You can see the cheekboned loveliness even in grey blob form. Happy sigh.

I'm aware of those articles. I disagree with them. I mean, they're certainly entitled to their opinions, but them being women doesn't somehow make them objectively correct on this issue. There are people like Phyllis Schlafly whose opinions on feminism I find utterly abhorrent, for instance.

If you're sincerely trying to argue that, for instance, Kratos was designed primarily with a female audience in mind, then I really don't know what to tell you.

Just because you don't view something as "sexy" does not mean it isn't sexualized. The visual cues for that kind of thing are pretty clear and well-understood. I mean, aside from the fact that the character we're talking about is an actual prostitute (which is her sole defining feature in the game), there's the…

I have watched the videos, and I'm familiar with how academia works. She didn't "silence" critics; I mean, here you are, right now, talking about it. Turning off comments on her Youtube videos (which, for god's sake, even people like TotalBiscuit have done) is not "silencing critics" in any meaningful sense.

When you…

I'm just gonna address this first:
Plenty of men in gaming are heavily designed to be sexual sex gods or extremely attractive.

The problen is, yes, they are saying we are all this bad. They have been from the start. Thats what caused gamergate.

If you want corruption in gaming journalism to end, then how come your focus is some indie games that were played by like 1000 people and not like, actual corruption in video game journalism? Why didn't Gamergate start when IGN does reviews of Blizzard games without playing them but assuring people that they'll be…

Maybe I am being a little selfish, though I think that's kind of a strange way to look at it. I just don't feel that I have to deprive myself of good art by shitty artists. Chinatown is a genuinely phenomenal film, and I will watch it when it comes on. I'm not sure that partaking (especially when I'm not giving them…

Dont forget Angel

I've yet to see any "extreme" feminism on display throughout all this. Wanting to have women play a greater role in the gaming industry and to have more women playing a larger range of roles in games is hardly extreme. The most extreme I've seen of feminism is the desire to reduce the "boys' club" mentality that…

Also, if the subjects didn't give their permission and the photographer benefits from the photo financially, I'm pretty sure that (should the subject find out), they could file a civil suit. And even if the photog didn't benefit financially, if they post them online, it again seems like something that could result in…

That's what I mean. It's probably also that they sympathize with him (as someone who feels unwanted and unloved etc) and think that that similarity means the other person will be nice to them and will be able to help them feel better. Which really often isn't the case. Though it's the girls who have crushes on the…

hes either SUPER good at teh secks or REALLY BAD AND SELFISH AND FAST

At best, he'd just sort of get annoyed or wouldn't care at all in a lot of those scenarios. Even at his nicest, he's not super-empathetic or good with emotions. Some of those weird fantasies are really sad though— I think some of those girls are from abusive homes or something based on how sad and desperate they…

First of all, it's "paternity leave"—not fraternity leave (fraternity leave would be when you run out the room because you have to vomit from all that Natty Lite). Second of all, lots of countries (and many companies in the U.S.) already offer paternity leave (not enough, though! All companies should offer it—in…

SMBC:

What a waste of money. 30 grand could have put a couple of those sex dolls through college.
