Reddit reviews In the Culture Society: Art, Fashion and Popular Music

Male gaze is inherently objectification. You should refer to my first post in this thread to explain that, especially the video I linked at the end of it. It's not wrong for men to be catered to - I'm a dude, why would I not want to be catered to? The problem is men, especially in games, are almost exclusively catered to. That is not equitable.

To your question of how are video games not inclusive, I once again reference their representation. If by your own logic women are indeed a large percentage of the video game audience, why are the majority of protagonists in video games primarily male, functionally 90%+ male? Is that equitable if women are indeed a vast portion of the demographic for video game players? Even if women are not dominant in a sub-genre, why is including their perspective a bad thing? Why should men only see perspectives that align with their world view, merely because they are men?

And yes, Cosmo should be more inclusive of their male audience; just because they cater to women primarily doesn't mean that they should neglect their male audience. And you wonder if there should be feminist critique of women's magazines and female centered media, when this criticism already exists. And also including non-binary women, and women of different races.

Again, inclusion is only a positive step toward making people happier. It's easy to call questions and attempt to create negatives that merit proof. But why would anyone be against equality and equal representation?
