Video games are made by males for males, of cause they will appeal to male interests. Feminists, instead of making their own games which appeal to female interests to create a "safe space", want to force change through an authority, namely the state and media complex shaming companies for blasphemy against progressive values, causing stocks to drop in value. The people complaining are a miniscule minority and for the most part not even interested in video games in the first place. They don't represent the video game consumer market but want to instate dogmas affecting all of it. Looking at the effects the PC inquisition has on other markets, the passionate hobbyists simply revolted against this literal invasion.
Would anyone call for censorship if a feminist developer team made a "female power fantasy" game? No, because sane individuals ignore things they don't like as long as they aren't forced upon them, while insane individuals actively seek reasons to feel miserable and/or victimized.

The people complaining about wimmins in video games are a miniscule minority who always buy the games anyways. "This three-hour video will explain in detail why Kablooper 4: The Kabloopening has been RUINED by SJWs which I discovered after 500 hours of gaming." Their scapegoats were primarily small, indie developers who don't matter anyways – classic reaction to having their bubble disturbed. Meanwhile, game companies are more rapacious at ever at squeezing more profits from DLCs.
The game companies realized years ago that it does not matter what they say; much better to expand the market and commodify more and more aspects of individual games themselves beyond the initial sticker price.
And it really is classic reaction because it must find a scapegoat from the "outside" (an "invasion") to avoid thinking about the underlying capitalist incentives driving these social and cultural changes and so on. There's a half-assed argument that this is hurting game companies, but why are you telling us this? We don't give a shit. Tell it to the CEO. The game studios are capitalist corporations, it's in their interest to:
Tell me the difference between including a minority and/or female character and "forced diversity."

The problem isn't forced diversity, it's shitty developers and writers that happen to think a diverse cast will help their shitty game, and sadly it does, it pumps up reviews, which i guess does make it kind of a problem since shitty games get great reviews just because they have diversity.
Not agreeing with OP here, he's obviously baiting, just my take on the SJW debate.
