Sexism in the Video Game Industry

Thought this was going to be a long article? Wrong, motherfucker. There is no sexism problem in the video game industry. Video Games literally could not be more "inclusive" - whatever that word means. If you want to play video games but are worried about the lack of "inclusivity", follow this simple guide.

1. Buy a video game and, if needed, the necessary platform to play it.
2. Set it up.
3. Play your fucking video game.

Notice how none of that involved gender, race, or sexual/gender identity. No game will ever forbid your from playing due to your sex chromosomes or racial background or anything else.

Gender/Racial/Sexual Diversity of a development team is absolutely meaningless as an indicator of quality as well. A team of 100 white men can make a great game the same as 100 black women or 100 polygender ambrosexuals can.

That's about it, folks. The reason so many people continue to complain about being "marginalized" or "harassed" based on these issues is because they have no relevancy outside of their perceived "oppression". If any of these shrill, nagging diversity queens didn't have the "boo hoo I'm so mistreated" angle going for them they would be soundly ignored.

The whining children complaining about "lack of diversity" in video games do not produce anything worthwhile. As such, their future in the Industry is dubious.
