The girl gamers I know don't have problems with Dragon's Crown or Bayonetta artstyle. They like Chun Li or Cammy. But they think Gearbox games like Brother in Arms or Borderlands are FPS rubish for males with generic artstyle.
One of them is offended with the last Tomb Raider because Lara appears as weak and someone to protect, something she don't like and prefer the strong Lara, doesn't matter. She didn't care if Lara had giant boobs, as she don't care if male characters are overmusculated or not.
This thread has become a joke. I'd tell you all about my six-hour conversation with Kamitani about eroticism and its role in Japanese history but I fear it wouldn't be worth the time.
Is there anything that actually establishes that Moxxi runs a burlesque show and not just a bar? I never played through her DLC, but I know in two she just ran a normal bar, I never saw a stage with performers.

You can't just drop a bomb like that into the thread and walk away, man! I'd be interested in hearing about that, and I imagine quite a few other people here would, too.
Do it. You wont. Make another thread.This thread has become a joke. I'd tell you all about my six-hour conversation with Kamitani about eroticism and its role in Japanese history but I fear it wouldn't be worth the time.
No, in fact I complain about the practices my company has more then I complain about any other company in the industry I work in. My issue isn't that she was critical, my issue is that she was being selectively critical.

Oh, and I love how you went from "When I worked for Activision I came here all the time and posted about things I thought
Activision was doing wrong. Do you think I should have shut up?" to "What? You want her to speak out about her own employer and call them out for doing things she doesn't like? Do you want her to get fired?" So it was a perfectly reasonable option for you to question your employer on an internet forum but all of the sudden its beyond comprehension that someone else should do the same thing?

What did she explain more? I havnt followed the thread, sorry.All good and well that she clarified/explained her opinion more, but it would've been nice if it wasn't so inflammatory from the start (kinda like the first Kotaku "article"?).
Probably part of the reason why some people are upset about this talk about the sorceress character, artist, and game.

Do you have any specific username or phrase i can search for? I dont feel like reading all the posts in the last pages right now, sorryCheck the posts from the last page.
Not that I totally agree with her though, but yeah.
No I wouldn't. That makes no sense toward my argument. Your scenario implies that I think she's wrong. It's her opinion, I can't tell her shes wrong if she doesn't like something. My issue is that she doesn't practice what she preaches. I'm not going to listen to someone who would make such brash insulting judgements that works for someone who does the same things she's trying to make fun of. It lowers the credibility of her opinions to me because she's involved in the same things she's criticizing, yet acting like she's better then them in some way. It's the same reason I stopped listening to politicians, they're very easy to pass judgement and act like they know everything while very rarely, if ever doing better then the people they're criticizing. Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean everyone has to take it into consideration or consider it valid. I'm not going to listen to the opinion of an artist I don't find credible criticizing anything.I don't see much point in belaboring the rest of the argument; you clearly see nothing wrong with a textbook ad hominem argument, but I want to clarify the difference between these situations is that when I was employed by Activision, I didn't write critical posts about them under my own name; I did so anonymously, and from the perspective of a disinterested consumer (I didn't have or claim to have an insider's perspective or any control over anything; in fact I wasn't saying anything that lots of other bloggers and posters weren't also saying independently). Surely even you see the difference between posting under one's own name and posting under a pseudonym. And this shows the problem with your argument: by your thinking, if you (hypothetically) had read my posts at the time, you might have agreed with them (as did dozens of others basically all saying the same things about their business); and yet, now, years later that you have this information, you would suddenly retroactively say they were null and void even though the actual opinion or argument would not have changed.

I'm informed. She said something idiotic, and that's all that needs to be known. I don't think I criticized her, regardless.Well, if you don't care about her opinion, why criticize it, is my point. If you do care enough to criticize it, at least be informed about what you're criticizing. (She apologized for that hyperbolic post, btw.)

Don't let the pre-release developer talk fool you. Lara Croft in the new Tomb Raider doesn't need any protecting. She's a Dexter style serial killer who clubs guys with an axe before sticking an arrow in their neck and smashing their face with a rock. I've played all of the Tomb Raider games, and she's never been more 'empowered.' She's downright scary.Lara and Samus =(.
People still think this is unique to videogames?
haha the skullgirls VA's get so annoyed when that game gets called sexist.
Thanks Although in that quote it doesnt seem to me like she clearified much on what she first said about the Dragon Crown's artwork. What she said to begin with is kinda insulting to the Dragon Crown's artist, in my opinion. There would be other ways to say it and still get the same point across. I also dont really agree with what she says that a game like Dragon's Crown serves the purpose to cement that gaming developement is a male thing only, although i see her point. But the same thing could be said about for example violent games as well, because the stereotype kinda thing is that violent and shooting in games/movies is more of a guy's thing. So i dont think that one game like Dragon's Crown is really much damaging in this regards, especially concidering how many games that are made.See this post (bottom quotes after "For the record"):

Congratulations with the baby!Just showed the Dragon's Crown pictures to my wife (we're actually at the hospital, just had a baby) and she had no reaction. I told her the attacks critics are having on the artists and those that like the art, and she was just confused as to why that would be possible.
....and here's the baby picture. Just had to show it!
