No, I'm saying I've seen trolls say that about her.

I think it came partly from a jingoistic pro-American mindset in the wake of 9-11. There was a real groundswell in the early 2000s toward "EVERYTHING AMERICAN IS AMAZING, EVERYTHING FOREIGN IS SUB-PAR", and I think a lot of the early XBOX fanboyism came from that mindset, since it was the first truly American console…

The fanboyism existed long before the 360 was even a thought. It's been there since Microsoft first showed up, and frankly?

I'm not saying she is or isn't Jewish, and I don't care what god she chooses to believe in.

Agreed. People have a REALLY skewed perspective of how much money you get paid for speaking engagements like this if they think that Anita would be able to support herself and tank the constant abuse she gets solely because of the money.

It's not about representing sex. It's about representing reality and diversifying the amount of stories that can be told. Having a cast of five straight nerdy white men and one woman is by default limiting to the number of potential stories that the show can tell.

That's the point, though. Wonder-Yellow could've been a girl. Or Wonder-Green. Or Wonder-White. Hell, Wonder-Blue could've been a woman no problem. Why did it have to be six extremely diverse dudes and one token girl who just happens to be a vapid, fashion-obsessed idiot and without question the most annoying,…

And I think you need to keep in mind that "Just because you are offended doesn't make you right." And this is especially true in an artistic medium.

I'm not really surprised. From the very beginning, Microsoft has always really hit the branding gong hard. My first actual interaction with a fanboy of any kind was back in the early days of the original XBOX, where Microsoft fanboys would troll the crap out of major exclusive games on Nintendo and Playstation…

I really don't think she would be doing this shit as much as she does for the sole purpose of making a profit. There are easier ways to make money that don't involve getting half of an industry to hate you. This 'she's only in it for the money' viewpoint is a toxic idea that basically puts forth the notion that the…

And anyone who actually played The Wonderful 101 knows that Immorta and Alice are just as much "main heroes" as the seven color-coded characters.

Bingo. They don't care about what she has to say, they just care that it's her saying it.

Of course you can't see why anyone could complain, because you're only interested in yourself and how games benefit you directly.

Why do we care about the average male gamer? He is going to get hundreds of games catered directly at him every single month. He is the default. What is wrong with finding ways to make sure OTHER gamers don't feel excluded?

I would agree with that point, largely. There are stories to tell about sexuality and its effects on the world. Throwing that shit in there for the sole purpose of titillation? No thanks.

That's not the point she was making though. She was saying how it's stupid tat in a game like Overwatch (shown above), all the male characters are extremely diverse in design and size and build...and all the women are Victoria's Secret models in varying levels of undress.

It shouldn't even be a checklist. All eight points are common sense.

Again, that's pretty much what she's saying. She's asking for more options. Also, I take issue with the point about censorship - she can't enact censorship. She's not the government. She can't stop anyone from doing anything. And if what she says inspires a developer not to include over the top sex or violence,…

That's what she's saying, though. She's saying that if the entire point of an enemy in a game is to be sexy, that's kind of gross. Especially if it's the only female enemy in said game.

She's not demanding anything. They're suggestions. Propositions. Ideas. She can't censor anything, she's not a government entity.
