Okay, I stopped halfway through the first paragraph. Now you're just wasting my time. Go be oblivious with someone else.

Then again, you don't know what you're talking about.

I don't really care, they're like two, three left in the world, decreasing. I'm not that threatened. #sarcasm

I mentioned game covers because you were talking about reaching a wider audience and I'm thinking of the average consumer who might be in a store, see a game's cover and take a look at it.

It's not detestable, it's just so painstakingly obvious. "For argument's sake", like you say, her cheekbones have freaking disappeared. I don't much care about the tank top, even though the reason why that is is very obvious as well.

Oh, the fact that she's a woman is completely irrelevant, sure.

Hm, so, you didn't seem to disagree with (or even engage with) my point so I'll just reiterate it: framing. Framing is everything in silent protagonists.

I just don't get #2. Why not sexualize woman armor? Why not sexualize man armor as well? Why not sexualize everything? Why aren't all video games characters sexy and almost naked all the time?

You're kind of entirely wrong about that.

But if I get defensive about it, if I start blaming, not even her but a misunderstanding on both our parts... you know how that would sound. I couldn't even express my frustration about the situation without sounding like the bad guy. I don't want to be the kind of person who blames the victim.

Yes, people come here for contrasting different viewpoints, but that doesn't make them all equally valid. If an opinion is terrible –as yours is, not because of wickedness or stupidity, but a perfectly excusable lack of consideration and understanding for my experience, that is caused by having been on the easy end of…

Jesus Christ, woman. Are you also the kind of person to belittle depressed people by telling them to get over themselves?

Now you're just arguing with yourself. Didn't say half the stuff you credit me for. Here's a hint: being yourself and being flirty are not opposed because that's not what people mean when they say "just be yourself".

I don't feel like I have to add anything. If I'm butthurt, it's rather because your attitude encourages the despise of so many people (men and women alike) that seek out help because they don't feel confident to even start flirting and there is nothing worse than the pathetic argument "just be yourself, lol dating is…

Okay, this is entirely false and you clearly have no idea what "flirting" entails.

Right, that was the kind of comment I rallied up against.

She gave so little hints, to this day I still can't be a hundred percent sure she's telling the truth. And that's horrible. What I just said amounts to "false accusation of rape", and I can't believe I would ever accuse a woman of that.

Officer, I happen to work here, so this restraining order on my ex technically doesn't apply. And why do you mean performance art isn't a real job?!

And so what? The people that take it seriously (and happen to interest you) end up being your relationship partners? Sex happens to you because you intentionally or not cast the widest freaking net?

Well, uh, sure. That one's obvious. Was that your point? I thought your point was the same as those boring "All conscious attempt at flirting is awful and disgusting, all relationship build up organically out of natural interaction between uninterested people because wanting sex is SHAMEFUL, YOU VICIOUS PIGS" PSA…
