I've started combatting this sort of stupidity in my day-to-day life by checking every single idiot who excuses rape with a bullshit excuse. It started with my dad, who is normally wonderful, making some sort of, "She was asking for it," remark, which I followed up by an acid, "Oh, and was I?" and some reminders about…

I'm actually currently a Game Art student, and my entire first year (and much of my upcoming second year) involves Foundations and Core classes - and that includes things like Life Drawing 1 and 2, both of which puts a *heavy* emphasis on anatomy. It's one thing to have stylized drawings - but they have to start…

'course, referring to women as "females" doesn't exactly help your case either.

Or the alternate title....

I think it means they met when she was 9, and now she's 11...

I'm so sick of these articles coming almost entirely from the perspective of straight males.

The women bloggers on this site are telling me that all games should include and please absolutely everyone in regards to gender, race and sexual preference. So I'm calling you out Kotaku. You guys need to do the same!

If…

This artist is sexist unless we can get an equal amount of Disney princes in their female counterpart dresses.

I think it's less in trouble about women and more in trouble about their total bullshit excuse. "re-do all the animations?" What, does Arno not sway his hips and jiggle his tits enough that you can't just transfer them over?

People aren't mad because Assassin's Creed doesn't have women, they're mad because Ubisoft lied about how difficult it would be to add women. I think the Far Cry 4 team was more honest, and I can't see them receiving the same blow back. I'd bet a couple bucks that Far Cry 5 has women, as conciliatory as that sounds.

Well I'm bored of people like you seeming to think that not representing 51% of the population and 49% of gamers is a good idea.

I mean, it's not unusual that people in rights-based activism to be angry. I think people reflexively concluded "I'm a man, you must hate me" (the original #notallmen)

Which is why I don't claim the label. If a women chooses to call me a feminist, I won't argue, but I don't feel like it's mine to take.

I can tell you specifically in the 70s and 80s when politicians were putting forth that narrative—that feminism was just a way for shrill, man-hating lesbians to bully decent American families. My mother was very active in NOW and I had adults asking me if I needed help because my mother was a lesbian and might be…

Oh well if a sexist dude agrees that men can't be feminists, you, wait, what exactly are you trying to prove here?

you mean teaching men about feminism and issues that face women makes them more sensitive to those issues?? wow! so if we taught them not to rape, they might not? mind = blown!

TR: Sure! I'll be happy to turn over incriminating evidence that would ruin my career and potentially send me to prison.

I would add that our culture also glorifies bullying.

My satire brings all the trolls to the yard...
