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’.”

Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about???

I have never seen anyone, in my life, refuse to recognize the Final Fantasy series as games. These sound like niche arguments on dumbass subreddits or something. It's also stupid to say that because a plot is lighter in tone it's more attractive to teenage girls. Teenage girls are the ones watching shit like Pretty Little Liars, Riverdale, and various true crime docuseries, and writing dark!AUs of shit like Undertale where Flowey rapes Toriel at gunpoint. Completely misunderstanding the demographic you are whiteknighting for, very cool.

I also don't understand why people are still going off about "misogynistic" gamers in the year of our Lord 2022. I remember playing games at the time where misogyny in gaming was supposedly at its worst and you know what it was? 14 year old boys telling me to go make them a sandwich while feeling very self important. You know how I handled that? Another canned response about how I fucked their mom last night. Honest to god it was a non-problem.

Because they're willingly enslaved to an ideology where everyone is a stereotype, and the gamers' stereotype is that of misogynistic, unkempt, and fat neckbeards. To cast aside that stereotype would be to call into question all of the others that they cling to, and further cast doubt on the ideology itself.

you have to remember these people take anonymous tumblr posts as gospel truth. some 13 y/o called FF "mid" once and now they have to pour 2k words into TvTropes because there just isn't enough talking about anime on that website.

I used to have fun trolling people back in the day that they needed to throw out their FFVII cartridges if they were a true patriot. Any game where you play as a terrorist is Unamerican, and those game devs should be ashamed to call themselves such.

Because the most famous time when they went off about gamers being misogynists, people agreed and cried, gave them sweet sweet victim points, and gave them everything they wanted- so they know that shit works and will keep beating that dead horse until people finally catch on they're milking it for attention and tune them out.

Next question?

I think I heard something about someone making us a sandwich.

I could go a sandwich, yeah. Pickles, ham, turkey, some swiss and cheddar, green olives, and sourdough.

Mmmmm.
