Love your review.

I mean, she did so well at sexualizing bisexuality at the start of her career...

She built her image around being an aggressively sexual, party-girl. It’s sad that this happened, but also very on brand for her. It’s a little odd to me that she’s sometimes championed as a progressive or even feminist figure when her work seems at best banal and at worst, fairly exploitative. But I’m just musing and…

“i kissed a girl, she disliked it” probably wouldn’t have been as big a hit

I don’t get shame from questioning that number. I just don’t understand it. I’d wager the majority of adult men could identify her by sight and know her name. For her fame and popularity, the women deserves a tremendously larger amount of money.

I don’t care for Chris Hardwick’s shtick but the hell do you want? We as a society can’t just forever mark someone because of an accusation especially when it goes nowhere. Who among us hasn’t said something shiddy about an ex with a decent bit of embellished details and sour grapes or vice versa. I have no idea what…

Of course, a lot do. But if they feel their product could still sell, they’ll raise it without a problem. Mostly, for electronic goods (like videogames) it doesn’t matter THAT much. Look at Canada (where I live) for a quick example.

It is too bad he will never hear about it. He died.

Haha, it would make him so fucking mad. It would be hilarious. “Guys, I’m right here! Can’t you see me? GUYS?!”

Can we start a new meme where we all just agree that Trump died?

Same, love games but somewhre in the 100 hours ballpark for a big one is just so overwhelming, I want a few months of 10-15hrs per week max before thinking about picking one of the dozen games that have been on my radar.

Nah, if it were that the guy would only be whacking the bugs that make the game fun.

If anybody wanted to discuss the subject with any honesty, they wouldn’t “raise concerns” by means of this completely overblown Outrage Theatre. 😐

So the solution is to ban all negative depictions of historically marginalized groups? No gay black villains? Are we talking about marginalized groups across all regions and cultures? The Chinese were marginalized during Japanese occupation in WW2 so does that mean no Chinese villains? Your example of a black villain…

As someone who struggles with mental illness every day—in myself and other family members, some of whom have been institutionalized at one time or another —I have one thing to say: Stop. Just stop. You look fucking ridiculous.

Its not an “inaccurate stereotype of a mentally ill individual” its an accurate depiction of THEIR mentally ill individual. This is no different than complaining that villains can’t be bald because that paints bald men in a bad light.

Well, as a person who suffers from depression, bipolar, and anxiety, I don’t feel attacked. I like it, actually. It’s his best skin, maybe tied with the Talon epic skin. I don’t really see a reason to be upset. He’s a villain. They’re not saying all mentally ill people are like him. They have a host of villains who…

It was flawless. I’ll give Bernie runner up for “I wrote the damned bill!”.

We’ve got one of those just beginning, in the works. Generally, though from previous studies, the answer has been “not much.” Here’s one we did from a few years back: http://christopherjferguson.com/Sexist%20Games%20Reanalysis.pdf

I mean im a cis gendered straight mixed race male that enjoys virtual tiddies and asses but doesnt see real women as sex objects. I started playing Mortal Kombat when I was 6 and I am 31 now. Even that young I knew that killing people was wrong. I could easily separate fiction from reality. I guess the same could be…
