I'm saying that data is more than "women play games." We are aware of that. What games are they playing? How long are they playing? How likely are they to buy DLC? There are a ton of questions that can be answered with the correct data, and you can bet that these are questions that marketing people know a lot of…

And that's my point: calling them "female characters" is sort of a misnomer. I mean, okay, when was the last time you heard someone say, "That was a really strong blonde character." See, the adjective implies that's something important, right? But if we say that being female is unimportant, we aren't aren't…

Ah, so not only a white knight, but a self righteous white knight. Excellent.

That 46% needs to get analyzed. Not that it isn't correct, but what it actually means. Because if that 46% is all smartphone games, then AAA games are never going to be touched. That's why statistics are funny. They can mean a lot of things, and it relies a lot on interpretation.

Studied and surveys I've seen…

Also, awesome name, Nod-to-Shadowrun.

In regards to Warframe, though, none of the playable characters are...characters. They have no personalities. They just have boobs, if they are female-bodied. It means literally nothing. It's not like the "male" Frames have cocks, they just have a stereotypical "male" build to…

Do you know how many feminists would be pissed off if the gender of a character would be decided by a coin toss? So many!

Cliché. The word you are looking for is cliché.

Also, you have to understand that, for the most part, as much as you may think (and seem to believe) otherwise, gaming is very much still a visual medium. Story is a way for mechanics and genres to make sense, but story is very rarely at the forefront, except in RPGs,…

No, I flat out called you a white knight. Period.

By your logic, it would also make sense to see men in video games portrayed differently than they currently are. They are not. The feminist bullshit idea of the Male Power Fantasy means very little unless you assume that all men are the same. I'm going to assume you aren't so thick-witted as to say that, let's…

You are making a gross assumption about how she feels about her appearance, mon petit chevalier blanc. You paternalistic protective qualities are quite adorable. I'm sure she'd be flattered.

Wait, so you can't attack the character of a con artist and a liar? That's interesting. Then again, I guess that would explain why we have so many successful politicians. I'll allow it. Carry on!

You do realize that tropes (in the idiotic way it's come to mean) is necessary for conveying information, right? I mean, that's sort of how stories work. Because, strangely enough, there are only so many stories that can be told, and what Anita has spectacularly failed to realize that even when she rips of Count of…

If that were completely true, there wouldn't be a huge prevalence of the the more traditional fantasy armors available via mods. Skyrim didn't make a huge difference between male and female armor (of course by the same token, it also made few enough concessions between races, so...take that for what it's worth) but…

Let's see...Whoever said you were outraged? "So it's all kinds of wrong." So, the answer would be you? Outrage might be a strong word, but let's say "vehement disagreement." Unless "all kinds of wrong" means that you are not finding offense with it?

It's not that I care about defending a scantily-clad sniper. What…

Which is more hasty, me saying that people are knee jerking about rape with no source other than their own outrage, or people who are looking for an excuse to hate Quiet based on how she looks and dresses?

Like I said, you provide a source other than, "I think I might have read it somewhere," then we're in business,…

I think MGS has always had very...sensual characters, for lack of a better term. Some are outright sexy, but there's always a definite physical nuance to them that many game designs seem to lack.

That's why Quiet doesn't bother me. Kojima was the first person to put an attractive female with unshaven arms in a game…

Only response to that last line:

Very sexually designed. Dat beard!

But seriously, I think are referring to Boss and...

Source? Seriously, people. Nothing has been officially revealed about her past except that she can't talk. Knee-jerking to make it look like Kojima is doing something terrible is really sort of asinine.

Vamp would like to have a word with you.
