Think you mean “fap fap fap”

Is it ok to be against rape but still think this sucks

I’m loving it, its not as good as Postal but the rampages are epic. The media coverage of this game is sensationalism as its finest. Glad to hear its a top seller!

Where were you when Christina Hoff Summers got the same treatment?

“allowed to have different feminist beliefs”. Really? Different beliefs are only allowed when they are feminist? The brain users salute you oh censor of ours.

I really wish we (Americans on both the left and the right) could stop referring to college feminists, evangelicals, and whichever other group is currently being obnoxious as “the American Taliban”. I lived in Afghanistan for a few years. The Taliban buries gay people under walls. The Taliban beheads people who…

No. Can’t tolerate different viewpoints and it’s not just the consent stuff, they also want trigger warnings and to police professors and what they can and can’t teach, lest these delicate flowers be exposed to any form of thinking that doesn’t mesh 100% with their ideology. They’re like the feminist taliban.

“I was wearing biohazard armor before it was cool.”

No, even though I recognize the feminist movement is strong on the internet, replacing the main character of a nearly 20 year old franchise for no other reason than to “represent” Would not be a good idea. Or even a sort of bad idea.

This guy gets it. Shame the internet is so unforgiving when it comes to nuanced opinions.

Except it wouldn’t be great.

Is Gordon Freeman too much of a masculine cis-oppression figure for this new touchy feely age of SJW self-fellatio?

It's irrelevant in that neither character is defined by their gender for the vast majority of their existence, which is fantastic. They're male/female respectively, but their maleness/femaleness never defines who they are as characters, its their actions that define them as characters.

They don't seem to have much faith in a new, compelling female character. So gender swap a male one.

I have zero problem with LoZ having a female protagonist, but genderswapping Link is a really lazy way to do it. Just use Zelda for once, also takes a shot at that whole damsel thing everyone's getting angry about.

Remember when gaming writers were defending Mass Effect 3's ending and saying that games have artistic integrity and shouldn't be changed by popular demand?

You don't know the 18 or 14 year old in question. You have no idea where they're at in terms of social and emotional maturity. You have no right to say it's wrong based on how *you* would feel. They are not you. You are not them.

I would normally agree, but child stars emotionally and mentally mature much more quickly than standard kids. And people who are in similar life situations tend to be drawn to one another. I don't really think it is so terrible - it is the equivalent of a high school freshman dating a high school senior.
