What are your thoughts on Feminism in gaming?

I know this is a hot-button topic right now on social media, but since 48% of gamers identify as female and the age/race of gamers is pretty varied, why is there still a stigma against certain groups perpetuated by the media and certain SJW movements? I just want to hear your thoughts on the subject if you're interested in the topic.

  • That they, and every other group trying to change gaming because of politics, need to -blam!- off and go mind their own damn business. And I consider feminism to be a complete and total joke anyway. In places like the U.S., Canada, the majority of Europe, Australia....basically any civilized first world country, feminism is absolutely not needed. All of the so-called "issues" I see feminists in places like America and Europe calling out amount to pretty much the definition of first-world problems, and not only that are something that [i]everyone[/i] has to deal with (like assholes/trolls online for instance). So yeah, feminism in the first-world is something completely pointless and all they're doing is whining and bitching about not everyone bowing down and worshipping them and doing whatever they say (essentially). Pretty much all gamers don't give a shit whether you're a man, woman, white, black, Asian, European, African, straight, gay...whatever other descriptors you can think of, they just don't care and don't think it matters. They just want to play good games. The (in comparison to gamers as a whole) small number of trolls should not be held up as representative of the [i]entire[/i] group anymore than radicals and extremists in any group or movement should be held up as the example when they're the minority (like Westboro is not representative of Christianity and Al Qaeda and ISIS/ISIL/IS (whatever the -blam!- they're called these days) are not representative of every single Muslim throughout the entire world).
