You schooled someone? please show, because all you've claimed to have done is shared your opinion, but clearly here you believe you've, as i said, hoisted yourself up morally above others.

By all means, tell us how things are in Japan, i'm sure everyone wants to hear the opinion of a non-japanese male, on the topic about how women feel about a japanese game, I'm sure it's more accurate and informative than that of an actual Japanese female.

You did... I'm sorry, but all the other users have been more reasonable than you have. You can have an unpopular belief and still back it up strongly as long as it's logically sound. However, you failed to do that hence why you got "schooled".

The bolded is your biggest problem in whatever conversations you have with everyone. No conversation goes well with a person with that kind of attitude. You claim that you don't lack knowledge of Japan, but your comments clearly show the contrary. What's worse is that you disagree with people who have actually been in Japan and/or live there. Sorry, but Hynad, Pokoko, Mornelithe, Tamron, and Tachikoma have made their arguments more persuasively and logically.

This thread should've ended 12 hours ago. Some people need to understand some god damned empathy.

This is an exercise in futility.

Deny, deny, deny, but you can't change the truth.

Don't have to. Your posts are already there for everyone else to see. The fact that everyone else thinks you got schooled is telling enough. You can't change what we think unless you change yourself. You're only going to perpetuate a lot of non-constructive discussion with that kind of attitude, so I suggest that you leave or make an about face. Everyone will appreciate it if this thread actually contains civil conversation rather than overreaction. I believe you've been warned a few times, not the others...

There is a monumental difference between being aware of the way sex is used to sell product, and the difference in sex limiting the understanding each has of the others experiences and thoughts.

Unless of course you believe a man understanding a woman, and a woman understanding a man, is the same thing as looking at advertising , movies and television and thinking "theyre using sex to sell something"

You yourself said "but if my sex were constantly made the object of sexual desire", and i pointed out that it is, there is no gender boundary there, it's just good, old fashioned acceptance of reality

You're clutching at straws.

And there goes the victim card, right on queue.

Thanks for proving my point.

It is mutual. That is why. If people are attacking you, then its probably because you offended them in some way.

Disagreeing opinions are fine, but when you do not recognize that it is your opinion or make an opinionated claim that causes offence then it will most like draw ire.

However, you should strive to learn from others even if you do not wish to change your own opinion.

You know, I'm trying to help you, but apparently, you don't want it. You really need to drop that attitude. You are the only one who is acting like this, so why is there any reason for me to link to a post? The fact that you had to ask me says it all. You only validate other people's reservations about you and consequently, defeat yourself. Everyone else's replies you echo the same sentiment.

Seriously, knock it off.

Because I take no sides, I look at movements, and social groupings with objectivity, I am not a patron of any of the -ist movements.

You clearly identify as a feminist, regardless of your own gender, and there's nothing wrong with that, however being a feminist does not make your views on how women as a whole feel about how women and girls are portrayed in games universal, it does not make it even the majority opinion - in actual fact, idenfiying as a feminist narrows down your objectivity on the topic considerably.

I shall ask a second time, by all means share with us this knowledge of Japan you claim to have.
