That isn't what LW asked. You answered why it's important to have more female gamers than male, he asked why that isn't the case.
What? No I answered his question of 'Why is it important to have more female gamers than we have now' rather than having more than men. I never anywhere implied it was important to have more than men...
You do realize that if more games were made that are more approachable to women for consoles, then more women would play console games, right?
See, I state that it is possible to have more women playing games, rather that stating that I want more women playing than men. So he replies
That might be true, but why is it a desirable goal?
So he wants to know why more female gamers is a good idea. Ok, I can do that...
Well it is good for women because it is creating culture that they can relate to.
It is good for games as an art because it creates more to draw from and experience.
It is good for the gamer community because it brings in diversity.
It is good for the industry, because it brings in more revenue from new audiences.
It is good for the security of games as a medium because people who hate games out of hand can no longer try to justify their irrationality by claiming games are sexist.
Need I go on?
There, I'm pretty sure that is addressing the question of why more female gamers is beneficial.
I can only answer what is asked of me, not imaginary questions that are retconned into existence.
That does not answer the question at all.
A good gaming community where gender is not an issue where female participation is encouraged does not see anything close to an equal f:m ratio.
Why is this?
That is the question.
What? No that isn't the question at all! I just addressed what the question was, and if it wasn't 'Why do we need more female gamers than men' then it certainly wasn't 'why will there always be more males than females in an equal community'
Unless that was a new question you were asking of me, and in that case I have no clue, why would you make assertions like that then expect me to find a reason when I don't even agree?
Well it is good for women because it is creating culture that they can relate to.
This does raise the issue of why you believe men and women to be so different as to divide personal characteristics into male/female as Sarkeesian did, even so much so that someone of the same species would be incapable of relating to a portrayal of them.
It's cementing differences in a negative way.
Because equal != the same.
Men and women often enjoy a different flavor of things, we see that in the popularity of movies. What you are saying right now is 'We only need action movies because a lot of men like action movies and if there is no difference between men and women, then a lot of women should like action movies so there is no problem!'
What is wrong with diversity here and peoples right to enjoy other things? I'm not saying no man will enjoy a game with a female protagonist.
