I seem really sexist when I say this to certain people.

Forgive me for saying this, but the whole libertarian thing is kind of turning into the new, "I'm a vegan" thing.

Save this crap for gawker. We don't need kotaku also tattling on every idiot that says something stupid.

The silliness is the best thing about this game. I am tired of gritty pseudo realistic crap almost every other game company spits out.

Stupid shit? In a Metal Gear Solid game? You don't say!

Cool guys walk away from explosions, they don't come back & explain them...

Thanks for stopping by!

I thought he was super bad at it, poorly redirected, and was obviously avoiding of the topic making him seem guilty.

I think you've just open the bickering comments gate... I'll just sit over here and prepare some popcorn...

I dunno, the fact that he recognizes that women have to wade through a sea of bullshit to get anywhere kind of makes him more aware of feminist issues than most internet MRAs.
More of a crypto-feminist with an irresponsible sadistic streak than a sexist pig.

You didn't say it was unreasonable, but you did describe it as "not cool", "kind of gross", and all around portrayed it as if he is doing something wrong or unreasonable, with one of your paragraphs coming close to mocking him as if he is indeed doing something unreasonable. I will quote:

So are you saying, statistically, he's guilty?

"For us as the public, that's the only useful thing he could have done."

I'm sorry, but I'm completely confused as to why what he said, in his first paragraph, was wrong.

He flat out stated, "We never had sex."

... When did rape get reclassified to making out? Or is this a social redefining of rape that I haven't kept up on, not the actual legal definition?

He wasn't even making this about…

His concern wasn't for the public, it was for his personal stake in the matter. That was far more important then starting a nationwide conversation, especially since he doesn't seem to have any idea of what exactly she thought was assault.

This is complete bullshit. If he didn't rape someone, he should absolutely defend himself. People are raped and it's horrible, but people are also falsely accused and that's also an injustice. These things come down to pure "he said, she said" and that's what makes them so difficult, but an innocent person…

He's not trying to start a conversation about consent, he's trying to make a response to an accusation that he sexually assaulted someone.

Here's your first lesson: they're people, treat them as such, and you'll win game of the year in writing.

calm yourself random lady. the last of us was a good game made by people who WANTED to appeal to the female audience. the problem is when you people, with your agendas are FORCING companies to appeal to the female audience. you people are therefore putting them out of their element.
