Guess that makes me a weirdo then. :) I do get sucked into really good games. I occasionally have to remind myself that just because I save the galaxy and am the best leader ever in Mass Effect does not mean I should be replying to peoples bitchy comments with "Yeah? Well I'm Commander Shepherd...

Waitwaitwait, which bit do you disagree with? I think we agree on the more and more women part, and I assume developers will eventually pick up on this (when that is I have no idea, hopefully soon) I'm not 100% sure I agree with this part. I have mostly male friends (how did that happen?)...

I suppose both, really. In-game you get the stupidly muscle-bound, only wearing a loin-cloth type men and the made of boobs and butt type women, but it's got to have an impact on the people playing the games as well. You do see a lot of insecure gamers out there, is it possible that their...

Yeah, you'd think it wouldn't be that risky for a company to just put in the option of being a female, it doesn't necessarily have to change the story that much, and in the case of silent protagonists you don't even have to worry about voice acting and disk space. Yeah, I usually stay away...

Okay, taking your points on board. Should we then be trying to change the views of the game studios? Women do seem to be becoming more common in the gaming world even if they aren't yet a majority (probably never will be, I am totally fine with that). So how should we go about changing their...

Yeah, it's really hard to just take a deep breath and ignore all the antagonistic crap. It must have been pretty hard for you with a dad like that. *sympathy* Any games you think should have been handled differently? Or games that did it just right? I think Bioware is usually right on the...

I think the point that guy was making wasn't that all games involve prosti-women, I think he was countering the argument that the way women dress in real life proves that they like being objectified like they are in *some* games. You're quite right that in many (the majority of?) games women...

Ahahahaha! Seriously, though, much as I enjoy reading your posts, I think ignoring it would work better. As I mentioned, I knew a girl like him for years, and the only real way to "win" is to walk away. Although, come the zombie apocalypse, I still fully plan on killing her and saying I...

You're right there. I've never heard anyone picking on gays or women in TF2. Usually the douchebags pick on you because you're scoring higher than them. ;) Now that I think about that I'm not sure if that's better or not.

Oooh, cutting. I will now go cry, like the weak female I am. Guys, he's here to stay. As he doesn't respond to rational arguments we either have to make a concerted effort to ignore him so he gets bored and goes away, or we leave him to froth at the walls. You know, you remind me of this...

Sigh. You said you were going, so go. Like you said, you're not achieving anything here, so why bother. We could be having an intelligent discussion except that you're distracting everyone with your nonsense.

To return to sane discussion. I, for one, don't have that much of an issue with the amount of female protagonists. Most of the games I play have them as options. (Aside thought: is that because they have female protagonists? Would I play more, different games if they also had that option? I'm...

In what world is what I said there not a counter-argument? You may see it as shaming, but I was hoping you'd actually take on board what I said and fix yourself up. Believe it or not the existence of broken, sexist people like you doesn't exactly fill me with joy. I would be much happier if...

What, no counter-arguments at all? Can't think of any? Nothing I've said is false either. What, exactly, is it that I don't like hearing? The stupid sexist shite spewing from you? Yes, obviously. I could go back through this thread and pick out your points and demolish them one by one, but if...

I figured out by your second post that you have a serious issue with women, but now I'm really beginning to wonder what happened to you that has made you despise women so. The pretty girl at school humiliate you? You do realise that whining on the internet about how awful women are isn't...
