This picture I made on my own. What's so special about it? The mass amount of comments from various people I generated from what the pic is about of course! Warning: May start Paleontology-related Flame Wars |

It's both a mistake and intentional. The intentional bit? The Giga is standing in a Tripod pose off screen like most LBT theropods do. The mistake? I made the thing too high up in the panel even with the previous info in mind. |

Because every female character ever created in the history of creative arts (including traditional artistic mediums) has been completely ripped apart by "teh femnists" for being a trope/stereotype/misogynist's wetdream. The problem that feminists have with female/minority characters in gaming is that they are grossly under-represented. Are there going to be assholes who complain no matter what? Of course there will be, but there are already assholes who do that about male characters. Any character that relies on stereotypes or tropes, be they male or female, to "sell games" or "be popular" is the result of lazy fekking writing and development, and not something to hold up as an industry standard, i.e. "If we want to make interesting female lead characters, they'll have to be as stupid, inept, and awkward as our male characters, and you guys will hate it anyway!" It's also intellectually disingenuous to pretend that strong, smart, capable male characters don't exist in (over)abundance in gaming. This entire "argument" boils down to "Writing complex, fully realized characters, whether male or female, is hard, so just stop whining already and give us your money!" So, so, SO sick of people rolling their eyes at this issue or twisting it into something that it's not. Female gamers, by-and-large, WANT to be represented in their gaming experience either through playable character options or, at the very least, titles that aren't jam-packed with bikini-clad "empowered" women who exist as arm-candy or damsel tropes. Games that, at the VERY least, they can willfully suspend disbelief and insert themselves into, y'know, just like male gamers can. This is the same goddamn nonsense that women and girls put up with at conventions. "You dressed up like that because you want attention, so don't whine when I touch you without permission!" "You're not a 'real' nerd, you just like this stuff now because it's popular!" Sorry to piss on your party, bros, but we're not going away and we're not going to shut up or go make you a sammich. Get over it and stop alienating other human beings who are just as passionate about the nerdy, geeky, stupid, fun shiat you're passionate about. /rant. |

Cas, I don't quite understand. Did you by any chance take my amusement and statement under the pic as support of things you're ranting about? |

No, Mat, I know you too well to make that mistake. I'm ranting about the OP's mansplaination. And Kevin, there is an ignore feature available on the site. If you don't want to see my ranting, feel free to add my name to your list. It doesn't cost you anything, and it's certainly no skin off my teeth. Just click on my username, go to Profile Options, and select "Ignore MiBound." I just did it for you and it was super easy!

Ignore as in "Don't display this user's posts". I have had that on a few people and it works quite well to some extent. |
