Objectively. He keeps using that word. It doesn’t mean what he thinks it means.

So what happens after the ethics complaint is filed? Does the ethic committee just look at it, nod, and say "duly noted" or there is a chance that this guy will face actual penalties?

Any one of the following arcade cabinets: Space Invaders, Star Wars (1977), Final Fight, Mortal Kombat II, X-Men (1992), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the new Batman arcade game, Star Wars Battle Pod, Super Street Fighter II Turbo, Silent Scope (either one).

You know that there are lots and lots of popular and beloved sci-fi/action/adventure movies that aren’t Star Wars, right?

This is what I’ve been saying since 1999. No movie is all or nothing, not even a Star Wars movie. I’ve seen far worse movies than any of the prequels, yet they are some of the most universally hated films ever in the history of cinema. I genuinely cannot understand why. I mean, I can understand why they’re not…

A creative person doesn’t have to protect the audience e from being offended, but the audience doesn’t have to spare the creative person criticism either.

The problem comes in the reveal, however. They see that it’s really a dude wearing a dress. Are they just shocked and surprised, or disgusted? Do they feel embarrassed that they got it all wrong, or do they feel somehow tainted by it? The answers to these questions is what can muddle the creator’s intent.

Opinions. People have them. Deal with it.

I’m legitimately surprised they didn’t change the title to Z Devil’s Third so it would be even more bottom-of-the-list than it is.

So, let me get this straight: having a beard and denouncing Islamophobia makes you a Muslim, but being white and flying the Confederate flag does NOT make you racist?

I’ll be damned.

Thought you were saying that they shouldn’t receive funding based merely on the idea that they’re religious/private. My mistake for misreading.

I’m not sure if I agree with you about private schools not receiving public funds. That establishes a dangerous precedence, as many private non-profits receive federal funds (public libraries, museums, and—for at least the time being—Planned Parenthood). Granted, those institutions don’t discriminate based on sexual…

Couldn't resist, but thanks for the heads up. :-)

Yes, it is an argument. Just because the creator put it in there to make you uncomfortable doesn’t mean you have to like it, and it doesn’t mean that the creator doesn’t have to deal with consequences and repercussions of the audience not liking it.

You obviously don't know many "true fans" or "purists."

That’s what I was thinking. Thanks!

“We want to establish a theocracy where our chosen sacred text holds primacy over our founding governmental doctrine, and no law can be passed that conflicts with this text’s theological teachings. Those of other faiths, or who abstain from worship of any kind, will hold little or no civil rights as they will not be…

I’m okay with this.

I got a Wii U back in January, and while I still do 90% of my gaming on the PC, I really love it. Splatoon was the best shooter I’ve played since Titanfall, and remains probably the most balanced and just plain fun competitive multiplayer game out there. Super Mario Maker wasn’t as deep and thorough of a level editor…
