Yeah, it's for kids, it's supposed to be 'fun'. It's just an example that illustrates typical gender roles. Most girls I've ever met are also 'bored to death' by 'girly' stuff. I would have begged my parents to buy me the 'boys only' book :P But the problem lies in the fact that people have a much harder time allowing boys…
sure, the basic survival stuff should be taught to everybody. and perhaps every kid should be taught that being shy is fucking impractical and won't get them anywhere. However those books don't seem like actual educational materials. i mean for christ's sake, "surviving a vampire attack"? These seem like 'fun' stuff. Stuff…
I don't see every old man as being a pedophile just like I don't see every female being a housewife or a damsel in distress, but if the movie is good and it happens to be about a pedophile or a damsel in distress I don't mind it at all. Again, that is not a bad thing, it's just not varied, most secondary characters will…
Something stands out that I don't understand. It keeps being brought up but I am not getting it : This doesn't make sense to me. I don't think there is any law (at least in western societies) preventing Sofia Coppola to make great movies, or any woman to enter a film school or an advertising firm. Now of course one can…
Then you aren't thinking hard enough. The idea is not to change only their visual appearance from sex doll to butter-troll, it's to change their personality so that it exists *at all*. They should have names, preferences and a history in your mind. They should exist as real people so that your design decisions reflect that…

I mean if it's so much of a debate to say that LEGO dropped the brick when it came to marketing to women based on a) misunderstood marketing approach by men and b) misunderstood marketing approach informed by the current attitudes of…
Oh the hubris! Just because I may have the capability to make whatever is 'OKAY' by you, why don't I make more of that IN MY SPARE TIME? I could write a book on that mate! I also dont like the slaughter of whales, but you certainly wont catch me strapping myself to the harpoon gun of a whaling boat in protest. Nor will…
you telling me that i won't get to play myself in a game now? a mexican fighting for his rights to get a visa so i can get a new truck so i can stop going to that damn home depot to get picked up to work for the day? lol... a fun fact... did you know that movie games sell best within the hispanic comunity? After that...…
My main post about guys making sexy girl models. No it doesn't make you a horrible person but it's worth stepping back and going "is this okay? is this just a sexualised object or a woman?" A women can be sexy and a woman but the problem is people not thinking enough about what they are making. No don't shut out the noise…
