Have you heard about that sexist video game in which Metroid is running through a planet full of deadly aliens to save some princess damsel in distress named Samus? The game's called Metroid after the main protagonist running to save Samus. I'm shocked, it's 2015 and developers are still doing this? WTF?! I mean, I'm a hard core gamer girl and even I'm finding that sexist as hell. Almost as bad as Zelda trying to save the princess all the time. Sexist sexist sexist.
Yes, unlike a tech writer at the Huffington Post I have heard of the fearsome bounty hunter Metroid. Do you think it’s a co-incidence that you have to defeat ‘Mother Brain’. You have to go there and murder a woman. It clearly encourages violence against female creatures. And I agree, the fact Zelda has to rescue some nameless princess game after game is 512bit misogyny.
Did you know Nintendo have a track record with this? For example the character Punch Out, is a man. The racer F-Zero, also a man. The character Pikmin, also a man who enslaves native POCs. The character Fire Emblem is a feudal lord who lords of over, you guessed it, hordes of women.
Are Nintendo’s games inclusive for everyone or exclusive for anyone who isn’t a white male. I’ll let you decide. (actually I won’t let you decide I’ll decide for you, the answer is they’re sexist and you and your extended family should feel deep shame if you play them).
Did you mean Link having to save Zelda all the time? Zelda is the princess, not the warrior. Please check your facts before posting so actual hardcore gamers will take this seriously. This is an important issue and alluding to the wrong characters won’t help your case.
