Message: <blockquote data-quote="doctorbadwolf" data-source="post: 7715165" data-attributes="member: 6704184">"Explore feminism all you want, but not that modern feminism that I don't approve of, with it's support of trans people and recognition that women of color, queer women,  and especially queer women of color experience sexism in ways that white cishet women don't" Yeah, that is totally better than a game that focuses on one "type" of feminism. /sNope. These games explore modern feminist discussions and issues. Don't like it, don't buy it. You hating the thought of people talking about mansplaining doesn't change that it's a thing people are discussing as part of modern feminist discourse. Regardless of anyone's thoughts on whether it is "real" (it is), it is inarguably a real topic of modern debate and examination. That is worth exploring in a game format.the idea that we shouldn't have that debate because people who already want to dismiss feminism will have more ammo with which to dismiss feminism is...just a really bad arguement, on every level. It's Joss Whedon saying we need to hangs he name and rebrand. Hell no. And by the way, any discussion of racism or gender inequality, or homophobia, in the US, regardless of era, is political. Because those things haven't gone away. Equality is not here. It can't be a thing of the past because it never existed. More importantly, these are the discussions people are having out there in real life. Maybe not in your circle of friends, but definitely all over the world, at all kinds of age groups, in most walks of life, these are the discussions, and they matter. It is absolutely worthwhile to keep having them, and to find new ways to explore them.</blockquote>
