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.

I would just like to note that I didn't vote for this new Socialist regime, and I want no part of the blame for this government's moronic political correctness crusades over the coming four years.

The gaming industry trade organsation got some money from a funding agency to in some way support gender equality in games. In what way has this got anything to do with the current government, rather than the trade organisation and the case officer at the funding agency?

Case Officer's that get to hand out funding get their directives from somewhere you know, they don't just get to make decisions on who to throw money at based on their own personal views.

As for the Trade Organisation, it is adapting to the political realities of the day. You can compare it to Hollywood adapting the restrictive Hays Code of Censorship back in the day due to the fear of Government mandated film regulations from Washington. Better to act than react so to speak. I doubt the Swedish gaming industry just woke up two weeks ago and had a sudden realization that they should probably rate their games based on sexism, they clearly fear that if they don't look as if they're doing something, they'd be the perfect target for the government to institute some "reform" trying to win back the 3,1% that voted for the Schyman cult.
