Indeed, this is correct.

It depends on the definition for objectification in a non-literal sense. The op seems to describe scenes of gratuitous male nudity or partial nudity. But a scene here or there is hardly objectifying. In general the term objectifying has very little to do with physical appearance, though that...

I gave up on Sonic Boom the minute I heard the hype machine begin to mention puzzle solving as part of the gameplay. I feel like you couldn't miss the point of Sonic any harder if you tried. But to hear its a buggy ass mess, well, not too surprised there either, frankly. They dont seem to care...

Evolve. It looks awesome, but its also multiplayer, and I'm crap at multiplayer.

Depends on the context of the interactions and conversations. If you're having conversations about things relevant to those areas, then it would be best not to assume. BUT, considering that the majority is heterosexual and that heterosexuality is, in some ways, a biological default (clarity...

Its not that unrepresented peoples positions are "better", just that they're different. IT is undeniable FACT that women, african americans, gays, transgenders, pretty much any 'minority' has a life experience that is different from 'straight, white male'. That doesn't mean they're more...

Another thought came to mind, and that is understanding of the two core audiences for the 3DS. Which is to say, core Nintendo fans and younger kids. And while core fans might get over the upgrade and pony up, I know many young kids' parents almost universally refuse to upgrade right away...

That is exactly what so many in this thread are upset about. That another new format is coming just a few short years after the last, when so many people are only just now, or have only recently made the leap to 3DS, now there's another one, with all new games they won't have access to unless...

It's new gen insofar as at least one game is being produced specifically to work on this system and not the existing 3DSs. Should that turn out to be the only one, I will retract my complaint. However I seriously doubt that will be the case. I suppose time will ultimately tell, but for now I am...

But the thing is, the 3ds HASNT been out for a while. It launched in feb/march of 2011, not even 4 years ago. If Nintendo wants to make a new gen handheld, fine, but to do it less than 4 years from their last one is not cool.

While maybe not as upset as you, I agree that this is a bad look. This coming from someone who sells video games for a living. Trust me, whenever I hear a customer come in and say, "My son was looking for something called the 'DS'", my entire brain begs me to run away screaming. Its already a...

As something of an amateur writer myself, as well as someone who is supportive of diversity, I think I can say pretty conclusively that its actually somewhat detrimental to the cause to force creative individuals or groups to be beholden to a certain set of 'diversity requirements. The question...

If this were in regard to some on-field offense, or at least something related to the activities of football, I would agree. But given the severity of what he did, I'm far less interested in the league's punishment of him than I am in what the law does to him. Chances are, if charges are filed...

As most have said it kinda has double meanings, one positive, one not. In the derogatory sense, I've always had the impression that it's a term used to characterize someone who 'falsely' stands up for social issues, but in actuality does it less to further the actual cause, and more to be...

OR within less than 4 decades of his passing. Who's counting?
