    I always love when people bring up Bayonetta in a discussion about sexism in games. She was designed, and had a lot of the ideas for animations, by a woman! How can that be misogynistic? Like seriously. Sure, that one boss scene where it seems like she was raped is a bit OTT but I don't think there are many games that don't have one moment in it where you go "mmmm, probably a bit much".

    Anyway, I just came on here (a little late I know) to say that the 25 privileges males have in video-gaming is such a pile of BS I honestly feel like I'm drowning in sh1t. Mr. Repizon does a very good response to it and basically points out that nearly all the points have nothing to do with gender. Video below

    A woman can be as sexist as a man, as can be seen by Bayonetta's interactions with Cheshire.

    Well then, we have to ask... how do YOU know that Links? :D

    Knowledge and hard graft!

    All those years of playing 8 bit platformers has to count for something.
