So what about a game like Hatred ? Where the developers say they created it because they are tired of everyone being politically correct but in fact the game is just about gratuitous violence and certain people will buy the game just because large sectors of society are appalled by it and criticize it? Are you guys fine with this type of game ?

There is nothing wrong or to be embarrassed about when it comes to male nudity I support your request\demand

Good points raised TN

Guys seriously...if you are not watching Salem then you simply are just not living Its on Season 2

I am confused by your confusement. In the poster that was thrown in the thread, Faith from Mirrors Edge is taking a side. IIRC, EA had Anita Sarkeesian as a creative consultant on how to remodel Faith in Mirror's Edge 2. How did you feel about that on personal level? Do you think Anita is justified in this case or do you think her intentions are misplaced? I realize it's not directed at me, but honestly they should have picked another woman to do it. Anita just screams that they're trying to capitalize on a PR stunt, and a lot of Anita's work is honestly misleading at best. Bring Jane Austen back from the dead, or pick somebody from the industry who feels that there is sexism in the workplace. Not some random outsider who's only known because her views are... controversial to say the least. Sure, I can understand that perspective. I think its unfair to label Anita ( or most person ) a certain way due to past comments or events but the reality is there are people who will automatically dismiss anything she says even if it is valid..yet I can also justify where some of the criticism comes from towards her

You kidding right? I never know when you are being serious .. It's intentional, or at least to 40%. It keeps people on edge and it tingles their paranoidal senses. Which is good as that requires people to think harder than before. Or maybe not. Maybe it is just an experiment in Jungian psychology. But what moral decree do democrats swear upon that republicans lack? Is it the one when they chose to side with the southern states before the civil war and were pro-slavery? Or was it the one when Johnson signed the civil rights bill? Or was it the one when Ron Paul demanded all military bases to withdrawn from the middle east? Or was it the one when Obama extended the Patriot Act? Or was it the one when he demanded JSOC to attack globally, causing 2000 innocent deaths in assassin missions that we know of as collateral deaths? What is morally good here? Look at you ...getting all technical with me No I was just joking, you generally cannot say any one political party has the moral high ground over another one . In fact many people would argue that words " moral politics" are an oxymoron because many think politics is an immoral practice. I don't think that but I hear that many times So its not really applicable to look at political parties in a moral context, we measure them in other ways

Yeah certain characters represent something symbolically so even though they aren't real they become a talking point

You kidding right? I never know when you are being serious .. Its a simple understanding...any political view or direction that is opposed to all the improvements that Obama in the USA is automatically considered morally bankrupt and needs to be scrutinized Get with the program Meshugger, everyone knows that !!!!

If it's Paul I can assure you we'll have a deal with Iran pretty quickly. The guy likes our situation with Iran less than Obama. Any other republican though? That's a different story. If Paul isn't the GOP nominee I might have to vote.. Democrat... :( I guess at that point I wouldn't vote at all. Vote Democrat Namutree, you will sleep better at night knowing you made the right moral decision

Its important to have a functional and well funded army...what if ISIS invades the USA through Mexico, this should concern all Americans immensely Well another bill mentioned in the email I got from Mrs Earnst, they're pushing the bill to force the President to allow congress to approve or veto any deals with Iran... and to arm and train the Kurds in Iraq to combat Isis (Or any closely related successor group.) Well I can understand the reasoning behind training the Kurds, they are pro-Western and seem really prepared to engage with ISIS. They just need training and resources But the Iran bill worries because what if after all the hard word that Obama does to ensure a peaceful settlement with Iran gets undermined by the next USA president who could be Republican?

Seems a bit strange that GG would have any women as a mascot considering how the movement feels about women and treats them ?

50 were identified as far as I'm hearing and there were trained at that. They were smuggled from Kosovo and put in to hiding in the city until the conflict started. This was no armature hour operation and the scary thing is that there was one suicide bomber. Finnish news say that there are 30 people that got charged for terrorism from which 18 was Kosovo's Albanians, because of last weekends violence. They also mention that 22 people got killed in clashes that lasted over day, and it is mentioned that 8 of the dead were police officers. Where? hs.fi didn't have anything... Links go to pages that are written in Finnish. http://yle.fi/uutiset/makedonia_vangitsi_30_viikonlopun_tulitaistelun_jaljilta/7987268 http://www.ts.fi/uutiset/ulkomaat/769176/Makedoniassa+30lle+syytteet+terrorismista+enemmisto+kosovolaisia http://www.mtv.fi/uutiset/ulkomaat/artikkeli/makedoniassa-30-sai-syytteen-terrorismista/5078670 HS.fi don't have article about charges, but they have couple about violence http://www.hs.fi/ulkomaat/a1431226600002 http://www.hs.fi/ulkomaat/a1431139450753 http://www.hs.fi/ulkomaat/a1431223019024 Elerond !!!! No one speaks Finnish on these forums...you know that , that language is just impossible to understand

Wow GG sure has load of enemies.....you guys really don't know how to make friends do you ?

Well the same thing can be said for, say, the overwhelming majority of your fellow human beings, yet their existence is generally not portrayed as a problem. I may be missing something here. No that is a solid point, I would like to see how the boys respond

Blacklist is amazing. Seasons 1 and 2 were simply outstanding, can't wait for the release of season 3. The Following was cancelled after season 3 (although there are rumours of it being picked up by Netflix or someone else). Yeah I stopped watching The Following after season 1 But Penny Dreadful season two is out now and as before its excellent

Volo don't be naive, we need governments or there will be anarchy throughout society. And no one wants that

Sadly, it's probably already out in Japan. If the reaper has tentacles you can be sure it has. You people saying it like it is a bad thing. Liars. Nope. I didn't pass judgment on whether that was a good or bad thing; just that it probably already existed. If you really want to broaden the appeal make the pony transgendered. Its a good idea in principle but the idea of making an animal transgender is probably taking the inclusive message a bit far ?

Nonek .....that post is completely unacc.......actually its very funny, it made me laugh ..."Romanceable "

It appears you stumbled on this thread under the mistaken impression that a serious discussion of what it says in the title is going on here. When in fact, this is a therapeutic thread where a ...troubled individual with a narrow notion of what a women's face should look like, can publicly unravel their psyche. The main benefit of this thread for the rest of us, is that it serves to contains that individual's pet peeve discussion in one place, and will hopefully mean that they'll stop derailing other threads with it. Also, those not too creeped out by it may be able to derive some entertainment value from this thread... You funny You never told me you were funny ?

Do you think COD is an inclusive game? To be honest I am not sure how you would really change it a meaningful way? Would you now throw in token gay or female characters just to pander to a group of people that probably will never play it?I have never played COD and I doubt I ever will, its irrespective of how inclusive they make it. You can compromise on many games like Witcher and expect them to be more understanding of certain SJ pressures and realities but some games just can't change..COD is probably one of them?

That's interesting, I like that perspective So all the debates we have over SJ issues, for example, in this virtual world are actually a manifestation of the same issues in RL ?

I thought Bioware's obective was to make fun RPGs not romance games But ok, I see what you mean by demographic then, though I think GD was focusing on the romantic relationships rather than the Bro party member (there's always one) being homosexual. Correct Sir! You can shut the whole messy thing down by just eliminating romances all together. I mean really, do any of them really work or feel organic? I'd say no. Or do what Skyrim did and just minimalize it. If you do either no one feels offended and you can concentrate on making the game story make sense. No THERE is something that could USE a little effort. GD, stop being a naughty boy !!! Your comment may be true but its not really relevant because Bioware games will always have Romance, I would say Romance has become a trademark of Bioware so they will never be removed from Bioware games. Of course that doesn't mean that Romance should be the most important part of an RPG, not at all. They are just a part of the party interaction. An appealing and appreciated part of party interaction but still just a part of party interaction. There are many other components of a RPG that need to be memorable and entertaining and therefore I would say are more important than Romance, like the narrative? The goat in the brothel was something indeed Trying to include the whole fanbase is impossible though, as some groups are mutually exclusive in their likes/dislikes and tolerances/intolerances. Sure I agree, which is why companies like Bioware are clear on what there games contain and if you don't like that or feel uncomfortable with there design decisions then you don't have to play there games?

I thought Bioware's obective was to make fun RPGs not romance games But ok, I see what you mean by demographic then, though I think GD was focusing on the romantic relationships rather than the Bro party member (there's always one) being homosexual. I firmly believe Biowares objective is to make fun RPG's but if you can also be inclusive and appeal to whole fanbase then why not do both? And lets be honest the whole LGBT aspect of Bioware games isn't a massive part of the overall gameplay..its basically optional and is something you can ignore if you want?
