"They are not coming to take away our games they say, they just want fair representation they say :P"


Oh yeah I played GTA 5 and no you don't "inflict" violence towards a women in any mission. Infact the most egregiouas act of violence, totture, was done to a male.

The game did show somethings against women, AKA Husband and Wife disptues, strip clubs, Trevor even killed one women and one man at the sametime and they don't even show it, showcases Trevor does not care about any gender.

The only thing is because in game the player "can" activelly go on rampages against NPCs which includes female NPCs, but this is cominng from the same people who made the accusation that GTA 5 players actively kill more female NPCs than Males, "Because thats what they are feeling" as if they have omniscience. I own GTA 5 and I don't actively kill only female NPCs hell I rarely go on Rampages because its hard to stay alive with all those Cops and Soldiers.

Why not banned The Last of Us," The Social Justice Warrior's game" for depicting the death of a little girl, the implied infection of another, 2 older women and the attempted brain surgery of a gay teenage girl :P

You would say I shoulld not care because this is in Australia and Australia always had this thinking when it comes to violent games, but still how long until this happens everywhere.

These Liberal Third Wave Femenist and Social Justice Warriors can go fuck themselves and to think I had a somewhat positive outlook towards them but after the negative things these people are capable of, they are just as bad as Right Wing Politicians who says video games can cause real life violence in thier own way.

Congratulations, they are now officially worse than Jack Thompson. Welcome to bizarro world where Jack Thompson is considered a good guy, Bobby Kotick is recognised for keen business sense and Tim Schafer despised.

Also: fictional violence against men is just fine, but fictional violence against women is the greatest crime in our modern age. I present to you the SJW version of "equality".

That does seem odd
Its people like this who prevent us from having nice things, and prevent companies like Nintendo from really exploring. When they scream, 'Won't someone think of the children!?' I tend to roll my eyes and my horse corpse. If you cannot take the time to see to it that they aren't looking up porn on the new Apple Expense Account 6 Mini, that is your own failure.

If we are to use their insane thought process, they should be outraged over Super Smash Bros, considering how easy it could be to make Peach-hime a punching bag. And PETA should be all over it too. But last I checked, no animals are harmed when Pikachu gets KO'd.

Because, on this Pale Blue Dot of ours, we live in reality. And games like GTA Zzz are seated firmly I'm fantasy. If I was able to understand that at age 5 (Not that I was playing it), then these barking old idiots should understand too.

Besides, I'll happily take Saints Row over GTA any dang day.

They do, they know exactly what they are doing. They create a problem where none exists and then they sell you the solution. I know the saying "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.", but that many people cannot be that stupid.

Certainly, I understand the wish that people aren't as stupid and it can be attributed to malice, but you dearly have to realize that by your own phrasing, they've created a product for a problem that doesn't exist. They're too incompetent to operate a blanket.

I believe HiPhish means the other way around - executives and leaders knowingly invent a problem in order to sell their "solution".

I knew what he meant, and I was suggesting that said leaders and executives have the problem as well because they're loosened from reality and live in pocket dimensions. They can stick to the 'malice' side of things, I'm keeping my 'puddingbrain' idea because I read too much Dilbert as a child.
So many parties to slap down, so little time.

Gamers - Remember the other month when you demanded retailers like GoG blacklist Hatred despite knowing next to nothing about it outside of a minute-long trailer? Well it turns out other people can do that too, with games you like! Who would've thought eh?

Retailers – This is the kind of crap that will see gaming move away from you and entirely into the digital age. Go ahead and give up your piece of the pie to one of the bestselling games of all time and turn your nose up at an industry that’s bigger than Hollywood. The publishers hate sharing money anyway.

The mystery consumers that complained – At least if you had moaned about the depiction of violence period, this wouldn't sound quite as moronic. Picking women apart in Rockstar’s ultra-violent GTA series makes virtually no sense, and its people like you that ensures the Australian government will continue to treat its adult people like children in regards to content they consume.
As an Australian, its not that big a deal. There's plenty of other places to get the game from.

Yes, of course. "SJW" is "n*****-lover" for the 21st century. Great job with the ironic quotation marks, too.

So what is the proper way to descibe a "SJW"

Besides when this discussion of femenism and women's portrayal in gaming and the whole thing about Anita Sarkeesian I was sympethetic to her cause because I have seen the abusive comments in you kickstarter video.

Plenty of "Tits or GTFO"

But than I saw what she was really doing from more level headed critics like Cheshire Cat Studios and I can now see how something at first was a good thing became so bad, watch these videos from these guys:
