Growing up in the 80’s and 90’s, gaming wasn’t sort of high fidelity enough to worry about the culture war, but I do think it’s somewhat weird the gamergate folks have like co-opted the gate keeping of games in the wrong ways. Gaming should be fun full stop and this idea that like games need to feature attractive women to pander to men.
When I was a kid sexuality was basically absent from games except when it was satirical - i.e. Leisure Suit Larry.
