But the far left people who really like it are largely assholes too.
And when I see the phrase "false equivalency" it's usually used by a communist or fascist who's been exposed as a totalitarian.
Totalitarians usually have more basic phrases and stirring rallying cries, like "motherland/fatherland," "glory of our people," "honor our flag/founders/revolution," and "praise be to God."

I appreciate how you've brought up your failure in the same post so nobody else needs to bother telling you how your MRA supremacism comes off.
I don't see why this has become some sort of gender debate. It is pretty natural for girls to want to play girl characters, an if more games included the option they'd probably sell more games to girls.
As a child, I would often mentally switch the gender of my characters. it would help me identify with them better. I also tended to prefer games where I could play a woman, even if I didn't always choose to do so.
She wants to "save the prince". This runs contrary to most cliche'd storylines, so the dad did something to delight his daughter. Why are you confused? You answered your own question.

You could have been playing as the ape this whole time guys!
I always play as a female character when I play games like Skyrim, Fallout, Mass Effect, etc. Not sure why really. I guess I just find it more interesting (even though it really changes nothing) since 99% of video game heros are dudes, and I have to play a guy all the time in real life.
But I wanted to be BIG ape. The first thing I'd do is eat the princess (or eat the plumber if it was this gender switched version).
I also often played the female characters of games when given the option. I also played dungeons and dragons when I was a kid and almost always played female characters.
Just seemed more challenging (since I would have to role-play my opposite gender) and interesting.
But then again, they were more the hardcore nerds who never got to touch women, while I was also on the football team and going to parties, so there is that. Keep in mind this was waaaay before being a "nerd" was cool and hip.
23, I remember those days. We called Tolkein books "Girl Repellant."
I tend to lose interest quickly in games that don't have a female character option. Even first person shooters where you never see the character, I lose interest at some point. I still haven't finished Bioshock.
Yeah, you kinda summed it all up in your first sentence though.
Unfortunately, the audience video game makers DO tend to focus on are somewhat anti-woman and immature. Which is likely part of the reason for a lack of female characters.
