Feel to compelled to buy a lot of stuff. Complain about having too much stuff.

People could do what you proposed, but then other people will cry out over privacy violations. An argument they'll use is that these kinds of things don't happen with enough frequency for all that effort, and given that any such analysis of data will be inherently inaccurate to some degree, a lot of innocent people…

Not enough wobble bass.

That's probably unwise. Who knows what sort of shenanigans will happen next year and you'll need those kidneys.

I think chompison is being sarcastic, but I may be wrong.

I wan't put off by the comment, though. It was civil and voiced a complaint, and I responded to it.

Anyone else read the words "Right Here" (in any article) and picture the writer grabbing his junk?

Magicka has a similar sword-with-stone-attached that you used like a hammer.

True, but Islam isn't as sexist as it appears over here. The top 3 Muslim-majority countries have elected women heads of state, and I actually remember one of them by name (Benazir Bhutto of Pakistan, late former Prime Minister). Even so, your point is taken. All major religions incorporate inequality of the sexes and…

You know, I'm surprised how many people both agree with Leigh here (despite the concern over the angry tone at the start of the article) and the intelligence to add meaningful comments. There were idiots here and there, but a lot of commenters here had an opinion (not necessarily totally agreeing or disagreeing, but…

I echo Firescorpio and add that think of her article in the context of being read to a person. If that person has the negative qualities mentioned, you're not going to make them better by them reading the article. So in some ways, this is counterproductive in the larger sense, even if it lets off some of the steam…

I echo the comment that both Gamasutra and Sexy Videogameland are not for the audiences you mentioned. They'd probably click on it once, then promptly go somewhere else.

Nope, my hair isn't orange.

Not to be quippy, but isn't that outlook a bit of a self-fulfilling prophesy?

Truth.

Eh, I didn't like it much.

You can also not read Kotaku. I mean, you even said yourself you don't enjoy reading Bashcraft's articles, why read what you don't enjoy?

I dunno. Is Halo or Call of Duty similar to sexualization of women in games? They both paint men in archetypal bad-ass hero roles that trace their descent all the way back to Gilgamesh and Apollo. It's not exactly sexualization of men, but the same pattern of applying millennia-old male roles.

True. I'm reminded of the crackpot Darwinist theories made up to "prove" blacks were inherently inferior to whites. Not necessarily pushed by hate in some individuals, but still racist.
