But why isn’t it? I think it’s interesting to think about how race, religion, and gender are all just social constructs, but the rules for transitioning into each group varies so widely. As it currently stands in our society, you can transition between genders just by self-identifying and adopting more norms of your…

Funderful?

I think it’s premature to say her storyline is ruined when we don’t even know where the writers are taking this. That being said, I think this story arc is showing her growth as a character. She starts off as a naive little girl, transitions to a resilient hostage, and is now emerging a burgeoning contender in the…

Ok, I can see how you would view it that way especially if you are from outside the US (I’m glad you are so open-minded). It’s sad the pride parades draw so much anger in places outside the US, like eastern Europe, but those people would be homophobic anyways because they are just full of hate and violence. I agree…

You don’t agree with pride parades? I’m not sure what putting one’s self “as an unicorn” means, but pride parades are extremely important. 1) LGBT people are only a small percentage of the population and not easily distinguishable from everyone else. So if LGBT people want a community, power, or a sex life, they need…

I agree with most of what you are saying, but I do not believe that you should write for a gay character the same way you would for a straight character. Gays likely had very different childhoods, relationships with their families, views on religion, dating habits, ect as compared to their straight peers. Similarly,…

Wow, you've put a lot of effort into being wrong.

And here is what Wakka should look like if were are going to make him sexy (notice the tasteful amount of butt and nice focus on his bulge):

To reiterate: here's a photo of Wakka not being sexy, while Rikku clearly is.

Seeing a male topless is not sexualizing him. Maybe the yaoi fangirls you creep on are into that whole prepubescent Vaan look, but it's not that common. Nor is Vaan ever posed for the viewers pleasure besides in the one photo you keep posting. As a gay guy I would love more fan service. Give me Barret with a bulge…

Stop trying to make this happen. It's dumb. You're dumb. You don't understand what makes a man sexy.

The idea that the writers of the article wish for someone to have an innate "blackness" without somehow being turned into a stereotype is preposterous.

I admire Tyson's work but his arrogance is not befitting a scientist. He seems convinced that his theories are the only ones that count and that's straight-up bad science. I'd hate to see how he reacts when peer reviews don't go his way (scratch that, I'd love to see how he reacts).

"i guess that surely could be a way to interpret it..." Really? That is literally the only way to interpret it. Your right, there's no denying that the artist was making a very clear reference to PTSD because...

The entire level being a "boss" in some modern shooters is an excellent point. It brings to mind the truck convoy and the train from Uncharted 2 and the collapsing building from Uncharted 3. Having a unique environmental challenge which tests your skills can be even more fun and interesting than a big boss.

Allow me to introduce you to silicene and germanane.

I recently came across my little nephew and niece "playing house". I immediately demanded who the antagonist was, but they didn't understand the question. I tried pointing out that what they were doing had no challenge or skill progression, but they still claimed it was "fun". I eventually had to stop their "game"…
