My opinion on the subject... as long as they don't begin to ban thing, I don't care much, through I would like to see how they define the whole "promote gender equality" before I decide whether this are our neighbours being idiots again or whether this is a good idea.

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.

Yes of course using the Bechdel test in general is moronic (the test is a f**king joke from a webcomic) and using it on individual movies is even worse. The Swedes are truly from a planet far far away in some galaxy whose name are made up of a random mix of letters and numbers.
