is this?

ResetEra makes the same mistake that publishers and developers often do. They don't understand why women like their games.

Popular videogame characters among women are not those that you might expect. Lara Croft is on the list sure, but so are Ezio Auditore (Assassins Creed 2), Link, Geralt of Rivia and others. If you look at the core franchises that soared in popularity among women (such as Zelda, Fire Emblem (especially Three Houses), 'Souls' games (especially Elden Ring), Xenoblade, Assassins Creed, Hogwarts Legacy, Final Fantasy 14/15 etc.) you can see clear trends of what they like. 

Those include things like engaging stories, character building, relationships, medieval/fantasy settings, customization, magic(or magic like abilities), mysteries and discovery. They also don't mind grinding as much, which is why they enjoy farming simulators. The gamer girl YouTubers usually rate things by comparing them to other things and they say something like: "Final Fantasy II is about as grindy as Story of Seasons 4 but not as bad as Atelier Sophie". And I'm sitting there like, jesus how bad must the grind be in those games they play. In the early days of Elden Ring, they also had these videos up that went like: "I grinded 20 levels between lunch and dinner for two days to beat the first boss and from that point on the game became very enjoyable Smile ".

There's also stuff that they in general dislike: guns, gritty realism, highly technical games, sci-fi(unless its more 'space opera' like Mass Effect or lore heavy) which is why I think the sci-fi horror game resurgence we had at last years Summer Games Fest went nowhere and despite their various attempts Battlefield was not able to diversify its player base.

Weirdly claiming that certain genres are more or less popular with women seems to be a big no no on circles like RE. Like when Nintendo had that Mother's day sale and they flipped their shit because it was a bunch of games that are presumed to be more popular with women

I like the posts saying "well clearly they have internal data which would indicate which games women like," which is so irrefutably logical that these people managed not to get banned for downplaying, but they're still drowned out by all the shouting around them

Appreciate the support and kind words. For me the discussions around Gwen really highlight cisnormativity and the assumption that every character must be straight or cisgender to begin with, therefore there is a bar (and a particularly high one for trans people) that must be cleared before they are allowed to be seen as trans. Whereas if you start without that assumption and from completely neutral ground the flags alone are enough to suggest a trans identity.

Which is why it can be tiring when people position their stance as discussing why she's not trans because that's not what they're doing. They're not putting forward evidence to suggest that she is cis, they're pushing back on the evidence that she isn't as being 'not enough'. This gets particularly frustrating when people suggest she's "just an ally" because they offer no reasoning as to why it makes more sense that she's an ally than she's trans. More often than not it comes from the perspective that she can't be trans so there has to be another reason for why she hangs a trans flag on her wall. Few will admit that, but it is the basis.

None of that comes across as Gwen being trans to me. Her dad thought she was a vigilante that murdered Peter which seemed like he was basically his son. That would be a hard thing for any parental/father figure to accept. The dialogue seems was something that all Spider people deal with and have to come to terms with because they are hiding parts of themselves from the people they care about. That's part of why Miles struggles to tell his parents he's Spider-Man. And the visual design is Spider Gwen's aestheitc from the comics. Pink, white, and blue/teal are the colors associated with Spider-Gwen.

And like I said I'm not against Gwen being trans but I also don't think they were trying to imply that she is either.

Get the fuck out of here with this gatekeeping nonsense. The colours literally saturate to just the trans tricolour when Gwen talks to her Dad. You don't have to notice it to be a thing.

In fact, I'm going to scream facts at you, trans women don't want to be visually different to cis women!
Her gushing doesn't make her trans, she can feel that exact way because she's an ally is glad someone else gets it. And no one is gatekeeping anything. Those colors (Blue, Pink, and White) are commonly associated with Gwen so of course she will be saturated with them. It's literally a stylistic signature of Spider-Gwen. They're literally the colors of her suit.

It is a touchy subject for sure, but if it's a discussion everyone should be able to address how they interpret & see things respectfully. How is it okay that people can see Gwen as 100% trans based off what they were presented with and voice that openly and confidently but me stating that I see those exact same things as something completely different somehow a problem. We're all speculating about unconfirmed things in a thread about the movie.

I have nothing against Gwen being trans, but I should also be allowed to discuss why I think she's not just like they should be able to discuss why they think she is. Me wanting to share that should not result in people acting like I'm transphobic or anti-trans, or trying to take away from how they feel, or that im going for their joy when im not. I also shouldn't have to shut up because they feel strongly about their interpretation and me sharing what I feel doesn't align with theirs.

You're also not discussing why you think she's not, as much as disagreeing with why we think she is. You haven't offered anything up other than dismissals of what we've put forward. Well, aside from the "Peter is trans" thing which has like no actual thought put into it.

Meanwhile we have:
  • Gwen has a large trans flag on her bedroom wall with 'protect trans kids' written on it
  • The artists drew a trans flag on her fathers jacket and made his commendations the trans colours, tying both him and his daughter to the concept of trans pride
  • When she details how she's had to live hiding half of who she is from everyone the colours in the scene immediately snap to blue (not teal), white and pink, including banding on her hair
  • Her relationship with her father can easily be interpreted as an allegory to the trans experience of having a parent discover your identity and reject you, forcing you to find community and safety with others like you
  • She gushes when Jessica Drew uses sex instead of gender to refer to her unborn child ("we don't know the sex yet")
  • She played with the same toys Miles did as a kid
  • Hobie questions whether she's wearing his shoes, which mirrors Miles asking Ganke if he's wearing his Jordans earlier in the film (to which he responds "it's not my fault we're the same size").

So like, where's the evidence she's cisgender in Spider-Verse again?

  • Her relationship with her father can easily be interpreted as an allegory to the trans experience of having a parent discover your identity and reject you, forcing you to find community and safety with others like you
  • She gushes when Jessica Drew uses sex instead of gender to refer to her unborn child ("we don't know the sex yet")
  • She played with the same toys Miles did as a kid
  • Hobie questions whether she's wearing his shoes, which mirrors Miles asking Ganke if he's wearing his Jordans earlier in the film (to which he responds "it's not my fault we're the same size").

So like, where's the evidence she's cisgender in Spider-Verse again?

SCIENCE!

And here I thought all the "transvestigators" were right-wingers. She's trans because of her shoe size  Dead

Clearly those two men were transphobes wanting to ruin the viewing for everyone

It reeks of "you can't have Gwen, but you can have the boy who turns themself into a murderous monster and is in the film for less than 15 seconds."
None of that comes across as Gwen being trans to me. Her dad thought she was a vigilante that murdered Peter which seemed like he was basically his son. That would be a hard thing for any parental/father figure to accept. The dialogue seems was something that all Spider people deal with and have to come to terms with because they are hiding parts of themselves from the people they care about. That's part of why Miles struggles to tell his parents he's Spider-Man. And the visual design is Spider Gwen's aestheitc from the comics. Pink, white, and blue/teal are the colors associated with Spider-Gwen.

And like I said I'm not against Gwen being trans but I also don't think they were trying to imply that she is either.

Get the fuck out of here with this gatekeeping nonsense. The colours literally saturate to just the trans tricolour when Gwen talks to her Dad. You don't have to notice it to be a thing.

In fact, I'm going to scream facts at you, trans women don't want to be visually different to cis women!
Her gushing doesn't make her trans, she can feel that exact way because she's an ally is glad someone else gets it. And no one is gatekeeping anything. Those colors (Blue, Pink, and White) are commonly associated with Gwen so of course she will be saturated with them. It's literally a stylistic signature of Spider-Gwen. They're literally the colors of her suit.

Trans people see imagery and connect and you want to clamp down.

Think about that. Even just for 15 seconds, think.

Because fuck egg.
Ahh yes, fuck me because I interpreted a movie differently than you and still have no issue with Gwen being trans lol.

However, fuck you for reading this thread, seeing a bunch of trans joy (which nowadays I can tell you is pretty fucking rare) and deciding that your contrarian bullshit is either wanted or important. You're not even in the same league as the girls here in terms of actually bringing receipts for your theories, so your insistence that your take should be taken equally as seriously comes off pretty bad.
Not trying to take the joy away from anyone, because again I'm all for Gwen being trans but i dont think thats what they were going for. I can feel differently, voice how i see things differently and still be supportive of that same idea. That shouldn't take the joy away from anyone because it's all speculation at the end of the day and again, I'm not against a trans gwen. Yall quick to throw fuck you around and act like I have a problem with something when I don't.

It is a touchy subject for sure, but if it's a discussion everyone should be able to address how they interpret & see things respectfully. How is it okay that people can see Gwen as 100% trans based off what they were presented with and voice that openly and confidently but me stating that I see those exact same things as something completely different somehow a problem. We're all speculating about unconfirmed things in a thread about the movie.

I have nothing against Gwen being trans, but I should also be allowed to discuss why I think she's not just like they should be able to discuss why they think she is. Me wanting to share that should not result in people acting like I'm transphobic or anti-trans, or trying to take away from how they feel, or that im going for their joy when im not. I also shouldn't have to shut up because they feel strongly about their interpretation and me sharing what I feel doesn't align with theirs.

Kyuuji wrote:Not going for our joy but directly replied to a trans person excited that Gwen was trans with "no lol". Then came back later in the thread at a point when we were literally like "we barely get anything, just give us this" just to reassert that you see no reason to think she's trans.

You're also not discussing why you think she's not, as much as disagreeing with why we think she is. You haven't offered anything up other than dismissals of what we've put forward. Well, aside from the "Peter is trans" thing which has like no actual thought put into it.

Meanwhile we have:
  • Gwen has a large trans flag on her bedroom wall with 'protect trans kids' written on it
  • The artists drew a trans flag on her fathers jacket and made his commendations the trans colours, tying both him and his daughter to the concept of trans pride
  • When she details how she's had to live hiding half of who she is from everyone the colours in the scene immediately snap to blue (not teal), white and pink, including banding on her hair
  • Her relationship with her father can easily be interpreted as an allegory to the trans experience of having a parent discover your identity and reject you, forcing you to find community and safety with others like you

  • Hobie questions whether she's wearing his shoes, which mirrors Miles asking Ganke if he's wearing his Jordans earlier in the film (to which he responds "it's not my fault we're the same size").

These fucking weirdos think everyone's trans, unless stated otherwise. GAMERGATE!
