Why is there no mens events? why are men fighting women in Boxing and Judo? wtf

[consolepcgaming]

Now gaming is going to far, I mean this is not very realistic when you have men competing against women in athletics and fighting events! There is no way women could compete against men, I mean Judo, running, boxing! This is stupid, Kids may go out thinking they can fight women as its displayed in a video game. The world is going mad! FFS stop giving into the WOKE warriors, Gaming is becoming silly just to please the woke crowd

I think the same.

It completely takes away the realism of the event. Even though it's a very arcade-like game, the Olympics has men's and women's competitions.

This is a party game rather than a simulation game. As a result, it doesn’t make sense to segregate events based on player gender as this would overcomplicate the queuing logic. The game also lacks other distinguishing factors present in real life Olympics like weight classes for combat sports.

Given all of the above, there’s nothing inherently wrong with the game’s matchmaking design. Rather than focusing on biological considerations like weight, your performance as a player comes down to your skill as a player. It’s all clean harmless fun 😄

it shouldnt be called tokyo Olympics as that implies its based on the real Olympics. Should have called it "party Olympics with a warning saying this is not real!" as if kids play it, the boys may think its ok to go around fighting girls! What a dumb age we live in

This is a game where you can swim a 200 metre medley in a suit of armour, go rock climbing dressed as a mascot, and ride BMX without safety gear. The game is quite upfront about this in all its marketing materials. There isn’t anything controversial here besides manufactured outrage over a non-issue.

With all that said, it’s reasonable to want a more realistic sports gaming experience. If that’s the case then you’ll have better luck with games like Undisputed, FIFA, or EA Sports PGA Tour.

Shouldnt be called "Olympic Games Tokyo 2020" then as its not ! Perhaps they should have called it the Woke Sports Games! Kids are impressionable and boys may think its ok to fight girls at judo or boxing. Real life is that girls and boys dont fight each other in boxing, judo or most sports where fighting is involved! So the game shouldnt be called olympics as that DOESNT happen in the olympics! Its Common Sense really ! Movies are just as bad these days showing 5ft women beating up a 6ft muscle man character...its ridiculous and pathetic

This is the official game from Olympics to back the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, hence the name. There is no claim made anywhere in the marketing materials of this being a sports simulation game. You can play tennis in an astronaut outfit or play judo in a wizard robe if you’d like. I don’t see why mixed gender matchmaking is such an issue when there is no enforcement with respect to sports gear or weight classes. It really feels like this whole thread is just a means to manufacture some moral outrage out of thin air.

Again, it’s perfectly alright to want a more realistic game! If the arcade genre is not for you, there are many simulation games available that can satisfy your needs. As for me and the rest of the Tokyo 2020 community, I can attest to this game offering a fun, fast-paced party gaming experience 😄

If you wish to play this game sometime, add me as a friend. I can help show you the ropes.

you all are missing the point. it is not about realism. men and women should not play sports together. there should be a option for men to fight only men. they are trying to push a political statement which does not belong in games. I want sonic and Mario pc!

I’m not sure what’s exactly political about having men and women play sports together or why it’s such a contentious topic here, especially when there are so many other unrealistic elements to this game. While I agree that the single player mode is woefully inadequate with respect to NPC customization, I can’t see arbitrary limitations like player gender working out in online mode given the tiny lobby size.

With all that said, if you ever want to play with me Sword of Asle, please add me as a friend! It’s always good to meet more Olympics players 😄

If you want to play a 2D retro styled game that has male and female events in it (male 100 m, javelin, pole vault, basketball shooting and female BMX, skeet shooting and cycling), then I suggest you try Medal winners 24.
