It’s easier to make a point when you cherry-pick examples that support it and ignore context. That happens a lot in political articles/videos. See Sarkeesian’s videos for a good (bad?) example of that.

There’s nothing borderline about it. Those people are pushing so hard for others to join them because, whether they’re conscious of it or not, they depend on new people buying in so they can cash out. It’s a straight-up Ponzi scheme.

While obesity definitely shouldn’t be “demonized”, as you say no one wants to be that way, it’s still a bad thing, so it certainly shouldn’t be praised either. On an individual basis we can provide support to the fat people in our lives, but as a whole, humanity would never have reached our current level of technical…

Every time I see Smeagol from Lord of the Rings, I think of a time where an extremely skinny person is poorly represented. As a thin activist, these representations in video games makes me sick.

Yeah, but I disagree. Bob is actually never really made fun of outside of the food-named moves. But even that isn’t so much supposed to be making fun of him, I don’t think (though, I would agree it’s highly questionable and probably inadvisable.) His whole schtick is that he found he was actually a much better and fast…

“I don’t use a computer to read web content, and my friends don’t use computers to read web content, therefore nobody does”

She also expressed her feelings to him the next day. He heard her out and apologized. I see no reason to doubt the sincerity of his apology. His statement on the matter affirms that he took her words to heart.

For most people it’s about bodies as much as minds. Eva Green is one of the most attractive people on the planet, but if she had her brain transplanted into the body of a goat I wouldn’t sleep with her.

Great essay! Want to touch on a couple of things:

he was low tier in 4 not because people didnt know how to fight him. if that were the case blanka players would have placed consistently higher.

So can we expect this website to tirelessly promote this movie like Ghostbusters, and insist after the fact that it was great even though almost everyone agrees it was terrible?

Americans had that opportunity during the 2016 election. Americans have this opportunity at virtually every election. Your fellow Americans chose a Republican House, Senate, and Presidency.

Probably less “who gives a shit” and more “We’re writing a combat simulation, not an anatomy simulation, so we’re not putting effort into biophysical simulation and texture modelling two sexes when the core game functionality is the same for both.”

I think people knew it would run like garbage since it was announced. The game is still a buggy mess on PC. I feel like Fortnite is going to replace PUBG for a lot of people.

IRRC, the default PUBG models were actually premade assets purchased early on in the development cycle. They weren’t developed in-house. So it’s not so much as there is a design team with no women, it’s that early on in Alpha this was probably one of only a handful of models that fit the technical requirements needed,…

Jesus, this broken record again. 9__9

No Danny DeVito, no buy >:(.

I loved Tidus when I was younger, because I felt like I related. Largely because I was also a child, probably. I didn’t see much else happening.

Yes, Cable and Batgirl annoy the fuck out of me. But I don’t blame the player, unlike you. They use the tools the devs give them. Bad balance doesn’t make evil player.

I think that’s a “chicken or egg” situation, kinda.
