What would my signal look like, do you think? How would you represent Ethics in signal form, besides a mouth screaming at Females?

"... you should deal with your being an asshole, and fix it."

I feel so bad for this guy. He's completely right to hop off Twitter. He's another victim of this "grow a thicker skin" horseshit that I've seen perpetuate the internet since before tweens discovered 4chan.

Kurt Vonnegut would disagree with you.

Actually it's the other way around. I often find it's those who think less of someone for using profane words are the ones that are childish.

Also, why not have difficulty levels players can pick like almost any other game? Why not give the players that choice?

You're missing part of the point of the Souls' games stories. The worlds that these characters inhabit are incredibly hostile. They're dangerous. Your role as the protagonist DOES NOT MAKE YOU SAFE. Simply because you are the player character means nothing in a Souls game; you are every bit as prone to death as your…

Because that's how people talk these days, adults included. They're writing blog posts about video games, they're not trying to win a Pulitzer Prize.

Phrasing.

I am surprised it was "change" and not "take all our games away" like she actually wants!

I make games, so you really don't need to tell me about 'the hard part'.
And there is no 'promise of economic benefit' in any game. Games are inherently risky endeavors. What you're alluding to though, is that making games with fair representation are riskier than making the same sexualized crap, which I just don't…

When I have children, and if I have a girl, I want her to enjoy video games and not ask me "Daddy, why is that lady wearing almost nothing?" I don't want her to see men treating women like property. This is my daughter. She will not be raised with that mentality: that women are weaker and are for show.

Let's start with your opening sentence: "The problem is some group will always complain." There's a lot wrong there. First of all, why does that mean that we should take no complaints seriously? I mean, if a couple of nuts complain about some really odd issue, you can probably ignore them, but that doesn't mean…

It's not a ridiculous argument. She's saying too often game developers don't use any imagination when it comes to female characters in games. There's a male hero (or heroes), and 1 woman, and her job is to have sex with the male hero, or get kidnapped or killed so the male hero can rescue her/get revenge. She's not…

One day, a guy like you might think to ask a lady what she thinks is sexy, instead of claiming what a sexualized man does or doesn't look like. One day. We can only wish.

Yes! And if they do make their own games, we will yell at them to stop! Fight on, Ethical Hero.

I'm not sure the concerns of potentially stifling creative work apply when "sexy female enemy" "helpless woman" are extremely common trophes. That is to say, she's arguing for less of the status quo...and if the response is "BUT MY CREATIVITY," well...hate to break it to the developer, but those specific ideas aren't…

The sexualization isn't for women however. Studies have shown that when men are ripped and buff, it's not appealing to women, it's appealing to men who uphold that as the ideal image of a man.

Lots of people who are not assholes do.

The fact that this has any stars at all is so deeply and profoundly concerning to me.
