TRIGGER WARNING: Following post contains extreme misogyny, sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, fat-shaming, slut-shaming and assorted LGBTWTFBBQ bigotry.

Hello.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-03-21-misogyny-racism-and-homophobia-where-do-video-games-stand

I hope you guys realize that you're entire hobby is now misogyny, every time you play a game where a female is displayed sexually is the literal rape of thousands of innocent pixels. Every second of every minute of every day of your lives that you continue to play video games is now a terrible act of misogyny.

Have a nice day.

Cool. I'm loving it :)
Would you rather play video games full of ugly women?

That's pretty rich coming from bioware, they haven't written a single good and cohesive alternative character yet.

As opposed to Obsidian.

Crosmando: Have a nice day.
Could you at least have the decency to post trigger warnings before you type down these greetings, this is extremely offensive to us who never have a nice day (dayism is rampant but largely ignored by most people, which is an incredible oversight by the human race, as there are many like me who share this problem).

While we are at this topic (again): What the hell happened to Anita Sarkeesian's "Tropes vs Women in Video Games"? Her last upload was 4 months ago :(

Thank you my non-gender specific friend, trigger warning added.

THIS is the thread that has been generated by GDC this year? Really?
This same old tired thread that's been debated to death already, full of butt hurt and you semi-aspie bastard being scared shitless of the ladies?

Did no-one notice what Jim Sterling was saying about GDC conferences talking about 'monetizing whales' and minimising backlash
That's some dark, dark, cancerous, big-business BS WORTH talking about:

Clearly she is far too busy cataloguing the immense quantitties of oppression set upon underpriviliged (all, really) females. I'm sure she will deliver an intense half hour video sometime this year covering the first month of 2013.

What really offends me about your post is your grammar...

Oh man that video is great, I love righteous indignation for a good cause.

Oh boy, THIS topic again. Great, can we at least avoid flame wars so I don't have to shut this one down as well? Like I've had to do with just about every other thread that talked about this? Thanks.

I'll come back tomorrow to see how many pages it is.

For the record though, Mr Bioware said:
"more exclusive women protagonists in games that aren't glorified sex objects and actually have personalities beyond supporting the men in the game"
No where in there does it say anything about female characters suddenly being made to not be attractive, or even not dress provocatively, having and displaying your sexuality and being a sexual object are NOT the same thing!
