How is this a thing? How is this stupid fucking phrase an actual thing that's actually happening? It's not funny, it's not witty, it's just fucking stupid. Ugh.

I recently began replaying Final Fantasy VII (on my Vita). The game, in a lot of ways, has *not* aged well. The world graphics are giant polygons, the directional-pad-only controls are imprecise, the dialogue clearly has translation issues, and the story is, at times, a convoluted mess.

I love most of the responses to your post. So many pearl clutching asses.

"And why would dads never be asked this question about themselves or their sons?"

Ahahahaha stay classy, Jezebel.

For the life of me, I'm ASTOUNDED how you internet people do this. Making up arguments just to rail against them, I mean. Is it that difficult to actually argue against what I say? Is it because you know you're not very good at debate and discourse, so you make yourself face your own words?

No, you wouldn't. You'd just have to lack strong bias on the subject matter, is all.

But that's explained through the story. This is the problem with "critique" like yours - you take situations out of context and run with it. It's intellectually dishonest.

Let's not be dishonest, here. The response from *both* camps to viewpoints they disagree with is disgusting. I've seen a few castration and death threats, as well as "rape in prison" threats from the other side being flung.

My point wasn't that they are interfering or not.

Like I already stated, you can go fuck yourself, with the "wait for it to unfold before ranting." Don't ask for something then give me shit for giving you what you asked for.

No, NOW you're getting into the debate on the side of Blizzard (what someone invested would call "fanboying"). Frankly, that isn't an assumption, that's the stated facts. Whatever new plot device they introduce now to explain why THIS time it worked is not important - retconning is widely seen in a negative light for…

You said you hoped that the people who "vent this shit" would explain why. I did. Don't change the goalposts, and don't be a dick to the people who do what YOU ask them to do.

Go fuck yourself. You asked for a detailed explanation, and I provided it. Don't tell me I'm ranting, ass.

Sure, I'll explain.

I actually quit playing in large part due to Horde favoritism. So that's one, at least.

Honestly, *every time* I read this shit I feel disgusted.

I have to admit: 'He dehumanizes women and the other people he trolls online to the point that he doesn't even see them as "real."' Made me laugh. Like, you had to single out women? "women and the other people"? Wouldn't "he dehumanizes the people he trolls online" suffice?

Ugh.

Wait, wait wait wait.

Oh, it wasn't unclear. But it also failed to make a point in any way. When there's no counterpoint, no counterargument, nothing save a .gif, it's generally safe to assume the actual discourse is over. Glad to see that it is.
