I don't see the problem with this plan. Let's just wait and see how this all pans out. Remember that most of the audience doesn't participate in message board arguments.

While the movie does look rather silly (as everyone pointed out, this premise has been done better, and I agree 100%), I don't see anything inherently wrong with Barbie being all sparkly and girly. Barbie and similar toys aimed at girls seem to always spur accusations of woman-hatred from...

That may be true, but communication is global now so it could have influenced the decision.

I'm not going to make an accusation that extreme without evidence. I only suspect political motivation since this comes on the heels of the anti-GTA petition and Hotline Miami 2's Refused Classification rating, both of which were applied for content deemed politically incorrect. I am open to...

That's where I disagree; I have a lot of sympathy for them. If anyone designs a game that goes beyond what self-appointed cultural mavens (SJWs, political organizations, etc.) find acceptable, you are "pissing people off" - the very people that seek to restrict the art you're allowed to make. It...

So in order for people to get along, one must insist that they are the same, and anyone who says otherwise must be silenced in the name of justice. And here I thought it was possible to get along with people who were unlike me. So much for diversity, I guess. Let's say the hypothetical...

So if I understand correctly, we're "not allowed" to talk about these differences in any way, since talking about the differences results in discrimination and injustice. Everyone must be an identical gray blob, though they are free to decorate themselves how they wish. The solution is always...

It's not that women and/or non-whites want to play. They already do, and have the time of their lives. It's how "inclusion," as defined by equality activists, is to be done. Instead of putting in the effort to make excellent games aimed at the under-served demographics, activists instead...

Because simply being male doesn't mean you wield any real power. And you don't even need to have a poverty-level income or be a discriminated minority; just being an average guy with a regular job doesn't give you some great power to do as you please. Like I said before, sniffing out who is...

The problem with sniffing out who is "privileged" is that it sniffs out who it is okay to deride and belittle and silence because "They've had it so good, amirite? It should be okay to treat them like crap due to their demographic characteristics. For equality." Justice and right simply...

Don't assume that a man is, by definition, privileged.

The fear is that "maybe this is problematic" will become "write/read story X and you're fired, you racist/sexist/homophobe." It follows a similar pattern to the older, right-wing moral crusades against video games. When Phyllis Schlafly and the like criticized video games as harmful to...

Here's why I think the reaction to feminist critiques of games is so vociferous: 1) Fear that feminist critique will lead to a climate of repression. As MysticSlayer pointed out, feminists critique video games to "(get) people to question stereotypes that they probably didn't even realize...
