I wouldn’t be so sure about the rest of that demographic information. Baldur’s Gate 3 has broad appeal, for better or worse, and misogyny manifests from a lot of different factors. If not an over-generalization, it sounds like some personal baggage.

I mean, I doubt we’ll ever know the exact person’s specifics, but to answer your last comment: In a way, yes. I was friends with many of these people. I’ve been a computer ‘nerd’ since, well, the 80’s, and my fellow computer nerds. While definitely misogyny manifests from different factors, having spent a lot of time with people who have created/liked said content, my personal baggage here would lead me to believe that my guess is pretty dead on. Again, we’ll never know, but very similar things have been done, by people I knew who fit said descriptions.

** “Whoa hot chicks kissing” really didn’t bother to degrade women so much as not even acknowledge them**; it was purely meant for male viewership (which were the predominant demographic for comedies, video games, etc.

I feel like I should post the ‘it’s the same picture’ meme here. What if (straight, white, cis) men are the predominant demographic… because it objectifies women? I know women who ‘weren’t gamers’ specifically because of how women were treated (or, as you alluded to earlier, ignored). Once things started to shift, they felt able to be included in gaming.

I think this may be a life imitates art imitates life situation.
