To say people should be excluded because other people are being bigots is absurd. Don't do that.

I'm not a Patrick-hater, I actually really enjoy pretty much everything he writes and stuff and am usually one of the ones to go "no you guys shut up Patrick is fine," but "It’s different when it’s a woman, this is over the line" is maybe the first thing written on Giant Bomb that I find weird or disagree with. Not to say that the statue isn't super gross, super misogynistic, super immature, and super dumb, but... yeah. Weird.

This statue is really sexist but I dunno man I just have a problem when people point out that it's sexist.

@dr_mantas: It shows women's inequality to men by reducing them to a pair of faceless breasts. Not a new problem for video games but definitely still a big problem.

This doesn't reduce all of women to a pair of breasts, nowhere does it say - this is all women are, it's just breasts, let's cut them up. It doesn't mean any of that, you make it mean that.

If it this statue had a head and a big old zombie face, would it be better? No, it would still be a ridiculously ugly statue. But that's not the point. The point is you can't prescribe malice to them whenever you feel like it.

BTW, talking of actual violence directed at a gender, are you familiar with the S.C.U.M. manifesto? Just wondering.

What on earth are you talking about? Of course we as individuals who have either experienced sexual objectification, or at the very least are educated and aware of it, would be the ones to identify it in culture, and in other individuals.

Nothing exists in a vacuum. Consider the long history of violence towards women, the objectification of women, why do you think this wouldn't be a problem? Why do you think this shouldn't be offensive?

Please name me some points from your long history. When men went to war, and women stayed home, when men worked in coal mines, while women stayed home.

When a man was worth nothing more than the food he brought home, but a woman was sacrosanct.

the word you were looking for was "property"

Men's Rights Activists all up in this comments thread.

You guys are the worst.

Just quoting this and adding my voice in support, because this thread is bumming me out big time, and I do not want anyone thinking that being a GB member paints me by association as a gross, willfully-ignorant clown who is okay with this kind of bullshit objectification.

Sad, isn't it? It's legitimately disheartening to me that I share a fan community with these people. I feel absolutely ashamed reading some of these comments.

Also, I love this idea that only Patrick cares about sexism. As if Jeff, Ryan, Brad, and Vinny wouldn't whole-heartedly agree with him on this.

Sexism is such a huge part of gaming culture that people flip the fuck out when it's attacked.

You people are fucking nuts. Talking about these crazy MRAs, let's not listen to what they SAY. Let's insult them, and call them bad people. Let's say that they are defending discrimination (sexism) when NO ONE has actually done that. Not one person in this thread defended discrimination.

I like that the Men's Rights movement is gaining ground. First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you.

Then you win.

Actually just about everyone is defending sexism here. And whoa who knew, you're an MRA! Weird.

@RockyRaccoon37: Either equality is equal or it's not equality. If the notion of sexism doesn't apply equally across genders, it's doomed before it even begins.
