[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;41699311]I guess the problem is that games with good female protagonists tend to sell poorly even if they're well-received by critics.
Beyond Good and Evil, Mirror's Edge and No One Lives Forever are some examples.[/QUOTE]
That is very true, NOLF 1 and 2 are great games, and they got such good reviews yet almost nobody knows about them anymore.

He is obviously a psychotic murderer with a hatred towards women.
I wonder if there are any records of prostitutes disappearing in his area.
[QUOTE=RobbL;41699694]How?
It's lazy in that people think they can prove someone wrong just by saying it without any further explanation
And it's ignorant and pretentious in using it assumes that you believe no behavior correlating with sex/gender is innate/biological and that anyone who thinks otherwise is stupid and objectively wrong[/QUOTE]
Brain biology is not set in stone and can be affected by environment, and differences in biology therefore cannot reasonably be solely attributed to inherent differences between genders.
Besides, there are more differences within than between genders...
This guy looks like an evil douchebag Tim Curry

I just mean its dumb to unquestionably assume that all differences in gender are socially constructed and to look down on anyone who doesn't think the same

Watch this clip towards the end, if you think Vasquez is not a lesbian.[/QUOTE]
How the fuck does that scene probe that she's a lesbian? She's just a hardcore marine with that "OOOH YEAAAH" kind of mindset, just like all the others.

[QUOTE=Agoat;41699229]"If you want a game with a female protagonist... make one."
Guys a d-bag but that's not a bad idea. Anita Sarkeesian's princess game idea in her more recent video sounded badass. With the recent obsession with indie games, I'm surprised we don't see more leading by example.[/QUOTE]
More good female protagonists should be made, yeah, but the entire way he delivered that point was bullshit. He's basically saying that "feminazis" should stop complaining and should "HURR DURR DO IT YOURSELF." I mean, isn't that the industry's job? To make well-made characters and shit?
Why don't you make a video response to him or something of that sort?
[QUOTE=Cone;41701503]he looks more like someone that smart people punch in the face[/QUOTE]
Simmer down there bro, I get you don't like the guy. Doesn't mean he ain't totally well dressed. Punching someone in the face for opinions they hold is also pretty violent, if you do this you may just need help.
of course this is a lamar thread

I don't need a stupid youtube video with my dumb face saying shit to make my counter-arguments.
[editline]3rd August 2013[/editline]
Responding to that guy isn't even worth my time. Judging by how he dismissed pretty much every pro-feminism argument ever with the most retarded logic ever, chances are he'd do the same to my video.

I have no opinion on this because I only had to watch the OP video for about a second and a half before I realise that guy is a smug, condescending douchbag.

Lol what. You're using this as proof she's a lesbian? She's not.
[quote=Xenopedia]
Vasquez was very close to Drake, with whom she may or may not have had a physical relationship, and the two often trained together and encouraged each other in their disruptive behavior. Vasquez was devastated by Drake's death, to the point where she was apparently willing to give her own life in a suicidal and obviously futile attempt at saving him inside the Hive. Her grief over his death quickly developed into anger, which she largely directed at Gorman for his complete failure to command during the ambush.

For the record RobLL did not say that behaviour can be solely attributed to biology. But that it can have some influence and it would be foolish to say that it has no impact at all. It's the whole old nature versus nurture argument really just renamed.
It's kinda funny how the internet grabs old meanings, renames them and everyone forgets the old ones. Carpe Diem - YOLO, Biotruth - nature versus nurture

you're such a lesbian like WOW
What does this insult actually imply, lamar? Help me out.
[QUOTE=Generic Monk;41705601]he's not well dressed - he looks like a saturday morning cartoon villain[/QUOTE]
Cool opinion, I'm sure skeletor would be pretty jealous though, his robes were a bit on the tatty side.
Dr. X and Eggman would surely agree.
all I'm getting from this is that females can't be strong in video games
what about a recent game called Tomb Raider, orrrr The last of us, oorrrr The Witcher 2? Pretty sure surviving being impaled, thrown around, ejected from things, and faceplants, as well as being struck by multiple bad guys in Tomb Raider is pretty strong
As for TLOU, well, it's a young girl in a post-apoc world, what the hell else do you want to make a strong impact?
Witcher 2, Triss and a bunch of other females? Casting fireballs, making others weep in their pants and afraid to go near them? Come on.
There are females done right in some games where it makes the scene or it's just out of the blue, and sometimes there to be a mockery, but then there are those like above, where they actually matter to the main storyline.
Since when did Kane care about tropes?
[QUOTE=Lamar;41699145]It wasn't even that subtle, that male marine towards the end remarks "It it is too bad" referencing that its a shame that he'll never be able to have sex with Vasquez because she is a lesbian. Have you been so feminized that you couldn't even pick this up?[/QUOTE]
what the fuck is 'feminized' supposed to mean in this context
is it like 'radicalized'? are there like top secret training camps in afghanistan where you get 'feminized' and end up wanting to destroy men rather than judeo-christian society?
[editline]4th August 2013[/editline]
tbh lamar since you presented this video like it was a legitimate argument I think you're just deluded and need help
lmao this dude's like a gay lex luther
also who gives a shit
All he's missing is a Fedora.
He basically looks and sounds like the embodiement of what all smug, fedora-wearing pseudointellectual MRA people aspire to be.
