FAKECLAIMTv Tropes claims Final Fantasy is “one of the few mainstream game franchises from the 90s and 00s that was interested in acknowledging its female fans” and claims that the “misogynist parts of gamer culture don’t consider it ‘real games’.”

I've never played Final Fantasy so most of this is going over my head. But I get the feeling that even if I had played it, it would still go over my head. Like fandom rivalries over how cool a character is? Seriously? How could any sane person give a flying fuck about any of this? It's a fucking video game. And what in the fuck does this have to do with TV tropes?

To be fair, TV Tropes also documents tropes in movies, books and videogames, the same way Tumblr in Action also talks about Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

No one worth giving a shit about in real life cares about whether or not you like the exact same games as them. You occaisionally find these people offline but they get ridiculed pretty fast.

I don't really like a bunch of the FF games but damn some people just act like you killed their puppy if you say FFVII kinda sucked. But I mean they're stupid for not knowing FFV is the best anyway because of our boys Butz Haram fantasy and the fact that he gets to kill a tree. Like God those dumb girls don't realize that the game is about some dude riding his ostrich around not giving a fuck who gets all the bitches. And they say it's for women. Hah.

Well, it makes sense they claim it since FF 15 really was one of the mask off moments, with people going "how DARE any woman character run around in something less than a burqa, any man who shows the slightest attraction to one raped the character!" and "Look at the FF15 heroes' bulges! We need some kneepads to play this game, girls!" in the same breath.
