It's just that people like us and them are being put under the same umbrella by any of the lefties. And they said it themselves: "...that this is a plausible scenario". When it is clearly not. And how is what I said a lie? It's clear that in that sentence "they don't understand that this is a plausible scenario" they are referring to the very first trailer with the woman. |
That is fine. I wrote my response at like 2am. So I can understand feeling tired. Some of my comment might have come off as unclear.
If you admit that, then hey, I am happy and we have no real disagreements.
"And how is what I said a lie? It's clear that in that sentence "they don't understand that this is a plausible scenario" they are referring to the very first trailer with the woman. "
It wasn't a lie so much as a purposeful exaggeration (unless you genuinely just did not read the statement). I said this in my original reply, but maybe I didn't make myself clear. Up until the "prosthetic arm" and "cricket bat" part, nothing you said in that part of your comment was really objectionable. But when you lump in that stuff as if the developer was trying to say that fans are ignorant for not knowing about prosthetic arms then ... well ... you're kind of putting a word in his mouth. If you just stuck to the part about women it would make some sense because that's clearly what he is referring to and it historically objectionable in some ways, but when you try to pin down the completely fantastical elements into that comment as well you're either misrepresenting, forgot the quote or are trying to make a point. Trying to make a point by showing the contrast between saying fans "just don't know things about history n' stuff" and simultaneously having completely unrealistic elements in the game would be both hilarious and effective, it's a nice contrast. However even under that circumstance the developer clarifies his view in the same exact quote, when he later on says "and listen: this is a game". So there's no real contradiction in what he's saying. He's saying that fans just don't know things (referring to women) and then clarifies that it's just a game so there should be some levity. It's only unreasonable as a statement when you deconstruct how realistic having women in certain regions really is, but when you added on the rest it made your point weaker. Admittedly, this is the most nitpick-y worthless part of my reply. It was really supposed to be more of a "P.S." or addendum, but I ended up writing it like it was a central part of my argument.
