And women can exist and have nerdy passions that have nothing to do with whether they have a nerdy partner or not.

It’s a common conversation especially among online role-players. It’s along the same lines as do you enjoy erotica written by people of the same sex as you. The only people I’ve witnessed being bothered by it are the people who have put too much of them self into the character. In other words it’s not even a character…

Oh god, I actually owned this book back in college during the height of 3E D&D. Once I got it I realized there was no fucking way I was going to use any of that material in any game I ran or played. I bought it because I was a nerdy 20-year-old college student and thought it might be fun.

I think they should have inverted the process: Instead of ratcheting down the nudity for women, they should have ratcheted up the nudity on all sides.

Folks here are saying that isn’t always the case. This could very well have happened without the player’s knowledge.

What’s why using paypal to pay for these things is an awful idea. Paypal will often initiate bad charge backs for pretty much no reason only to reverse them later.

It’s not real money, it’s just part of the game!

Except to those with gambling addictions (or people who create gambling sites and then pretend like they don’t own it while shilling it TO people with gambling addictions) it is A LOT a lot of real money.

Same reason the US cares about gambling.

I’m generally fine with fan service.

I always tell my friends and family: More bricks. No shirts, or lifestyle items, or other cutesy shit. Don’t worry if I have the set already. If I really don’t want a second copy of that set, you’ve just given me a gift certificate to the Lego Store.

I dunno man, she should be allowed to use her computer to skype her grandkids and post embarrassing messages to her children’s FB walls without having to understand P2P torrenting, IP masking, etc.

This analogy would be accurate if you could only ever buy one burger.

Yeah, but next week you can go back to McDonalds and buy another, identical burger. The same can’t be said about these games. Once you die, that’s it.

So does Interstella 5555 not count as anime, then?

“We were simply saying ‘This belongs elsewhere,’ like if you posted about classical music in /r/gaming,”

I’m pretty sure intent can define whether a law was broken or not. Like there’s a legal distinction between murder and accidental manslaughter.

What am I doing wrong as a female gamer that always plays a female character to not get offered free goods for services?!!

Man I went into reading this thinking I knew exactly how it was going to go and I was wrong. The questions were good questions that got good answers. I don’t 100% support Cooks agenda but I understand and respect it. She doesn’t mind that fan service exists and doesn’t want it banned or to shun people who like it, she…

Perfect for when the Covenant come our way.
