Don't you think the reason people, (Not just Jim, Bob made this same point a good while ago), keep talking about these problems may be because they haven't stopped being problems?Monxeroth said:So i heard you like beating dead horses :U
Truth =/= Urgency
One does not trivialize the other and vice versa and one is not objectively more harmful even if it would be a lot more frequently occuring for example.
Wonder what tired old subject will be tackled next week
DRM?
Bad Business Practices?
Really starting so sound like a broken record by now but oh well...
Every dog has his/her day. Even Coyotes.Jimothy Sterling said:I bet on this episode of Road Runner, the coyote tries to catch the bird and fails. Fuck this show.
If that was your problem why did you not say that instead of suggesting I'd tackled this topic in my series already, which is factually incorrect?Monxeroth said:It really is and thats why we use terms like broken record and beating a dead horse because well...thats all there is to it if no new perspective is brought up or if someone has already said it better before.Jack and Calumon said:All very good points and arguments that have, unfortunately, been covered many times by many people for about a year now. Sure, people still use this defence so you could argue it bears repeating, but honestly this has been said ad nauseum. No new perspectives were brought up, no new ideas, just the ones covered by everyone else.
Not that it detracts from the points you've made. I firmly agree, it's just dull to see what you've seen before.
Calumon's sleeping, I'm lazy. Bleck.
I really see no point in arguing and or debating for well...the sake of debating because we need to debate about the debate and need to debate the debate...*headache*
People often say to other people critisizing opinionvideos like these for: Well if you have something better to say why dont you make it yourself?
Well i would if it wasnt already said better by someone else so im not gonna waste other peoples time with simply watching a video of my opinion that is already very similar to someone elses video with for example better content value.
I have something better to say but its not different enough to justify it being said at all just for the sake of saying it, that kind of defeats the point of debate if it becomes stagnant with the same viewpoints being formulated differently time and time again
Actually that is what a debate is. The point of a debate is to get your point across, and change people's minds. You do this by reiterating your point in as many different ways as it takes to get the furthest person to your side. That is the how you debate, and even a simple discussion.Monxeroth said:Thankfully I'm not one of those however I will say "Lets talk about it but just not repeat ourselves with the same thing so that it doesn't become as much of a discussion and more of a "pls-agree-with-me-footrace""jokulhaups said:Cue the masses claiming, "this isn't a problem, stop talking about it".
In the sense that, yeah i like that we're having the discussion I just don't like any discussion, discourse and debate to be one-sided or to be basically all the people saying the same thing but formulated differently, that's not what debate is to me.
This is almost like debating how Creationism has equal standing with Evolution as a science.Monxeroth said:Thankfully im not one of those however i will say "Lets talk about it but just not repeat ourselves with the same thing so that it doesnt become as much of a discussion and more of a pls-agree-with-me-footrace"jokulhaups said:Cue the masses claiming, "this isn't a problem, stop talking about it".

You'd be surprised to find out just how many people don't know or haven't seen things that you would think that everyone should have heard about already.Jack and Calumon said:All very good points and arguments that have, unfortunately, been covered many times by many people for about a year now.

And we're done, those games are sold almost exclusively in Japan, Jim's mostly talking about Western attitudes with the objectification thing. That's including the Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball footage he used, cuz that was sold in the West.grumpymooselion said:Good points Jim, but, perhaps you've forgotten - there are male characters made for a female audience.
Male characters made for specifically a female audience, usually a teen female audience, over in Japan.
Basically because it's a killer example.Xman490 said:Jim has used the DoA: Beach Volleyball trailer as an example of female objectification way too much. Granted, it's a pure example, but it's in almost every video Jim has done regarding the topic of women.
