This was a good choice of things to watch when high.
I know white people have done shitty things, but explain to me why it's MY responsibility to fix it? I am not responsible for my forefathers actions. This logic dictates that the kids of criminals should be punished instead of them. And you really think I don't know that there are more minorities than that? Did you…
The problem with the concept of privilege is that it does nothing to advance any level of a debate. Claiming or implying that I am wrong because I am male, or white, or straight is at it's very core an ad hominem and does nothing to aid your position.
Tell me, which of these two has the stronger form of an argument?
I always laugh at people who go onto the internet without the capability to carry out logical discussion and then vomit forth vitriolic hate when somebody calls them out on their ad hominem attacks based on race and gender. When you're a logic-less moron without a grasp of how to think it's easy to dismiss another…
I wish more girls that actually play these games on a daily basis would chime in like you. These journalists play the games for like 5 minutes and move on. Then they write this bullshit to generate page views and stir up controversy where there really isn't any controversy. So sad.
I always laugh when people try and base their entire argument on the other persons race and gender.
Good job with the progressive views.
I'm a white male living in Wyoming. Needless to say, my interaction with people of other races is sparse. Explain to me how it's my responsibility to fix racism, when I didn't cause it? You are making gross generalizations about white males, which if you strictly adhered to your "everyone is equal" diatribe, is no…
I'm a girl and this sort of thing never makes me insecure or uncomfortable at all (and I'm an A cup!). Riven and Vi are two of my favorite female LoL champs, but that's 99% because I like bruisers and they have fun play styles. I certainly still enjoy playing the "sexy" champs, and body type is barely something I…
We shouldn't equate LoL to the entire genre. Granted, DotA doesn't have a lot of female characters but the only one that's really sexualized is Queen of Pain, who is a succubus.
It's a loaded question, he shouldn't have answered it. No matter how you portray women in video games, someone is always going to be annoyed at it.
get ready for idiots assuming that only white guys have a problem with people blowing things way out of proportion.
"My personal insecurities mean that this is wrong."
So this is sexist and holding women back now?
I don't mind "sexy" character designs so long as it fits the character, setting, scenario, etc. But I see some people (mostly Riot Games if we're speaking for the genre) just seem to go for the extra cleavage or revealing clothes without much thought. It's not like I find anything wrong with a little titillation, it's…
He shouldn't have apologize.
This looks like much ado over nothing. The interviewer poised that question as a direct attack, the interviewee wasn't expecting it at all, tried very hard to come up with a good response for it on the spot (Achieved that goal, I think) and then the interviewer continued to press more awkwardly, as though he didn't…
The example they gave of a "hyper-sexualized" character (Roller Girl Nova or whatever it is) isn't even hyper-sexualized. She just looks like a roller derby girl with some high tech stuff on and a gun.
