Steven Spielberg’s film portrays video gamers at their worst

FULL STORY by Opinion: The GUARDIAN…..

QUOTE~~~

While the original book presents these responses somewhat critically and uses them to comment on the gender politics of video game culture, the movie shows them to be the natural outlook of male and female users, and also normalises the male desire for anime eyes and svelte or augmented bodies. The movie presents technologies of gaming only as a way to realise existing desires, and is not able to think critically about how video games actually transform, distort and create desire in gendered ways.
