> “And why should a woman need to worry about that any more than a man does?”

Maybe — just hear me out here — because every single survey and study performed in practically every country in the planet shows that women are by and large the primary target of sexual harassment and rape by an enormous margin? This is all a…

Nobody is hindering anyone else though.

The existence of a fund for female developers does not correlate to the existence or lack thereof of one for anyone regardless of gender.

There are as many workshops for game development in a general sense for kids and/or adults than there are specifically for girls. In fact, I’d…

> “Idiot trolls go for low-hanging fruit, because it’s just that easy. It doesn’t require any cleverness at all. This isn’t some grand conspiracy by men against women, or whites against blacks, or anything like that.”

Who... cares?

If you sexually harass a woman, you intrinsically do not respect her space or her as a…

> “I’m saying this as someone who would love to attend workshops like this but cannot cause of my gender.”

What? There’s quite literally hundreds of different workshops and events that do not differentiate between genders or are gender based at all. There’s workshops for children with special needs, there’s workshops…

> “It’s the problem that such thinking, when unchecked, creates sexist/racist quotas instead of CVs, demolishing healthy business structuring.”

No, it won’t. Big businesses do not, never have and never will hire people based on anything more than the total sum of how much money they can make them.

You’re fine. Your…

Honestly, it wasn’t until I started playing Final Fantasy XIV when a lot of things became blatantly apparent to me.

One of these things is that Blizzard just does not trust their playerbase to be intelligent enough to have to stick together, form strategies and cooperate. As a result, the games (practically all of…

“Design developer”?

You mean game designer?

Let’s try to avoid being pitchforky about this at least for the time being.

Jon always was a gullible individual. He’s a very mainstream pop culture-oriented individual with every basic Internet culture exposure. He’s made a couple of innocent yet crass jokes in the past and probably got flak for it. He heard far-right…

Huh...?

What the fuck are you even talking about? Final Fantasy XV is one game.

This is a spin-off minigame that is not even canon. And it’s fucking free. I swear to christ, you people have some nasty sticks up your ass whenever the words “Final” and “Fantasy” appear together in this website. You will complain about…

Can’t really tell you why I know this, but higher ups decide where the money goes and marketing, state of the art graphics engine, hundreds of thousands of dollars-worth orchestras and trailers were more important than basic gameplay.

> “ The saying “it takes one to know one” is very true “

I’m a PhD in semiotics and visual culture with formal arts training from middleschool to the end of my first licence degree of three years, where I transposed my visual culture knowledge to perception sciences and linguistics.

This is bullshit. It doesn’t at all…

> “I’d say FF: XIV relaunch after they botched it so bad they had to nuke the planet from orbit.”

> Square Enix forgot how to make GREAT games.

So they went on to make the fastest selling JRPG in history and highest rated one in the last decade and the most successful modern MMORPG in the market.

Hahahaha, oh those japanese hahahahaha always with their anime and their big eyes and their hair ahahahahaha.

...

>_> I’m very sorry, but if you’ve ever had any difficulty distinguishing a character’s gender, there’s something seriously wrong either with your eyes or with your brain and you should seek help. Like, right…

> “you just have to assume that any given title is going to be shit until proven otherwise.”

Why? Every single product they’ve released in the last four years has been extremely well received and extremely high quality. Everything they’ve announced in the last three years has been released or will release this year.

You…

I like how you take your personal opinion, define it with absolutes, and then throw those absolutes around as fact.

“This looks boring. Because I say it does.”

Not only is your cynicism unwarranted, it’s referring to something that’s actually wrong.

FFXV didn’t need you to watch the anime to understand anything lol.

The joke wasn’t in good taste but the backlash was completely disproportionate.

I sincerely hope the people who lashed out at something like this the way Wallstreet did are ashamed of how childish they’re being. I’m all for peaceful social justice. I am all for people being reminded that just because you can say…

But I mean, at least they don’t fuck squirrels. It definitely could be worse.

Hi there! I come from the future!

Final Fantasy Versus XIII was released and it is the fastest selling game in the entire series. It is also critically acclaimed.

Good job predicting that one!
