Well this was nice Anyone knows where to send it to?

This seems relevant http://guardianlv.com/2014/11/anita-sarkeesian-unmasked-feminist-icon-or-con-artist/

I don't argue with women, otherwise I talk myself out of sex. Sometimes even during.

I know, I load it up once in a while just because it brings a wide grin to my face. Now if they develop Occulus support then I might actually consider never leaving it.

Hey, you're back. Edit: we need to celebrate

Yes and bugs; Ubisoft games now feature bugs, plus for all the bluster about the writer saying that the protagonist wasn't going to be a "white savior" he is written as the whitest guy on earth. At least Jason Brody had a personality and a great nickname (Snow White). FarCry 4 is all the bits from 3 without the fun, with all the tedium, and with worse writing. They did give you a grapple hook that eases the whole running around a mountain to find a way through. So there's at least that.

If anyone has to make my children bleed is going to be me...I don't have any children though.

You really like that comic don't you?

Thank you Jesus, and just in time when every woman seems to have come down with a bad case of feminism. Now if only they could program them to do their own hair and makeup and cleaning. I really don't want to have to do those things.

In fairness, they are pretty dreamy. Even as a heterosexual male, I'm finding it hard to resist. Dr Kinsey would like a word with you

We're all better now, no need to feel sad. Possibly one of the most defining things about my life so I can't bring myself to regret it as I like myself as I am now. Edit: Also, move along. The thread has derailed.

I don't like the Oscars or any other self aggrandizing, self fellating show. I don't see why games need one, particularly since any game that's bound to get an award would had been hyped to the moon and back.

No, just harassed. I have met with people that were molested or raped (some even in my family) but I pretty much was made aware from a young age that the world wasn't safe. And since tone is hard to convey online here is a smiley

You'd be amazed the things that human beings become accustomed to.

No, the burden of proof lies with the prosecution. The suspects may not have proof they are not guilty, but the responsibility to prove that they are guilty lies with the prosecution. This is the way it should be, as convicting someone for not being able to prove a negative is not a very good standard for a legal system. It would certainly suck of someone was convicted because they stayed home alone and didn't have an alibi for a murder that occurred close to them or involved someone they were in conflict with. To get back to this rape law: you're a father I believe? If one of your kids were accused of rape by someone they had casual sex with and could not prove that it was consensual and the accuser could not prove that it wasn't consensual, why should they bear the burden of proof for a baseless accusation? Shouldn't the accuser be required to bring at least some proof of rape before making accusations? But this isn't a baseless accusation, this is a woman (or man) going into a police station, going through the interview process, submitting to tests, etc. It's an incredibly difficult thing to go through for a victim, hence they high rate of unreported assaults. As for my own children, I hope to raise them with the beliefs that casual sex is inherently dangerous. I want them to take precautions. Do you have unprotected casual sex? Probably not, that would be crazy. Well, making sure that the sex is consensual should be right there alongside wearing protection. It's better to be safe. Sorry, to keep the derailment. That difficult process of gathering evidence is what will make sure that the perpetrator is caught and convicted. Without it all you have is someone's word against another's and I witness testimony is almost always unreliable, particularly on stressful situations. If the accused has to provide the evidence of something that he/she didn't commit would a lack of evidence be considered enough to dismiss the case? Or would it be enough to convict them if they can't prove it? Either this legislation is just something to appease the torches and pitchforks and the law and how they treat sexual assault will remain the same. Or they will begin throwing more men into prison due to faulty testimony or malicious.

I'm not sure that it works exactly like that, since clearly you will have repeat offenders among the males. I am pretty surprised how quick some of you are to deny that this is a real problem, considering you all spend a lot of time on the internet. There is a tremendous amount of disturbing bleep out there. Have you ever been to a club where a girl is way too intoxicated? I've seen groups of men move in like moths to a flame, and I can tell you, they aren't going over to her to be gentlemen. I guess it is somewhat refreshing that so many of you doubt these numbers, because maybe that means you all are good guys who treat women respectfully. That's important. But that also means we should believe women when they say they have been assaulted. I have to concur with Hurlshot when it comes to scale. I'm lucky enough to know some pretty strong women, and one of the most awful things I learned as we became friends is how many had been forced (or intimidated using force) into sexual activity. I reject the notion that most men think rape is OK. But this isn't like marriage. One male who is either ignorant or just doesn't care can affect multiple women. The more they do it, and don't get caught or otherwise stopped, the more they think it's OK, and the more they do it. Try also to imagine what rape is like to the victim. I'm not sure you can. I'm extremely fortunate in that I have been threatened with rape and got out of it (a foreign policeman, but that's another story). I'm not a weak person, but when I realised it was on the cards I got within a millimetre of going completely to pieces. It was absolutely bloody awful. 100 times worse than knowing you're going to get a beating. First timers, :sighs: Wait, what? After a while you sort of tune it out or it doesn't bother you that much.

Yes, and?

You should totally tell that to the creator.

Funny, I fully expect that 200 years from now Nintendo will still be making Mario games...and Zelda games.

I think we already have games that stand the test of time, Tetris being the one that pops to mind. The problem is that most people saying that games are art are doing it because of the visuals or the story, is never about the rules and mechanics; you know, the game bits.

Aye, I guess a lot of grief could be avoided in these discussions if you dirty feminists could just use a terminology that's not so damn inflammatory / you ignorant twats would just look up what people actually mean by using words that have very specific meanings in the specific context they're mentioned. (Everyone feel free to pick one according to the tribe they feel like belonging to). Can we be the Obsidian tribe? I really don't like the other people on the web.

Is your first name Jim?

Why do I have the nagging feeling that neither of you have read the article in question? Of course I have. Rich celebrities get even away with murder from time to time. I have still not met a guy or a group that jokes about rape, blames the victim and pat each other on the back about it. But of course i mingle with industry professionals, not the entertainment industry. And they haven't invited you to their "Rapey,Rapey, fun-time club"? Shows how much they think of you.
