i more or less stopped playing destiny at this point. finally releasing a gun i used to want just makes the time i spent hunting and waiting for it retroactively more infuriating.

okay, allow me to clarify...
firedorn thought he bedded a woman, but the person he slept with turn out to be a man. the thing is that the nature of how this came about is ambiguous.

the person firedorn slept with could have been one of three things...
+...a trans-woman, someone born as a biological male but identifies as…

“Fictional characters should be allowed to be whatever-phobic in the fictional setting.”
+ sure enough. and people are allowed to find whatever-phobic characters to be reprehensible.

“It’s saying the one guy in the joke found the situation disgusting. You’re extrapolating to the nth degree in order to justify some ridiculous measure of outrage.”
+ i think we’ve been over this issue in our own discussion. just because the possibility exist that one might be overreacting or “looking for a reason to…

“The fact that people are apparently offended by the mere statement of something factual and is indeed an issue for a lot of people, is pathetic and cowardly.”
+ whether something is considered pathetic or cowardly is not the means by which we meter an issue’s measure of being legitimate. furthermore, in the myriad…

never heard of him ‘til now. and i just watched a bit of his stuff... i prefer lewis black and george carlin, personally.

comedy isn’t a monolith with absolute domain over what’s considered funny. it is a abstract constructed by individuals— individuals with their own meter of humor, ethics, and morality. ofttimes, what’s considered funny isn’t consistent within the comedy industry. so, there’s no “changing comedy” as much as there is…

this isn’t a matter of what people should or shouldn’t be allowed to say. free speech is for everyone, after all— although it isn’t without restrictions (e.g. death threats, false advertising, etc). however, free speech has a caveat that people don’t seem to acknowledge as often as they should: free speech is for…

you would be right if this joke existed in a vacuum... but it doesn’t. it’s in a game played by many people, and people, be it intentional or not, tend to compare what they see and hear in media against their own lives and the lives of other people.

a character’s overreaction is the point of many jokes, but one must take note on what causes the overreaction. in this case, the man killed himself because he accidentally slept with a trans-woman.

given the current state of society, that trans-people are the high ranked among the LGBTQ groups for harassment and…

is that so? well, i’ve simply been missing out of the proliferation of racist, anti-homosexual, and anti-bisexual jokes.

...even in such cases, that doesn’t make such jokes okay. this is especially so when the target of those jokes are minority groups like the ones i’ve mentioned.

it’s more than simply being unfunny. most i further point out how trans-people already deal with incidents of assault and harassment? ...it’s actually a bit disconcerting how you over-looked the more serious point i brought up.

EDIT: kotaku’s message system was not properly updating my submissions (i thought they were…

it’s true that some comedians do so, but there are ways of handling such jokes... and they usually don’t end on the point of “a guy slept with a trans-woman by accident, so get committed suicide”. jokes like that reinforce the idea that trans-people are so be avoided.

even if you aren’t current with the fact that, if…

some do, but there’s a way to joke about such things. and the jokes usually don’t usually end on the point of “guy slept with a trans woman by mistake, so he committed suicide”. jokes like that reinforce the idea that trans-people are to be avoided.

true, but that “joke” basically put an entire demographic of people, transsexuals, under the bus. in general, jokes aimed at race and sexuality are frowned upon— the same should apply to gender identity.

do you like making fun of this goofy spiel? you should play pillars of eternity.

"People have a strange need to play someone similar to themselves in games," he said. "That's not something I understand. I don't think I'd have enjoyed Half-Life more if Gordon Freeman didn't have glasses or a beard. I don't think I'd have enjoyed Tomb Raider more if it featured Larry Croft instead [of Lara…

they overall designs of these characters seem to take inspiration from clay models, so it makes sense that the sweater sleeve is lumpy-looking.
