The characters in the Simpsons are bright yellow. Humans are not bright yellow. Therefore, it has no implications for a child's understanding of LGBT relationships.

That show's nonchalant attitude toward LGBT relationships is refreshing. While the guys kissing was part of the joke, it wasn't the butt of the joke. Clarence's teacher can't prove to anyone that she has a life outside being a teacher, so of COURSE the hunky guy she sees waiting for her blind...

If you want to understand why people disagree with you, it'd be better to not throw their views into such an extreme. Most people don't need these sorts of things super explicit, but we need something to go off of. Most evidence of their relationship before the finale IIRC happens offscreen...

In a perfect world, this conversation would be pointless. The whole point is that Link's "maleness" has nothing to do with his character. "Link" is a title given to a person who dresses in a tunic and saves shit with a sword and magic. You could cast Link in just about any role, and it...

I'd argue that while Samus Aran's character is minimalist, being female is really important to who she is. You've got the whole "surprise, I'm female" ending that gave her an important legacy in the gaming world, and the whole "motherly instict" thing about saving the baby Metroid. And Chell...

I have to say, man, these nominations aren't half bad, even if GTA5 will win GOTY. Gives me hope for an award show that DOESN'T suck (looking at you Grammys).

I'm sure the authors recognized they were acting "out of character." And when you have things like Batman managing to break a steel chain because he is angry, or a bat-shaped blood splatter, it should set off your "fantastical" detector. Maybe it's more of a meta-commentary on the roles of...

Yeah right? I mean, holy shit.

Serious question: What happens when you want to rent a particular movie? Maybe an older one. Netflix's selection sucks. I guess torrent, and then hook up my computer to a TV?

I dunno..Yeah competition is good. But exclusives are fake competition. How would an incentive to make cheaper consoles eliminate competition? The newer consoles haven't been THAT much cheaper over the generations, have they? Are there are other ways to differentiate yourself from your...

YEAH! That's why I don't listen to pop, electronica, or classical music. Because they're just not SAYING ANYTHING MAAAN.

This. Though, it's hard to see why a girl would choose to be friends that passive aggressively whine about it afterwords. The friend zone might be real, but it's not a phrase that anyone should be defending. It places the action on the one doing the rejecting, and it's not a stretch to say it's...

Just wanted to chime in to say great article. My eyes usually glaze over beyond the first paragraph on the Escapist, but it sounded like you really cared about what you were writing. This game's been on my shelf for years. Really makes me wish I had a not-shit computer to try out this ancient...

The message, to me, came across as "Until we can have these intelligent, calm discussions on a more regular basis, we will have to make due with strawmen." Just look at the number of comments in the last strip. Now, people make these sorts of strawmen all the time. But strawmen can be useful...

"What the fuck is this? These pictures look like a fucking parody of videogame sexualization. The article completely ignores that girl's lit up upside-down asscheeks hanging out of her suit. I can't be alone in this. I wonder if anyone in the comments section is complaining about this...
