This has more plot than the original Destiny storyline.

Next "expansion": Kill 10 Hive Majors with a shotgun... From behind... 10 times!

Guess you gotta break the game's monotony somehow...

You're doing good work, but you're rebutting someone so invested in being perceived as a straight man that their online nickname is "VagEnthusiast."

cant blame yah Luke, maybe it'll be worth getting when GOTY comes out; These are amazing, the 1st one looks like this minus Lord Shaxx's fur

It's almost as if there is no winner's line with trolly bastards...

Holy SHIT! Women can have different opinions on the same thing?!? They can disagree with each other?!?!?

Yes, some of the male gaze criticism of Bayonetta is superficial. So is criticism that says Bayonetta is okay because a woman designed it as a strong female role.

It is a great article for a few reasons. It unpacks the (decades old) jargon like "male gaze" and suggests interpreting characters without assuming that straight males are the only ones who have designed and played them. It gives an interesting perspective on what she finds compelling about Bayonetta - our tastes may…

There's nothing wrong with "men liking certain things", except...

One: that's kind of reductive, and assumes that all (or even most) men are a hive-mind about this sort of thing. In my experience, that's not really the case
Two: we can like things that are nonetheless kind of harmful. Someone was going to see all those…

There is nothing wrong with it, even if its done a lot. There's nothing wrong with a fictional sexualized objectified powerless female, in any way. Its a legitimate choice to make.

Empress, you are so much better than these feebs you're arguing with, it's stunning. You have more grit than I do. Hats off to you.

My god, you have the patience of a saint. Salute!

If there's nothing she can do, why do you give enough of a shit to write a long, rambling post about it? Are you scared us girl gamers are gonna mess with your boy toys?

But that's the thing: the presence of all that other stuff doesn't somehow negate the bits she talks about. The question isn't "Is there other stuff in the game?", because there ALWAYS is. There's always going to be some justification, some reason why X is there in the game.

When looking at larger trends, though, it…

"Cherry pick data"? If you're referring to Sarkeesian's videos, that's...not what's going on. Like, at all. Unless, of course, you want to argue that a huge chunk of academic cultural and media criticism is "cherry picking data".

And everyone has a political agenda. Choosing not to talk about this stuff is political;…

I wish they kept the idea that weapons have no level requirements, and apply it to armor too. Why can't I wear level 18 boots just because I'm level 17?! They're boots! I know how to wear a friggin' boot!

I think it's less disliking "sexy" than disliking "tasteless" or demeaning presentations of characters.

Finally, here's Final Fantasy World Wide Words, a mobile spinoff where you write sentences and try not to make any Type-0s.
