There are probably a million things I've written off too easily. I try my best to judge without prejudice. I don't think it's possible.

I don't care. It's not like I have to pay attention to someone on the internet.

And I quote, "Since we put down dogs that are rabid, we should also put down humans that are proven insane." I honestly don't know if he just made such a case for the sake of arguing, or if he truly believes this. Either way, the opinion itself frustrates me to no end.

As I said, it's because it's easy for us to agree on how we feel towards a violent situation, whereas the same cannot be said for a sexual one. Sexuality is very personal - and therefore very private. Culture's impact on how we feel towards violence is very great; but it lacks that same...

Violence is accepted in media and society in general as opposed to sex and nudity because violence is not controversial. The spectrum of possible reactions that an audience can have to violence is much smaller than the spectrum of reactions that an audience can have to sex and nudity...

If it was publicly acceptable to use racial slurs directed at my race, I'd kinda feel hated and left out too. I'm going to be honest though, I think it has a lot more to do with who is saying it than what is being said. If my friends used insults specifically targeting me in anyway, I'd know...

There is no unacceptable level of female attractiveness in video games. If you think such levels exist; you're wrong.

What the hell is wrong with you people? Save the stranger.

Yes, you definitely are preaching to the 'converted'. Every argument you rebutted is completely indefensible. If you've seen people make those kind of arguments, no amount of righteous indignation on anyone's part is going to change their minds. I suppose that would make you depressed...

The way women are depicted in video games is a non-issue. One of my favorite video games as a kid was Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. My parents would have never bought me such a game, so I always went to my cousin's house to play it on his PlayStation 2. It was honestly some of the most fun...

1 - Intent matters. What you are dictates what you do, they are not independent of each other. An action is defined by the intent of the author, not the perception of an observer to that action. Yet you continue to label sexual objectification as automatically discriminatory. 2 - I didn't say...

That is exactly what you are saying. The developers know that their intent means nothing about their product? That's ridiculous. No it doesn't come with a sticker, but one shouldn't assume that it's an attempt to portray actual women. This is a fantasy universe in a fantasy setting - it...

No, I do not. Sexual objectification of a fictional character is not in of itself misogynistic. The hatred, dislike, or mistrust of women can be manifested in sexual objectification, but it does not have to be. There is no underlying message is God of War's sex scenes. They're kinda silly...

Actually, market forces has little to do with companies attempting to get as much money as possible in respect to what I'm trying to describe. Market Forces dictate that a product reflects its consumer base. If video games are made and purchased by a certain group, I would expect that product...
