Did you just read the headline... maybe the first paragraph... and then come down here to comment? The actual complaint is all spelled out up there.

that whole “this guy is a male power fantasy” shit you read so often needs to die period.

So segregate works based on sex? Women should not attempt creating anything with Male protagonist and like wise for male writer? I suppose this is one of the reasons why people don’t take video games seriously. No one would be saying this for movies or literature.

Why not? Who’s to say my dick prevents me from delivering a power fantasy for a certain niche? That’s akin to stating that gender is genitalia-defined, which is wrong on account of the brain being the most important sexual organ.

I agree entirely - I feel like EVERY character in League is iconic, while the Dota characters are generic and forgettable.

“but female power fantasies are cool, as long as they’re being defined predominantly by women”

I think it’s up to a creative professional to create whatever damn well pleases him or her. Nobody has to like it.

Note to women : Saying there is something we can’t do because we’re male is rather sexist.

Why do they have to be designed by woman? Women tell me every day what my power fantasy is. Apparently its beautiful, chissled men with ideal body types and attractive facial features. Who knew?! Thanks, random reminazi who knows nothing about me!

“You know what’d be cool? If more E3 games pulled a Fallout Shelter. Announced one minute, released the next. Because despite everything else, I do still enjoy E3’s Christmas-morning-like cavalcade of surprises. But what fun is a new toy if you can’t play with it, especially when you and your friends already have so…

I feel ya dude. My gen 1 team was composed only by pokemon I thought were cool: Scyther, Dragonite, Kaputops, Blastoise, Gengar and Onix. All of my friends used Mewtwo and I could never beat them. And poor Onix was just a horrendously weak pokemon, and Scyther has really really bad weaknesses. But I loved them.

I run a an Eviolite Porygon 2. Massive defensive wall, with a bit of Special Attack boost from the download ability, it’s meant to activate Trick Room in the second half of a double battle and do random status afflictions with tri-attack.

The Harley series is good. I like its characterization of both her and Ivy (Ivy is my spirit guide) and I’ve really been enjoying it.

Porygon has 2 evolutions now. Both of which are great.

For what it’s worth, Porygon was given a generous 2 evolutions, and became catchable in the wild in later games (though only in the post-game, and even getting the chance to catch him requires specific circumstances). His middle form looks like a rubber ducky, and his final form is streamlined.

If it’s any consolation, Eviolite Porygon2 is a pretty good wall. Trace shenanigans are always fun.

Sort of tangential to what you said but for a long time I thought it’d be awesome if they used Porygon to legitimize Missingo.

I don’t think you get Batman, or at least how Batman’s usually written nowadays. Batman isn’t incorruptible, he doesn’t kill because he IS corruptible. Deep down he knows that he’s a crazy psycho, and not killing is his one rule that keeps him from fully going down that path.
