I'd reply but I kind of covered it in my above post. Your argument is fine, Sqrl, some gamers are in it for the boobies, but that's not what this guy is complaining about.

 

I'm glad you approve

Honestly I didn't think there was much disagreement between you two overall.  I think you both are saying pretty much the same thing but driving at it from opposite directions.

/shrug, thats my take on it anyways

Oh I don't mean blaydcor. I mean the guy who wrote the article at IGN.

As I said:

You make a fair point that can be applied to both of the sexes but isn't generally noticed for male characters as much because the feminine perspective is rarely considered outside of female gaming circles. However, I will argue that the article-writer's point is not your point; he primarily cites characters who are not examples of this, and complains more loudly of women who are stoic and wise-cracking, and of "forced sexual equality" more than tits and ass. You can't make an argument for forced sexual equality and sexual exploitation in the same breath, and his examples supported his umbrage with the former, not the latter.

This article got IGN banned from neogaf.

.....Are you serious?

Link it.

 

And it only happened on the second page of the thread!

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=348976&page=2

Nobody even asked for it to be banned.  I guess Evilore or somebody got pissed.

The only site I agreed with them banning was Kotaku (but even then, the entire practice of outright banning sites is iffy).  I'm not sure why they ever unbanned them.

 

I find this even more amusing than the IGN article.

At what point will GAF ban all linking and just pretend they aren't on the internet?

I actually agree with most of that article. Aside from the fact that it was extremely anti-Wii, it made some very good points.

Just because this guy is not saying ''Wii will win'' doesen't mean he is fanboy. Not every web site has to worship Nintendo and Sony

read the article first, the bash have an explanation.
they don't believe is killing anything but rather those things are obvious and can be done better.

there is no "killing gaming" but rather things can be improved.

and he attacks every console for HD engines to lead characters, he is no fanboy.

Wait, this is IGN AU.

Can we dismiss it now?

I don't know if it's in the topic, but I think that Rouge the Bat is a disturbing view.

Anyway, this "article" really sucks.
