This is just stereotyping honestly. Plenty of women play online games of various genres. I find it funny how you claim that you're some kind of SJW but then engage in this blatant stereotyping of women.
I've never identified by that horrible term nor do I intend to. Being for social justice =/= SJW.

But you're right, that was stereotyping on my part, apologies, thank you for calling me out.
My bad. I thought you identified with that.

But yeah, I disagree with that kind of pigeon holing. My experience with online games is that there is an increasing number of women playing them and this is probably true across the board.

If a game sucks, it sucks. It could have the most amazing story ever, but if it's not fun to play, it sucks. If a game is fun but has a shitty story or music, it might still be good because it's fun to play. I've played plenty of games with unimpressive OSTs or lame/nonexistent stories that were still decent enough games. A lot of platformers are like that honestly.
This ignores the idea of video games just having the potential to be another storytelling medium like books, TV shows, movies, etc., which is exactly what they have the potential to be. And there's clearly a market for games to take such an approach, as seen by Bioware offering a mode that makes the gameplay parts easy to allow the player to focus on the story.

Now of course certain game genres DO rely on gameplay- platformers and action games included. But I think games that rely more on story than gameplay can get away with poor gameplay- RPGs, adventure games, etc.

it's a push and pull and down to what the player is willing to put up with. I put up with Bioshock Infinite's less than stellar gameplay (in my opinion, many people liked it. Fair enough.) because it looked super pretty (and Elizabeth had beautiful rack). Had the game not looked the way it did...I wouldn't have bothered to pay the game, much less finish it (which I did).

Nope. I once said it tongue-in-cheek because I was getting frustrated with people but I still think it's a dirty buzzword. Around a year, year and a half ago, I used to use it to describe others back when I thought it only meant extremists but so many people have called me one for my espoused views (simply being supportive of trans people for instance) that I started questioning the term and eventually stopped using it.

Yeah, there is definitely an increase in female players across the board, or at least women who are open about being women or playing games.

I have a very low opinion on completely story-driven games, complete visual-novels or "interactive movie experiences" like Heavy Rain, personally. I'm not saying that story, music, etc. are entirely unimportant, but to me they are always second to how fun a game is. I would rate a game that I liked playing more (better gameplay from my perspective) higher than a game with a better story 10 times out of 10.

Always a case by case basis for me. I tend to latch on to different things with different games. I'm not very consistent...

Well then I guess it comes down to personal opinion then. :P

I guess from the perspective of if it's a good "game" then such games aren't good "games", as there's no/little gameplay, but can still be excellent pieces of media.

Yes, and I don't consider adventure games to be complete visual novels. I feel like adventure games have some gameplay to them and can be ok.

Today reminded me of why I don't like taking naps, at least not unplanned naps. I end up feeling really paranoid.

I hate taking naps at night when I lightly sleep because I see weird stuff or hear weird noises.
