So basically you choose to ignore any video that shows how terrible feminists actually are. Well done for having biased and selective options / beliefs.

I said if you really want me to watch it I will, just say so, I just would prefer not to. EDIT: I'll also just take the opportunity to say though that there are bad feminists and people who are sexist against men under the pretense of feminism. Bad people are in all groups and this isn't unique to feminism. I am sure you would not appreciate being compared to school shooters and people who stay in their parent's basement 24/7 simply because you play video games.

" lpcoduti wrote: Honestly, this thread from reddit today says it all http://www.reddit.com/r/GirlGamers/comments/1q6ry3/have_any_of_you_ladies_ever_been_excited_to_play/?sort=top The topic is basically "games that were very exciting, but so off-putting from the sexism that you had to stop." POE is the most upvoted. To add my own 2 cents, I really like POE, and I'd love to play it with my wife. She's tried, but being FORCED to look at 2 sexualized slave girls chained to her health and mana bar makes her feel uncomfortable. I can't blame her. Is this necessary? Could there not be an option for an alternate UI for people who are uncomfortable with the girls? It would be a very small thing, and it would be a clear message from the devs saying "Yes women, we care about you too, and want your business." I shudder to think of the money we've spent on LoL, so I sincerely doubt it would be any different for PoE. It is obvious from this thread my wife and I are not the exception. Why say no to more people wanting to spend money on this game? Kind words are really not enough at this point. "We don't mean any offense, this is just style, it's OK" will not bring women and couples back. Only action, and obvious action specifically aimed at rectifying some of the wrongs, will even have a chance at bringing people like us back to this game. Unfortunately your wife is just fickle, really really fickle. Seriously if that offends her...	Posted by Mordread#1431 on Nov 9, 2013, 1:10:58 AM Quote this Post

The volume isn't the issue, it's that the video is basically a crowd yelling over each other. Also look at my last post's edit.	Posted by Bunnu#1083 on Nov 9, 2013, 1:11:42 AM Quote this Post
Then theres the 'False Accusation Epidemic': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvBt7Ry16uM " On the increasing prevalence of false accusations made by women against men in the areas of rape, domestic violence and child sexual abuse. Looks at the tragic consequences for men as their lives are destroyed by lying women, with many even driven to suicide by the false allegations. This film is part of a Bitesize series of short clips that looks at individual elements of Feminism, Equality and Misandry in society.

Going to drop the ten ton brick of enlightenment on this festering cesspool of a thread. The truth is quite simple really. People are assholes. Some are bigger assholes. When you evaluate a group as a whole you notice the biggest assholes make the biggest stink and they are the ones you remember. But the crazy assholes are always the minority, regardless of which group you're looking at, be it white city boys, country folk, atheists, christians, jews, fememists, satan worshipers or what have you. A group is always 80% normal people 15% crazy people and 5% bat shit fucking insane wackjobs who should be forcibly purged from this earth. So please can it. Oh, and on topic. It's probably better to quit because of your naked health and mana orb wenches then get to the giant piles of corpses and titty bitches in act 3.
