It's not so much that BC is some kind of obligation, as that without it, both consoles have really anemic libraries which don't justify etc. etc. etc. I mean, it always takes new consoles a while to build up decent libraries, but at this point the smart thing for a consumer to do is wait a...

Specific quote and context, please?

I have yet to even watch her videos but as far as I'm concerned she's doing the Lord's work by luring the really horrid misogynists out into the open. There is a problem in our culture when the response to "Some video games might be kinda sexist, maybe" is "Let's threaten this person with violence!"

What specific games are we referring to here, though? Do we actually know they failed because they had female protagonists?

There's a middle being excluded here. WHY is there no room in this satire for female characters with agency? Like, not a single one?

The woman there has proportions that a human woman could realistically hope to attain and would not suffer crippling back problems, so it's not really comparable. Also, it was drawn by someone who knows how anatomy works.

Who's screaming? Who's getting into a frenzy? As far as I can tell it's the people worried that we'll end up with no cheesecake whatsoever, which is a silly thing to get worked up over because it will never ever happen.

The only poorly thought-out discourse I see here are the people bending over backwards to once again make clear that there is no sexism in gaming whatsoever, nosiree Bob! Seriously, the "HOW DARE YOU CALL US SEXIST" reactions to stories like this are always more hysterical and knee-jerk than any...

You're misreading my argument. If that were truly ALL that it took, there'd be hundreds of famous actresses. That hot girl you see on the street? She'd get a movie deal. That one cute waitress? Sitcom. That doesn't happen because in Hollywood, beautiful people are a dime a dozen. Paris...

That's still bigotry. It's not okay because you don't mean it. Your friend is an asshole.

If that was all it took, there would be a lot more successful actresses than there are. (And if it was required, character actors would not exist.)

So... what? Again, what evidence is this that she's lying about her gamer status? Less talented in your subjective evaluation, you mean. I'm not going to knock on Jennifer Hale, she does very good work (though I'd argue KOTOR was her big breakthrough in the gaming world- of course, she'd...

If someone says they're a gamer, I generally don't question them on this assertion, any more than if they claim they're a big fan of Duran Duran or that they really like fudge. Life is too short to care about these things. Do we have any evidence that she's NOT? If you're calling her...

An extra is a nonspeaking role by definition. You're thinking of bit players, which isn't really a technical term, but even then, hey, everyone can be important. I don't see why we have to denigrate everyone. As for "doing very little", how many web series have you written and starred in? I...
