Never! j/k After reading it, I stand by what I wrote: the problems about those aspects of Samus aren't that due to them female gamers are pissed off for a violation of political correctness, but because those aspects are badly designed and, as the article this time correctly says, just glued on the game as a cheap trick to attract males. This, more than by violating political correctness, is bad because it just insults the intelligence of gamers, and, again correctly said in the article, prevents female gamers from identifying with the PC. Sex appeal can be used in a much better way, but the sexy woman must be an active subject, not an object. My feeling is that dragging the argument into political correctness field, things get worse, because political correctness just makes the alternative to gratuitous, cheap sexy bits, boring. So basically the article is right (besides being a long rant), but I don't agree with one of the arguments it uses to justify its thesis, and I believe there is a better one available in its place. |
Okay. Now that you've read it.
What part of my argument qualifies as "political correctness"?
