Robert's Rebellion MIGHT work as a movie, but anything in the present? No.

Not to mention, the whole scene is done in first person. You don't really get to see -Booker- get baptised, you get to see yourself be baptised. There is also the fact that it is the only way to progress the game, so if you don't want to dealt with a baptisement under false pretenses in first...

So how should that movie have been made, in your opinion? How to create a character who isn't going to be offensive?

I'm going to focus on this, because I think it is the crux of the matter. One reason why I rarely assume sexism, accidental or not, is because sexism in itself is such a wide variety of scenarios and different people have different takes on what is sexist and what is not. Let's take Gretel here...

Just to clarify, in case it was inspired by anything I said, I have absolutely no problem with female mooks or villains. My problem comes when A) All (or almost all) the villains/mooks are female, and B) The (main) person enacting violence on them is a male. It's the absoluteness of the...

To join the conversation about the right to have punchable female antagonists and mooks for the heroes to kill, I am all for it. As a female myself, I know the sociological impact and reasons why it could be seen as wrong very well. However, it creates a very strong sense of unfairness...

He would have won if he had been declared insane,too. He did what he did, and no one can touch him about it, which he seems quite happy to point out. As for the reason he was declared sane, Brevik's plan was not only very complex (pretend he had a game addiction to cover his tracks) but also...

You know, let's forget the youtube comments for a while, and remember that they also tried to flag her video as terrorism AND get her Kickstarter off the site. That is hardly just malicious comments, that's all out vandalism. And for a documentary about sexism in games, that's pretty terrible.

First off, I'm not a Mass Effect fan, I have not played any of the games. I know some terms and some basic info. And that picture still bothers me. They should have artists who can draw a decent picture in the amount of time that was edited. Or maybe used some of the concept art posted...

I really like the dark gloomy tone of this song. Fits the world of the game to a T. To the point I'd say this might as well be an official piece for the game. Also, lyrics are spot on.

I agree with Bob that casting a black actor did not really make it worse. The fact is that the vikings in Thor themselves are a far cry from the Norse legends anyway (look at the comic Valhalla for more correct versions). However, the whole 'white guilt' issue can be a bit problematic to...

I know I am preaching for the choir, but whatever. Simply to put, atleast in my country (finland) all superhroes come from america. Unless they are jokes. Oh, plenty of people love them, but we really don't have our own superhero culture. If you look at it that strictly that is, we have...
