Side-effect rather, toy stores don't try to force things on genders, they just sell what sells, and even in the most gender-equal family you might often have the girl play with the dolls. Again: gender-roles have gone so long back it's impossible to see who started it, society just does what it does best to grow and earn…
She needs to make positive examples and stop dwelling on the 'bad' games that make a point of being over sexualised or action based. It's like making a video on why the holocaust was bad or why jean Claude van dammes wife dies in every single movie!!! I like the points she raises on the most part but she comes across to me…
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...…
Attempting to discredit someone's argument by calling them a [deragatory term based on their status] is absolutely unacceptable in grownup society. It's exactly the same as saying 'racism isn't an issue if that dumb nigger would stop talking about it'. It's an absolutely disgusting way to treat a human being. No matter how…
There are many great points in this thread but I feel like people are dialing in most their ideas at an 11. While some of the comments are a little sensationalized, at their core they still bring out great points. I've been talking to my wife about this thread and topic in general and while what I had mentioned about her…
biggest problem i see here, is that all of the "activists" out there fail to recognise some very simple basics: 1. you're belief (and it is a belief) is based on your own opinion on how things should work. you are not everybody, and not everybody thinks like you do. 2. for every one of you that want things to change, that…
so this woman who has 160k+ needs you to stand up for her so she can get what she wants made? its a fair answer what you have given but I just don't see why you would portray gamers as a whole as stupid, why you personally would support a company which perpetuates a stereotype you clearly find despicable, you are free as a…
When is the next episode coming out? And personally, after reading through this thread I've come to the conclusion (just my harmless personal opinion) that criticism of "equality" and the like has no place in things that "do not exist", ie art of any kind, any offence taken from any works of art, intentional by the creator…
lol, seriously? fuck right off. to everything "righteous" said. fuck off. i'm an artist, a musician, and ex-military. in all three of those areas of my "expertise" i can hand on heart say that there are females who're better. not because of their gender, or because of mine, but just because they are. there are also plenty…
haha nice round up there dfacto! i guess the main point of this is that "we can do better" at portraying both genders in games. or more to the point, we can do better by not using gender as a tool in games. i think a great example are the uncharted games, there are many times throughout the storyline where Nathan is both…
