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."

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.

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.

Really, if they did a sequel, I'd rather have Beetlejuice off doing other things, rather than retreading old ground. As much as I'd love to see Winona again in the movie, I'd much rather see something new and different.

There are some things you don't joke about. Raping people is one of them.

She's M to F, from what I can tell, considering she defines herself as 'she'.

No, I don't think you sound stupid. Sadly, English does have its limitations.

That would be a matter of gender identity. If a person identifies as female, they're female. If they identify as male, they're male. Their physical biology has nothing to do with their sexual identity.

GW2's actually got a really nice user base. For the most part, they're pleasant and polite, and there's an air of cooperation. There's a few jerks, but that's to be expected, but overall, the community is strong. I think the entry price is what keeps the people who might ruin the experience out, rather than a…
