The concept of “not cost viable” is almost completely negligible at this point because of digital distribution, which the vast majority of the most recent DoA game was.

The vocal people who have no interest in the game, but deride it because it exists are the problem, and that is a problem that affects a number of…

There’s been meaning here? If there is, it’s obfuscated behind...whatever it is you’ve put to the fore, because I’ve seen nothing that resembles meaning, simply a lot of dissembling and, “Grrr...sexy bad unless I say it’s good.” I can’t seem to be winning because, as I’ve already said, there is no “winning”…

No one is calling for bans outright, no one is calling for censoring outright, but there is no critique of skill or whether something is appropriate for its genre or whether it’s done well...the only “discussion” is whether it offends somebodies poor wittle sensibilities and how it is bad for doing so. There is no…

Can you Kotaku an article? This article is one big Kotaku.

It was pleasant. Have a good one.

I have no particular bias against those who hold oppositional views, except that those oppositional views tend to fall into a very narrow set of arguments which only hold up when viewed within the lens of their own context.

How do I get that? Extracting meaning from the vapor of nuance, of course. The constant and…

Comics have had an exaggerated depiction of humanity, period. That’s both good and bad and it cuts across gender and culture. The hyperbole makes for good stories, but nuance is lost, and it paints in broad (teehee) strokes. I mean, because from what I’m gathering here, you believe that comics only show a fair and…

And yet Simone (who I loathe) didn’t change her outfit. Because there is more to the character than that. And, as I said, if you or anyone else thinks that the costume is the sum total of the character, that onus is on you.

Also, the concept of something of value/worth that can only be given or obtained by those that…

It’s almost as if sex were part of her character! But seriously, if you want to reduce a woman to just tits and ass, that’s all on you. Most RS fans are fans because of more than that, but maybe shallow is all you can muster?

*sigh* Somebody creates something, they create it for one of two reasons: they create it to be consumed or used by an intended audience or they create for themselves. The “sexism” that you so blithely point out is a “result” of that: the creators of various heroes said, “I want to make this idealized thing that…

Darick Robertson? You mean this guy? Are you SURE he’s African American? I mean, he might have some African American in him, but just by looking I’d have to say that he’s probably of Caucasian descent, primarily. If you have sources that say otherwise, then by all means. Not, really, that it matters in this case or…

Are we getting new female heroes? I mean, there’s Guillotine, but...who else? I can’t think of anyone off the top of my head. Then again, I’m pretty done with the superhero genre, so...eh.

Anyway, the reason I mentioned Marvel (and one Image character) was because I don’t like DC.

Also: I used to like Squirrel…

I guess you forgot Storm, Jubilee, Jean Grey, Warbird, Tigra, Wasp, Angela, Sif, Witchblade, Marrow, Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, Gamora, Crystal, Rogue, Valyrie, Sharon Carter, Misty Knight, Elektra, Spectrum, the Bloodstone girl that isn’t as cool as her brother, Emma “The Bitch” Frost, Moondragon, and we could this…

You know, if you are going to bring up Red Fucking Sonja, then I should point out her male counterpoint doesn’t get the benefit of a top OR metal.

There are a number of characters that have been raped, both male and female. Grayson from Invincible was forcible, on-panel raped in issue 110. It was heavily alluded that Robin way raped by Tarantula. Acutally, Nightwing is apparently DC’s prison bitch when it comes to that because it’s happened to him multiple…

...ever since a mysterious utterance from manipulative super-spy Nick Fury left the Son of Odin unworthy to lift his magic hammer...

What are you talking about? Apparently any dipshit can pick up a mallet and gets called Thor now, so it’s not like it’d be vacant for long. I can name a half dozen people off the top of my head than can pick up the damn thing whenever they want.

I’m just so, so glad I’m moving away from Marvel and DC now. Yikes. This is gonna be a trainwreck.

Except when some feminists say it is? But NAFALT, right? See, here’s the thing about belonging to an ideology and basing your identity on it, ESPECIALLY when it has no way of policing itself: you are just as good as your worst member.

See, remember how gamers are suddenly...what was it...oh, right white, racist,…

My friend a few years ago told me he was giving up on superhero comics because they just weren’t doing it for him anymore. I love superhero comics, but...I think it’s time to give up the ghost. There’s just so little content, so little that’s new. They are just going to keep playing musical identity chairs with…
