@JessTheUnstill But you didn't say "I prefer to play games where I can play as a girl." Had you said that, I probably wouldn't have replied, because it's wholly unoffensive to the point of being banal.

Instead, you mentioned a well-renowned *test* (which is how we check compliance with things like laws and obligations), and a variation of it for a specific industry. In this case, it's an obligation for the video game industry to provide more diverse perspectives, which is an important obligation.

My criticism is simply: the new criteria you mentioned is a poor translation of the original test. I don't think it adequately covers the breadth and intent of the original Bechdel test. Even the Bechdel test itself doesn't require the protagonist to be a woman.
