And you know what? A little less drama wouldn't hurt. A bit less angst. Sure, he can have his problems, but they don't have to involve his family. Let the guy get married, let him have his kid, and let him have a good home life - with the odd weirdness that happens with it. Why the hell not?

I wound up singing the Ladybug Picnic yesterday. For no reason at all.

Double Post. Ignore.

"Again, just honestly asking - so in your view, ANYONE could claim the label and they become a feminist."

Popcorn Time or Project Free TV. We don't have cable.

That would have been incredible. And depressing for a lot of audiences. But still, it would have been damn cool. :)

Actually, I'm a feminist SJW, as is my wife. We both think the character's pretty awesome. :)

Being a SJW, I actually find the character awesome (and reasonably attractive, actually). I have absolutely zero issues with this character.

"A powerful avatar and master of Earth, Wind, Fire, and Air."

You know, if comics actually followed a more normal timeline (where time passed closer to a normal rate, much like Marvel's Ultimate line did), there would be no need to do reboots. A character could retire, someone else could take the mantle, and stories would continue. If a character died, it wouldn't necessarily…

I saw what they did to Mortal Kombat X. They made the women look more human. You know what? I liked it. Then I saw a bunch of people flip their lid and say the game was 'ruined', because the women look closer to normal women.

Exactly. Which I think is the right way to do it.

No. She wants women to have a role besides 'victim'. You can have people in a position of crisis that has nothing to do with 'oh, your girlfriend is in danger'. The person could be in danger because of their occupation, their knowledge, their relation to the main character, and it could be a guy or a girl, but it…

There are many women and men who are spearheading this campaign. She's just one of the few that's had the target painted on her chest. That doesn't mean she should suddenly quit.

No, allowing male gamers to kill female characters doesn't 'perpetuate the fantasy'. It allows for the mindset of "that's an opponent". You don't play up the target's sexuality, you just make them another person. That's not pandering. That's having art reflect life.

That's another thing I like about Guild Wars 2. Your enemies are typically spread evenly between men and women. And there's nothing sexualized about your enemies, either.

They're allergic to 'fair' and 'rational'. ;)

Definitely. Guild Wars 2 allows a variety, including characters which aren't 'slim' or 'athletic'. Every single character that's on my account is also a PoC. I've got my two characters, my sister's got five or so, and my older brother's got one. Not a single white person in the bunch.

A friend of mine (a huge, viking of a man) tried the hot wing challenge at a local place. They had run out of your normal ghost pepper sauce, so they were using scorpion pepper sauce. He ate the whole thing, and won (so the food was free). He was in agony in the bathroom the next day.

This would have been so much nicer if they didn't skip through the entire damn thing! I actually wanted to watch it from start to finish.
