EXPLAIN YOURSELF

No, you don't. If someone is prodding another person and the person tells them to stop it, that's not evil.

Patently obvious that you neglected to read my very first comment, which said that I don't begrudge people for thinking this is awesome, I begrudge them for no longer thinking it's awesome as soon as these people are employed by anyone with a name they don't like.

The guy's an absolute fuckwit who's trying to con his way into office by playing on the fears of the people who won't do the research required before they vote. Bleh. Kick him off the cliff too.

It's a little bizarre to me how easily people are impressed by student work and how reluctant they are to be impressed by professional work. Like college juniors/seniors have no skills whatsoever, but the moment they land a job at a studio they're seasoned vets.

I view Bowser the same way as I view Satan in the bible. He's the most sympathetic, likable, fallible and human-like character in the series.

Oh my, that Yoshinoya is perfect.

You're attacking/insulting me personally instead of arguing an actual point. That is exactly what an ad hominem is.

Yannick, I'm rolling around over here! You're reviewing style is awesome.

I am very much the target audience for this and I count the Lucas games as some of the best games ever made... but I think I'm done with nostalgia for a while.

Geez TCRI must be putting Cocaine, HGH, and Steroids in their mutagen now.

Artists can make things more beautiful than themselves.

I disagree with a lot of Heinlein's positions. But he did express perfectly how I feel about folks like Ransom, Snyder, and Ham:

She cherry picks the examples in a way, that if someone was to cherry pick with male examples, it'd seem the industry is out to get men.

There's nothing wrong with "men liking certain things", except...

One: that's kind of reductive, and assumes that all (or even most) men are a hive-mind about this sort of thing. In my experience, that's not really the case
Two: we can like things that are nonetheless kind of harmful. Someone was going to see all those…

Whether she cares about gaming as a whole or not is irrelevant. I mean, I disagree, but even if you're right, that has no bearing on whether her critique has merit or not.

In the example you use, yes, in the larger context of the game, the courtesans play some role (though I'd argue it's not necessarily a better one).…

There is nothing wrong with it, even if its done a lot. There's nothing wrong with a fictional sexualized objectified powerless female, in any way. Its a legitimate choice to make.

There have been plenty of non-military, random males killed just for shits and giggles.

Just because you don't view something as "sexy" does not mean it isn't sexualized. The visual cues for that kind of thing are pretty clear and well-understood. I mean, aside from the fact that the character we're talking about is an actual prostitute (which is her sole defining feature in the game), there's the…

Gamers: "We want games to be considered Art!"
