That's like saying Inglourious Basterds was popular because it had Jews, not because it was a good movie. I'm sorry, but I'm really not buying this logic. So male gamers should be mature enough to not care about male strippers, but female gamers have all the right in the world to complain...

Attractive, half-naked men are not the same as male strippers. You go to the beach to see one; you go to the male strip joint to shove Lincolns in the other's junk (I think that's how it works, not sure). I'm also willing to bet that some male strippers are UNattractive, half-naked men...

Objectification is the reduction of a person to an object. Let me emphasize the word that everybody seems to have forgotten: Objectification is the reduction of a PERSON to an object. PERSON. Kratos is not a person. He is lines of code. He is an object created for my entertainment...

There are several annoyingly predictable patterns/lines of thought that pop up every time this issue is discussed. Firstly, a lot of people like to jump from "objectification" straight to "sexualization." I think this is completely false. Hypothetically, if I hang out with a girl solely...

I eat my burgers in triangular thirds. Not because I cut them up that way, but because I can shove roughly a third of the average burger into my mouth with one bite. Anything that starts to fall out after my last bite gets shoved in alongside said bite. Sometimes if it is bigger I am forced to...

I'll run around being the biggest dick I can without actually killing anyone (unless they deserve it 8P). I therefore had tons of fun in Assassin's Creed 2: somehow, it was less satisfying to assassinate a guard than to knock a guy's waterbarrel out of his hands, then pick his and everyone...
