And there's totally no problem with this. If a developer is really into an idea, by all means, make it and make it awesome. Stick with an idea if it's something you feel strongly about or would really enjoy making. In fact, that's the only way things should ever be made. Where I feel left out - and I do some of the time -…
This is the first time I watched one of her videos (I gathered enough about her previous ones by watching some replies) and I must say I definitely disagree with her on many many parts: She still doesn't make a point out of Japanese vs. Western games. Seriously this is actually important since she uses so many of them in…
Ha! Have to come back to this thread for this : Of course some thick douchebags might go apeshit, but besides these, how can you be so sure ? (plus, I'm sure that the frat douchebags would love to play a game with a lead lesbian character haha :D ) Plus ... there are countless games where the sexual orientation of the main…
It doesn't -- it highlights the position he's coming from. I didn't think I even needed to address his argument, since it is such an obvious strawman, but just so there's no confusion, here's what I'd have to say about the stand he took: I think calling her locking youtube comments 'shutting down discussion' is an…
Apart from the industry's reluctance to push the envelope on that one there probably more reasons. Considering a stranger to hetero would be a naturalistic instinct (I am NOT implying that homosexuals would be unnatural) since heterosexuals would be the only ones who can biologically reproduce, we would subconsciously…
What is the significance of her shutting down discussion within youtube comments? Like, why even bring it up at all? Do you think there are a lot of important voices who only have access to youtube, and have been silenced? Do you think she is effectively oppressing any meaningful dissent? It strikes me as a strawman…
It would be cool if rather than everyone only arguing and discussing the topic, if more people also tried working in the medium they know how to use in order to attempt to make good examples of how to accomplish the feminist friendly game-type, whether it be through art, design, storytelling, etc... I mean discussion is…
I'm not meaning to offend at all, I'm just saying demographics can be a big point of developing a "good game." What you find "good" about Saints row, someone of a different age group, gender, or other group might not really enjoy, and then is it still a good game? I was more saying "okay so what sorts of things does this…
man, i put these aside because I was expecting them to be really insightful, however I was pretty disappointed. All her arguments seem to just be angry hyperbole based on very specific examples, often from ridicuous sources, like talking for about 5 minutes on how an episode of the powerpuff girls oversimplifies female…
That article doesn't agree with what you're saying Del. You're talking about 'video games' while the article speaks of 'territorial aspects in videogames'. Huge difference. It's been repeatedly shown that male brains are more geared towards spatial awareness (probably from hunting etc.) which means that they would also…
