That's partly true, but some of it is just, y'know, honest-to-god graphical problems. Like...the texture flickering shouldn't be happening REGARDLESS of your setup. The collision stuff...well, that's a little more excusable. And the animation is something that I actually wouldn't expect to scale based on hardware

"So, Anita is part of the problem?"

That depends. I don't recall her saying that assertiveness is an inherently male trait; I do recall her saying that society typically IDENTIFIES assertiveness as a male trait. The two are very different.

If you sincerely think that when people say Hillary Clinton is "a man", they're

Well, first of all, it's not a sexuality; it's an identity. Being trans has virtually nothing to do with sexual desire/attraction and everything to do with who you are.

As for your earlier comment:
"Identifying yourself as your sexual perversion, or lack thereof, is idiotic."

For the reasons I just explained, that's not

...says the person calling trans people "perverted"?

I'm not ignoring your point; I'm disagreeing with it.

Fair enough! And no, I absolutely don't think anime fandom etc. is some kind of negative thing.

If they dislike her so much, why bother? There's lots of things on Youtube and the internet I dislike, so you know what? I -don't bother with them-.

I've "thought things through" plenty, thanks, and I see a set of pretty consistent trends emerging when it comes to discussion about Sarkeesian's videos. One of those

I think we're talking about two different things. Also, and with all due respect, I'm more concerned with representation in general than the "anime subculture's" reaction to a particular character.

(Though even the anime subculture isn't blameless; the entire "trap" meme is incredibly toxic.)

"Point remains it´s a

"You just have to learn how to be a decent human being"

What was that about not making assumptions about people you don't know?

" I don't have to explain my history to you for you to do that."

Nope, you don't.

While we're talking about being a "decent human being", though, how about not telling other people what they can

"Winquotes which were taken out when some folks pointed out that they may be offensive. "

Which Capcom deserves some credit for, granted.

"Win quotes that were added during a time when Capcom was playing coy and had not yet confirmed her physical gender, preferring instead to leave small clues and hints as a refernece

The fact that you're calling being trans a "sexual perversion" pretty much tells me everything I need to know about you and whether or not you're worth talking to.

Then correct me.

Or are you too busy telling other people what they should and shouldn't be concerned with and mimicking other people's posts?

When you make statements like you did and say that other people should stop doing something, you are making an argument.

I don't believe you're saying women shouldn't be able to make whatever games they want. I just find that that's a red herring.

And yes, it is a real "problem". I could explain to you why

I'm not sure what you're trying to say, here.

Do you expect all gay people to think alike and share the same opinions? All black people?

Hell, let's be more specific. All LGBT rights advocates?

Because within any group like that, there tends to be substantial disagreement. And no, feminism doesn't have a "leader". It's

It's not so much that I expect people to learn about trans characters through games. It's that portrayals in games can PERPETUATE existing stereotypes, and if people have little to no exposure to trans people in real life, those media stereotypes will tend to be how they perceive the group in question.

The show you're

Oh, man, yeah. South Georgia has some scary, scary places. Like, "Deliverance" scary.

Are you referring to Poison or the character in "The Crying Game"?

Because believe me, I'd LOVE the character you describe. The thing is, that pretty much never happens. The character's trans nature is always played for shock, for surprise, as a "gotcha" moment. The character in The Crying Game, for instance, is

So what you're saying is, I don't actually need to "recalibrate my sarcasm detector", because I was right the first time. Got it.

Uh, what exactly were you being "sarcastic" about? What was your point? Maybe you could clarify.

Because it looked an awful lot like you were doing a bog-standard "Why is this FEMINIST article on a gaming website?" jab, just with added, well, sarcasm.

What's funny is that, with all that horsepower, the graphical glitches just become even more noticeable.

There's the texture flickering, the collision issues, the pop-in, and the kind of stiff, unconvincing animation, for starters.

The terrain and lighting looks pretty nice, though.
