yay! you are back! :P i am pretty sure Ben already did a whole lot of explaining the issues already. that remark was only Ben dismissing someone who dismissed all of it. so it seems fair to me. dont you think :D
You've inadvertently agreed with the Trope girls argument. The main argument isn't saying "remove all sexy females". People are instead saying "can we have a bit of a better balance, and have SOME strong women with clothes on? Because there is really not very much..."
Really nice find Poop! Enjoyed them but being a guy I felt all guilty like which gotta mean something... And the manic pixie thing (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind) really bothered me because I never seen it as something derogatory...
Thanks TeriyakiStyle those words unlocked something, and I think you just helped me figure out why I've had beef with this stuff all along :) I wonder if anyone else is thinking along these lines also. I have never looked to video games for statements. I'm being selfish, and looking at this from my perspective, which is…
The principle issue for a lot of more conservative feminists DOES heavily involve sexualization of female characters.

Of course there are talented women in all fields. The point is that they are not given the creative reins of any projects with money or likelihood to be…
I actually liked a lot of this video. She still dwells on a lot of deconstructive negativity, but she counters that with showing good examples, and even presents a solution. She even had a call to action at the end! I still don't like any of her other videos for aforementioned reasons, but this one was a refreshing…
I have no problem with cosplaying at all. If you want to show your appreciation for a sexy character by dressing as them, that's wonderful. Women are all different and have varying views and opinions about what makes a good character. I don't care so much for booth babes, as it's less about someone deciding to share their…
