Okay, I work in post-secondary education. I would never—on my WORST day—call a student a, "fuck," primarily because that wholly disrespects the student, and secondarily because it would cost me my damn job.

So everything is ok with you? There are people with morals that are A-OK with the holocaust, religions that encourage sadistic things like rape and murder. Some people think that paedophilia is acceptable (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verenigin…) and others who think eating someone's heart = gaining their strength.

Here's another way to save money on COD: Ghosts: Don't buy it!

I don't want to be 'that guy', but wasn't this on io9 way back?

Once again, Penny Arcade does a wonderful job of flipping the issue on it's head:

Now, imagine the warrior in that last panel was an actual, playable character. Pretty bizarre, no? Why does the character need to have such pendulous cock and balls? Wouldn't they be cumbersome…

I think it's something we simply can't deny

What a bunch of garbage. Jason, you got it right in the first article. This IS sexism. This IS insulting to the large audience. And it IS exclusionary to anyone with a shred of self-respect or intelligence!

Plain and simple, it is the enforcement/ endorsement of pop-media portrayal of gender roles. Women are to sex…

I think you're giving him a bit too much credit.

This is a much better article on the topic because you more thoroughly explain why it's a problem.

"You don't like scantly clad women? ....You gay?"

Great article, and no apology necessary. Clearly you were right: the designer does have the maturity of a 14 year old boy. You don't like his absurdly sexist character designs so you're clearly a gay. Yeah, good one, man. Real funny, bro.

The ultra-sexualized character design's in Dragon's Crown are indicative of the misogynistic undertones of a large portion of gamer culture.

The debate here is about misogyny, not about maturity. this quote belongs ina rticle attacking Nintendo or children's anime.

Good post. Nice to know that Vanillaware employs a homophobe in a key position.
