Thanks #XboxOne #E3 press conference for revealing to us exactly zero games featuring a female protagonist for the next generation.
— Feminist Frequency (@femfreq)
Above is a tweet I made this afternoon in reaction to the fact that none of the games presented at Microsoft’s Xbox One E3 press conference featured female protagonists. Below are some of the Twitter replies to that observation which exemplify the male privilege and male entitlement endemic in the gaming community today. This is also a window into what it’s like to be a female video game critic on twitter.

WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST READ
Each and every time I read comments like the ones above, I am floored. Even though I know that there are people out there who operate this way, I am continuously baffled by how they don’t spontaneously combust or some shit.

Why the fuck is the first Google Image suggestion for Ms. Marvel “Ms Marvel Tied up”? Like what the hell? Is that really what people look up when they Google her? AND, if you click that, you get the suggestions: “Ms Marvel Captured,” “Ms Marvel Defeated,” “Ms Marvel Beaten,” and “Ms Marvel Ass.”
Please excuse me while I set my laptop on fire.
