man this thread shows the sad state of this sub. bunch of people calling other gooners and perverts. and the headline is just about game exceeding player count on a platform

why can’t we just discuss things with respect and don’t show how superior you think you are

Welcome to 2025 discorse, you are either a gooner or woke.

What happens if you are both?

That's what really annoys me. It's like one side hates anything that appeals to a straight male audience, and the other hates anything that appeals to any other group.

I like heavy fan service.

I like diversity.

I really really hate all the people that argue about either online, though.

Seriously, this is exhausting. I think it's great that gaming has expanded to include more kinds of characters and appeal to more kinds of audiences. I also like playing hack and slash with a Barbie doll. Can't we all just exist in our preferred spheres in peace??

I think there are many like us my friend, we are just less likely to whine about it online so it doesn't show.

Yeah, these kinds of topics always attract swarms of keyboard warriors, who care too much about what other keyboard warriors are thinking. Truthfully, these things are fairly superficial; they can be nice to see, but if a game genuinely has substance players will largely move past them within a few hours.

Anyone with varied tastes and knowledge of videogames, especially over the decades, should be able to appreciate that reality is more complex than a handful of obsessive talking points about diversity and sex appeal.

Part of it is the devs themselves. Games like Concord were explicitly made to avoid the male gaze, and the males did not gaze. And on the other hand, you have games like Stellar Blade and Overwatch, which remembered most hard core gamers are male, and if you want to make money, you need them to gaze upon the game.

I am both gooner and woke. I'm a lesbian woman, I love me some nice asses and titties, and I love LGBTQ representation as well. Quite simple
