Geoff Peterson posted:I'd like to submit the last few pages ITT as exhibit A in how a woman can clear the field of meaningful challengers in a primary, be projected for the largest electoral and popular margins in at least 20 years, and become the first woman president in the country's history... and not only receive zero credit, but have it be in spite of her. The idea that any and all criticisms of Hillary Clinton are due to her being a woman makes a joke out of real sexism. Also, maybe you haven't looked at the polls the last week or so. I REALLY hope that her hubris doesn't lead to a Trump presidency.

Real RPG question? How often do you play not as your own gender? I think it always can be interesting, like playing fallout 2 as a women and finding you occasionally cannot access parts of the game. Or being able to pursue a romance with Alistair in Dragon Age, and the friendship you can have with Lyanna just seems fun (alos I palyed my elf warrior as Buffy). Plus Femshep (who doesn't want the voice of Jennifer Hale)? Also for some reason I always felt Arcanum was best when playing as a female half elf mage fighter. Although outside an attempted female play through in fallout 2 I never have done female playthroughs of the others. (Fallout 1 because well I played fallout 2 first and the Manuel made it clear the vault dweller was a male). Finally I always play Kotor 2 as a women because even before it became canon (which now may not matter) it just seemed right to be a women for that role compared to my attempt to be some male character out of TOTJ. Also I'd rather we do RPG chat then replay the Democratic primary chat.

Mel Mudkiper posted:Tidus is white male selfishness personified Tidus is more like a case of a story where the fantasy is constructed as justified white male selfishness since he's the only one who eventually calls out the whole thing as self justifying bullshit. That'd be like if Trump was actually right about us needing a wall due to all Mexicans being rapists. I mean, last I checked humanity doesn't face a mass depopulation event every 10 or so years because of a bunch of wannabe gods being dicks and summoning up a monster that everyone has just started to referring to as "Sin" due to it basically scourging large areas of the planet clean of life and has a religion revolving around sacrificing people to appease it. Also, Final Fantasy has utterly batshit writing.

Crowsbeak posted:Real RPG question? How often do you play not as your own gender? In single player games I pretty much always play as a woman. It's usually a more interesting experience overall.male video game protagonists are way to often blunt muscle heaps and I don't identify with that at all. Of course, the female writing is often quite awful in other ways, so it's a wash.

ImpAtom posted:Okay. How did I not engage his arguments? I'm curious. He considers Hillary Clinton a poor candidate in part due to her high unfavorability ratings. Your responses centered largely around whether or not a voter choosing Trump due to an interest in the supreme court vacancy would be affected by a generally more favorable democrat. That's a fair question and obviously the answer is that it's not likely, but it ignores the general point that someone who is seen as more favorable is likely still superior. There is reason to believe that high favorability of presidential candidates increases voter turnout, for instance. In that case a more favorable candidate doesn't have to steal Trump voters, but would bring out extra voters for herself. Obviously we can't know what would have happened with any other candidate. There's a chance that once broader America got wind that Bernie Sanders is a big ole' S-word he would have been obliterated. There's a chance that Biden would have had tanked for some unexplainable reason. But there are plenty of reasons to believe that another candidate would have fared better. You may not find them convincing, but that doesn't make them irrational. If Hillary destroys Trump in the election, then that will be pretty convincing evidence that another candidate would not be significantly better, but if she only squeaks by (or god forbid, loses) then you have to face the facts. You cannot mutually believe that Trump is an awful candidate and that the candidate who barely beat or lost to him is a strong one. You would have to accept that all Democrats available were weak candidates, or that HRC was a weaker candidate than some alternatives. I prefer the latter.

Hmm... starting to see a strange pattern emerging. FIrst you had those militia fuckers in Kansas wanting to blow up apartment buildings full of immigrants then go around shooting the babies if they lived, and they turned out to be Trump supporters. Then we had that "Vote Trump" church burning in Mississippi. Now we have a racist Trump supporter in Iowa ambushing and murdering police. I'm starting to think some Trump supporters might be violent racists. Of couse the apologists like that Delbert dickhole and David "famous for being a KKK Grand Wizard" Duke are talking poo poo about false flags like nobody notices this poo poo: Monday: Someone should do something about these niggers. Tuesday: Someone should do something about these niggers. Wednesday: Someone should do something about these niggers. *Hate crime occurs* Thursday: Niggers probably did it. Friday: Someone should do something about these niggers.

Crowsbeak posted:Real RPG question? How often do you play not as your own gender? When the character isn't just an avatar of me I always play the female option, probably for variety and also because men tend to be portrayed as a weird power fantasy. When it is an avatar I mix it up a bit, although for example kotor 2 I like the handmaiden more than disciple so I roll male.
