I do think you make valid points yet I would hesitate to say all men benefit from the patriarchy as I personally know individuals who have had it about as bad as it gets, from having a single mother to low income and bad education and being forced to be a breadwinner for the family just to survive. Is this the norm, no but patriarchy is also not the end all be all, and pretending it is would be a disservice to those who are in the worst situations. Its no wonder the voter demographics for right wing young men were overwhelmingly of the lower income and uneducated sector. (Again this would be valid for women as well, but pretending someone's problems don't exist is sure to win their support...)

You hit the nail on the head for concord and I absolutely agree about the agenda, however the industry is not clean with sbi and other degenerate problems that lead to identity politics and such being dragged in. So they cannot be dismissed as just companies being bad, there are definitely individuals who misguidedly defend and propogate this due to feeling they owe the game for including diverse themes. The solution to this I don't know, but attacking critics of it hardly helps those who have watched franchises from their memories die a painful death. As a show of faith I would say a game that does diversity well is Metaphor Refantazio. They don't make their characters unlikeable to fit a narrative but they heavily talk about discrimination and heavy topics without it feeling forced. So maybe figure out how they managed it and try and replicate it?

I do appreciate your quote by Engels, I've never heard of it but its a very interesting factiod, so thanks :) and you're right. I'm preaching to the bar, but I was pretty surprised at how one-sided it was, about as bad as twitter sometimes. So yeah, I just wanted to provide a different perspective.
