obe, I added "as a woman" to my post not because I felt like society has brought me down to a point where I have to let everyone know I am a woman on the internet, but because there are people out there that decide they are speaking on behalf of every female. This whole thread was about the Dina fiasco and about feminists and your so called outrage from angry misogynistic nerds. Now you're telling me that I am not allowed to identify myself as a woman who does not agree with being called an angry misogynistic nerd, nor with extreme feminist views?
Sarkeesian knows how to make a good presentation. That's not the same as speaking in a well researched manner. She leaves out key important games and characters that show failings in what she is trying to say. So I cannot back someone who refuses to acknowledge evidence that does not support their own argument.
obe_I don't see why you identify as a girl other than to try giving your post more weight than it deserves.
4) Finally, Might No. 9 is a SUCCESSOR to Megaman. It's not Megaman. It's pretty silly to point out that the title of the franchise that this IP isn't directly connected to has the word "Man" in it and thus cannot feature a female protagonist.
So my post holds no weight now? Sounds like you are trying to hold me down because of my gender, which is apparently a very familiar argument for you.
Lastly, back to the reason this thread is here: Might No. 9 kickstarter gave the impression that it was going to create an MM for this generation that holds true to what the fans of MM have been wanting for a very long time. Point is, Dina is not going to help the company do that. If she does, indeed, change the main role to a female, the supporters are going to be upset about that. The fact that her feminist views were brought into light, and the fact that she reacted so poorly is what caused the outrage. It's not because she is a woman. It's because of what she wants to do to the game.
If she wanted the players to be able to choose between male or female at the beginning of the game, fine. But from what is being presented, she wants it to be an exclusive female lead.
