He was just (accurately) predicting the responses to this article. Personally, I'm withholding judgment until I see the cast.

And...this is why I never got into comic books. Either change the status quo or don't, I can't stand all these reboots and everybody coming back from the dead and everything pretending to matter but it really doesn't.

What gets me even more is the selective skepticism. Anita Sarkeesian claims she contacted the police about the harassment: "Nuh uh, some guy on Twitter said he called some policeman in one particular department and the guy said he didn't know anything. What a lying *****!" Zoe Quinn's...

This does not make me feel optimistic about season 4.

Yeah, Nintendo's really been on point lately. I'll get myself a Wii U once all these games actually release.

I have to imagine that Nintendo has planned this game far in advance, and they wouldn't have time to add in a ton of female characters in response to the Ubisoft controversy. But it is a big middle finger to all the manchildren who think you can't have a good game with mostly female characters.

$65 for the starter set? I just remembered why they went out of business.

You're really splitting hairs here. These are the exact words of their statement: "We hope that all of our fans will see that Tomodachi Life was intended to be a whimsical and quirky game, and that we were absolutely not trying to provide social commentary.? What are we supposed to take...

Dude, my whole point is that Nintendo stirred up controversy because of their dipshit statement that gay marriage wasn't "fun" or "whimsical." The actual order of events doesn't matter.

I don't see how this contradicts anything I said. There was male-male marriage, then Nintendo got rid of it. I am aware it was a bug, but that doesn't make their first statement about gay marriage any better.

I think in these two cases, the companies' statements are what garnered the controversy. Tomodachi Life had relationships between two men but Nintendo patched them out because they weren't "whimsical" enough. And Ubisoft made that stupid statement about how animating female characters was too...

Are the executives getting their full salary? If so, I would go on strike.

Also Spiderman and Wolverine.

I'm really starting to think that superhero movies have gotten out of control. Are we going to have another origin story? Another Joker and Two-Face? Maybe a superhero that hasn't had seven movies in twenty years would be a nice change of pace.

I agree. The only thing worse than asshole MRAs are people who won't acknowledge that sometimes they make some good points.
