And yet you don't see men bawling about how they are represented on the covers of fictional stories. Wonder why?

Actually, it just occurred to me that maybe they were influenced by the BSG reboot, which had a LOT of handheld camera action and incessant zooms. This TV movie was in 2006, a couple years after BSG started.

You can be an ass, nobody is ever going to take it away from you... but you also have to face the consequences. The question here is, did the game company overreact to his tweet? Sure the…

I will concede the victory of semantics to you. And let everybody else who reads this replace "acceptance" with "tolerance" because Kinja has a time limit on edits and I've had too rough a day to discern the two apparently.

This is wonderful, thank you.

I was not aware that Mystique knows Gymkata, the deadliest martial art on the planet as long as there is a pommel horse laying around.
