It's great that she's getting her life back if this didn't work out for her, but even she accepts that there were things she did she's not proud of. I know plenty of current and former prostitutes in real life, male and female. This is basically exactly how they run their businesses. I don't make any judgments about…

What's interesting/annoying about it is how this tactic plays out when the scope is widened from "men" to "men of all sexual orientations." Because it's authors like this one who are the first to jump down someone's throat if someone assumes gays (hey that's me :) ) are generally rape-y toward OTHER MEN. They have no…

I agree with Meyer's assertion that she is basically feminist. Here's why: she allows people (principally women, but not solely) to indulge in their fantasies guilt-free, and basically tells anyone who doesn't like it to bug off.

Many of my bisexual (and bisexual-ish) girlfriends like Hooters. It's a safe environment for them. They can be flirtatious and usually the waitresses just think it's cute. I'm the gay guy tag along—I guess you could call me the "accessory gay." If it matters, several of my friends are ex-strippers and compared to that…

Wow will there be a lot of screeching if Jezebel readers ever Google "Mardi Gras Indians."

By "decisions actually matter" do you mean "accidentally misclick on a road with the bulldozer?"

Hey, folks saying the game doesn't need undo/the ability to reload a save: I guess you haven't seen what happens if you misclick a piece of a long street with building developments on it. The whole god damn city can come crashing down. It would be funny, if it were funny.

I propose limits on vegan food to make people stop and think they might turn into holier than thou food purists.

I think it's getting such a huge reaction because it is just so big brother and petty. We might as well just send a memo to the Republican party headquarters with a line that reads "Skewer us please."

Don't put this one on the conservatives; us liberals are our own worst enemies. Rather than, say, just not drink soda, we have to ban it. If protesting the ban seems petty, what does it say for people who support making an entire law for this? What a huge waste of resources. Absolutely ridiculous.

It doesn't require much planning at all. Why? Because time freezes in a zone when you leave it. So the only thing you really need to do is drop a bunch of infrastructure in one of your plots and then leave. You don't have to worry about balancing it over the long term.

I've read this article 2 or 3 times and still don't understand it. Is s/he being sarcastic? I really can't tell.

I think you are giving EA too credit. They are just throwing tech-y sounding spin and hoping their less technically experienced customers don't pick up on it.

No way is a centralized server handling calculations more efficiently than an individual computer would.

Why couldn't this guy have been MY teacher? :(

There are plenty of issues in video games. Here's the problem I have with this specific video: the games Sarkeesian reviews in this clip were developed in Japan. This is more than a slight oversight. It doesn't excuse whatever gender issues might exist in Japan, but it does mean it needs to be approached within the…

It might be important to acknowledge that most of the white looking characters (to Westerners) in Nintendo games are generally understood in Japan to be Asian.

I agree it does not make it above reproach, if reproaching Japanese culture was specifically on her agenda. But what is not acceptable scholarship is to simply gloss over the cultural difference completely. Sarkeesian does not even acknowledge the point that this material was intended for a Japanese audience and was…

The truly bizarre thing is she talks about Miyamoto and Nintendo but never explicitly says the games she's evaluating were written for a Japanese audience! That's more than a mere oversight. It's like talking about La Casa de Bernarda Alba like it was written in New Hampshire.

I agree that she shouldn't have been attacked on a personal level.
