EA including women in a video game, saying "accept it or don't buy the game", and anyone continuing on after that *is absolutely perpetuating a societal ill*. Anyone who doesn't see that, and gives even rhetorical space for pretexes like "historical accuracy" or "gameplay" or "games journalism", is perpetuating that same I'll the same way white "moderates" who argued the civil rights movement shouldnt actually do anything. I know this sounds harsh, but the *ordinary* response to a game you don't like is to just not buy it. If you don't like the gameplay or the graphics, or the voice acting, or the labor practices of the developer, or whatever, simply not paying for it and not playing is the best and primary way to signal that. I didn't suggest that this kind of bad behavior is always easily addressed. I said and will say again that when assertions of bias are not easily addressed, the ongoing bias is literally more important than anything else that could be addressed. When a Nazi sits down at your table, either kick him out or accept that you're a Nazi.
