Re: The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes Director Defends Absence of Female Playable Characters

For an androgynous character, what would female Link look like? Larger breasts? Longer hair? Yet a big part of the current social movement is that women should not be defined into such stereotypes...all kinds of body shapes, hairstyles, etc. To make a female Link would be to take an already androgynous character and include stereotypical female imagery.

Is it not the agenda of the feminist movement to merge the gap between male and female, to take away the tags of masculine and feminine? By advocating the distinction of a female Link, it gives the impression that it IS separation they want, not cohesion.

Re: Feature: The Poor Career Choice of Super Smash Bros. Professionals

If the demand is there the money is there. League of Legends has one of the highest unique player counts out of any game out there. 75mil+. It makes sense that so many people would watch the pros. Not to mention those spectators make up a mere fraction of the total user-base and still rake in cash. Smash 4 has like what, 8 million lifetime sales? And Melee like 7? The reason these people aren't being paid much is because the market is niche.

Dude, Nintendo can have ONE character that is sexu- im not even going to use that word. ATTRACTIVE CHARACTERS IN FICTION WILL NEVER LEAVE. People like characters to be larger than life, this goes back to freaking Beowulf. People also like characters that they can relate to; there is a balance. Not every freaking woman in media needs to be an average looking 20 something that doesnt wear makeup.
