Isn't that part of the problem, though? Referring to it as 'benevolent sexism' straight-up infers that this kind of attitude is a good thing. OT: It's obscenely poor wording for some feminists to complain when double standards fall in their favour. It just makes them look like hypocrites, though.

People have been saying 'The Escapist is dying/dead' since 2008. Some people even said it in 2007 when Zero Punctuation started drawing people in. I've said it a good few times myself. I'm adopting a wait-and-see approach. Jim Sterling and Greg Tito weren't too bad on the grand scheme of...

I love the irony of him calling out shonky journalism though. It's a statement so rich it could buy New Caledonia. On-Topic, I hope that this isn't as sign of The Escapist following the Kotaku business model... well, more than it already is. We have enough clickbait as it is, I hope the new...

Charlie Brooker is definitely one of my favourites, although more from an entertainment perspective than anything else. I don't share his tastes entirely, but I adore his dry sense of humour. For actually deciding on what to buy, watch and play though, I'd say that I always come back to...

I can answer that one for you. It's more of a matter of keeping everything in character, to be honest, and The Wolf Among Us is intended to be a prequel to the first issue of the comic. As you might have gathered, Snow and Bigby's leadership is very primarily focused on The Law, and enforcing it...

As an addendum though, I was pretty happy that Nintendo took everyone's excitement about "female" Link to heart. Given that the creative director is very seriously considering making it a thing, I think this serves as a fine example of how to push diversity in the right direction in the games...

I appreciate diversity, so long as it doesn't feel forced. Truth be told, I don't particularly care what gender, sexuality or racial ethnicity the character I'm either playing as or interacting with is, so long as it makes sense and isn't obvious 'progressive' dick-swinging. I'm certain I'm in...

Man, I remember being at Escapism! Labyrinth taught me the ways of Let's Go Jungle, I (unsuccessfully) challenged Indigo_Dingo to a console war (he threatened to throw me into the Darling River), and everyone laughed at my reaction to Ultrajosephine. What can I say? I was 16 at the time and UJ...

What about The Venture Bros. and Superjail? I don't think that's the angle Seth Macfarlane wants to take with the series at all. Fox News is a completely different channel to its similarly-named associates.

In the past few years I started noticing that as well. It's one of the reasons I don't post much here anymore. OT: The volunteer mods are just following the rules and I can't fault them for that. But someone in charge should have at least made an exemption in the case of that thread, or at...

I should reiterate that I really don't care what the subject of a joke is, so long as it's done tastefully. Or failing that, at least done well. To be honest, the real punchline of these comics are the comments sections. The craft is what interests me, not the intended audience. The Penny...

Oh come on, the Webcomic White Knights is so much better than the source material. You might have a point if I were neither a Tumblr user, a liberal, or someone who likes this comic for the most part. Unfortunately for you, you don't. Besides...

Oh, I know that they're both strawmen. As a Tumblr user myself, I'm aware that I'm not the kind of person being described here. I'm saying this is an example of a strawman that is actually funny, regardless of agreement or disagreement. That's what made the that comic's parodies so much funnier...

I swear this will be the last thing I post unless someone responds to one of mine, but I just thought I should let you know that this pretty much sums up what I was trying to say better than I could. If this forum had Likes or Upvotes or something, you'd have one from me.

After going through the comments, I agree. As someone who was openly against the 'white guy defence force', I feel like I should say I like this one because it doesn't specifically strawman a demographic, merely trends on a particular social media outlet. Something tells me that if Grey and Cory...
