This I feel is a really good point though, I quite like that people are stopping and thinking. Even if your end goal is to make a sexy racked female, atleast youre now thinking it needs something more, it needs to portray something other than sex, heck if it gets people thinking more in character design in general then…
I have a bit of a problem with this. With any other field I'd agree 100% on that. But I feel video-games are different. Consider even just the classic games that she's talking about. They were made in the 80s and 90s, some by just 1 dude, most by a very small group of guys. How is it that guys back in the 80s could do…
Turing into the Joe and Dylan Show (Edit: mash you too :P) but hopefully this will clarify and be pretty easy to swallow, not trying to get hyperbolic over here. shes not freaking Hitler, its really NOT that big of a deal if she does it. youtube has the feature so people can use it for christ sake, so the significance? not…
Yeah, as I said Ben's previous posting history comes into play here, I agree it is probably a bit dramatic(my paraphrasing). None of what you say here is particularly unreasonable. However I will have to disagree to a minor extent, I don't think we need to assign weights to the opinions of others based on…
Because you aren't listening, mithdia. Obviously not all men are rapists. Few men are rapists! Relatively few men are even harmless creeps! You're twisting our argument into a bizarre extreme. What me and shoes and ben are trying to say, I believe, is: WOMEN HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS SHIT, however rare you think it is, its…
Again and again - I would encourage everybody to look closely at the Kickstarter guidelines. I feel like "virtual" projects (ie : the ones costing nothing to duplicate) are not complying to them, and both this and the DoubleFine project just found a loophole (even tho it wasn't their intention!). Now of course, this is…
There's nothing explicitly stated, to be sure, but what many women are referring to is not always an overt 'let's put lady characters in revealing tops', but something more insidious and difficult to pin down. Like an undercurrent of discomfort in certain situations, a low frequency feeling of being out of place. Not…
Come on ben, while I understand the temptation, that's not productive. I THINK ben is trying to say that because you aren't personally harmed by it, it's kinda callous to talk like it's a non-issue? I agree with the sentiment, although I can't say I agree with his point -- objectifying women is bad, yeah, but I cannot for…
What are you talking about? I was saying that your claim that there are less false claims than actual assaults not being taken seriously is completely false. I don't see the point of launching into a massively generalizing tirade. You think because the girl blacked out the cops send her on her way? Do you understand what…
i think both methods are valid and both work. look what happened to mass effect 3, it wasn't a bunch of people that took a proactive stance, it was a bunch of people saying this shit sucks, your fucking doing it wrong. you cant expect everyone that enjoys games or film to just go out and make their own film or games. just…
