"I mean...who's been doing that? Have you seen a lot of serious critics saying, "Oh, I think they put those strippers in Hitman because they're all actually a bunch of secret misogynists." "

You're gonna have to be more specific because not everyone agrees with you on western culture.
Would you define being vulnerable as lacking the experiences and exposure that would make one less susceptible to that influence?
"I think the author's intent is important...when you're talking about the author's intent. If they say "I put this in because of this", well, then that's (usually) a pretty definitive statement as to their intent."
And those "really bad misogynist that know a number of women", are you of the opinion that they became misogynists in their 20s after playing the same games and watching the same movies that are enjoyed by millions of their peers?
Except the intent of the artist cannot be irrelevant if you are making claims about their reasons behind creative decisions.
I would think the intentions of the artists are quite important when you're attempting to explain why something in their work exists in their work. You can say that something exists in a game for the sake of sick sexual pleasure and be ignorant of another reason it could exist.
"I think it was a joke at the expense of the art, which is both endemic of and harmful to society's view of women. " Except neither of those things are proven, and there's no way that supposed potential danger could apply to the women in the game but not men. I think having a basic level of respect for an artist is…
Ahh you got it recently. I really like doki doki universe and I like how it is on vita but It's not at all a game for everybody. I can imagine borderlands 2 putting a bad taste in your mouth, especially if you played the console version, and muramasa is good not great to me, fez is also good but not great, but none of…
I'm very used to console gaming, but I was sure I would like the vita. A lot of console gamers can't deal with the hit in graphics and controls, which is why handhelds skew much more towards casual gamers and kids. If you don't mind me asking what did you play on the Vita? And what made it feel hard to get into?
I'm not a mobile gamer either, because I don't have a smartphone anymore lol, but before that I only played triple town. The biggest thing keeping mobile gaming alive, is that it's the biggest install base ever, because everyone needs a phone. I don't think too highly of the market but I don't necessarily have a…
"It's saying that their are unintended consequences. "
STAT | 70% – Amount that iOS game revenue has risen in Q2 2014 compared to Q2 2013, according to analytics firm App Annie; Game revenue for handheld consoles fell 28% over the same time period."
Intention is a big deal when you are making assumptions about them being hateful people or people expressing hateful ideas. It's incredibly easy for you to say an artist intended whatever you want, if they aren't allowed to say what they actually intended. The truth is you don't know the reality of the development, or…
Strength is a character trait. Like "sexy". Part of what makes them as a character.
They are asking them to "consider what their art is saying/doing" to what end? Do you think they intend for developers to say "yeah okay got it!" and then go back to making the same stuff? Of course not they want certain things to stop, that's why they sometimes go as far as disrespecting the people who make them. Do…
I never said critique is censorship, I said the idea that certain works of art, or even certain "Trends" in art is so inherently dangerous that they need to be stopped and people need to be protected from them is the perspective and idea that drives censorship. Which is why people respond to it like censorship,…
I never challenged their journalistic integrity. I was attempting to express what drives gamergate.
You're talking as if anyone has to be at fault at all, like something has been done wrong. Which is kind of expressing those negative ideas about sex that you claimed not to have.
Loving games that you love isn't enough for me to say that you respect games as a whole and art. To me it's how you talk about the games that you don't like, that don't necessarily agree with your perspective.
