That’s not entirely fair. Some of us enjoy the concept of the character, regardless of breast size. I suspect that demographic has a lot of crossover with people who preferred the Misfits to the Holograms. 

Also, Nintendo would have given her petticoat underwear and not modern underwear.

If i were buying a Tesla, i would opt for the All-Weather package, unlike these two cheapskates.

“Well the back fell off.”

Or, these types of articles work to delegitimize trans identities and experiences among allies and potential allies, thus reducing safety for all trans people and making it easier for fascists to harm trans folks with no protection from allies.

The fact that they toss out around the word “groupthink” so freely while ensconced in a secret, private listserv where they happily jerk each other off about how great they are is pretty much the epitome of the problem.

Every single time we make a stride towards some form of gender unity in this community it gets massively undercut by some assholes who think it’s somehow an invasion of their turf.

Open world games are a different beast because of what it takes to actually run one. Vice City looked like shit even compared to other PS2 games, so the fact GTA IV looks way better isn’t surprising, but the caveat to that is the GTA IV didn’t look nearly as good as other games that came out around the same time. And…

I’m not trying to undersell the jump, but it certainly wasn’t as jarring. I’m not sure how long you’ve been gaming, but if you’re old enough, you might recall that the jump from SNES to N64 was absolutely rectum shattering. And then, even if you took the best looking N64 game, it didn’t come anywhere close to Rogue…

I mostly agree with your point, but I think you’re underselling the jump from PS2/Xbox to PS3/Xbox 360 quite a bit - the leap in graphics quality was obviously much less immediately apparent than in the previous console transition, but the amount of freedom developers gained in creating worlds and characters led to…

but it is an imbalance.

Well put, aside from the obvious fact that GOD DOESNT WRITE ERRONEOUS CODE. Everyone knows this and those that don’t, well they can go to hell. —CC

People are going to start making a lot of excuses for this, and that’s fine. I think it’s fair to point out that some of this discussion is premature since we barely know anything about her and how the game will deal with her being trans, if she is.

“oh someone else will get him”

The vast majority of people out there seem to only focus on the center of their screen.

More like Mercy was like “oh someone else will get him” or “oh, here comes our Junkr-oh dammit”.

Personally I think this article was worth it. I don’t read it as another “TLJ is divisive and okay” at all. I feel like that completely misses your point, which is meaningful and shines a light on one of the main problems with so much genre fiction...characters aren’t allowed to fade and die in ways that gel at all…

I liked both the new movies. To me, they were both a new generation’s story. We were lucky enough to see our old generation’s last story. The first movie gave Han his end, the second Luke, and the third I assume would have given Leia her ending had Carrie Fisher lived. The way Disney treated Carrie Fisher by giving…

We know it won’t be the last Star Wars film, but obviously will be the end for this particular storyline.

Sometimes it feels like the bulk of human effort is put into denying this simple fact.
