That was a good article and I agree with it, but the anger could've definitely been toned down a bit. Thematically speaking, the game definitely could've benefited from having a different IP, but that's not that big of a mistake in my opinion. A little revenge fantasy simply isn't worth the...

I personally believe that over-emphasizing a character's particular trait is counter intuitive to the goals of diversity. For example, if the only notable characteristic of a trans character is that they're trans, they're no longer an interesting character, they're a token. It's about more...

I'm beginning to think that Bob doesn't view movies as art as much as he views them as ammunition in some sort of perceived culture war. A very problematic view of art, to say the least.

I am now one hundred percent convinced that there is no greater threat to our society and culture than teabagging in first person shooter games. Will someone please think of the children?

I don't think anyone's going to magically turn racist from watching some old cartoons. Seems a bit silly to me.

Tales' of Games is the best indie developer as far as I'm concerned. They made Tales' of Games Studios presents Chef Boyardee's Barkley, Shut up and Jam: Gaiden, Chapter 1 of the Hoopz Barkley SaGa, possibly the greatest game ever made.

You guys do realize that the whole "war on gamurzz" thing is a smokescreen, right?

Garrosh Hellscream from WoW. I get the impression that Blizzard wanted to develop his character in Cataclysm to make him more interesting and complex. WoW fans, being WoW fans, threw a shit fit, and thus his character was derailed from an impulsive brute with a code of honor to a completely...

What's with the 403 message? Does Bob know something sinister about BvS that the Escapist doesn't want us to know?

I went on the internet today and saw things I disagree with. Now I feel oppressed. I'm angry about how nobody cares about this very important issue, but if you do care then you're even worse because you can never understand my pain. Everyone is awful but me. Me.

Sony's actually going to make a female-fronted super hero movie? Your move, Marvel.

As someone who thinks that the recent Thor changes are pretty stupid, I'm 100 percent ok with this. At least he's a established character and not someone they pulled out of their ass solely for the sake of diversity.

I don't see the point in trying to "reclaim" (whatever that means) a title that already accurately applies to you. The term isn't broken, and I'm not sure exactly who you are trying to help by attempting to fix it.

Well, in America, Football is called Football and what everyone else calls Football is called soccer. Since saying "American football" can be a bit of a mouth full in some languages, we could always call it Freedomball.

This question seems like a false dilemma because it treats gamers and SJW's as two distinct groups. Gamers are a diverse group, and it's pretty clear that many SJW's are gamers themselves. SJW's can't even get along with themselves most of the time anyway.
