I thought the same thing, how this game is basically "the woman experience: the game", constantly on defense from various gazes.
But it ain't better for dudes when in that tense situation. What difference are hands gonna make when the opponent got a gun or jump you. The entire grip of this terror is you don't know what the person outside can do.
Fear is fear, trauma is trauma. Dudes ain't indestructible to paranoia, poor mental health, pain or a bullet. Women got nails, teeth, screams, fists, kicks, they not as strong but they ain't helpless. fym.
Teach a little girl how to grapple & how to box, if a woman learns how to do those. She straight for life.
The only difference between men & women in this scenario is women get sympathy. You wanna talk about reality? That's the real tragedy. If it's a dude stalked, no one would care. Women can be vulnerable & expect society to be receptive to their trauma, turn it into a cause, an ad, a movie, a video game, an organization vs indifference. And even if it's not an expectation, that's a more likely reaction than dismissal or mockery.
And the sad part is, that happens to women too, dismissal. So imagine what a guy gets: a ready bosom for his tears because he got followed home? Likely.
That's the main difference here, the fucks to give post-event.
But to circle back to women, this game captures that constant defense mechanism when just going anywhere, just being a woman makes a different kind of target to someone mook son acting a menace for no reason. The game captures that perfectly.
Like "can i just exist as a human being without being on the market as a pottential conquest, like what tf's wrong with you people lmfao"
