When someone devotes at least a moderate portion of their time fighting for their ideal representation of a particular gender, what are the chances that representation is objective truth? What are the chances that person should be speaking on behalf of an entire gender? And most importantly, why should anyone care what they think?
To quote an older reply of mine concerning the topic:
I also think it's ridiculous for anyone to say that the God of War trophy--bros before hos--IS sexist, as if it were a matter of objectivity rather than subjectivity. I can see someone being offended by it, but I can see people being offended by a lot of things in God of War. This is especially true when it comes to the character of Kratos, as he has always been a complete asshole to everyone throughout the history of the series. Should women be an exception? Should Kratos show women nothing but respect? Would that be true to the character? Are the sex scenes in GoW misogynistic? Should the game feature more female enemies for Kratos to brutally murder alongside the male enemies, or should there not be any female enemies at all? Which is more sexist?
Anyone care to give their opinion on these questions? Does anyone really feel that there is a singular objective truth that can be used to correctly answer these questions?
I've posted that challenge in a couple of these threads, but I've yet to have someone take me up on it.
@theimmortalbum: With that setup you might be good until Witcher 3 comes out. Please save your money.
Do you think i'll be good for TW3 with a core i7 3630 and GT 650m? (its a laptop and I wouldn't be able to upgrade.)
Unfortunately, we still don't know the requirement for witcher 3 yet and I am uncomfortable commenting on laptop's GPU effectiveness (they are kind of like a lite version of its own desktop counter part) but I think I7 CPU should be fine.
Just fucking stop with the console wars already. Holy crap. Yea I think Microsoft should get shit on for what they tried, no I am not getting either console. If you have to write 6 paragraph explaining why you like one console over the other, there is something wrong there already. Here is the summary of what you were writing; I like X1 better because fuck you I like it.
That's all you needed to write, no one actually gives a shit if anyone buy ps4 or X1, its when people go out of their ways to spit in the other side's face that flaming happen.
