Can we stop beating dead horses?

[Hagi]

So Anita Sarkeensian just recently came out and said the Mass Effect 3 ending is really sexist.

What do you guys think?

She probably played it on a console didn't she?

Oh, of course.

It's less sexist on PC. And on a Mac it's not sexist at all. Because Macs are better.

Great, now we're going to have a series called "Macs vs Women." WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

Followed swiftly by a series called "Macs vs Men".

This is the end.

I for one welcome Siri as our new overlady.

Way to bring down the tone of the thread.

Just making sure that any horse loving necrophiliacs reading this thread feel welcome.

I may not post often but when I do, I do it with everyone in mind ^_^

Oh yeah, of course, we wouldn't want any horse-loving necrophiliacs to feel exclu... Wait, yes we would!

You should call her an overperson...robot...thing.

Reported for sexism.

[sup][sup]Not really of course[/sup][/sup]

Fine then. You stay in your naive, necrophiliac free little bubble of a world.

Me? I'll be out here keeping it real. Fo' sho.

This is the end.

Don't forget Macs vs Macs vs Women. And the occasional Mac user will get trotted out and immediately gain credibility.

After which, any discussion of Macs will break down into an argument over who is right: Anita Sarkeesian or Thunderf00t.

Can we still complain sexism in da vidya gaems?! Come on, you know you want to!

Sounds more like a Feminazi Führer!

I'm convinced Siri isn't like that. She'll put out if I just listen to her problems and stuff. I'm a nice guy after all, digital blowjobs here I come.

You keep using that phrase, but I don't think you know what it means. "Beating a dead hoarse" is when you have already won, but you keep attacking anyway. It is beyond thorough; it is a beating.

Every topic is worth discussing.

 

[ZippyDSMlee]

Um no between the drooling fan boys that can see no wrong and developers forced to regurgitate crap its time to get out the whack'o'matic and step up my game!

 

[Psychobabble]

Well awhile ago some of us suggested switching to beating live horses but too many people complained that was inhumane.

All kidding aside. MR. OP. If you want a change of subject hows about you come up with some scintillating conversation ideas rather than just adding to the litany of bitching that already fills these forums. Just a thought.

I absolutely agree. We should be beating dead cows instead.

But... that cow wouldn't die. It didn't die... it survived that beating, the bullets... How do we kill it? Fire? Would that even work?

Internet can we stop collectively beating dead horses? I mean at least the people here on the escapist who I have come to see are at least decently intelligent human beings that understand the concept of decency and politeness. For the most part anyway. So seriously can we just stop beating dead horses? For that matter can we stop beating dead horses with dead horses. There are a plethora of topics that come under fire near constantly and I'm tired of it. I'll list off the ones I can think of.

Matrix sequels
Star Wars prequels
Pirates sequels
Nintendo
Indiana Jones 4
Spider-man 3
Man of Steel
EA
Console wars
PC vs. Consoles

Just to name a few. If I missed some horses that you have seen here or around the internet elsewhere that you would like for people to just stop beating please post them below. The reason I'm sick of this is because some of the beating is unwarranted, some not all, and its just too much negativity. If we respond to anything new from certain things with scorn and derision we are all going to be very angry people and come on no one wants that. Especially around this time of year. So thoughts, horses you're tired of seeing getting beaten to death with other dead horses. Share.

Should add that Mass Effect 3 ending on there. Seriously, people keep bringing it up in topics that have nothing to do with ME3.

"So what's your favorite candy bar?"

"WAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!! THE MASS EFFECT 3 ENDING WASN'T WHAT I WANTED IT TO BE!!!"

Also: Protip: When someone asks "Why was the ending bad?" don't respond with "You don't get it". If you used that for an actual cause, you'd be laughed out of town.

I think she's living proof that people are still as easy to con out of their money as ever.

That cow is too cute to beat.

We should beat fowls instead. They're softer. Besides, gaming's in a phase, all started because of feminists bringing up issues, which was fine, and then Snarkeesian came. That was not fine; which in turn caused a domino effect that had been welling inside gaming for a whole. Let it pass.
