You are a bunch of men having a discussion about what you feel is a fair resolution for industry issues affecting industry women.
Some of your opinions are fine. Some are not. But I do want to remind you - there are not really women involved in the conversation here. And I'd like you to think about that.
This is exactly my issue. All opinions are just that, opinions. There's no fine and not fine. Sure some people are assholes about it and should be called out for it. You can also disagree with them but opinions are not facts and therefore you can say you THINK that opinion isn't fine but you can't categorically deny it by stating it as such.
But moreso I take umbrage that since we're men talking about women's issues we therefore shouldn't have an opinion. Much of what I say comes from listening to my wife (also an avid gamer) who loved Bayonetta and disagrees MORE vehemently than I do about Anita's videos. She refuses to say her piece on this issue because she's seen how women who have disagreed have been treated by the 'good' side and so has washed her hands of the whole thing which is disappointing to me because with her being a professional writer I think she could add quite a bit of good perspective to this situation which I could not even come close to conveying.
