Men are disproportionately the victims of violence in these games. Doesn't that put thoughts into young boys minds that they are expendable, and nothing but predators? No, it doesn't, because that's not how it works. I'm a fat gentle nerd, and I'm going to stay a fat gentle nerd after I'm done beating an old man to death with a pixel baseball bat.



Anecdotally, yes, women out there like those things. Statistically, the vast majority of the GTA franchise's playerbase are male, while the majority of Lifetime's viewers are female. That channel's motto was literally "Television for Women". The same goes for most of the other video game franchises out there.

I don't even like any of those man things you mentioned. Consequently, I don't send letters to the NFL or MMA asking them to accommodate my basement-dweller tastes.

My point: Stop trying to force your personal agenda/values on peoples' means of expression. Ultimately, that's the most Taliban thing you can do.
