I was hoping that the last video was a one-off; that Sterling wasn't coming back.
The Escapist: do you really need to be giving this guy a voice here? He already has Destructoid, and it's not like he's contributing a whole heap to this site.
It's also worth remembering just how qualified Sterling to talk about sexism:

If you read deeper into ANY of those quotes on the blog, you can see they were mostly jokes (in poor taste, perhaps). If you read any deeper into the "Daphny 'controversy,'" you can argue that the woman he was bickering with was equally to blame, alluding to him only being able to get sex from hookers and having a small penis. In fact, the origin of the argument is unclear and I would hazard to guess that Jim was trolling her hard (his MO) and she was taking the bait. If you read Anna (I'm assuming she's the writer of gomakemeasandwich) other posts, she lambastes Reiq for being a sexist, without realizing that Reiq is a pornographic artist. One doesn't get far into the porn business drawing pictures of flat chested women.
Regardless of how crude you think Jim Sterling is, he's certainly more qualified to talk about sexism that the writer of the blog, who's quick to turn any slightest hint of perceived "sexism" into a shitstorm and throws around the word "sexist" like Fox News throws around the name "Hitler." She finds misogyny in everything. I've said it before and I'll say it again: If everything's misogynistic, nothing is misogynistic.
Also, I find it strange that objectification in women in video games is stirs passionate debate, but the objectification of men in video-games is a nonissue. Not every man is ripped like Chris Redfield or Kratos...
