I still hold it in my opinion that people are being picky for the sake of being picky on certain points, but yeah, I do feel slightly more enlightened after Nate's post.
That being said, I won't change my mind that people need to see the broader picture - the point about "what about men" isn't that they're being discriminated, it's that they go through the same thing in multiple cases, and the argument is less "it's bad for men" as it's "not so bad for women" in those exact cases.

I look forward to more diversity in the gaming industry with female roles being regular, but I think companies decide not to do for the reasons stated. If they try, and they screw up, it's a major issue. With a male role, if they make them a straight white male, it's easy street. That is the norm in the gaming world at the moment. Doesn't mean it's right, but a company is there to make money, indie games perhaps not so much, but they don't want to make risks. So when one does, commend them but assist, don't explode.
