I don't think you're mistaken in your assessment that PC is on the rise. With the prominence of digital distribution, massive multiplayer, and free to play games the sheer amount of ways to access good game experiences at low cost is something you can't get with consoles. Combine that with the...

That isn't really an unpopular opinion, in fact its held by the majority at large in regard to movies. Why would anyone's negative opinion "upset" you? Perhaps your overwhelmingly positive feelings towards the movie isn't as positive as you think? Don't get so emotionally involved in things...

Here goes my theory: Traditionally gender roles in general terms are perceived as thus- Females have passive value. Society values women based on innate factors to their existence such as their beauty(curves, and elegance), reproductive function(motherhood), and submissiveness. Women are...

I agree OP. Here are some of the things that bothered me about the movie: Long overview of my feelings: Positives of the movie: -Catwoman: I was VERY skeptical of Anne Hathaway's casting as catwoman, and I was pleasantly surprised how well she did in the role. Most of the scenes she was...

You're letting yourself get way too emotionally involved into opinions and thought-spaces across the internet. You should be trusting yourself, and your judgement, while still being able to listen others. I constantly frequent sites like the RPGcodex, which makes heated discussions on boards...

You're arguing from a very superficial perspective. Of course rape is something that a young woman might have to deal with in such a situation, but that doesn't justify its existence within a narrative unless its handled correctly. What we're talking about goes down the building blocks and...

This is deflection at its finest. One could argue the merits of material within a videogame as it relates to the integrity of this medium, and still have feelings on sex trafficking. By this logic, video game discussion boards are reprehensible because they take away from discussion of more...

I think there was more a implication of rape, rather than consensual sex. Clearly two very different things unless you've got a very warped view of sexual activity. I think more people are freaking out about Rosenberg's comments, which in turn put everything else in the trailer into...

So you don't think the utilization of subject such as RAPE as a means to pander to male audience("white knights") isn't somehow morally dubious? I don't see how being blind to a subject matter's societal implications is desirable, as you could easily destroy the integrity of your story by...

This is a perfect example of the free floating nature of public conscientiousness, where a succession of incidents causes of a perfect storm of a topic repeatably being brought up due to people seeking inquiry into what the fuss is about and the widespread nature of this controversy. There in...

Its not necessarily that these games are getting worse, its just 'traditional' jrpg format is having a difficult time existing in the current videogame market. This phenomenon is not specific to jrpgs, as the supposed thriving wrpg genre is actually moving farther away from its original roots...

So, you're protesting against the generalized view of videogames as ultra violence simulators by generalizing the tendencies towards violence in both media and human culture in its entirety? Cute. While its true our media is often an expression of inner selves as a culture, I think its all...

Unless it has astounding gameplay I don't think I'll bother with a sequel. The dragon age universe is so banal in its execution and presentation, I can't be bothered to consider it story-wise.

According to your previously stated logic, we are all driven by our need for happiness. Since happiness is a subjective term, as you stated, we ourselves as men are not qualified to determine the path to happiness for women, as they can determine themselves. Just as a farmer seeks additional...

Even going by your barebones logic, women will simply return to their original state as housewives, which is another state of unhappiness as well(as the feminist movement informs this is ALSO an unhappy state). If anything unhappiness for women extends from the outdated stereotypes associated...
