yeah, like, i find it extremely disempowering to think of MY WOMB AS HOME TO THE DIVINE lol, that sounds awful

So glad that Jia pointed out that periods don't need to be sacred hippy-dippy bullshit to be regarded as something normal and not shameful. Ghod, I hate hippy-dippy bullshit. But the secrecy around periods is profoundly misogynistic - and, talking about our periods is HILARIOUS AND GREATLY TO BE ENCOURAGED.

Fill them with existential dread that their lives are meaningless when they misbehave?

Sorry to be a party pooper, but I think it's rude to have sex in the back of a cab. The driver is just trying to do his job, and you have no idea if your activities are making him uncomfortable. It's pretty dehumanizing to say "the space of the cab" enabled your threesome and go at it like the driver isn't even there.…

YES. I find it incredibly disrespectful. Either the driver will have to stop to clean the cab and lose fares, or the next passengers will be sitting in your sex juice. Barf.

I'll never forget going to the nursing home to sing for the old people, and looking for my mom's acquaintance. She was 35. She'd been diagnosed with a devastating neuro-degenerative disease, and he up and left her with no other family, so she had to live in the nursing home with the 90 year olds.

"Well, same question reverse: Why do you care about game tits? They're just pixels on a TV. Play the game. Don't look at the women."

Yes, it's me and not the guy I was responding to who was talking about enjoying a fake woman's tits. Or the Gaters threatening numerous females who are making a suggestion that some games could possibly consider making an effort to make their games more female friendly. You fucking idiots act like Anita or anyone has…

He was quoting Princess Bride, but I'm sure you just didn't ever watch it because it's got a girly name.

That's the point; you can get anything you want on Google, so why do people care if a few pixels on a TV screen are of a normal looking woman instead of a Barbie doll? I play games to play games, not get my dick hard; that's what real, live breathing women can provide. The fact that you get off checking out video game…

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

Thanks for your concern! I'll let my soul know that some dudebro on the internet is worried about it!

Because it reduces a human (or character) to an object of desire instead of a legit entity in and of herself. "Sexy" is not the same as "sexualized" either, understand. Characters can be attractive but not a sexual object. I mean, it's right there in the term, "object."

Stop cherry picking. The whole point of her argument is that if there is a female character, and usually that is a big if, they are almost always designed to be super sexy. She's saying to make more diverse types. Try flexing your creative muscle and design a character beyond teenage fantasies.

Women are not here on earth to appeal to hetereosexual men, that is the crux. It's even bigger than video games, if you can grasp that concept

He's just calling a strawman, a strawman.

She wants more diversity in the types of female characters, how do you not understand that. That means she wants more than just sexy ones. Not that she wants no sexy ones ever.

Was this sarcasm?
If not, I think you just proved my point...
