Twitter vs Female Protagonists in Video Games
Thanks #XboxOne #E3 press conference for revealing to us exactly zero games featuring a female protagonist for the next generation.
— Feminist Frequency (@femfreq)Above is a tweet I made this afternoon in reaction to the fact that none of the games presented at Microsoft’s Xbox One E3 press conference featured female protagonists. Below are some of the Twitter replies to that observation which exemplify the male privilege and male entitlement endemic in the gaming community today. This is also a window into what it’s like to be a female video game critic on twitter.

There’s a difference between enjoying something that’s problematic and excusing something that’s problematic because you enjoy it.

Meet Sygmond The Grey, a truly majestic cat from the northern lands of Legendary Maine.
oh my GODS this is the most majestic fucking thing i have ever seen
look at it
look
that is epic floof.
Why monsieur, le floof, c’est magnifique!
I want this cat.
Wow, This cat makes Spooky look short haired.
I often refer to Theoden’s “fluffilicious enormitude.” Unfortunately, he is definitely not the king in that category anymore. This cat WINS at fluffilicious enormitude!

This 2009 image captures the scene on a foggy night in Odessa, Ukraine, when a digital billboard crashed and displayed a floating error warning in the night sky.
while the image is hilarious in itself, the idea is terrifying
like, imagine looking up into the sky and seeing this
WHAT IS AIR
