I don’t know if Blizzard was going to come out unscathed about the timing of the reveal. Wait and they get accused of changing the character retroactively. Make it known immediately and they could get accused of making Tracer “token”.

That’s all well and good, but they certainly don’t seem to have the problem painting anybody who doesn’t conform to their way of thinking as a “SJW” or whatever the new trendy name is.

Honestly, I think the guy was getting Zoe Quinn confused with Anita Sarkeesian because I don’t recall Quinn every going on Colbert.

Odd, I heard it was because a woman used her romantic connections with the gaming press to good reviews for her game. Looks like the narrative was full of crap when it cannot even be consistent.

People would admit that there is systematic bias against African-Americans in the US by the police system and there are those who are trying to combat that bias. Then again, there is no current law that I am aware of that seeks to target African-Americans in any way because they present a threat to traditional…

But if being gay in Russia is fine as you’ve maintained in other comments, then why would there be any risk of violence against gay people in the first place? Attacking someone for being gay sounds more like a threat to children and society at large than whatever theoretical threat gays pose to traditional families.…

When this subject comes up, I always think about High School of the Dead. That anime had some really good drama (the police and the ridge scene in particular), but the fan service just got in the way so many times. If people like their fan service, more power to them. Hell, I like it from time to time, but not as…

What exactly do you mean by it protects gays without a self-preservation instinct? What would they need to protect themselves from?

They aren’t synonyms, but looking at this case with FIFA, it seems the mere existence of the DLC mentioned in the article is deemed propaganda. So what is the specific threat to children? What is objectionable? You never did answer that question.

I have to ask since I see this line used quite frequently, but what exactly are countries like Russia protecting their children from by stigmatizing gay relationships? The presence of a gay Russian in no way threatens the way of life for those who would say they practicable a traditional opposite sex relationship. So…

Someone should remind him we aren’t taming the damn Kentucky Territory anymore.

The thing with the Machamp makes me wonder what happens if a Pokemon ever got out of its Pokeball out in the wild after its Trainer dies suddenly. Since it can’t be caught by anybody else, yet has no direction, can Pokemon revert to a feral state? I know we see what happens when Pokemon are abandoned, but in these…

I never saw any outrage, but in my experience the kind of outrage you’d expect this would cause is something you have to look for. Like, I go to Tumblr and I have to search for the kind of “Tumblr bait” that one would expect to be front and center.

Maybe. To be honest though, ever since that underage red lipstick manufactured outrage story that happened months ago I’ve become annoyed anytime I see folks complain about people being offended. Just seems the “offense” is always played up way more than it really is.

Seems funny to me people are talking about how easily offended people are yet seem oddly offended at MS issuing an apology. Seems the folks who rant about special snowflakes are the most delicate.

Yeah, I’m sure this article is going to make more people do it despite it already being an obvious joke.

Are there any actual points of his that you can prove wrong or show him being misinformed or is it just bile you have to offer?

Everything would have a Poison sub-type.

Why censor yourself when you can just bank on folks to pay large sums of cash in the name of taking a stand against political correctness? Seemed to work well for the Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball folks.

I think it is more bullshit since this was never a major complaint for anybody before despite last gem having the same issue with Fennekin’s evolutionary line, yet few to none of the “it’s too feminine” claims like this generation.
