No, actually I did not. Google time.

BTW you will Notice that has an AU tag to it AU means Australia Hehehehe we are the ones More tolerant Move over to Australia Go to Oxford St in Sydney. That is where all the gay guys hang out.

also LangurMonkey adzeth is NOT MALE! Adzeth is a Female just letting you know!

You might also want to have a look at Persona 4. It's originally a PS2 game, and since a few months a remake for PS Vita is out. It's not really clear if the character is gay or not, but his sexual identity is one of the game's subtopics. Read or [url=http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/mattbodega/blog/kanji-tatsumi-a-look-at-sexuality-and-gender-in-pe/34201/]this - careful, though, the second link contains spoilers! Just read the introductory paragraphs.

If you're also interested in transgender: The Guilty Gear series, which has an appearence here on GOG, has a character named Bridget who looks and behaves like a female but is actually male. I don't know about his sexual orientation, though, and since it's a fighting game the character profile probably doesn't matter anyway.

That's NOT transgender that is just Cross Dressing.

Oh, and here I thought cross dressing was when you accidently spill Ranch dressing into the Bleu Cheese dressing...

No that's just a Mess, Would taste Revolting too.

Hey, sorry if my post made you angry. That wasn't my intention, I thought I would just set out my views on that particular video. I have a real problem with logical fallacies and poor reasoning and I guess that came out a little too harshly in my response. That said, please don't feel obliged to respond to my posts, if you'd rather play games, more power to you!

Responding as briefly as I can to your response:

I guess what I was trying to say here was its a false dichotomy, the author of that video has a different interpretation but that interpretation doesn't conflict at all with the damsel in distress trope, its just an additional feature of the story. I think false dichotomies are the most common logical fallacies used by people in arguments generally - it annoys me. I thought the thing about male property was in Anita's second video so maybe that wasn't what the author was responding to, but that said, the damsels can be both property and something else.

I'm not really sure I understand the point here. What you have said is the whole point of the trope, the female relies on someone else (not usually an army, usually a single person). Zelda's back story may be that she is wise, etc, but that isn't demonstrated in the game at all (or maybe I have just totally misunderstood your point).

I think that is misunderstanding of what a trope is, I don't think anyone is suggesting there aren't some games which don't have the trope, but that doesn't alter the fact that there are a huge number of games that do have the trope. I personally don't understand the whole "balanced argument" complaint. If someone is putting forward evidence to support their opinion, it doesn't make sense to me that they would put forward evidence (at the same time) that doesn't, it doesn't happen in advocacy, it doesn't happen in philosophical arguments, Descartes didn't put forward a series of logics which would have disproved his argument "I think therefore I am". I'll look into the Starfox Adventures stuff though..

I really disagree with everything this woman has to say about video games. But the thing that really pissed me off in this current video is how she used ICO as this "LOOK MISOGYNY!" grrr and then related that to wife beating......

Of course this is all coming from a person who believes segregation is good....

ICO will always have a special place in my heart, so props their. But where does she state segregation is good?

here you go

it is towards the end of the video

That is disturbing.

No kidding...

I'm undecided about segregated train cars, so I'm wondering what you guys think should be done about all the groping she mentions?

Any form of segregation is a negative to me whether it be gays, blacks, whites, Asian's it's too slippery of a slope to go down once you start segregating in one form a politician will come along and push it a little further.

If there are people on the train that are groping women then they can employ conductors to monitor these trains thus getting more people jobs, also a bonus to this would be that the conductors can also verify that everyone has paid for there passes rather then sporadically doing these sweeps.

Following this line of thought cameras are most likely watching these train cars and recording these offenses if the women in question just report that this is happening the police can look at the surveillance footage and either ticket the guy or give him a warning. Might I also add groping is NOT limited to men vs women, women can do it to! the only difference is if a woman does it the man, he doesn't bother reporting it, this can get a little grey when you talk about an older woman groping a younger man leading into pedophilia at which point it becomes a illegal and disgusting offense.
