It is indeed rhetorical. And a vain effort to have the person I was responding to really reflect in her position.

Nah, I only watch them in their native language so I can culturally appropriate them. Trolololol.

Oooh, burn!

How do they put up with you?

Yeah, but how is their deaths motivation for men, if almost all of those women come into the story long after the man has started the mission that is the central storyline of the game? Try harder.

Tend to avoid both Reddit and 4chan. Too many people like you. Totally vacuous. Like, seriously. Maybe they've taken a social sciences module at college, and think they're the next Plato. Or in your instance, the next Ann Oakley. Sorry, you're not. You're just not up to it. You're not very smart =(

Hahaha.

Haha. It's not a nit to me. It kills my immersion.

Haha, you literally just shoved another point of view on to me that I don't hold, to combat me telling you you're shoving points of view on to me that I don't hold.

'I have no interest in teaching a baby how to walk and talk just so I can better explain what a fucking idiot it is. '

Yeaaah, I think we're done here. You keep shoving these points of view on to me, that I don't hold, so you don't have to think. Maybe you're just really lazy. Either way, I'm not going to indulge you in your little bout of 'poor me'. I'm looking to have a debate, and I can't pat you on the head at the same time. See…

"None of what you said disqualified what I said. You just chose to read their deaths as "noble acts." That somehow makes all these characters existing just to die okay? And I didn't say they all die, learn to read, I said they either exist to die and give men purpose or they exist entirely for men. "

"All his female characters exist for men or to die therefore giving the man a purpose."

Dude, how many straw men are you going to erect to hide your terrible, baseless argument?

why not? It should be subbed with a French dub, or at least have the option. Surely none of us watch anime dubbed or foreign films dubbed. Why are we playing games that way?

yes, I would. Which is how I watch my anime and foreign films.

My original comment was supposed to provoke you, to be honest. I wanted you to respond with a mild annoyance that may have had you slip into a position you otherwise wouldn't, which I could then point to in order to show your argument was flawed. But I also did want the comment to portray another, admittedly outré,…

"Oddly enough, "equality" hasn't included remedying the advantages women have over men. People have spent decades pointing out that referring to rape and abuse as "violence against women" is sexist, and just been ignored. Up until recently. Which leads, IME, to feminists who insist the movement helps with the issue,…

"I'm worried about you kid. If you read this thread, do you see anywhere that I claim to be more/less feminist than anyone else? Or make any claims about that?"

" I think that saying "I can understand the perspective of others" is hardly worthy of having someone question if I understand how sexual arousal works.... that goes a bit beyond rationality, hence the response associating fanatics to his fans.... "
