Damsel in Distress loveist Trope
Name is Unavailable:
I didnt watch most of the video because it's late, but products are all about audience. Most gamers are guys, so love appeal is a huge factor. Make a game where the guy needs saving and see how well it competes with similar games.
Might watch later and give more input.

man hits woman = "WHAT AN ABUSIVE stuffHEAD HE DESERVES TO BE LOCKED AWAY"
woman is pregnant, she gets maternity leave to raise child
in the United States at least, as a father you're completely forgeted, no paternity leave, have fun not raising your child
Stay at home mom = dedicated parent
Stay at home dad = lazy motherforgeter who doesn't want to work
My point is, if people campaign for gender equality, it should mean that both genders should be equal in pretty much every manner possible. It shouldn't be to gain their particular gender more rights and power held over the other. It's like those backwards-ass stupid "affirmative action plans" that try to stop employers and colleges from discriminating against applicants/employees by forcing them to discriminate in the favor of said group.
Equality should mean I get an apple, you get an apple, we both have one apple. Not "I am a man, I get one apple, you are a woman and get two because of how you've been treated in society in the past," or vice versa. Equality means equal, not "biased in favor of a group that at one point was treated in an arguably unfair manner.

The problem is that men and women are not equal. Men are stronger, women are smarter. Women are wider from the waist and so on. If we ever want to get rid of loveism we have to wait for science to turn us into gender-less beings. Same goes for race and loveuality. People are going to be mocked for these things forever because these differences exist. If we wanted to have a world where no one was mocked for anything, we would also have to say goodbye to getting cheered or honored for something, because in that world everything is grey. No one would be capable of having any opinions, celebrities don't exist because everyone would be 100% equal and dull.
