Do you have sources that show how many people are on the sex offender list for trivial offenses? Or are you just repeating some contrarian milquetoast pablum?

Here's the thing you're missing: we all identify with characters not because they're exactly like us, but because we enjoy the stories they're involved in. How many people are truly like Odysseus or Han Solo or whomever? It doesn't matter; we still fall in love with their stories and their...

Maybe people...uh...shouldn't grab other people in the butt? Like, is that a controversial opinion?

Here's the thing though: child rapists are not a political group nor are they an ethnic group. Being Jewish or a communist is not at all the same thing as being a child rapist. If you actually looked up the point you were making, you'd realize that I don't hate child rapists. I just...

You do realize that the quote you're incorrectly referencing (the Jews weren't the first ones they came after) is about the Holocaust, right? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_they_came%E2%80%A6 Murderers and child rapists aren't at all the same. Child rape is not a crime of passion...

Those are excellent articles that really help explain why intent does not matter one bit when it comes to speech (and how people judge the speaker and their speech). I am a game developer. I don't care how you truly feel inside about gay people or women or how talented you are in programming...

Murderers rarely go back into the general population like sex offenders do. We already cut them off from society. And it's really, really insulting to compare the Holocaust to making sure sex offenders don't rape children. This isn't the slippery slope some of you are trying to make it out...

Actually, if it was truly market forces then you would see far more diversity since there are billions of people who aren't straight white men. There's an ungodly amount of money to be made by expanding the market. And sorry, but things can still be misogynistic (or racist or homophobic) even...

It's really, really important to remember that many sex offenders actually raped or molested little children and that those offenses are nothing like smoking a cigarette. What is wrong with all of you?

Hey, it's really cool that you're a really sheltered racist and sexist who people made fun of, but for a lot of people out there in the world, verbal slurs are just the beginning and often follow with physical harassment and abuse. So no, you don't get to decide how other people feel...

Surely you can't be so ignorant to actually believe that using slurs doesn't harm people or doesn't make them feel comfortable or welcome. You ought to grow up and realize that you don't get to decide that. This site might be really revealing to you: http://yoisthisracist.com/

http://wastedonsteam.com/usd/id/lacanian I love having a full time job :) ...Although that means I don't have much time to actually play the games I can buy :(

Not only is it an insult, it's a degrading slur for women.

Those will catch up eventually (you can already see it in those who play games). At that point, I hope all those entitled brats will have the mental fortitude to deal with the entire world moving on and leaving them behind. In any case, it's in the best interest of both developers and...

Those straight white males will need to deal with their overwhelming sense of bratty entitlement sooner or later because whether they like it or not, demographic trends are pointing to them becoming a smaller and smaller part of the general population every year. I'm sure they conveniently...
