Why does /pol/ and reddit have such a strong presence here, ffs take your MRA bullshit somewhere else
One, nobody here has identified as such.
Two, at best all you have is people not wanting feminist conversations about sexism. If people saying they don't want to discuss politics in a game forum and disagreeing with you makes them the your perceived enemy, then you, sir, have issues. Opinions have spectrum, last I checked, and you trying to point fingers and draw black&white lines is petty and immature....and uninformed.
Three, Larian doesn't exist in a vacuum, but the context of game feedback should. If I asked someone about the technical details of an Iphone, I don't want their opinion on how it compares to an Android. I want run times and UI feedback.
Four, not everyone shooting down feminist points concerning sexism did it by simply going "yar yar SJW." Some of us, myself among them, have offered middle ground ideas, compromises, rebutted point-for-point and so on. Even some of the women have come out and said this was ridiculous....so are they an enemy of women now, too?
At this point, it's ridiculous that you want to keep this going. It's ridiculous that you feel the need. It's ridiculous that you can't lay down your swords of justice and crusader attitude, get off your high horse, and discuss the damn game without making it about politics.
How many fucking times do I, or someone else, have to point out that saying you want more options is fine. Saying you want more options cause [insert any reason here] and then saying [insert subjective statement on my stance on a social issue here] and backing it up with [insert this has nothing to do with the game but these are what I think is wrong with society and because society pisses me off I feel the need to be an activist for change so things get 'better' by my relative definition and I want this mirrored here].
Last I checked, none of you even made valid points worth great consideration beyond "I'm uncomfortable because this doesn't align with my beliefs on how the world should be in reality." You even went so far as to bring up the 'Wage Gap'? Like really? That mythical leprechaun that's been shot down so much it must be immortal and masochistic with how often it pops up? What's next: Rape culture? Man spreading/sitting? Body image? I mean cause obviously all of this has some indirect connection with this.
You know what else? Evolution, global warming, and capitalism and socialism, economics, consumer laws....I can go on. All of this also has a tangential indirect connection. Hell, mythology could be brought in.
Notice a pattern? People don't. It's unwarranted and unwanted. It just creates side tangents that have nothing to do with anything in any constructive format. Fucks sake, I had the decency to avoid labeling. I just warned you that you might be taking things too far and too kindly back the fuck off cause it was getting rant worth....Fuck me, I did rant didn't I? Well, Shit. *points finger* This is your fault. Merlin's Hot Pants! Feminism is a very sore point with me politically...as is most socially "progressive" movements at the moment. I at least had the fucking decency to not try to make this into a that debate though.
I even offered a motherfucking optional suggestion I wouldve thought you and everyone that agrees with you might like. One that might've even gained traction.
Better yet, others have offered some suggestions as well in he same vain. And yet things keep swinging back around to this political shit. Do you feel some deep abiding need to do this? To be acknowledged for your fanatical faith in what you prescribe to believe and preach it? Do you sometimes wish you were born during times of adversity so that you may mount some great crusade? Where exactly does this need to constantly find problems with the world around you and label enemies and draw lines in the sand come from? Do you even read the articles centered around how traditional, old time feminists and liberals view the current generation and their craziness? It's not pretty I assure you. Actually, don't answer. While the study into the human psyche is interesting, I feel no inclination at this time to crack open that abyss and stare that monster in the face.
EDIT: One last thing, none of you have raised any points concerning the issues with male characters......Odd that. You'd almost think you have a clear bias.
*Slow Exhale* *Deep Breath In* *Calm Breath Out*
Sorry, for the side rant peoples; my patience was simply worn thin.
Sorry, for that. Had to get out at least once.
