Actually, the research data were pretty interesting, from the article:
I would recommend to not do your research online but instead find a vet who will give you medically sound, scientifically-backed advice on the best way to go about a raw diet.
Whatever. At least I know how to dry my head with a towel without ending up in the hospital.
Except satire fires up; it doesn't reinforce the same harmful oppression it intends to critique.
Make like us Brits and call them "full stops"!
Whenever i hear "cultural appropriation", something different rings in my head: "cultural privilege". Only a person who lives immersed in a culture that is thriving, and growing and prospering, could think that taking something from a different culture is "bad". Only that kind of privilege leads one to think that…
A lot of male gamers tend to be of the mindset that, just because they aren't at all offended about the current state of female characters in video games, that means that no one else has any right to find it offensive. Many male gamers also tend to not see how women are portrayed in games to be an issue, because…
"At this point in time it's pretty clear that most people want sexy characters (including many women) and why shouldn't those people have valid opinions too?"

You do realize that means acidic or bitter comments made for the purpose of injury, right? You do realize nothing I said could possibly be construed within normal discourse that way, right?

"We"? Plenty of people, a lot of them women and female players, DON'T like hyper-sexualized female avatars, and they're precious few options for those that want something with a little more dignity (and clothing).
Congratulations, you've expressed self-awareness and thoughtfulness.
"But female characters whose entire existence has sexual overtones are the same thing as powerful, buff space marines! I'm OK with women playing sexual characters because their first thought is always to titillate me sexually! And if it isn't then they are just bird-brained, overreacting Femi-Nazis out to kill my…
I hate over sexualized characters. Big buff men in action games? Believable at least. Girls with massive boobs and tights? They make me feel awkward playing the game when I have people around.
Are frat bros who dress up as patriarchal imperialists who think they know what's best for everyone really even wearing costumes?
Cue the stupid excuse brigade!
STOP WITH THE FUCKING AUTOPLAY ADS.
