The issue is that everything about consoles is expensive. I'm not a hardcore gamer or whatever so I'm not gonna spend a few hundred euros for a console only to then have to buy every game I want to play. Like, yeah, maybe I will be slightly limited in terms of what games I can play in my computer compared to consoles, but it's a worthwhile tradeoff for not having to pay. This is why I don't think consoles are as accessible. It's like, PC is good for people who want to spend either 0 or thousands of dollars and consoles are for people who want to spend hundreds of dollars.

It's not that there weren't any women playing videogames, but there definitely weren't as many before because they were heavily marketed to boys. But in recent years there's definitely been a lot more women.
PC gaming is the People's gaming because it doesn't require purchasing anything you wouldn't need to have anyways and you can pirate shit very easily, change my mind.
(Of course this doesn't apply if you've spent 10k on a dedicated gaming rig, or if you own any of these cringey mice with a billion buttons and flashing lights lol)
That meme is not even true any more, they're permanently stuck in 2015 gamer culture. It's just obvious they don't know any women, most of the ones I regularly talk to play many of the games they consider "real", they're just not into gamer culture because 1) most people aren't anyways and 2) because these communities are toxic af for women. Same reason women prefer single player games or at least never reveal they are women, the moment someone figures out you're a woman in an online game you get 50 dumbasses awoogaing on you.
Stupidpol was supposed to be a leftist sub that's against idpol but I've seen lots of very genuine chuds, Trump supporters etc post there.
Wouldn't call it early.
Ugh. Then I understand why you might feel that way, there is a lot of progress in the show. First of all, they more or less drop the episodic format, after the first season the next seasons have much more of a linear progression. And yes, there is 6 seasons. They realised after the first season that some people were taking it as an excuse for Bojack being a jerk, and they incorporated that as a rather central theme. Especially in the later seasons. At some point one of the seasons (I don't remember which one) is kind of like a deconstruction of previous seasons in a sense.
By the way, I didn't like the first half of the first season and I stopped watching it until someone convinced me to start watching it again, and it just gets so much better.
He never did grow up or become mature tho. Just some progress here and there, but there were still lingering issues that had to be resolved.
People hate on it because the animation crew struggled to get union wages
But they did manage to unionize before the final season was released and this was presented as a plus in the sub.
Particularly that discourse that paints mental illness as some sort of insurmountable block in the road that gives some people the right to act like jerks.
That was a major theme that particularly in the last two seasons argued against.
The weirdest thing is that there is like 0 reason to do the weird math analogy. It adds nothing. It would be like saying "this is like a butane molecule, because it is made up of many smaller parts". Completely unnecessary. All this says is "sins are equally bad so if you have more it is worse".
This shows with some fluctuations that after 2010 there was a marked increase: https://www.statista.com/statistics/232383/gender-split-of-us-computer-and-video-gamers/#:~:text=The%20statistic%20shows%20the%20gender,increase%20over%20the%20previous%20year.&text=The%20global%20gaming%20industry%20has,fast%20pace%20in%20recent%20years.
Of course the issue with this statistic is that it seems to only take into account the people who have played some video game, whereas some other statistics seem to imply there is a much more significant gap in people who identify as gamers, which is shrinking too. But yeah, the divide before 2010 was greater in general, not that it was as big a deal as they pretend anyways.
