I don't follow why, having suffered yourself, you want others to suffer alike. I'm a PS3 owner since 2005, never played much 360, and intend to buy a PS4 in the next couple months, and I think this stuff should all end immediately. No exclusive or timed content, no exclusive 3rd party games. Hell, I wish there were no

Sexist and asshole are not mutually exclusive in any way. "Actually sexism" means nothing. It is the definition of victim blaming ("maybe you're taking it wrong") and, to be clear, I don't mean that you did any victim blaming intentionally. But any sexism... is actual sexism. If it comes from "pure assholery" or

Fighting fire with fire burns the whole place down. No one should be doxxed.

You don't see that? Hm. Comparing those who are with GG to those who are Muslim is absurd. One's roots go back 8 weeks, the other's goes back around 73,008 weeks. You can't think of how making any direct comparison about their members would be "invalid"?

I don't follow your comment. I certainly didn't imply anything about Muslims being all the same. That's obvious to anyone reading it though. Can you explain your point? Mine was that gg is very new and has no lineage, nor was any thinking person born into the group , therefore it is absurd to compare one's

So the Muslim identity is only 7-8 weeks old? It seems so much older and more well-established.

You meant there isn't any hatred of humanity... In their eyes, right? Because, being a strong feminist, you consider women equal humans, right?

Well, when you have, let's just say, a 20:1 ratio of male to female protagonists, you give the male side 20x the chance to do a good job with the character development. Also, there are well-written, strong females in games. It's just that there are so few female PCs in general, there seems to be less good ones.

It's not his limitation. It's societies limitations that he's challenging. That's what you're ignoring.

Everything should be an option? How about leaving out options for oneself? Is that an option?

Says who? With what authority do you speak? I studied storytelling, and I've never heard the rule that one is best suited to take their own sensibilities out of the creative endeavors. In fact, that sounds insane to me to even type out. Sensibilities are limitations? What are you talking about?

He's not painting and entire world. He's painting one set of circumstances in one particular, fictional, world. It is not the burden of every creator to consider their world as an exact mirror of the real world. In fact, that mentality would often be a huge disadvantage. Women are shown, disproportionately to reality,

In this case, you should stop being friends with the misogynist, rape/murder-threatener supporting group. That's the solution. And then just be friends with the others.

I read the first 5 of the harassment link and either you posted the wrong link, or you don't understand what harassment is (the people posting certainly don't).

It's actually laugh out loud funny that a thread "gamergateharassment" is GGs BEING harassed.

The first post in the doxxing link is a person on twitter saying

Sure, I couldn't agree more. Now, what if one games the system by spamming the companies with hundreds or thousands of emails from dummy accounts in order to make the problem seem massively disproportionate to the reality?

Can't you just... use a different website?

Why should everything be considered an option? Why do you not allow for individual creators' sensibilities, interests, and fortes?

Because it's harmful to women in society when those images are so constantly broadcast every place you look. It is useful, if a creator so chooses, for these types of tropes to be subverted or ignored entirely. You don't have to believe that, but that's probably why he's doing it, and I agree with him.

So you think the elite police unit should have all assumed zombies and hid?

Dude, come on. Are you trolling? Not every writer writes every type of character. There are dick-bag MRAs in the world, that's a massive character flaw, but RE doesn't have any of them in it.

Find your favorite writer in any medium, read/watch/play all their stuff, and see if every character flaw known to man is

I would say that there are probably 10 to 20 archetypal "strong male" characters, with little to no personality beyond being "tough" or "cool", for every one female character that you describe. Is that something you're sick of as well?

Second question, do you feel that the female characters in RE are character-flawless
