I'm typing... I've been typing... For too long. You know, despite a few snips here and there that were slightly grating to me I have found your post to be an easy read. It's provoking because I don't agree with tons of it but it's an easy read in that there is a reasonable brain behind it as...

You know what, Madmonk? You are part of the problem. A big part. Too many people aren't looking reasonably at how best to provide the OPPORTUNITY for women to play a bigger role in the gaming industry. Some would argue that such an opportunity has existed now more than ever with the indie...

How in the world is declaring that there is an industrywide problem targetting a small group? Are you talking exclusively about "oh, if you make gay jokes you must be gay" stuff? What is there to defend? It's pop-psychology BS nonsense and doesn't actually help anything. Which is fine...

The issue there is that all that is is pop-psychology nonsense that doesn't actually have any sort of record of proving to be true. It's simply something people say to try to add some sort of coming-of-age teen film "bully gets it in the end" irony to the things people say. Nothing more and...

The most dangerous words we can use as gaming enthusiasts is "it's not needed." I'm not trying to pick on your specifically and multiple people have said something similar in this topic but I want to comment on the sentiment as a whole... "It's not needed" or "it's not necessary" or words...

A few fun points... Dynasty Warriors 6 (and I think 5 as well, but 6 was the worst of all the games, including 1) had a "limited saves depending on difficulty" feature which I found to be rather hilarious because "saving" was being factored in to the difficulty of the game. So when people...

The part you should consider is what is the point if all three characters are the same? And if they're not the same how do you account for those who may not be Hard level players but like the Hard level character? It just seems to make more sense, allow more freedom and accomplish more to...

Which hurts no one. The goal of some, of course, being to bleed the issue of "not suited to my style/taste" with the completely different issue of harmful sexism. Sexism being a term used so broadly that I don't even know if it can be considered objectively bad by the definitions used by some...

Uh oh! MEN did it! What was the name of that video game character that picked out her own clothes? You know... the one that created herself? Additionally, it's not OK to assume all women are similar but it is OK to assume that the entire Team Ninja team is male (because this wouldn't be a...

There are some of the worst arguments ever in this forum. It's great how because some men like having muscles, suddenly no women can find them attractive or something. Because muscles = "power fantasy" (or whatever other convenient excuse to dismiss someone can come up with) all women...

This is the kind of nonsense I'm talking about. Look at the ridiculous wording. "You are acting like video gaming is just for guys." Literal creation of a problem out of thin air. All that's being proven is that Moonlight Butterfly is super thin-skinned and not very good at comprehension. You...

Simple. You cannot believe any of this is an isolated problem for women, an assault on their gender and and effort targeted specifically at them to "keep them out" unless you believe all or most of what I said above. You have to ignore the general atmosphere of abuse on the internet if you want...

Hmmm... so it appears that, for the sake of equality, we need to call for change if one specific group is subjected to what a number of others have been putting up with. And we pay special attention to whether someone calls attention to someone's gender in a negative way, rather than look at the...
