    Game of Thrones Episode 9...

    We should probably stop. I know we're using spoilers and such, but some people just can't resist them. Good points though, Just saying there's a few more "shock" moments to come.

    Escape to the Movies: Star Trek: Into Darkness

    I don't get it, I haven't even seen the original series or Wrath of Khan, but I knew that character was Khan. I didn't even foresee it as a twist, I just assumed that we were supposed to know that, didn't even realise the character would have some other name. Who was going to be surprised be...

    Your favourite cartoon and why it's your favourite.

    Gotta go with Daria. I love that show, couldn't even explain why, I think its the constant stream of misanthropy.

    Free-to-Play Shooter Bogarts Map From Counter-Strike

    I'm certainly not at the competative level, but isn't office the way to go? Or is that kinda balanced toward Ts? It feels a little easier to be Ts but the score tends to be fairly even when I play it. Anyhow, Dust2 is probably the map that most people associate with CS, so either they feel...

    Free-to-Play Shooter Bogarts Map From Counter-Strike

    What exactly are they expecting to come of this? Its not like they picked something obscure. Hang on, whey the hell is a game callled ARCTIC COMBAT stealing Dust2, of all things? That isn't arctic at all.

    Poll: How Polarizing Was Other M?

    For me, the biggest issue was the disparity bewteen the new character direction Other M tried to take Samus and the new gameplay. I would have been ok with Samus having PTSD if she hadn't been more of a badass than ever, flipping around, doing mad ninja finishing moves and stuff, and then...

    Male victims of sexual violence in games, comics, movies, whatever.

    I feel like that's probably the reason, are publishers scared that people wont buy a game or read a comic if it might make them uncomfortable? Does it come down to the people that publish entertainment just not being willing to depict these things? Sounds likely, I guess.

    Male victims of sexual violence in games, comics, movies, whatever.

    It was more intended to be about the different way male sexual violence and exploitation is treated in entertainment media. Its not used as a "tragic backstory" or character building anything like that, in games its almost never referenced (except for the naked boxing match), although the...

    Male victims of sexual violence in games, comics, movies, whatever.

    Oh, and thanks for all the examples, people. There's a few more than I was expecting, but it still seems like no fiction writer uses "raped" or "prostitute" or "sexually vulnerable" as a starting point for writing a male character in the way that, say, Frank Miller is notorious for.
