PixlBit

Agree with this. That's why Saints Row: The Third is so much more fun than GTA 4.

I say we call ourselves the Epic Pixls here. I think it would be really awesome if we were Epic Pixls. Or Epic Bits.

Yeah, I get that point. I'm not saying that the issues are equal, nor that every talk needs to address both issues. I actually like Marcus Fenix and think a rant on Gears would be bullshit. But so are all these other sexism rants and from these people's viewpoints, this should be offensive in the same way. I just want to see this issue get the viewpoints it deserves. And even though it does deserve most of its attention towards women, I think the other side needs to be examined at least a little.

Yeah, I'm not trying to devalue the a subject, I just don't think the people covering it treat it with the respect it deserves, instead forcing a rant to further their own agenda.

Damn. All caps, I can't compete with that. Guess I'll just pack up and go home

Man I love when I get people like you commenting on my blogs. I'm not trying to devalue the subject in and of itself, just saying if people are going to address it, they need to do a better job than they are right now. Those are just some points where they fall short in my eyes. There could be more and these won't work for every time someone addresses them. They're just ideas.

It's definitely true that women have a much worse representation than men and your point about the Black Panthers is a good one. Yet just like affirmative action is a topic worth addressing despite that the majority is getting represented, addressing both sides of the issue is important with sexism. It is a lot more relatable and makes for an all around more interesting point if we see the picture as a whole rather than just one side.

Yeah, I'm not saying that talking about sexism in and of itself is bad. I'm saying that the rants we're getting suck most of the time.

True, men are more positive. Yet it still reeks of a double standard when someone will be grasping at straws for women while avoiding any potential negative effects on men.

Yeah, I think part if it from people like those is that male gamers are some of the worst people to understand how to approach an issue like sexism, even if it is a part of their medium.
