I made a blog post earlier on why I hate video games because they appeal to the female fantasy.
Don’t believe me?
Portal 2!
So the game starts with you waking up in a relaxation vault or something. Wheatley meets you and try’s to help you escape. Already we see a problem!
Wheatley is shown that he is not the most intelligent individual. He’s also a male!
[b][i][u]This implies that men are stupid[/u][/i][/b]
Already you can see the problem.
Wheatley ask Chell, the protagonist, to say something. Instead she jumps.
Wow! The Protagonist doesn’t even acknowledge his existence!
Fast forward a bit and we see our character for the first time. And she is a strong independent individual. And a good jumper.
Later on we meet GlaDOS. A Female robot. What’s the first thing she does? She kills Wheatley, the only male character we’ve met so far.
wHAt a SUprISE!
A while later and Wheatley try’s to save us again. After a successful rescue we need to shut down GlaDOS’ turrets. And here we see the saddest thing in the game.
Two types of turrets. Good turrets and crap turrets.
Good turrets
-Female voice
-are not blind
-built correctly
-White plating
Crap turrets
-Male voice
-Blind
-built incorrectly
-don’t even have white plating, just a [b][i][u]Black[/u][/i][/b] frame.
The perfect female white turrets are loved
While the imperfect male black turrets are thrown in the incinerator.
However we can stop this by reversing it. Now the white ones are trash and black ones good.
Take that liberals!
So now we meet GlaDOS and take her down. Putting Wheatley in charge of the facility.
GlaDOS reveals that Wheatley was created to be stupid.
This implies that men are born stupid.
Out of anger and rage Wheatley throws you to the bottom of the facility. Down there another character is introduced. Cave Johnson! But he’s dead.
After returning to the upper levels of the facility GlaDOS says we must stop Wheatley from destroying everything.
This implies that men can’t run a business. Also we need to stop with the male antagonist ideology. This ideology demonizes men.
Through out the boss fight I felt sorry for Wheatley. Here we have a man trying to run a facility while he’s being harassed by two women. One of which is a potato or PotatOS.
The game ends with the two female living normal lives and the male lost in space forever.
So we have racists turrets and sexist robots.
It’s time to stop!
[spoiler]as you already should know, this is a joke. But seriously this I what put up with every time I come in contact with a gaming journalist.[/spoiler]
:D

It’s all a metaphor for men not being able to count to 3.
