I'm not sure you've read anything I've written thus far, but I was pointing out that there is a wealth of information discussing gender in other forms of entertainment - movies, music, even comics. It is simply untrue that gaming is singled out.

To start, I would point out that gender equality in film is not an unusual topic in film studies or women's studies programs, which you can find at many state universities, which are partially (or wholly, depending on the country) funded by taxes.

It's not singled out, that was my point.

It's that simple eh? I had this crazy idea that people were upset about depictions of women in mainstream games for other reasons.

Did no one else critique and discuss films in middle school, high school, college? Analyzing gender roles is like literacy 101, and the games industry has grossed more annually than Hollywood for a few years now. Gaming has grown up. It's part of the culture. People are going to deconstruct it and write about it for…

I recall some pretty cool features with X-Wing Alliance. There were space stations / objects you could fly through, not just around. There was a mod where you could pilot capital ships, multiplayer was ruthless, some people were masters at picking you off with the quad lasers of a TIE Interceptor from a couple km…

Welp, there's my quota for misogynistic and downright idiotic comments for the day. Thanks Kotaku community!

Perhaps we can agree that threatening people with whom you disagree, or telling them to kill themselves, is not okay?

That's what I thought too, and it sounded like pure hell.

You should. Everyone has to start somewhere...

Gee, there are are so many people here enlightened enough to tell us this is a non-issue. I'm really glad to know how comfortable you all are with a minority being underrepresented in the industry. Now I can finally sleep at night.

If Nintendo could get N64 games in the 3DS eShop they could have all my money.

As a New Yorker, I'm sad that TWC and EA are matched in the first round, and that con Edison is nowhere to be found. The two horrible monopolies which screw most of us every month are not going to get their due.

Thank you, I was looking for a comment like this. All the trolling is tiresome. Some of us bought a Mac for work/school or, heaven forbid, because we have our own opinion and prefer them.

I really just want to see what they do for the next Mass Effect with this engine.

I found the list of Pokemon nicknames pretty amusing, via r/gaming:

Too damn many. It's unreal how many people are saying 'hey, nbd'. If this happened in politics or sports you can bet it would be national news and it would be a bigtime scandal. And somehow here it's the developer's fault for not immediately blocking him. The reality is that this issue should be of concern to everyone…
