Yet another GAF thread - I still haven't got over it :( (No spergfits allowed)

I don't think it's fair for Ellis to be discredited as a hypocritical hack, but Cortana is problematic to his cause. While he probably isn't responsible at all for Cortana's design, it is a target that is much closer to home that he is conveniently ignoring. I don't think this makes him a hypocritical jerk, but I do think it makes him a less than ideal candidate to make this critique.

There is no ideal candidate for this kind of critique. Let's keep it real honest.

Kojima wants to top this.

[nachobro]

don't forget underboob.

but hey ladies get haggar, so it's fairsy-squaresy

Most half naked video game dudes seem like they are made to appeal to gay men. Haggar, Chris Redfield, Dante, even the Dwarf dude from Dragon's Crown.

[nudemacusers]

i would totally bottom for chris redfield

nohomo

[Himu]

chris redfield is popular with girls lemme tell ya

i'm fucking serious, i know no less than 4 chris fangirlz.

But it doesn't change that they have TERRIBLE taste given Leon's superiority. 

[MCD]

Chris is my husbando!

[Himu]

But Chris and Leon are both gay

[nudemacusers]

well everyone knows leon > *, but if I want to get split in half, I'm calling Chris.

Well, sure. I'm just saying that it's hard to champion for a cause and lambaste what someone else is doing while conveniently ignoring what's going on at your own studio because it pays the bills. That's not to say that he's wrong, or that he should shut the fuck up. Obviously, I'm pretty empathetic to the point he's making. But still, conveniently ignoring Cortana is going to be an elephant in the room should Ellis continue to speak out about sexism in gaming.

And as for gaming hunks, I'm going to go with Star Ocean 4's Edge Maverick for no other reason than that his name is Edge Maverick. If that guy doesn't know how to please someone in bed -- man or woman -- then he doesn't deserve the name Edge Maverick. Note: I've never played a Star Ocean game, let alone 4.

Sure just saying given how prevalent the sexy female character is in gaming, talking about how a dev was on board some ship with one thus his opinion isn't the best, means that the list of people who would be qualified to talk about it is very narrow. I'd rather anyone and everyone talk about it, especially if they worked in a collaborative setting where they were overruled. Make this shit more transparent. Tell us who is holding back the tide of better development/creative endeavors.

the hottest vidya hunks are obvi the Devil May Cry twins

brob i think you just may have a thing for pale skin white haired people that have a tinge of primary colors on their clothing.

The only video game characters I've found particularly attractive are Ayami Kojima's depictions of Castlevania characters.

He inherited Cortana's design and you know how much nerds love when you change shit.

Met the dude in person. Cool bro.

Also the idea that someone who criticizes another work has complete control over an IP they inherited that already has 4 games. What.

It was a stupid comment to make on his part regardless. It should be obvious that someone would jump on it and go from "David Ellis has a personal opinion" to "343 designer has an opinion". It's a really cheap and easy story for the click-bait blogs like VG24/7.

Unfortunately the conversation is basically ruined with just back and forth twitter commentary instead of a nuanced discussion/round table complete with some female gamer input. It's all "this sucks" or "PC POLICE." The conversation blows.

The "conversation" was ruined the moment he tried to initiate it on a format like twitter. That's what a blog posting is for so can you can write more nuanced and longer form thoughts than "man babies".

a conversation that started with a fire-and-forget opinion torpedo.

no one uses twitter to start a nuanced discussion. it's the pub toilet door with delusions of grandeur.

That, combined with his signature hyperbole and long-winded writing, makes him even more offensive than he was before. I know he'll end up writing a 5 page, pro-consumer, ethics paper if asked-- but when did he become so naive?

[nudemacusers]

women are pretty hypocritical.
'oh jeez all these pig men ogling boobs but don't look at me in this nice dress while I flaunt my body!'

'i can say i'm pms-ing but don't call me weak or overemotional!'

'I am going to date this guy and never answer your calls!'

[Momo]

It's not just Amirox though, the majority of console gamers are publicly on the Sony baloney pony because they are simply the better choice. I'd recommend you guys avoid gaming forums until Sony fucks up big time else it's going to be pretty difficult for you.

you know, the most illuminating aspect of these women/feminism/sexist threads are how many people truly feel that games are being 'picked on' and singled out, because rape/nudity/sexuality is totally cool and uncontested for books, movies, and television. Which is so hilariously untrue that it suggests an incredibly narrow consumption of media and journalism.
