I agree that this isn’t the year, but we can’t whitewash him out of the history of video games. I know it’s hard to have nuanced discussions about these things, but we can’t really have a society where everyone is judged by the worst thing they have ever done. People are good and bad, people learn, people make…

A YouTube video with nearly 900,000 views titled “Why Anthem Should Scare You | Has EA Destroyed Bioware?” just miiiight be the type of thing that the second-to-last paragraph of this article is talking about.
Strange how you lost all that weight and you’re still a terrible person.
That just doesn’t make sense.
The one pictured, for instance, Ellie, from Borderlands 2. She’s not depicted as disgusting or anything, she’s just a badass lady. Then there’s Big the Cat, Bob from Tekken 6, Coach from L4D2, Ganryu from Tekken, Glottis in Grim Fandango, to name a few.
“They like skinny girls cuz they’s pussies.”
So... I don’t get the argument.... that overweight people should be made into main characters in high action roles in which they are physically active, maintain all that weight and end up the hero?
I know the picture is just for reference, but i always felt borderlands2's ellie quite a decent representation of the larger lady, yeah she was big but she was a badass and ready to whoop anyone who said otherwise
But he literally did.
She also expressed her feelings to him the next day. He heard her out and apologized. I see no reason to doubt the sincerity of his apology. His statement on the matter affirms that he took her words to heart.
Do you know who does stuff like this? Who ignores communication from their partner, going ahead with whatever they want to do sexually, while always making sure to stay on the legal side of things? PREDATORS. It is not the men who care deeply about making sure their partners want to be there and are comfortable but…
While I am careful about putting obligations on the part of a woman to not be assaulted, THIS needed to be said. Women are (WILD GENERALIZATION COMING) often eager to please and slow to disappoint. It did not appear that she could not have left, or that she would be facing some negative consequences of telling Ansari…
Times a billion
This x100.
Slut shaming?
I’d personally say the most unfairly shamed party here is Aziz Ansari. By far. I thought Caitlin Flanagan’s piece was excellent and her description of the Babe piece as basically “revenge porn” was accurate.
To be honest, I was hoping to hate-read it. I think it’s an interesting example and I was sure Jez would strip it of all its nuance. Instead, they gave us this (which I suppose I kinda hate-read).
This was a bad date. She had a horrible date with a clueless guy who thought he was being sexy and hot. She was made to feel uncomfortable, and it wasn’t right.
This piece is unreal. I’ve been looking for Jez’s take on this for over 24 hours. They haven’t covered it at all except to say that Babe did it badly. Way to have those tough conversations, Jez
Maybe it’s not the right time for this. She died at 46 would you like her to be punished more?
