Whoa there Shelby, if you are going to go all out on this at least get you terminology right. The "slap on the booty" is not physical or sexually violence, at most that would be sexual harrasment.

Feminist = someone who believes in the equal treatment of women in society but doesn't actually lable themselves as a feminist (i.e. most reasonable people, be they men or women).

Shelby Knox = person who hides behind feminism in an attempt to spread her own brand of ignorance.

Lol what do they hope to accomplish? The people who signed this petition probably don't even game so their opinion doesn't even matter. And so what if Walmart continues to sell it? What are they threatening Walmart with? No longer shopping at Walmart? As if. Besides even if all those people did, I'm sure losing 5700 isn't so big considering Walmart has 8500 stores in 15 different countries that's less than half a person per store! lol! (thank you google for the stats ;) )

because there arent worse things to actually get on walmarts case about then them selling a waht is expected to be popular game to make profit.

Besides, who's REALLY going ot stop shopping at walmart because of this? And what can you really do to walmart that they wont just pay off and say go away.

Anyway, my order for it is in at Gamestop, so I say with the utmost respect that you may bite me Ms. Knox.

I am of the firm opinion that people who want to have something banned simply because they don't like it need to have some sense beaten into them with a very large stick.

Did...Did you just write a whole thought backwards?

EDIT: Okay, apparently you're doing that today. I don't suppose you'd be able to round them all up into one spot afterwards?

1. Love the comic, I've never understood why mass murder can be justified in a game but silly tongue-in-cheek games like DNF will always be set upon.

2. You have put a lot of effort into today's posts. I've made a point to read all of the ones I come across.

3. Next time, try inverting the images too, to mess with people more.

[HEADING=3]OT:[/HEADING] Well, I don't see this achieving much (except a loss for WalMart) and to be honest, do you think this will stop anyone buying the game? As we all know, controversy breeds sales.

Yeah is that same walmart thats fighting off a class action sex discrimination law suit? I wonder if they might not want have any more bad PR from feminists at the moment , seeing that losing will cost them 10s of millions, I think they might have a different perspective than you.

Walmart witness: Walmart has long and distinguished record of positive attitudes to women:

Class Action Lawyer: So why do you sell a game that in which you have to slap women to keep the quiet?

Walmart witness: Is only game and its just a joke and hey there only few feminists that shop here anyway.

Jury: GG walmart got pawnd in the face

Though I personally find the mechanic of "slapping women in the bum for re-assurance" a bit crude and tasteless, trying to get a game banned because it has some hint of very mild sexual harassment towards VIRTUAL characters is a wee bit silly, I mean, we have games that basically allow you to simulate warfare scenarios where genocide is committed.

I'm against ANY form of censorship, even if I personally disagree with the opinions/fantasies/simulations/lessons/creative products of others.

Beautifully put, and utterly accurate.

Shelby Knox: The Capture the Babe mode of the Duke Nukem game... will be played primarily by young people
Do people just go blind whenever this game is mentioned, and thus become unable to see the M rating? Or are people just idiots?

The worst part is that the reasonable people in the former category won't be able to get away with criticising the ignorant people in the latter, because then everyone will label them as a sexist. If you argue in defence of DNF, you're a sexist, and ignorant people will igore your opinion and get to promote their own views; if you don't, ignorant views are promoted anyway. There's no way to win.

I'm considering just buying this game on principle to piss off the moral guardians.

How cute.

Perhaps at some point, there can be an extra multiplayer mode added in which two teams must fight towards the middle of the map, capture Shelby Knox, and plant her in the enemy base. She'll flood their comm systems with her rhetoric, and as such, a team can only survive for one minute if she's in their base.

It could be called "***** Quest."
