Male Gaze
The Male Gaze is feminist propaganda which dictates that the world is created through the patriarchal lens of the straight male. This basically means the disgusting shitlord male scum is catered to in the media with gratuitous ass and titty shots and progressives really don't like like it.
Mostly used by "Progressive" gaming "journalists" and also crybaby critics who professionally record and splice themselves bitching into video gaming content they stole YouTube footage of, and post it back up on YouTube.
History
Coined by some lesbian feminist film critic (Literally her job title) named Laura Mulvey in the 70's, to explain why she would clutch her pearls about movies showing too much skin, because of morality and totally not her own insecurity. The term started catching on with other women who were insecure about their bodies. By the time video games became popular enough for the fun police to take notice, the word started to be used broadly in those circles as a strawman argument to make men feel bad about their original sin, the patriarchy.
