Same here. The oft-repeated rhetoric about how "you get a sense that she dresses and acts how she wants" didn't really ring true for me until that line. Still holding out for a few more likable nonsexual female protagonists in games.

I hope that Part 2 references how Bayonetta and Jeanne are basically married. They planned to spend Christmas together it's so cute!

I don't know how many Escapist folks are Steam Powered Giraffe fans, but this is the "of all the things to go wrong while out in space" from this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLNgD5vsZsM

I was intrigued by what you brought up about the protagonist having it worse than the damsel. Definitely it would suck for an actual human, but surely there's a difference between being a real person doing the stuff and being a real person making a character do all that stuff? Also, I think...

Lichdom has fans?

This sounds like the much worse version of a game I would really love to play. I've long felt that games like D&D and Skyrim tend to fall short in their depictions of the difference between wizards and warriors. To me, a warrior is the type able to leap into the fray from the get-go...

I get the feeling that you're not in the mood to have a discussion about power dynamics and the relationship between comedians and society. Okay. I'm not super qualified for such a debate myself.

Listen, guys, I'm sure it's all meant in good fun and you're mostly targeting the people who do ridiculous stuff, but you're lumping the assholes and lunatics in with actual transgender people. Even if you've decided to just assume that tumblr is full of nonsense, you should at least appreciate...

Watching it now. I've been looking forward to this ever since that Critical Miss strip.

Well if you enjoyed Watchmen, Alan Moore has plenty of other great stories. "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow," "Tom Strong", and "Promethea" are all solid books. If you're the type who likes a long series, Moore's run on "Swamp Thing" is a must-read. Plus those comics were...

It's a decent cartoon, but I feel like at this point My Little Pony fans are really more fans of themselves than of the show.

Three words: Jaegers In SPPAAAAAAAAAAACCCCEEEE

Even if the world DID start only a few thousand years ago, the PROCESS of evolution would still be taking place right now.

There is? Pardon me while I go relive my childhood.

I haven't watched the show (yet) but I agree with Bob that representations of gender in the superhero genre are very problematic. One thing that's very cool is how the character of Batwoman has evolved from a bad joke about being a female Batman to one of the coolest characters in DC. Yet...
