I'll write about art and censorship later, when I have more time. Art is censored when it goes too far over social acceptability. The exact limits vary in different cultures.
You haven't given me anything that'd make me think you aren't the one who got it wrong.
People think differently. People care about different things. People play games in different ways. Different demographical groups have different trends. They are not absolute, but differences exist.
I think women are somewhat more commonly are interested in story, in cute characters, in cooperation over being the best, and are less interested in high difficulty and skill, and so on, based on the gender stereotypes. I know many women who are exceptions to this trend personally.
Are those the sorts of differences you were thinking others were thinking?
It's not unique, but it's not common. Pointing it out is the thing, really, especially with Polygon changing its policy in response. Despite Gamergate's 'best' efforts, ethics in game journalism is topical.Phoenixwarrior141 wrote: Alright, this happened with thousands of other games. Why is this special?
I'm not convinced you're not taking sides, and what you keep saying isn't what it is. You are either wrong, or I and lots of other people and all sorts of sources are wrong.It wasn't intended to. I don't hold a specific side over the issue and I instead argue how it actually is.

What do you think people think about those differences?
Whether you're gay, straight, male or female you'll play the game very similarly. There isn't as much difference between male gamers and female gamers as people think.

I honestly couldn't tell. It didn't feel that different from other statements from you I've read. :/That was a fucking joke.
