If someone's a complete cunt in a movie/video game/book/comic/etc, they should be killed (depending on how its interpreted in the piece of media), regardless of gender.

shame on you david hewitt, shame on you! if we can't hurt women in real life, we should be able to hurt them in videogames what kind of feminazi bullshit is this seriously, next they'll take out all those horrible depictions of women and stop using rape as a gameplay device! god guys this is so awful [editline]22nd July 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=goon165;36857266] This is why people don't take video games seriously.[/QUOTE] no people don't take video games seriously because the most popular ones are male-empowerment fantasies where you either kill men or fuck women and partake in early-hominid level conversation. recoil from approaching mature subject matter which world do you live in!??
Soon we'll only be allowed to kill white males in videogames, and no one will complain about racism or sexism because white males don't give fucks.
in order to please everyone all governments should ban video games with white male protagonists and replace them with women you see, because then feminists will be happy. who gives a shit about freedom of expression in a goddamn virtual world nobody takes seriously? yeah fuck that shit
This alienates men and I shall not be oppressed by the woman. DOWN WITH SEXISM

[QUOTE=thisispain;36889914]not killing women = feminism good one kentz i can see you really understand this ideology[/QUOTE] well its good you understand arguing then because thats not what i said there is a difference between killing women in video games and reality what or who is being killed in whatever way in a video game doesnt matter
[QUOTE=Kentz;36890664]well its good you understand arguing then because thats not what i said there is a difference between killing women in video games and reality what or who is being killed in whatever way in a video game doesnt matter[/QUOTE] okay but what the fuck does that have to do with anything except knee-jerk idiocy about feminism? the dude in the fucking article says: "we've started thinking harder about how we use violence as a mechanic in the game", and you start going on about feminists???? no-one fucking cares kentz, it's not relevant to this OP and i highly doubt you could even name one contemporary influential feminist so drop the bullshit.
perhaps it hasnt anything to do with feminism, youre right what i dont understand is why they decided to draw the line where he hits women? like previously stated in this thread, who cares what is being killed in a violent murder simulator?
[QUOTE=Kentz;36890884] what i dont understand is why they decided to draw the line where he hits women?[/QUOTE] maybe you'd understand if you read the interview: [quote]IGN: Do you have an internal line of what kind of violence you won’t show in the game? Is there a line that you wouldn’t cross with Kratos? David Hewitt: We do. In fact the team has a set of rules that define those sorts of things very clearly. Where it shows itself is how the combat designers and animators have designed Kratos’ moves. He’s always leaning forward, he’s always moving forward. He’s seeking revenge and he’s after his ultimate objective and he will tear through enemies -- rip them in half -- as quickly as he can. But there’s not a lot of flourishes, there’s not any kind of enjoying the moment. There’s nothing about this that he’s enjoying. There are some things we’ve pulled back from. I think where this has been an issue is with violence against women -- the team’s pulled back from some of that and assessed that a little more carefully. There are certain things that carry has a different kind of resonance that we don’t want to get into. This isn’t about statement-making in that regard. It’s about fleshing out this character[/quote] fun fact that's the only time women was mentioned and shacknews turned it into a sensationalist headline in order to attract people who couldn't tell feminism from mormonism for site views. so what can we gather in terms of information from that paragraph? [b]nothing[/b] facepunch users, take it from a feminist himself, [b]stop getting your panties in a twist[/b]
the least i can do is admit me being stupid sorry for being stupid abandoning thread
Where are you guys getting the sexism vibe from? It wasn't implied or mentioned in the article that feminists played a role in this decision.
