The title of that article is a bit misleading since it all seems to be about maybe giving games that pass the Bechdel test some kind of certificate or rating. It's not about rating films that don't pass the test as sexist.

Honestly I don't see anything problematic with this since in order to pass the Bechdel test a game only needs to have at least two female characters in it who talk to each other and about something other than a man. Some Swedish cinemas also decided to do the same on their own volition last year, so it's not really a new idea.

And I would like to note that I think SwedishCheese complaining about the new government because of this seems a bit silly, I don't really think the directives given to Vinnova are as specific as "support gender equality ratings in video games". Wink
