Buddy, whatever else I might be, one thing I absolutely am not is “well-credentialed.”

who would have thought that the Assassin’s Creed franchise would be breaking new ground by just not releasing games?

Perhaps the concern is it being misrepresented?

There is no justifiable reason for this to exist except if you’re a pedo that wants to sexually congress with children.

How long until people start blaming SJWs for this as well?

Well, considering the entire game - every game - is designed around the perceived reaction of external influences, it seems pretty legit.

So basically “We showed personal discretion and for many reasons made our own changes to the game to make it more like we want it to be, as hundreds of game devs have done for decades.”

Add this to the pile labeled “beloved franchises that would be a great fit for the Wii U that Nintendo won’t make”. It’ll fit nicely alongside F-zero and Metroid Prime.

“...but I don’t read the gender ratio of the judges as intentional exclusion that would compel me to protest the awards.”

While I admit Jeffery Veregges’ art is not the most conducive to comics, I am disappointed that the only roll they where able to find for him is as a cover artist, I am also very disappointed that the only book Marvel could think of to put a Native character as it’s lead is a Western. We exist beyond that one singular…

“SHE’S TOO IMPORTANT TO INTRODUCE AS A SIDE CHARACTER!”

So much ambivalence about under-represented peoples taking the spotlight. Obviously it’s great to see Marvel give a native comic hero a shot - but it’s also incredibly disappointing if that hero is just a shallow caricature of nature-loving tropes. One extremely harmful theme in media is the ever-present generic…

Sorry, no price, you need to build in “feminists” and “SJWs” to win the bullshit bingo.

It’s possible to have opinions about things that aren’t for you.

I have to say the most surprising thing I read in this whole article was the inflammatory “#SJW nonsense” used by Play Asia in their tweet. I won’t be buying from them again.

It’s just savvy marketing.

Well, yeah, that’s the entire Gamergate platform in a nutshell.

It’s just unfortunate that Lucas even created the Rule of Two. It didn’t exist before the prequels. There’s no suggestion of it in any of the EU and still isn’t a thing in The Old Republic. We could all just, as a fandom, pretend it isn’t a thing if the writers are just going to use loopholes like “Oh, if they aren’t…

But your first instinct wasn’t to say, “This does nothing for me,” or “This seems lazy,” it was to go after the work because it tackled gender divisions through humor. Then you say there’s “nothing wrong with that”, while adding the backhanded remark that you’re sure there are “people who find that funny.”
