Jessica Rabbit is an awesome character - she is smart and dedicated to her husband despite how she is drawn has everyone believing she is untrustworthy and "easy." Her quote "I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way" means more than people realize.

I wear corsets occasionally - I used to did Civil War-era living history and now I costume and wear corsets for the better part of 3 days (yay Dragon*Con!) - and a well fitting costume, laced correctly, is really not uncomfortable.

This feels like a mean thing to say, but people whose main focus seems to be on "working on" their appearance just strike me as being some of the most boring people alive.

I mean, I have mental health problems, and I don't like it when people are excessively happy around me, but the worst I can ever manage is a scowl and a yearning for some schadenfreude. Maybe some muttered obscenities.

It's amazing to me how many of these men who can't be held responsible for their actions due to mental illness direct those issues towards women.

Everybody is mentally ill after they do something violent, of course. Except for poor minorities; they just have problems with violent culture.

Smile! Because baby/honey/gurrrl, you're too pretty to look sad, and you should focus on whether or not your face is pleasing to men.

But don't smile too much, or we'll have to kill you.

"I feel like more men calling them out might be the only hope. For some of these guys, there is literally nothing a woman can say that they will listen to or take seriously."

I feel like more men calling them out might be the only hope. For some of these guys, there is literally nothing a woman can say that they will listen to or take seriously. Many are likely beyond help, but I think that how he is specifically targeting younger guys - telling them MRAs are insanely wrong about this…

"Imma let you finish, but...."

I fence. Men and women use them pretty much the same.

Woah.

Hi! My name is Meg, and I have played every single AC game. So has my best lady friend! And two of my other three close lady friends.

I think one problem as someone else pointed out is that everything else ends up being kind of funky, though. You end up with a narrative that is very unlike the character you expect's narrative. So, while you can play as black Shep, it's still white Shep's narrative.

why don't YOU write a news blog? then you can write about all the privileged juvenile narrow-minded boring-ass white-dudebro stuff that you want.

I actually do make games - and no the excuses covered there are barely legitimate. It's true they would need to re-scale the bones of the skeletal rig to fit a different proportion of character mesh, but there's no actual reason why they'd need to literally redo all the animations - perhaps a more feminine walk/run…

Then you talk to Bethesda. Their Elder Scrolls games let you play male or female. So apparently it can be done 'cause I don't hear them bitching about how fucking hard it is to do.

"Ça n'ira pas"

"Prior to the release of Assassin's Creed III in 2012, creative director Alex Hutchinson talked about how it would have been a "pain" to include a female protagonist in that game because "the history of the American Revolution is the history of men."

I'm not very good at my job, says Assassin's Creed director
