But there sure are plenty of rapists out there. Which I also mentioned. But oh, I forgot. My being white totally invalidates any concern I have ever had for my safety at any point in time in my life.

Hey. If you make comments about boobs, or fapping, or anything else of a similar nature, I'm going to remove your comment. If it's bad, or I catch you doing it again, I'm going to ban your account.

Am I the only guy who wants practically dressed female characters? I shouldn't feel like a minority on this but I do.

I know the feeling. That's the way it is for me every time a new game comes out. My backlog is both a blessing and a curse.

You're welcome. ;)

Red is the embodiment of the player's will to succeed. He's trained hard, caught everything in sight, and taken out all without mercy. Ash on the other hand, is just out to explore and have fun. I'd say he's more a casual trainer who doesn't just fight to become strong, catch to complete, or save the world from…

Why? Because the writers say so.

Its true though, both are basically male fantasies.

Definitely check out Tengan Toppa Gurren Laggen, that is the anime of MAN!!!!!

I see "but we make fun of everyone!" tossed around a lot as an excuse, but that ignores the broader social context in which the parody is being presented.

There's an old Anatole France quote that's relevant:
"In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and…

Her last 2 books sold exceeding well...dunno what you're talking about.

Nope.

In situations like these—especially if a potential aggressor is drunk and blocking your way out (which is what I would do in that situation)—you *don't* know what's going to happen.

There's a drunk guy that's talking to a woman, blocking her only exit out, and making conversation about her looks. Yeah, I can see how that would scare a woman.

If I was a woman, I'd certainly be intimidated by a drunk man who starts making comments about how I look—especially if we're alone together. I'd certainly be terrified of what may happen.

Another scenario- you sit in the sauna at your gym. In comes a guy that was talking to you previously upstairs. He asks you wear you live, he tries to talk personal and puts a hand on your leg as you try to edge around it and the only thing you think to do is make a short comment as why you really have to be going. My…

Agreed. And I'm not sure if someone mentioned this already or not, but not only did the JRPG originate from western pen 'n paper RPGs (D&D primarily) but some of the first JRPGs were in fact programmed by Americans working for Japanese companies. If I remember correctly, Japanese developers sought out western…

JRPGs are about feeling, not country of origin. If it feels like a JRPG, it's a JRPG.

Porn is going to be so awesome when I'm 80. Can't wait.
