Gaming - The Feminst Flag Up the Phallic Flagpole

This is 100% bang on. It is entirely an issue of respect

Of the hoisin-duck based snack, and its identity as "vulnerable and soft to touch, like a lady" - I like to think I'm slightly less vulnerable than a roasted waterfowl in a bap, and I'm certainly less willing to let strangers bite me.

On the other hand, and with all joking aside, I'm SO glad that people - men in particular - are willing to say that they don't think rape in games is okay. Sadly it seems that a great many internet commentors - and gamers, presumably - don't feel that a woman is qualified to judge what is and is not offensive or beyond the pale, and are being oversensitive and hysterical when we raise an example. It's sad to say, but the more male writers and gamers that object, the more weight the complaints seem to carry. If nothing else, this shows the lack of respect for women that the "so what? it's just a game!" faction seem to possess.

I'm reasonably certain that you've already seen it, but the following article is also worth mentioning: ***n00b weblink removed*** />
It's nice to feel that we're not the only ones that object to seeing women as victims of violent aggression.

I would be over joyed if more white people objected to hearing some black rappers say the N-word, instead of finding out some by the music and rap it at home behind closed doors and when its overheard there return is and I quote "Well he says it in his songs so why can't I say it?!" I'm black myself and couldn't care less for saying the word or hearing it from anybody, I do wonder why its brought up in this article though as its kind of irrelevant to the point the article was making. It's a stupid word and there is no empowerment in saying it, only a sign that such a person would refer themselves to it is someone who enjoys being segregated and likes the attention it gives them. Its quite sad. It's like when unintelligent females call each other bitches and whores just because men decided one day it was an appropriate name for a women who didn't fancy him. We all know men are visual for just about everything so when a man decides putting a rape scene in a game where originally a strong women is the protagonist makes me question that, that man is feeding his own sad fantasy of 'okaying' trying to suppress a tough women in her own damn game, though she is a fictional character it seems a metaphor for his crushed ego. Someone should tell him a women can't emasculate a man, if he isn't tough or feel like he can't do what he want's its because he has chosen that life. A women can't make a man do something he doesn't want to do. Its a shame the creators of this new game could not think outside the female suppressing box, if they had they would have looked at Sarah Connor and Ripley for inspiration. Also comparing women to sandwiches? You may want to have a look at your own motives a little closer and make a conscious effort to not say things regarding your articles, just to say them. In no shape or form am I a feminist, I do beauty pageants 101 for not being a feminist. I just respect myself, and do any silly people out there who have never even been to a pageant its about female empowerment. Not to displease other women and certainly not to please men.

Sincerely,

I may not know what I want, but I certainly know what I don't want.

Ps: The Hitman thing unfortunately is just some guys sadistic dream of defiling a couple of nuns, trying to bring his and some other male weirdo's dreams to light only to then suppress them by showing you can then punch them in the face for being daring, and then have Hitman to then go off and look cool for doing it, I mean would any man who respects women do that or even show it to there kids? Many wonder why there sister's and mothers and daughters are then in and out of a relationship beaten to a pulp by an un respecting man? Much worse stay with that said offender because media (including GAMES and television) project that this retarded-ness is the norm. How very sad aye?
