    Getting Furious Over "Girlfriend Mode"

    I honestly read girlfriend mode as a joke, and as such laugh it off as one. This is like a non-issue. The value of offense is, how invested you are in identifying it with yourself or others. If you're not a newbie, then why make an issue out of it, and just laugh at it for 5 seconds, and...

    The Big Picture: Tropes vs. MovieBob

    Oh yeah... That's actually kinda what I said in my larger post. Didn't really catch the connection until now though. Thanks! :D

    The Big Picture: Tropes vs. MovieBob

    It's because men generally accept their objectification. Don't really know why, though. OT: The problem doesn't lie in how women are portrayed, but about how women WANT to be portrayed. I find it silly to be honest. Bob's argument builds upon men idealizing muscles and brawn, which isn't...

    Oikos university shooting

    You can't sit there and apply GENERAL morales to the guy, when he acted out of his OWN vengeance, for the way he was treated. That treatment was enough to push him beyond the edge of taking people's life. People rarely kill out of pleasure or any kind of random urge, rather, they do it out of...

    Best Animation Style Ever

    I've watched plenty. To be fair though, I watched Katanagatari since my first post, which does actually do the "art tells the story" thing (quite good aswell). So yeah, maybe its a coincidence that I haven't bumped into the "visual storytelling" as often as I should. Who knows.

    Best Animation Style Ever

    Noted. I did take it into consideration in my post, but its probably not as clear though. Sorry. It was the actual implementation that I put emphasis on, like using the monologue to over-explain things. Things that COULD be told through the art. I don't really know why they keep doing though...

    Best Animation Style Ever

    I'll just throw it out there that animes tend to have monologue (both outer and inner), while western, from my esperience with, usually doesn't. Often the monologue tends to be badly handled (for eastern and western genres), too. I've seen few anime that actually incoorperates the visual...

    Sony's G.I.R.L. Game Design Scholarship Offers $10,000

    This. Just this. I was waiting for a post like this to drop and BOOM! Here it is. It's only a problem, if we make it a problem. Where I work, 90 percent of the staff are female, but it doesn't matter, because people are persons first and gender second. It doesn't matter who does the job...

    Japanese Censors: Sexually Aggressive Women Turn Kids Gay

    Implying that ones happiness is tied to an other person. I know you probably didn't mean it that way, I just wanted to point it out. OT: A bit silly issue, if I you ask me. I believe the committee is making a bigger deal out of it than it really is, but since Japan is such a hive-mind...

    Sexually Active Teenage Boys Risk Small Reproductive Organs....

    Seems bullshit. The expert are very careful with their words, as opposed to the reporters interpretation. Besides, it's Fox News :P
