God only created two types of people: men and women. We have since segregated into different skin colors, cultures, and countries, but the only difference inherent to creation is biological sex.<\/span><\/p>\nAny person can see this. Everyone has known it for all of history \u2014 until now. Men and women are not the same. Each sex has different strengths and weaknesses. These inherent traits are complementary to such a strong degree that you might assume God made it that way for a reason.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nSince the dawn of time, men and women have worked together to allow the continuation and flourishing of human civilization. If they hadn\u2019t done this, we wouldn\u2019t be here today. <\/span>This should go without saying, but apparently it must be said.<\/span><\/p>\nThese truths are antithetical to our leftist-run educational systems, mainstream media, and progressivism. Instead of celebrating femininity and masculinity, liberals promote views and lifestyles that denigrate women, demonize men, and support transgenderism. Don\u2019t believe your lying eyes<\/em>, they say. There are no differences between men and women, and any differences you perceive are a problem with deep-seated bigotry.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\nHow well is that working out for us? Dr. Jordan B. Peterson put it bluntly, \u201cMen and women aren\u2019t the same. And they won\u2019t be the same.\u201d Pretending it isn\u2019t true reliably produces worse outcomes for everyone.<\/span><\/p>\nIt is fruitless to try to square liberals\u2019 push for diversity being our strength with their lack of belief in inherent biological differences, but they do try to hold those two beliefs simultaneously. The problem is that they don\u2019t acknowledge the correct core differences that complement each other. They choose to divide people based on man-made, oppression-based hierarchies.<\/span><\/p>\nBut there are some truths so pervasive that they can\u2019t help but resonate with people in reality.<\/span><\/p>\nVideo games are largely created and deliberated on by far-left writers and programmers, but many games, in their core structure, whether intentionally or not, support the idea that intrinsic differences and natural skillsets are equally vital, and those differences make everything better.<\/span><\/p>\nAnyone who has cleared a raid in World of Warcraft or Final Fantasy XIV or queued into Overwatch or Marvel Rivals has internalized a truth that modern egalitarian discourse often resists: profound difference and profound equality are not opposites but partners. In video games, they are even classified by the term \u201croles.\u201d The gaming roles making up the \u201choly trinity\u201d of tank, healer, and damage dealer have been the structural backbone of nearly every cooperative gaming experience for the past quarter-century. They offer what may be the most widely beloved demonstration of complementarian logic in popular culture.<\/p>\n
A team composed of identical members fails, while a team composed of different but equally essential members thrives. This reflects how men and women are designed for distinct yet harmoniously interlocking roles.<\/span><\/p>\nEvery role is required and invaluable. The characters\u2019 worth is preserved because of their different functions, not in spite of them. Whenever designers have tried to flatten the distinctions by giving players abilities that lessen the value of differing roles, players complain that the game feels duller and less alive. When Overwatch 2 gave every tank a \u201cself-heal\u201d ability, players who preferred playing the healing-focused classes felt their importance was being diminished. Final Fantasy XIV received similar criticisms, as changes in that game made support classes feel oversimplified by reducing the need for their classes\u2019 specific abilities. Difference, it turns out, is what makes the game fun.<\/span><\/p>\nThis is the complementarian vision of marriage in miniature: a husband and wife whose distinct strengths converge on a shared mission, each making the other capable of what neither could do alone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nCritics will object that people aren\u2019t assigned a class at creation, and that game roles are freely chosen, while sex-based roles historically were not. It\u2019s not a perfect analogy, but the intent of the designer is real. The differences are real, and those distinctions complement each other. God wrote them into the fabric of the universe. Each role is irreplaceable, honored, and unique, and that is beautiful.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
