but unfortunately they are too hateful and toxic for normal people to care. -
RE: #SkeletonGate
Well,repetition comedy is never really that funny.And internet memes are just the monster baby of repetition comedy,where every person on the internet can tell you the same joke over and over and over again.Then after 1 year everyone hates the old meme and they make slightly different new meme to repeat.

RE: Sexism in this chapter and OP in general
There seems to be a middleground here, so can't agree with your "either yes or no".
Where?I see only name calling and internet bickering.
Maybe you can try this discussion in real life for less "annoying opposition".And what are you doing here if it's too boring and pointless? Honest question.
I'm in a forum.This is what bored people do,write stuff in forums.

RE: Sexism in this chapter and OP in general
Haha,the mods of AP are walking internet stereotypes.This is great.
Peasants like me need to fight the great internet battles,not mods.You need to act modly and high.But in all seriousness,the sexism debates on the internet are the new "religion vs atheism" debates.
What's the point of them?It's just "yes" from the one group and then "no" from the other.
They're are too boring to be worthy of popcorn.And the shitstorm is always the same. -
RE: Chapter 752: "Palm"
No, he wanted Pluton to take over the world. Not the same thing.
Also, any deep connections to revolutionaries are going to come off as completly random, at this point in storyline. Suddenly, everyone is a revolutionary, or something along those lines.
Well,he knows Ivankov from somewhere.And he start helping Whitebeard and Luffy after the reveal that Luffy is Dragon son.So not that random really.
