What he's saying now is not good stuff to be saying. 'He just wants a grope' it's like a freakin' Borat sketch now, or In the Thick Of It 'She orally pleased me but we did not have sexual intercourse'Blablahb said:Well, what's a disaster? Is some reactionairy hypersensitive Americans and a few extremist feminists being angry the same as a disaster?BrotherRool said:Wow this has turned into a disaster. I like the new Tomb Raider but this guy needs to Stop. Talking. Now.
At first he was being fine, the game was fine, there wasn't anything questionable about his motives or the scene itself and now he is just digging the most ridiculous hole.
And rape is an important issue, I never used to understand why but now I've seen more stuff I find it hard to see any scene in a film. There are a crud load of victims and lots of normal people with difficult lives can have really bad reactions or flashbacks from even the merest intention of a film, so unlike most things, discussion of how rape is being presented in fiction isn't really some reactionary thing only affecting moral white knights. Most of the white knighters don't even know enough to know what they're talking about probably.
So although we get bombarded with reactionists, I don't think that's necessarily true of this situation. I don't know you of course and maybe you've had some experience of the affect this particular issue has on peoples lives, and maybe a lot more than most, in which case I'll bow to you in this matter, but otherwise I think maybe it's a little too easy to be dismissive of these things. And whatever the case I hope we can both agree that this guy is not having a mature discussion about this, but is in fact putting his foot in it
