Games are games. Fantasy. Leave em be.
Birth of a Nation wasn't real either, but that was pretty damn racist. if people want games to be considered an art form complete with access to rights of expression, then it has to take the same criticisms as any other medium.

it's very convenient to cry for rights of expression when GTAIV is questioned but to then write it off as "just a game" when people criticize the social perspective presented within the game.

Does anyone here seriously find Cosmpolitan to have any redeaming factors? Seriously? I only know one person who reads that thing and his name is Steve... and he's a jackass.

wow lol this is a retarded thread,does anyone know the reason thy use extremely buff guys,Because they sell.I think i can speak for everyone that a game made entirely around a nerd of a fatty would never sell.I mean really,plus the game industry also uses quite skinny guys in some games just not fps's like gears because its unrealistic to use a skinny person.I mean for fuck sake your holding a gun with a chainsaw on the end chasing and shooting aliens.You cant have a tiny build and be 5 foot tall...you have to be built like some inhuman freak of nature to kill something equality as tall and freakish.
The reason they use extremely hot girls in fighting games and shit like that is to appeal to the nerd.The nerd is a very lonely creature at times when playing video games beyond a hobby...so he likes to see some unrealistically huge tits...who cares...trust me its not influencing people to get Brest augmentations because they saw it on soul caliber and most female gamers look like shit i mean i really hope something influences them to at least try to look better...
and to all you guy nerds out there...dont buy a next gen console buy a bench,weight set and a curl bar,treadmill ect. so you can work off that lifetime of living of cheattos and energy drinks and perhaps get fit in the proses...and if you still don't understand im gona break down your door,steal your favorite game,punch your grandma in the face and kick your dog on my way out.

Msch. there's one of your feminist nightmares loose in the area. Can you deal with her as it seems as if because I'm a man, I can't argue with her.

And seriously, "How to keep a guy totally turned on", totally fails at being an honest portrayal and totally doesn't work.

Sort of like the Spice Girls "EMPOWERING" women to wear boob-tubes instead of the "EVIL MEN" allowing them to wear boob-tubes.

They still look like whores..., sorry... Walking Hospitality + Oral Recreation Enthusiast Salespersons.

Yeah, because there's still loads of copies of Half-Life on the shelf.

And Mario.

Nah, he might be heartless, but he also can't write anything worthwhile. I'm not reading a post where the poster hasn't even bothered capitalizing the first letter of a sentence, let alone split a huge ass post into paragraphs for easier consumption.

racism and sexism is stupid if someone wants to dislike someone because or their race or sex then they should be able to express themselves freely through measures which up hold dignity and law.

e.g. if the guys at capcom want to shoot black people then they have considered to consequences of said actions and decided a rational alternative... simulations via games. these games will then appeal to other people who want to shoot black people, as well as people who like the res story.

Your name is even more cunning and humorous than your post, Heartless. I know you probably won't stick around to read this (ah hell, who am I kidding, your type is the kind to smell your own socks at the end of the day). I admit, I do enjoy the fact that you've taken the time out of your busy day of mowing lawns or bagging my groceries to point out to me that you are just damn better than me because you work out? Or don't eat Cheetos? Wait, what was your point again? Doesn't matter, if your ability to read is as malformed as your writing, then I shouldn't bother searching for a point. What makes you so sure you could do any of that stuff? If you'd learned anything from history (HA!), it would be that being big just makes it more humiliating when someone smaller than you kicks your ass.

You see, feminists reading this thread while shaking their heads in disapproval that we males sidestep all of the chauvinistic crap that goes on around us, men have to deal with bigoted shit too. It's just, you don't give a damn that men are expected to bulk up and earn more money and last longer in bed and have bigger dicks and after we've considered all of these things that make us "manlier", we're supposed to be fashion-savvy and gender-conscious, always know what a woman is thinking, always make everything suitable to our girlfriends, and NOT PLAY GAMES, NEVER PLAY GAMES UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE CALLED A DICKSWALLOWING FAGMATRON! and if you do play games for GOD'S SAKE DON'T TELL PEOPLE OR YOU'LL NEVER EVER GET LAID EVER. I could go on, but why? No matter how much I point out that, hey, people in the Armed Forces aren't better than people who aren't, society at large will pretty much always prioritize veterans over me.

I guess my real point is, Heartless is a good example of that discrimination against men by men (and women too, let's not lie to ourselves) that people tend to ignore.

Yeah, because Gordon Freeman isn't pretty damn skinny, is he? Mario, sure, he's pretty tubby, but don't call the One Free Man fat.

Can someone explain to me why I'm supposed to feel better being demeaned by a man than I am being demeaned by a woman? In modern entertainment, it is acceptable to portray men as bumbling, semi-educated screw-ups who can barely chew their food without help from women. It is not, on the other hand, acceptable to portray women in a similar fashion. Why exactly is this? I'm not going to answer these questions for you, I'd just like you to think about them for a second before any more ignorance is spewed at me.

Also, on a side note, I feel the need to point out the laughability of saying Cosmo empowers women with sex. Cosmopolitan Magazine is the initiate's guide to getting used. Anyone who's opened it knows that.

You specifically said "fatty". Gordon Freeman is not fat. That was my point.

Look VERY closely at what I said...And then find where I said that.
