My god. Thank you for sharing your story. And thank you for being honest about the pressure to have a so-called thick skin when it comes to degrading, sexist, and sometimes violent behavior. We've been taught for so long to just take it. All of it.

What's wrong afraid you might catch the gay? Dick.

That was my only takeaway from all these pictures too.

I met him once. He is truly short, and he had pretty strong BO, and I still would have ridden him like a Harley on a bad road. That man is gorgeous.

Hee. Okay, I don't *hate* Jonathan Franzen. What I hate is the way the New York Times transforms itself into his personal PR machine when he has a book out, to the exclusion of the books people are actually reading, so he's sort of a symbol for a whole binary hierarchical....oh, fuck it, I hate that smug motherfucker,…

And yet you're here, looking and commenting. I wouldn't say you're homophobic, just an idiot.

In other words, when playing co-op YOU are Arno! In co-op mode, ALL players see themselves as Arno, but see each other as someone else.

Scooby Doo, have you considered what it would be like to constantly play games where the overwhelming majority of characters are women? Now imagine that, of the few male characters, even fewer are playable, and an even tinier segment of those characters are characterized as real human beings. Most are just there as…

Friendly reminder to all the people about to make posts about how this isn't a "real" issue, or how there are more important issues in gaming to worry about, or about how people should just stop complaining about equal representation altogether:

"Privilege is seeing yourself as a default that everyone can relate to while making no attempt to relate to others in different circumstances."

Fake? If new games all had female protagonists and no males, you bet there'd be an outrage.

No, I'll just happily label him as a bigot.

Well I mean...you sway your hips all femeniniminesly, and your titty-bits do all that jiggling. It's CLEARLY harder. I mean it's not like you have two feet you move one in front of the other, or swing your arms when you walk or something simple like that. It's complicated! You don't even KNOW!

Sorry, as an animator, no, they really don't move that differently. You aren't suddenly animating a horse or a spider. You're making a few tweaks to the already-existing male animation.

"'female' walking" lol.

Write a character.

we move differently? omg
explain me how because as a woman myself I never noticed an effin difference

I don't care about sexist discrimniation and all that s*hit I care that reason is dumb and I ca't believe people believe it as even real! LMAO
I would have prefered honesty and them saying "we dont want to include an…

I think when they sit down in their development meeting, they say "Okay, if we put female characters in the game ... we'll have to re-work ALL of the animations" as if, in their minds, they believe this is what they have to animate for female characters:

People aren't mad because Assassin's Creed doesn't have women, they're mad because Ubisoft lied about how difficult it would be to add women. I think the Far Cry 4 team was more honest, and I can't see them receiving the same blow back. I'd bet a couple bucks that Far Cry 5 has women, as conciliatory as that sounds.
