"For all their style, creativity, and deep variety, Super Mario Bros. 2 and 3 weren’t vastly different than the original Super Mario Bros." - Uh, Super Mario Bros 2 is incredibly different to the other games in the series; it wasn't even originally a Mario game… It involves lots of back-tracking and weirdness that…

don't see how someone can look at a promotional item, selling a
specific game, that is obviously sexist and not come to the conclusion
that the game its promoting is probably also sexist.

It is my understanding (and I'll freely say that I am far more familiar with video games than comics) that the diversity of comics (of which there'd be good, bad, and indifferent examples) suffered expressly because of CCA's implementation.

You make a good point about c. lighting techniques, and how that impacts the portrayal of the actors on screen.

Having played the games out-of-sequence (1 > 3 > 2) it has to be Mario Bros 2… I mean yeah, I know now that it was a completely different game shoe-horned into the franchise with a lick of paint on top, but its mechanics are just so incongruous!

I'd imagine that after you spent a long rambling post incorrectly pidgeonholing me as right-wing; after repeatedly using race and gender in a derogatory fashion; and after inadvertently calling Gone Home sexist you have indeed found talking to me "troublesome"…

I can't say I'm an expert on the biographies of any of those people - and I'd certainly say that Jesus is a tough sell given that I'm not convinced he was actually a real person.

So, let me get this straight.
Because you got butt-hurt arguing with idiots, that means that when you behave in precisely the same manner as they do you're magically absolved from all blame?

I most certainly think that sexism exists in the modern era. I think there's some cases where it is both blatant and undeniable (for example wage parity).

Being reasonable is where you apply logical reasoning to objective facts in a rational manner.

Yep, that's the best I've got.

Well, glad that is somewhat cleared up.

and cue the smart-mouth who marginalises contradictory viewpoints as trolling, even when the argument is clear, concise, cast-iron and discrete.

"people DO write about sexism in movies. like, all the time."

*correction: "The Period Monster" said that; confusion on both ends seems to have arisen due to me accidentally posting out-of-sequence - and being accused of a strawman there, rather in the subsequent post aimed at the other user; as mentioned in previous post.

Beside the point of the topic?

Strawmen?

"she's looking at the intersection between game worlds and the objectification of women. and hitman has an example of that."

*whoops, posted out of sequence, my bad.

Yes and no. Fair game as in "it's there, so it can be discussed"; but not fair game in that it is peevish to focus undue criticism on what can ultimately be a superficial tangential aspect of the experience.
