I would call them sex negative prudes. I mean, humanity has a plethora of ways of expressing sexuality, right? I mean, do you like getting peed on? Do you like peeing on people? How do you feel about human furniture? Adult babies? Bleeding? All of those are are viable sexual outlets. People who are not into those are

It’s not particularly ironic that the internet is doing that. In fact, it is really the only thing that could have occurred. Every single oppositional movement from political to cultural to martial has been about humanizing your opponent, to make them seem lesser. The internet does the heavy lifting of that particular

Oh, feminism has done good, but again, we are back to the “face” of a movement versus what a movement has accomplished. Your movement is basically one of extremism, currently, along the lines of a fundamentalist group (and in many ways does remind one of a cult). Remember the whole WomenAgainstFeminism thing? Instead

You know, I really try to avoid it. Didn’t use to be that way, but there’s really only so many incidences of people who say they are feminists doing things like physically attacking and being emotionally abusive to you (my ex), calling you a rapist by dint of having a penis (a college student neighbor), and pushing

Never said it was. And it is just that, a generalization. It’s right there on the label: a general trend. And consider it was more than one person who was happy about it, I think it’s fair to say that some people were happy about it, and were happy about it for one reason. It’s the reasoning that I’m lumping these

Cool story, bro. But seriously, I mentioned digital distribution for a reason: the largest cost of any game is making physical copies and distributing them. This is why it’s so popular with indie and small devs. Especially given that marketing for this game, because it is so niche, would be (most likely) limited

Dealing with controversy was the point. Glad we agree. Thank you.

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
