    Hitting the Club

    This is pretty much what I was working with. I get that not everyone thinks like me or stupenderifous here though. I contemplated it. In the end, I tried to make the article about how general societal perception of strip clubs clashes and/or correlates with how they're represented in games...

    The R Word

    Great article. To people arguing that this is somehow restricting free speech, it's really not. You're free to say whatever you want, especially within the comfort of people who you know aren't offended by dumb language, but why even risk hurting someone, unintentional or not? You don't use...

    Get Back Up

    Here: http://jezebel.com/5918222/the-rapey-lara-croft-reboot-is-a-fucked+up-freudian-field-day That's probably a good representation of the anti-New Lara design choices crowd. Argue with this, not me. Again, my intent wasn't to advocate either way; I just saw misguided commenters claiming...

    Get Back Up

    I could be wrong, but most of the comments here are objecting to the idea that people who are up in arms about the trailers are only up in arms "because it's a woman." "If it were a man," you'd say, "then none of these whiners would be talking. It's unfair towards men." I think that would be...

    Hitman: Plan B

    Lol. Not quite "exact words," but yeah, women in video games, sure. I blew up Nuketown after all. You made it sound like I meant women in general. That was the source of confusion on my end. The problem here, as has been said, is the sexualization of the women being killed, not solely the fact...

    Hitman: Plan B

    I apologize if I came off as condescending. Anyways... If you can separate your games from reality well enough to completely ignore the message being implied here, then more power to you. But games often reflect reality, and game trailers like these sure as shit try to appeal to real people...

    Hitman: Plan B

    True, but you're acting as if this was an actual, fluid event, and not some predetermined, desperate cry to publicity created by a group of marketing people. These are virtual models, remember, deliberately put in extremely sexual outfits and deliberately killed in those outfits. The idea is to...

    Hitman: Plan B

    Here's what I think we should learn from this people: 1. Objectifying women is wrong. 2. Men like myself need to understand and realize the privilege they implicitly carry with them every day of their lives. 3. Nobody thinks killing a woman in a videogame is the end of the world, but...
