"During the time I was busy not getting back into GTA 5, something remarkable happened: the new trailer for Super Mario World 3D. It’s essentially two and a half minutes asking, “Remember when games used to be fun?”" what Do you not understand that different genres of entertainment are made for different types of people in mind? If a product doesn't initially appeal to you, it shouldn't have to go out of it's way to win you over because it's ultimately an uphill battle to futility. You are essentially a film critic who loves romantic comedies and doesn't care for slashers, trying to explain why slashers are bad because they are what they are, while praising the rom-coms because the genre directly appeals to you. It's okay to not like something. Making a fuss about The Walking Dead because it's a zombie show, or Star Trek because it's a science fiction space film or Grand Theft Auto V because it's a sandbox filled with familiar stereotypes - things that potentially clash against your tastes - just means you probably shouldn't watched it or played it in the first place. "I still don’t think any of that is wrong: representation is important, even if it is just representation for the sake of representation. And I think it’s lazy to spend millions of dollars trying to get natural lighting and weather patterns to look realistic, but then slather the whole thing in a bunch of tired stereotypes. And I still think that “it’s just a bunch of over-sensitive feminists trying to ruin everybody’s fun yet again” just makes the speaker look like an idiot. It’s time to stop being so frightened that you’re losing control of the treehouse fort and acknowledge that the girls want to play, too." And in the end, this is what gamers are worried about. You come in and expect everyone to change what they like for you. It's the equivalent of walking into a comedy club telling dirty jokes and getting offended, insisting that they perhaps start cracking puns -- even though the comedy club has spent the past decade and a half telling those exact jokes. Build your own comedy club, or just leave ours alone. We know what we like and we don't want it changing for people who were never fans in the first place.
