He's wearing the white costume he wore when he was working with the Future Foundation. Besides that, Doom is less of a bad guy than, say, Cyclops right now...

Bomb threats are laughably common. When I was in middle school, our school received a total of two during the years I was there. At a middle school. The thing about threats like that is that a) it's very easy to make them and to do so in a way that minimizes the risk of getting caught and b) it's incredibly…

If you want to animate a CONVINCING female, then, yes, they do move that differently. If you want to half-ass it, then, you are correct. No, they don't. Feel free to half-ass away, person who apparently hasn't spent a lot of time actually watching humans move. Details matter, and you can say they don't, but they…

Pretty much, yeah. I mean, Anita is doing her thing. Good for her. She's not correct in most things, and the things she is correct about, she's blowing out of proportion, and she's not looking at things within context. She's a face, a manipulator, and in five years she'll be a footnote in the history of gaming,…

Oh? Are we doing character designs from CLAMP now?

I'm torn. I want this because it would match my 3DS exactly. On the other hand, this is the newer model, and I like the original...

I don't think it's the tone that would make it acceptable to my taste, it's the content. There is so much weirdness in the gaming industry, and the sites that report it. I'm very much reminded of previous moral outrages, where examples are trotted out for show and say, "Look at this abomination!" Right now, I see…

A lot of products are gender neutral, and then if the market research shows, "Hey, men don't buy very many bras," guess what they do? They stop marketing it to them. Weird how that works. Of course, there's a lot of cultural weirdness and perception that goes into it, but we are at a point now where rather than…

A complete picture? That's easy. It's the medium of gaming and, presumably, how it impacts and how it is impacted by culture. As for the strategy of "stratgic reductionism for sake of focus and clarity," that can be, and Anita has proven it to be, a slippery slope. Where do you start cutting? Is it when there are…

The you know what else the video wasn't explicitly about? Domestic violence. Do you see how you give allowance for one thing, but something that is a significant part of the same subject, you claim is derailing? You are absolutely right, she is talking about how women are represented in games, not about domestic…

Okay, a bit of irony here. We agree that media can have an affect (which is complex and a huge thing, but whatever) on our perceptions. So, Anita is a media presence. When she says, things that are intentionally one-sided (like the absolute ignoring of domestic violence as an entire issue, instead of a gender…

Well, considering her writing from school was the basis for her current work, it would seem to bear something with at least a passing relevance. Regardless, in that case Anita was looking at very explicit examples and then applying it to the overall concept of narrative and failing to do so. It has everything to do…

I thought the funny thing was you trying to be clever or have a point. Oh well.

DON'T TALK ABOUT PENISES YOU DISGUSTING CREEP! *snicker*

Really? You can do better than that. Call me a name again. You were so good at that! Made me really proud!

Awww...you are just adorable. Keep going. This is cute.

Capitalism isn't designed to include every group in every decision making process. Unless you think that I, as a male, should have a say in the decision making process of tampons. Or bras. Or any number of other things that are not targeted to me. I think you are confusing capitalism with some weird idealistic…

And when she launches into things, such as...second video I where she immediately goes from video game violence against women to how there is an epidemic of domestic violence in real life? And even that she skews in such a way to say that it only affects one gender.

And the very things you say she's not analyzing, she…

"Naughty bits." My, my...aren't we mature? Point made: I will be explicitly literal from now on when addressing people who might be a little...slow.

Her point is to frame her narrative in such a way is that the only conclusion is the one she presents. She leaves no room for thought or interpretation, instead she holds you hand through the presentation of what she believes to be an absolute truth, and that's why it's academically problematic. If she wanted to…
