Again with race and sexual orientation on a topic about gender. And in fact, it not only transcends sexual orientation and race but also gender, with regards to people who are throwbacks who want to see traditional gender roles in media.

Notice that you cite gender-bending as an exclusive female phenomenon, as proof that "only males 'own' heroes", and then when your absolute argument gets refuted by numerous counterpoints, you cite "only males 'own' heroes" as proof that those counterpoints don't really count. And I mean, now...

No, that's not what you said. You said quite explicitly that only women characters are gender-bent off of established male heroes, and based on the premise that this only happens to women, the act of doing so in and of itself enforces sexist norms about female inferiority. It's worse cause...

I don't know which is worse: the fact that this analogy doesn't work worth a damn, or that you're attempting to compare a complex moral and ethical issue with something that is cut-and-dried unacceptable. .... you bring up a complete red herring, and then say you don't want to do there...

There is absolutely zero doubt whatsoever that, with the roles reversed, the reaction at large (by society, and even more so here) would be far more positive. Heck, you could even replace "debilitated by MS" with "has trouble holding down a job" and you'd still see the same phenomenon. To...

Fair enough. I apologize for clearly overreacting and not paying attention to what I was saying with enough dedication. It's easy for me to lose the distinction and blur the lines between opposing a methodology and arguing with people. A number of games are androcentric, no doubt about it...

Then your reading comprehension is as weak as your justifications for establishing a victimization scoring system while simultaneously accusing others as bigoted. They're both apparently as weak as your grasp on the modern video game world. Less than 100% of the video games in the world are...

Translation: "Yes, it works both ways, but I have a predefined belief that it's just worse when it happens to women, so here's some pseudoscience in an attempt to justify my prejudices."

I'm not claiming it helps. I'm claiming there is no evidence to suggest that there is harm, and the onus is on you to prove there is harm done. Do drawn cartoons that harm no one when drawn result in more children being harmed, or not? Are you as right about child porn as Jack Thompson was...

.. unless the work is considered to have artistic merit. That is the law as it stands. It is hazily defined because you cannot apply a set list of quantifiable criteria to it to ultimately determine if it is legal to possess. The law explicitly states that some works are acceptable and...

My city (and a few others in Canada) have authorized third-party Mac dealers. Go to one of them instead of to an Apple store, and they'll hook you up with RAM and hard drive upgrades much cheaper than Apple prices and install them for you cheap. Part of what you're paying for is a brand...

A) Cartoon depictions are OK because no actual child was harmed in their creation. Actual depictions are not okay because an actual child was harmed in their creation. This is consistent with the stated purpose of the law against child pornography, which is to protect children from harm...

(double post, my bad)

Eh, I'm willing to give the Bible a pass on grounds of "artistic merit" ;)
