You're so sick of the Zp fans, you continually post responses to them?
I dislike Zp but I find myself reading his articles, it's a shame because this one was actually quite good.
There is no discussion on it now because
one person has taken it upon themselves to respond like a douchebag to a minor comment on the whole.
Perhaps you should step away from the computer and go outside, take a walk do something else if "Aeris is a flaky bint" grinds your gears so much.
Not every one agrees with you about her being interesting, hell I certainly don't. Neither will I justify it to you because of the way you flipped off the handle like a spastic pelican.
This was pretty much the stereotypical rant of the fanboy, Good job.
OT: I hate the word, "Gamer" and I always have. I don't see people that play video games as such because it sounds more like a job description than a hobby.
People who play football aren't "Footballers", even if they play it every night with their friends in the park.
It's a hobby and something they enjoy, had they done it on a professional level then yes they would be footballers.
We've given ourselves a title which has only been associated with introverts and social pariahs, yet we feel comfortable with it.
Granted the modern era has reduced the flak from others somewhat, now game reach out to a wider variety of people and in some ways it's a good thing.
However even with that happening, those that identify themselves as gamers are still looked down upon because they don't disengage from that particular hobby, like the rest of the people.
I find "Girl gamers" to be a mixed bag, some of them can be ok and some of them can really play on their femininity and "make it work" for them.
Granted the guy will do anything just to hang out with a girl gamer and that's part of the problem. Not only do we place them on a pedestal, but eventually we kick it out from underneath them and they probably get a little furious because we don't treat them like we used too.
The girl gamer thing is mostly our fault, we don't treat them like equals off the bat and some of them come to expect things.
Some girls just want to play the game like anyone else, that's cool yet the others that don't and want to exploit their natural features ruin it for those that do.
That's why "Girl Gamers" get way more attention than others, even if they don't want it.
