It was a huge controversy...in the gaming world. Full stop. It was reported in one place outside of the gaming community, and that was Forbes, which does this weird dabbling thing from time to time. The YouTubers thing? Again, that was like...a week of coverage, and outside of the greatly incestuous "we got it…

Oh, wait, so you had to correct the view of the ignorant about your hobby? Damn. That sucks. I have to do that about sexuality. I have to do that about my lifestyle. I have to do that about my other hobbies.

But seriously, did you apparently ignorant parents also ask you how much you donated to Child's Play? Did…

The last time a conversation about games journalism happened was 2007. There was a lot of pearl-clutching, and then it just stopped. The conversation, that is, not what was going on that caused the reporter from Gamespot to get hired. The games-creation/publication industry is dictating the flow of information (as…

Sure I can, and I did. Pretty easily. Then again, again all I have to do is observe the conversations going on to see that it's still very much about tribalism, and there's nothing you or anyone else can do that will "elevate" that. Also, I've noticed you've not done a lot of swaying, so how's that elevation going?

Go back and read the articles. GG is blamed wholecloth for what happens, and that's the issue, and that's always the issue in situations like this. I mean, the media backlash with "gamers are dead" is pretty much the same ideological attack, attacking the concept of an identity (which is one of the dumbest things in…

How is it a straw man? I can point you to proof of the statements made by these women about why they don't call themselves feminists, and the virtiolic, ad hominem attacks by feminists back at them. That is pretty much textbook definition ideological bullying, "Tow the line, or you are an idiot." I mean, unless…

So, you approve of ideological bullying? Well, that's refreshingly honest. It's good to know that feminism apparently adheres to belief of, "You follow us or risk censure."

Start a new movement. Right. Start a new movement on the internet where there is no kind of accountability, no kind of checks, no kind of monitoring. You know, if you are going to throw out stupid and impossible "solutions" why not tell GG to find a dragon to cull their ranks because that is just as likely. Keep…

It's sort of like feminists who are all up in arms against womenagainst feminism, right? Because the most popular retort is, "Well, if it wasn't for feminism, you wouldn't have the right to vote!" It's like a black man staunchly voting Republican because Republicans are the ones that ended slavery. Sure, they were…

Because the same thing will happen. It's pretty much inevitable. Any positive message that GG has is, unfortunately, mired in its identity, and the negative is what's trotted out as "proof" that GG and NYS are all about the hatred of women. Because, you know, the internet totally is a place where individuals are…

So...Sociology 101? Did you have a point, or were you just giving me a summary of the previous semester's syllabus? Regardless, no one wants to elevate this conversation. I mean, that's been one of the largest contentions. As in most discussions, moderates are drowned out. For the most part, this is just…

I've never had a problem understanding AC. It's not that complex. Ah well. I'm sure there's some pixel indie platfomer to play where the goal is simply getting from point A to point B.

If I recall, isn't one of the conceits of the game that she (and her sister) get more powerful the more blood they absorb, so having less clothes on means they get more skin to blood contact. Or maybe I'm misremembering that.

I disagree, we are entirely getting out of this without each other because there is no "us" within the context of the crusaders. Remember? Gamers are over. These are the people that have drawn the lines and made it very clear about doing so. Given that context, it's convenient to know who is an ally and who is an…

Because SJWs. If they don't get their daily dose of pandering, they wither away.

Uh...no. Not they don't. Male characters fit into one of two molds, and the second only exists in Eastern games.

The salt is so real!

Everyone wants to play the chubby girl with self-esteem issues and sensible shoes, obviously.

I dunno, I've seen some pretty awful comments by Jezebel basement dwellers concerning male rape. And yes, I've seen it said a number of times that, "Men can't be raped," which I suppose is different than calling it a myth, since it's outright denial that it's possible. I even saw one lovely state that even if men…

As long as we are on the same page page as to where the bullshit starts. You don't have to state, "Some people think," or, "I personally believe," to make things understandably known as the opinion of the presenter, which is one of those things in her presentation, she does not do. It is a sticking point with many…
