I apologize, and will rephrase. When ZenFoldor says "Let me guess, you're a woman?" it means that he's assuming that someone who has that opinion is a woman. That's reflexive, right? But that's wrong. Men have that opinion too. KylieDog is proof of that, because he's a man, and he is the one who said Bayonetta's use of sexuality was in poor taste. My position is that it is tasteless to assume one's gender based on their opinions. |
Ah, I get that much.
However, isn't it possible that the majority of people sharing KylieDog's opinion are female? Assume it were the case, for the sake of the argument. Say, 90% of the people with such an opinion were female.
Would it still be tasteless? (Not quite sure what that means, anyway). Perhaps Zen was just playing the chances, and got unlucky in this particular case.
Take another example - if KylieDog said he loved Gears of War. I'd say it's a pretty safe bet he were a guy, between his appearance on these internet forums and the fact he's into a videogame mainly played by males. Is that different?
That's the reason he brought up the question to you: if you believe women tend to dislike exploitation to a greater extent than men. It seems to have relevance, though you dismissed it (not quite sure how).
Erm, yeah. I normally avoid this kind of discussion. My thought process often conflicts with what society finds acceptable, so...
