The rifle, something something phallic symbol, engendered power to the women allowing her to subvert gender roles and take power over the patriarchy, something something.
It is always stereotypically the rifle that the women would go for right?
Or.
The woman taking the rifle implies that she is to weak and or unskilled to get into or operate well in the shorter range required by the handgun, so she takes the handgun to upset stereotypes blah blah blah.
The real answer is the man has sex with the woman at gunpoint, because women are sex objects am i rite?
Or alternatively, "SOMEONE will at least theoretically take fault with any decision you make, so just try to be fair and write good characters."

It's art and entertainment, so people vote with their wallets.
If people want them to make games with non-banal stories, they need to demand games with non-banal stories and to stop buying games with banal stories.
I don't know why there's a responsibility to be an ethical consumer, but no responsibility to be an ethical producer.
Good luck here MrMr. Last time I tried to argue that companies have an obligation to more then just their shareholders and the law I got dogpiled.
It certainly can't be controversial in the single-ownership case: if I own a game studio, then I can do whatever I want with it.
I see it as a defect of corporate governance that public companies, by contrast, are compelled to maximize shareholder profit. Although I also understand that provision to be one of the few things keeping management in check (not that it succeeds, but you know).

So, this is bullshit. This website here... blocked at work as "news/media", but I can get to cnn.com.
I can't get to The Onion, but I can get to Foxnews...
This shit is wrong.
Basically some dude gambled away 127 million dollars over a year in Vegas casinos. He's bringing suit because allegedly he was comped alcohol and pain killers to lube his judgment.

If it's true, then he may have a case. I mean, if the casino is like, here have this free alcohol and sit down at this table. Just give me your card and we'll give you some chips. Yeah, it'll be alright.
Gambling is an addiction, and some people can develop problems. On the other hand, fucker should've saved himself the time and hassle and given me the money.
ignore this post if you don't want to see me bitch about stupid shit
Y'know, I don't want to be all "hargle bargle vegetarian", but I find it amusing that this was said in the games and feminism thread in relation to the video game industry, and no one gave it shit, yet when I propose people do the same thing for eating meat I get countless rebuttals:
Because America has a massive hard on for free market capitalism and as such all responsibility lies with the consumer rather than the producer, the producers are only there to serve the needs of the consumer as dictated by their spending habits, people are still buying games with banal stories therefore they are happy with banal stories and there's no financial incentive for the producer to change.
Basically companies have no morals or conscience and seen no need to change their behaviour unless it profits them or they are forced by eternal pressures.
To the bolded specifically- If the responsibility in the market of video gaming lies with the consumer in the American Market, does not also the responsibility in the market of meat consumption lie with the consumer?

Did psycojester specifically give you shit about it?
Because there's far too much 'people around here say X' used in debates here.
All the people who aren't feminists have made me hate feminism. That's kinda unfair.
of you.
Seriously Abdhy, you have been on a roll for saying some really patently stupid shit (even compared to your normal stuff) that borders on trolling dude. Take a breather and don't just knee-jerk an incentive statement just to rile people up. This is coming from someone who said, a long time ago

I don't have any problem with feminism, but I still get a "ugh, fuck, feminism" emotional reaction to the topic. This isn't feminism's fault, it's the fault of "feminists". Which is unfair.

Or it's your own fault.
That topic just made me vaguely irritated with ELM for asking leading questions.

Its got fuck-all to do with feminism. And you people are all failing to tickle my funnybone just now.

I answered with "Dear Mr. Nakata" but now I'm doubting if that was right.
you people?
what do you mean by 'you people'?
I can't get there either. its blocked as 'streaming media'
I've seen some sites blocked for being 'tasteless'
'cism.
Yeah, apparently bash.org is tasteless.
Chihiro is mostly used by females. You'd know this if you watched Spirited Away.
eeck.
she wants to publish one of my photos, I should probably not try to piss her off.
Should have answered with "Dear Nakata-san"
tell that to the feminists I've talked to
People who say they are something sometimes aren't that something really.
Edit: And also people who say they are something non-stupid are sometimes actually really stupid about some things.
hehe, her English was pretty bad anyway, so she might not even have noticed.
Should have just gone for Dear <full name>.
If it has nothing to do with feminism why is it 'everything you hate about feminism'? Does not compute.

Academics, am I right (this is about as broad as you're being here)?

Fair enough
As easy to get rid of as it was to obtain, but still annoying.
Cool!
