    The boys club

    From my personal experience people wash out of pursuing a career in the creative industries do so because they're not really all that passionate about their field of study. They're just looking to get into a career where the work is relatively easy and the pay is good. Once the reality of the...

    It is and eventually I believe they will. But it is people like you who do a grave disservice to Muslim reformers by condemning any and all criticism of Muslims and Islam as hate speech or 'Islamaphobia'. The lynching of Farkhunda Malikzada [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Farkhunda] in...

    Au contraire. People like Cecilo will likely continue to think such things, until such time as more liberal-minded feminists call their more radical-minded cousins to account for the laws and governmental policies they implement in the name of feminism. So I would contest that dealing with...

    Diversity in feminism is irrelevant, if only one branch of thought consistently manages to make an effect upon government policy. In much the same fashion as religion I am far less interested in the inner workings of feminism itself then I am with the intersection between government and...

    They do seem to be active [http://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2014/feb/26/meps-vote-criminalise-buying-sex-european-parliament] in the European parliament as recently as 2014. For an ideological faction of feminists whose influence you seem to wish to downplay as largely irrelevant...

    They're not making cuts to the game. They're making savings!

    "Why don't they emphasis penises like that?!"

    There is no equivalent to the boob window for male characters because artists do not need to strategically cover certain portions of the male figure from the waist up in order to get their work professionally published. In fact there is precious little real estate on your average male character...

    What is the appeal of healthbar-em-up shooters?

    I honestly haven't played an entry in the twitch shooter genre in over a decade. I wouldn't say that I've been going out of my way to avoid them in recent years, it is just that nowadays they rarely contain a single player campaign that is worth the price of admission. So as I don't really...

    Fire Emblem Fates Cuts Petting From English Version

    Go ahead Nintendo. Keep making changes that aren't needed. To appease people that weren't going to buy your game anyway. To impress people that hate you. See how far it takes you.

    Controversial Fire Emblem: Fates Scene Dropped From Western Releases

    I already acknowledged that David Bowie's own understanding of his sexuality developed and changed over time. Now I think you're right in at least so far as that it is dreadfully important that everyone else acknowledge his last statements regarding his sexuality as the truth. However the fact...

    Controversial Fire Emblem: Fates Scene Dropped From Western Releases

    I just have this very rare condition called "common decency" that allows me to just simply believe individuals when they tell me what their sexual orientation happens to be. Their word is all I really need on the subject. In fact I strongly believe that a person's word is all that really anyone...

    Controversial Fire Emblem: Fates Scene Dropped From Western Releases

    Yes. Because clearly MarsAtlas of the Escapist forums knew the sexuality of David Bowie's better then David knew it himself. He is after all the definitive authority on the subject.

    Controversial Fire Emblem: Fates Scene Dropped From Western Releases

    There you go directly implying that the magical macguffin that her drink was spiked with did anything more then what the game tells us it did. All we are told that the magical powder does is, "The people who take this powder, amazingly, see people outside of themselves as the opposite gender."...

    Controversial Fire Emblem: Fates Scene Dropped From Western Releases

    If a white man named David Bowie can take all of the cocaine from the seventies and eighties and shovel it up his nose while fucking his way from straight to bisexual all the way through to full blown homosexuality, before then making a slow u-turn with his dick and fucking his way back through...

    Controversial Fire Emblem: Fates Scene Dropped From Western Releases

    Can you at least get some sort of bilingual Japanese/English version from Hong Kong or elsewhere? I have always resented censorship masquerading as a localisation effort. I'd rather not contribute to this stupidity. We've gone from self-appointed Christian moral authoritarians to...
