I have a few links that are somewhat related to the subject-matter;

-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlvMAS_20K4 (This is more-or-less somewhat related, only to that of one of the many topics I shall discuss, I will be editing this post in the future just-in-case I missed anything)

-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dD-zQKvnl04 ( This video in-particular is crucial to what I said, I know they are all lengthy videos, so if you don't have the time; just watch/listen this one as opposed to the others.)

These links I have posted have relevance to the subject matter at-hand; and have to do with the recent and pervassive controversy due to various ideologies gaining influences on the gaming industry, despite the original intent of "Gaming" to begin with... As many of us gamers; who have been gaming for the past 5-10 years may have noticed, is that many assorted ideals are attempting to hi-jack and associate themselves with the gaming industry; due to misconceptions of content material, and overall hypersensitivity of the female gender(Please watch the videos before commenting on this).

Many of us gamers are concerned for what gaming will become over-time as a result of this; and alone... as individuals with relatively no political influences or resources to state a proper defense, are backed into a corner where the reminance of our freedoms barely exist; oh so fragile, any more stress or pressure on what we have built over the past few decades, will be annihalated by persons who have only recently enthralled themselves in this culture, claiming to have had many years of experience in gaming; when they cannot so much as provide a brief synopsis of any of the games they allegedly played for themselves.

You may have all already heard of the famous hypersensitive feminazi "Anita Sarkeesian", and her persistent attempts at arbitrarily giving gaming a whole new definition; and set her own set of criteria to appeal to the female minority of gamers.

Throughout the years, gaming has been in-particular; a male-dominated pass-time(as described in one of the videos), as such; much of the content has been marketed towards a male demographic, as of course Males make up the vast majority of gamers; these... feminist radicals believe there is a whole sub-culture dedicated to ridiculing women in-particular, when this is not at all the case. (All of these points are provided in-depth in one of the videos)

Overall, gaming has become less and less an enjoyable pass-time, and more of a set of rules & regulations someone needs to follow, tedious and non-sensical; not being necessary, as various content creators need to realize; many things are the base instinct of man, and are difficult to control as a result of that; what many developers ask of their player-base; is contrary to the reason why gamers are gamers to begin with.

Thank you very much for your time, be sure to watch the videos posted above, shadowmark2013Nocturne

Please ignore the thumbnails to the videos, they have various points; I assure you, the original impression is only misleading....
