Anita is not the Supreme Court. She by definition cannot censor anything.

Don't play the victim card here. You're the one here going out of your way to paint someone as some sort of psychotic money-grubbing supervillain whose sole goal in life is to ruin games for men while making a profit off of it. Even though the amount of money she would make from doing so is nowhere near worth all…

Are you people still upset about her saying she didn't like video games because she thought all the ultraviolence and sex was gross? You're still bent out of shape about this?

Speaking as someone who games on the PS4 a lot, PSN is not down for maintenance nearly often enough for this to even be worth arguing about. You're acting like PSN goes down every few days. It doesn't.

So what, only dudes are allowed to have opinions?

Sexism is a business imperative? Insanity.

The free market is broken and has been broken for decades. Don't argue that just because something sells it's inherently right.

I hope you realize Jim Sterling was being paid to troll people back in his Destructoid days.

Sony Defense Force? You mean the site that was started by a bunch of irate Sega fans for the sole purpose of making Sony fans look bad? THAT site?

If you really think nothing is wrong and nothing needs to be fixed, then I have nothing else to say to you.

Someone doesn't remember the days of "standby hacking" on LIVE, clearly.

Because those people who won't care will buy your game regardless of what you do.

Or maybe they can change things and sell even more copies. That's the potentiality you seem to be ignoring here. Making games less structurally sexist won't make them sell less copies. Most gamers won't even notice the difference, they're too blinded by hype cycles and marketing to care.

That's because those are the only options they're being given. And gamers are slaves to the marketing cycle. If Rockstar were to make a GTA game with a female protagonist, it would still sell millions of units. Because marketing.

Oh sure, doubling the number of characters and animations is "incredibly easy." Not if you know the slightest thing about game development and financing.

That doesn't justify the almost nationalistic pride with which a lot of people view the XBOX brand, though. That's a sign of Sony's weakness, not Microsoft's strength.

Asking you to confront unfortunate truths about the world is not attacking you. It sucks, I know. But things suck much harder for women and minorities in gaming right now.

This shit still costs money. And I don't know if you noticed, but she's a researcher, not a game designer.

I suppose I just don't see Sony's CORPORATE stupidity circa early PS3 as being the same thing as the legions of drips who would say that the Metroid games sucked because they weren't made by American developers, or who said Final Fantasy games were for "fags" until the second the series was announced for the 360.

You said "if she wants change, she should change it herself". How exactly do you propose she does that?
