Hmmmm, I don't know, the feminists that I know, and the core of what I hold to be relevant, is exactly equality. Nothing more, nothing less. And that's not to say erasure of ALL gender characteristics as we all, as logical human beings, knows there's definitely biological differences at play no matter what.

I wasn't being sarcastic, they cut like 14 minutes of it out. Cause you know, demonizing sex etc.

I think there are definitely positive ways to depict sexuality, and negative ways and that's where many critics have certain issues with over sexualizing in games are. I personally, really enjoyed Bayonetta, but definitely I could see why some people may have had issues with it.

I think a main issue of this whole debacle is that, some male gamers are really offended by the notion that the game they're playing may be sexist or misogynistic because they believe it as some sort of personal attack. As if that the game is their identity in that sort of way.

If I got this as an assignment to design a special needs character I would shit my pants in fear of being offensive/insensitive/patronizing/condescending. I mean all well meaning research is still not a guarantee against offending someone.

I really don't get all the enormous Disney hate, most of the people who work on these films are lovely people, and actually probably would try and handle this subject with respect and sensitivity.

Yea I don't see Disney touching this with a ten foot pole, they might have a special needs supporting character or something in DisneyTV or Toon, but not in a feature anytime soon. They know that if they fuck something like this up it would blow up in their faces massively and thus as huge corporations are prone to…

I'd just like to point out it is completely possible to be a rapist without having been convicted in the court of law. Just like how it's completely possible to be a criminal without ever having been convicted due to our not infallible justice system.

I haven't played those games out of sheer cowardice but it makes sense! Blood flow is so efficient in the human body it makes sense that amputation is not always effective.

Something like how everyone has a strain of a virus/prion disease that mutated on a large scale, like how most people have a strain of the herpes virus. My theory is that a bite just transport so much bacteria and dirty stuff from being bitten by a corpse (komodo dragon bite on steroids), it just give them blood…

Um, she stabbed him in the neck, and apparently a 3rd party actually killed the dude, so. Reading comprehension, yes?

While that's true, issues like slavery, abortion, gay marriage have all been at one point polarizing, and it's arguable that there is usually a stance on an issue that is less morally reprehensible then the other. Progress is usually accepted, nonetheless.

the nature of their whole "organization" is insidious and a way to obfuscate any real responsibility. Nor are they even affecting positive change. It's like a Trojan horse carried by a large generally well meaning group, with sympathetic ties to a smaller toxic group that advocates awful shit.

If it makes you feel any better, the generally feeling of most developers (.i.e, artists, programmers, writers, designers, studios) are not in agreement at all with GG, the people who make these games generally despise this movement.

Sommers is like, fringe at best, so the fact that they've gravitated toward her makes me LOL in the most pathetic way.

Yea, I couldn't help myself though my saner side told me to stay out, since I work in the games industry and coincidentally, not male or white, I was even more furious that they somehow gave me enough fear to post to an alternate twitter account. Not my proudest moment.

I fell in that clusterfuck of gg, I've never felt more aware of the phrase "speaking to a brick wall" before that moment.

Yea I feel like that's splitting hairs though, Mulan herself was voiced by Ming Na Wen so *shrug.* Asian actors find it hard enough to get work, I don't mind a few Japanese/Korean actors getting gigs through Mulan, a more racially egregious film would've been that geisha movie where all the leads were Chinese.

I said " pretty good" not "pristine," and obviously, they've been making an effort.

How come no one cares about Big Hero 6, super progressive in terms of diversity.
