Between gaming journalism sites and Reddit, I have just about fucking had it with this shit. There is this phenomenon right now where people are getting really offended about perceived sexism in videogames, and that's fine. It's okay to be offended by shit. I'm sure there's something out there that would offend me, too.

But, at this point, it seems like people are starting to expect special treatment because they're offended. Like, being offended suddenly gives you some special power to deem what is and what is not okay for the rest of the world to be doing. I get the impression that things may have started with gaming sites clamoring to hop aboard the offended feminist train in order to garner favor from the community and generate hits, but now it's turned into this beast where you have to handle everything with kids' gloves or face a mob of shit-flinging internet drama queens (I'm using queens in this sense in reference to a kind of bratty, royal behavior rather than to imply a gender).

If for some reason you see a de-limbed torso statue, and you're immediately offended by the fact that it has tits rather than the fact that it's a horrible de-limbed torso, good for you. Fucking write a blog about it or something. But your being offended doesn't give you special privileges. It doesn't negate anybody else's right to be offensive, and it doesn't mean that you automatically have something to say that everybody needs to hear.

So, you're offended, women everywhere are having their lives destroyed because this tasteless statue has breasts, it's a huge issue that everybody needs to be informed of, etc. I'm going to say what I've wanted to say for a long time:

I don't care. Fuck you.

I hope that doesn't offend you.

5 star post. Hard to word it any better than this, I fully agree.

So we got a girl showing her boobs on her twitter pic talking about how offensive it is that this statue has boobs?

Alright then.

Well, if views and clicks are what Giantbomb desired - then good job.

If it's about quality and integrity - then they already lost.

Seeing as how they still keep Patrick around I guess it's easy to see what the choice was.

Yesterday I was in the city. Some woman was behind me as I entered a building.

I had to grin as I stepped back and held the door open for her. She looked at me and I saw her starting to tremble as tears were forming in her eyes.

"Ladies first."

At this point she was visibly shaken as she slowly went through the walkway, all while I felt power surging through me due to my oppression of a female. There is no denying I grew very aroused then. When she passed me I leaned in and whispered "It was my privilege."

One day Patrick will stop trying to push his agenda and ruin Giantbomb with it. I eagerly await that day.

I registered (silent reader before) for no other reason than to ask that Klepek may please step down and seek a career elsewhere. This article is everything wrong with gaming journalism and I was close to just hitting the big X when I saw you on the WiiU marathon stream. This is "Kotaku" level, something I hoped giantbomb would never fall down to.

Don't take this the wrong way, I'm sure you have other talents. This just isn't one of them.
