My fetishes are embarrassingly normal, especially as they relate to real-life women. Also I second request for a lock. As to why, mods, This Troper is why. Please don't let the escapist become the tvtropes fetish discussion.

Like, an hour ago. Damn, life is good.

What a joke topic. Creativity means seeing things you don't like, and art means people expressing themselves in ways you don't approve of. It isn't hurting gaming as an art form, it's not doing anything whatsoever to Shadow of the Colossus, Braid or Super Meat Boy. All that crap is still there...

I dunno, I'm going to go into this one very cautiously. Two of my favorite films ever are Rollerball and Battle Royale, and every indication I've seen is that the artistic design and camera direction for the Hunger Games is very bland and dull. I don't need Bob to notice that washed-out...

I think Bob is overthinking his high school days. ba-dum tish Seriously, what possible reaction did he think he was going to get? Bob, I'm pretty sure you know just as well as we do how this whining about perceived "jocks" everywhere (like a conspiracy theorist in a tin-foil hat) is...

Yep. I also used to see things from this self-centered perspective of my own motivations, but every interaction has 2 or more perspectives. If I'm not willing to understand hers, I have no reason to expect her to get where I'm coming from. And there are things I can do (be honest and upfront...

If you want me to change my life because it doesn't conform to your standards of how I should act, then you have to present more compelling reasons than that. Is smiling at everyone I meet hard to do (in the fear they'll think I'm rude or some crap)? Maybe, maybe not. Should I have to? No...

Agreed 100%. I try not to be a jealous tool, but when I hear stories about random complete strangers whistling, honking their car horns or pulling up and chatting with my girlfriend on the street, it pisses me off a little. Women should have a right to walk around town without being harassed...

Oh come on. If somebody has a reason to talk to you, then YES, it would be rude to ignore them. Otherwise, nobody owes anybody anything. If I'm not happy, why would I smile? Why would you expect me to? I think we have different definitions of "nice," because mine includes frank honesty, no...

Does anyone really notice or care when a random stranger smiles at you? They probably don't know how to react to that. Often people give off creepy/desperate/lecher signals without meaning to, especially if they actually are creepy, desperate or trying that old "friend->girlfriend" trick that...

Here's how to work around the "subjective morality" when it comes to stuff like murder. "My morality teaches me that murder is okay, because morality is subjective." "Well, MY morality is every bit as valid as yours (because subjective=subjective) and it says that murder is not okay. Since...

I loved Arcana Heart, and felt it transcended its "moe perv fighting game" appearance. It also wasn't nearly as slutty as this game is, though (in terms of character costuming and even proportions). I look forward to seeing if the game is good, but I have to admit the sexual fetishism in...

No. Seduction between adults implies consent on both sides. If someone is "seduced" using coercion, peer pressure or anything else, it ceases to BE seduction. Failed seduction attempts might lead to rape, but that's different.

This place is the same as the other forums I've been to. Worse in many ways, especially selective policy enforcement, allowing some hate speech to go unmoderated (old people, fat people, unattractive people, christians/religious people, sometimes even women) but not allowing other types of...

Ugh, I think it's really disgusting. Once you turn corporations and advertisers onto the idea of games as not just propaganda, but a part of their product, marketing can get even more invasive, subtle and manipulative. If anyone on these forums has EVER thought the subtext to a Call of Duty...
