Humanity Has Declined (Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita?) - Post Apocalyptic anime, where mankind is going out - not with a bang, OR a whimper - but with a lethargic sigh... while oddball little fairies are running around. It is strange, cute, dark, surreal, pastel colored and really, REALLY...

I would have no intention of really adapting, though I guess I would have to fake it. My intention (and only reason for NOT bumrushing a moving freight-train head on) would be to END the world of the 1950's sooner. Speed up the women's lib and civil rights movements - and make life as much...

Possibly. But my answer was related to why we don't see this in FICTION. It IS true that such a misogynistic future holds no interest for me, to the point where I consider oblivion for our specie to preferable - regardless of whatever technical advancements are also made. However, this ALSO...

I think this is avoided because it would diminish interest in the story. Honestly, if in the future women are back to being breeding-betties while the menfolk run things - then I simply would have no interest and no stakes in whatever story is being told. Because then I would simply NOT CARE...

Well, obviously those two are not to scale. I suppose maybe the Indian/Chinese "gendercide" of girl babies might be closer to the Holocaust. Displaying women in unrealistic revealing clothing is closer to "casual racism" in severity - as I see it.

Return it. Like others here, I would not want to mess with the kind of person most likely to walk around with 40K in cash. For one thing; the resulting hospital bills might easily be higher than 40 000.

Well. There seems to be the assumption that the person is a white male... so: "Hey, mister, guess what - women and blacks have the same rights as you now. 40% of households (and growing) have the woman as a primary breadwinner, and women are doing better than men at school. You types are...

Actually, both sides seem to want to "legislate their moral outlook into law". The person I'm arguing with wants legal protection of the "right" to portray women as second-class humans. I want legal protection for women to not be portrayed this way. To make dehumanization of women illegal...

Actually, no - you don't. And no matter how many times you claim so, it still won't be true. If you had made a game that portrayed the Nazis as being right, or a game that claimed that slavery was a good thing, or that portrayed people of any ethnic group as completely sub-human - you would...

And if a game contained, say, blatant racism (not as part of story, as in; Bioshock Infinite, but REAL racism) - would you just exclaim that developers can make whatever game they want and that the "anti-racist fascists" (or whatever) can go make their own games? I certainly hope not. To...

Sooo.... Men should get equal treatment in the areas you personally feel they are discriminated... but women should still be kept out of the military while the menfolk do the "real" work. Truly, you are an egalitarean.... (Also, what "basic human rights and priveleges" do women have that...

Doubt it. Male protagonists are designed so that men will want to be them, NOT so women will want them. If they were designed for the "female gaze" - they would look like the man-candy from FREE (the anime).

Sexualization can be sexist. Common story tropes can also be sexist, that they are "common" do not excuse them. "Damsel in distress" IS a sexist trope. Not catering to females can also be sexist, as it IS discrimination to only "cater" to men. Offending females is sexist if you offend...

I'm with you. Certain parts of society is still stuck in the 50's - but at least they act as a good reminder of why women fought themselves free of such things. And in the end - with time - these chauvinist bastions will fall as well - it just sucks like **** for women in the meantime...

Contrary to what you seem to believe, being a woman is not a disability - and should not be treated as such. A woman should have the same right as any man to fight for her country. If the military infrastructure needs to change, so be it. If you need to put a lot of "soldiers" who are beasts in...
