I hate the fact that if a male who hypothetically plays a few hours of CoD can be easily called a gamer by the wider community but I if were to say that I was a level 34 on Skyrim I would immediately be called a fake geek girl, a casual gamer and a liar. I hate the fact that, even though 45% of gaming consumers are female, developers and publishers still believe that there is not a large enough demographic for female protagonists. I hate the fact that most women in video games are no more than sexulised objects in skimpy clothing. I hate the fact that I cannot enjoy a game without being labeled and branded because of the fact that I posses a vagina and not a penis. ~sorry about the long post clogging up your dash. I needed to vent~ Off-topic somewhat, but important. but seriously 45% of the demographic are girls and they’re not willing to acknowledge that?

See the thing about being an evil villain is that instead of letting your inner demons fester and weaken you, you can control them and ride your majestic, winged beasts of terror into battle against your enemies
