These games have a right to exist as free speech regardless of what they portray or how the player is rewarded. Banning media or forcing them to conform to your political beliefs because you don't agree with it is nothing short of fascism.

I don't see people out there arguing to rewrite Bukowski for being sexist.

No-one is suggesting these games are banned. Free speech goes both ways, the games can be made, I can critise them.
I tripped up over this many times when I first discovered online dating profiles of girls who called themselves 'feminists'-Now I put that in quotes because it was before I became exposed to online-radical-feminists, or the extreme feminist types.

Anyway, I'd see the profiles of these 'feminists' and would list among their favorite writers 'I LOVE Bukowski'.

Every single time I'd cock my head to the side, utterly confused. I still do.

To each her own I guess...k
