Not in the least, and to further back my claim I'm a 32 year old Puerto Rican male, so your argument is invalid.

Also, how does saying that I don't deserve to be talked to like a human make you and better than the "misogynist" you claim me to be? Say what you want about my opinion but at least I'm not trying to degrade you for having one. Even if your manner of expressing it does make you like a total idiot. I'm done wasting my…

Exactly, which in most cases present a much more wide, and often more disturbing set of stories and images to people, the vast majority of which can tell the difference between a heavy handed social commentary and a stupid movie that was made just for entertainment purposes.

Again, putting words in my mouth. I said people. In general. Need to lighten up about things like this in general. Especially you, you hate filled rage monger.

I never said they didn't. I'm stating my opinion that the word outrage is a little over the top in this instance, but that is just an opinion. Not THE opinion. I'm not looking to "win" arguments. Just sharing my two cents. Like it or not.

Aveline DeGrandPre (Assassin's Creed Liberation) , Ellie (The Last of Us), Alex Vance (Half-Life), Alexandra Roivas (Eternal Darkness), Lara Croft (the new one), Aurora (child of light, ubisoft game btw), Samus Aran (metroid), Faith (mirrors edge), Elena Fisher & Chloe Frazer (Uncharted), Ashley, Tali, Miranda,…

Nowhere in that post did I mention or state anything about a marginalized group. You said that. Nor did I say anything about them knowing their roll. You said that. Or rather you're trying to put words in my mouth.

Apples and oranges Arden. I never said I was annoyed by this issue. Nor did I dismiss anyone's needs or opinions. I simply stated mine. It amazes me that people "read" something, glean what they want out of it, and then contort a person's statement. Your above stated post, is again, proof that people need to lighten…

Stay classy venkman.

also please bear in mind that just because men olive more often represented, doesn't mean we're always represented well. The list of male characters I'd consider to be shining examples of men and what they should in gaming is short. Most of them are gun toting, on liner spouting, rage maniac murderers. Hardly how I…

I clearly never said it wasn't important. I said that people need to lighten up. I also make it clear that I think that men and women should all be represented properly in gaming. I would hope that most companies will handle things better after this sort of a scandal but I also stand by that there are just as many…

I never said it was bad if you re-read what I wrote. I welcome the diversity. Gladly.

FFVII is one of my favorite games of all time! It's commentaries were part of what made it so great, but it's not free of offensive concepts. Barrett and the way his dialogue was localized was terribly offensive if you think about the way it was represented phonetically but nobody seemed to lose their mind over that…

I do certainly agree that they could/should have handled it much better than they did. Sweeping it under the rug is what stoked the fires. It was very irresponsible.

I'd say not all games are art, in as much as not everything you hang on your walls is INTENDED to be art. Some of it is just a product. Some of it is art. It depends on who made it/who's buying it.

I clearly didn't dismiss anyone's feelings and the concept that there are no good representations of female game characters are silly. I could list a dozen, maybe more. Sure there could be MORE good representations. What I stated above is that while I don't think Ubisoft handled it properly I don't think they went…

That's like saying that a good movie or a good buck is less fun because the lead character is male/female. Forrest Gump is shit because Forrest is a guy right? My point is that gaming is a story telling medium and the same suspension of disbelief can be applied to this as any other story telling medium. It's worked…

This is a mountain made from a molehill. Video games were better when people stooped trying to inject their social commentaries into them and just enjoyed the game. Not everything is an attack on gender, race, or sexual preferences and and people are becoming overly sensitive to a point where it's almost silly.…

Fair enough.

The properties aren't ours to push others to present a certain way. Geek/nerd culture has to be the worst about assuming that because we love something that it simply belongs to us. I agree that they need diversity and I agree that they handled the situation poorly, but I say again, these IPs belong to the…
