"Eight Women, Eight Responses, And Every Response is The Same."

Are you a woman with a different view? and the fact that 8 women have the same response shouldn't that tell you something?

That while it may not matter to you. It matters to other people.

I am really saddened by people response. Mostly going "Oh its a piece about women! I am a man. SO FUCK WOMEN!"

Ontop of that people are going "Oh Patricks doing some Journalism....FUCK KLEPEK!"

I myself I am interested in the opinion of women on the subject. I wanted to see if this really was a subject that truly offended women. The Lara Croft "Protect Lara" was so nebulas and purley from the point of women I couldn't form a true opinion.

This I saw and went "No that is really bad taste. Even if it was male...but as a women.. that is just sexing it up." I wanted female opinions on the matter, more so game centred women that have put up with the decades of Anti-women aimed marketing. Here it is @patrickklepek delivered it.

These are not views easily found in a larger text. Its small snippets. Here is the meat and bones of the their opinion, I am intrested. A number of yous may not be but to come by and just go "OH BLAH BLAH BLAH! WOMEN! I dont wanna here about WOMEN!" doesn't help anything, its is a larger issue than just you as a male. Just because it isnt your issue dosnt make it "A" Issue.

I only see the valid comments on if they want such articles on GB. However when they are delivered with the tone of "I hate Patrick and that fact he often writes, I WANT HIM TO STOP!" ruins any good feedback by being a child on the playground about it.

Well put! Lot's of "It's not offensive to me, so why is it offensive to you?!" going on in here.

Good point indeed!

There are so many people on here that needs to learn the true definition of sexism, and also feminism ((as perfectly explained by Kate Lorimer).

@marcusofadown: We're commenting because we love the site, and are dismayed that this particular bullshit story has now been a featured article TWICE. When Anita Sarkeesian is getting death threats, or women inside the industry want to comment on the sexism they face, then yes it is a valid article and subject to talk about. But Klepek doesn't offer that, his articles are pure Kotaku-shit from which he can claim moral superiority without offering any sort of thoughtful discourse on it.

OH GOD! TWO ARTCILES? TWO? Oh no, this site is doomed. i'm canceling my subscription right now. Man two, that is like...one more then one!

Moral superiority? No thoughtful discourse? I don't even know where to begin with that nonsense.

Note: not a reply to you, Abendlaender. I agree with you :)

Geeze ... I understand that some people dont like that thing, heck I didnt like it ... but some of the comments in the article are downright offensive to me as a male ...

"To a woman like me, it's sickening because it represents how some men see real-life women every day."

really? So when women use a vibrator should I be offended because "thats how they see real-life man every day"?

Yes, that's a perfectly reasonable, logical comparison.

*sigh*

So many awful, ignorant and plain dumb responses to this excellent article from Patrick. My god, what are some of you thinking?

Yeah, I get it, you don't think this is anything to discuss or even talk about. Yeah, you are tired of it and yada yada. Fine, go away and stop fucking commenting articles on the matter then. Why are you even commenting at all?

This is, actually, a very important subject matter and something that we must always adress if we want the game industry to truly evolve. Equality is key, in all walks of life. How can anyone not agree with that? The breast-torso-horrorshow is just a perfect and tragic example of an industry that needs to grow the fuck up in many aspects.

How can you not understand that making both men and women feel equally welcome and embraced in the gaming community is a good thing for ALL OF US? From a marketing stand-point, from an artistic stand-point, from a gamers stand-point. We all gain something from having our beloved industry become more equal.

Medal of Honor: Dude shooter

Wait, what? There are giantbombers who doesnt like Patrick? What the dang are ya thinking?! Patrick completes GB, in a non-Tom Cruise kind of way.

Yes please, Patrick. More of these!

Remember my first experiences with Silent Hill. That soundwork still freaks me the fuck out.

With this and the Wii U, Nintendo looks more and more desperate. Jesus christ, people, what the hell were you thinking?!  It looks like... well, a piece of plastic shit to be frank.
