Re: Dead Or Alive Producer Feels That A Cultural Divide Exists Between Japan And The West

@Quorthon You can be anti feminist and not anti female (80% of women don't identify as feminists yet it claims to speak for all women which should be seen as just as insane as me claiming to speak for all men).

@OMC79 Feminism is a political ideology and faulty for similar reasons to communism or fascism. (Authoritarianism).

@Morph Problem is the low standards that mean people who care about this type of nonsense (and not games) can get into positions like this. Even worse is the influence even a few can have. Publishers care about metacritic to the extent that they don't care about 60fps because they think it doesn't affect the score. Even a few marking down for these petty reasons will affect the score hence what games get made.

Re: The Stability of 3DS System Update 9.5.0-22 May Rock Your World

@Einherjar I cannot think of any update that has resulted in better performance (I can think of many that have resulted in worse performance). Something becoming slower is making it objectively worse. (Rebooting from a cold boot which I do when my 3DS is in my pocket because in standby it tends to dislodge the cart and have that black screen with white writing now takes ages longer than it used to).

Re: Poll: Nintendo's Year of Multiplayer Gaming on Wii U and 3DS Aims to Bring Us Together Online and At Home

@JaxonH My main hope is on Splatoon being one of the best selling Wii U games. (If that does happen then it will send a good message to Nintendo that a great game made from a great idea can be successful).

I am going to get Codename Steam but I am not expecting any great miracles when it comes to sales.

Dunno about Fire Emblem I am (still) enjoying the GBA VC Fire Emblem more than I did Awakening. (I did finish Awakening on hard with 2 or 3 restarts but I feel as if wasn't a clean win. The GBA one it feels like I have won in a fair way).

@DiscoGentleman Basically the entireity of social science is situations like this. http://www.thecollegefix.com/post/20375 - They come up with something they feel should be correct and then mess around with numbers until it looks plausible.
That is why they hate evolutionary psychology so much because it uses proper methods as much as possible.
The problem at the very top is real.
But the women earn less one isn't it doesn't take into account that on average they choose to work less hours.
Stuff like say there is two scholarships one for anybody one for only women. First has say 50 people going for it second has 3. If it was about equality then the feminists would want to be treated equally i.e 2 scholarships no special privileges for either men or women.

@Dogpigfish That statistic is deliberately misleading like nearly all of the rubbish produced by such people. (Most of the time it is debunked when somebody who understands the Maths bothers to but not before it affects government and corporate policy).

There is lots more women who play casual games and there is a few genres (In console / PC gaming) where there are a reasonable proportion of women playing them.

That statistic counts anybody who has ever played a game. (Play Pacman once in the early 80's it counts even if you never touched a game since).

@AugustusOxy I somewhat agree. Mob rule is not justice in any way shape or form.

@DiscoGentleman Feminism isn't about equal rights not any more. The women who are about that and identify as feminists get incredible amounts of hate from the mainstream feminists. (i.e the ones in the media). If they are about equal rights they should identify as egalitarians. Feminism now is about special privileges for women. As a female going into a male dominated industry you get special privileges (Higher chance of interview and job) the same doesn't apply to a male going into a female dominated industry.
