Why is casual racism/sexism more accepted in video games than other forms of media (these days)?

Has no one played tomb raider before, Lara is the perfect example of a female who can become strong, smart and still seem feminine.

Dick Wolf has a boat at the Santa Barbara harbor named "Guilty", and he apparently has another boat named "Innocent". Rich people joeks.

It's strange to me too. But we're talking about praxis, man. (Sufjan Grafton), Thursday, 12 February 2015 23:24 (nine years ago) link

this is only tangentially related to gaming but it was a choice between this thread and the "serious discussion about MRA issues" thread and I have absolutely no desire to have a serious discussion about this

No you could take an afternoon, not know how to use a camera, no need for proper ISO, aperture, shutter, or even a fucking color balance, hell your footage could be completely over exposed or crushed in black to the point where the image can't be made out

the white balance changes from shot to shot in this ffs

he almost has some decent editing in the chase scene! unfortunately his split-screen stuff has the worst aspect ratio errors I've seen

yeah, it's amazing that he's gone to the effort of creating comic-book style panels and then completely failed to notice that he's painfully squishing and stretching the images within them

Thanks for sharing this. I am always fighting the urge to scream, "THIS IS NOT ART!!!!" when I'm at museums and this conceptual manure is proudly displayed. Like this thing in the Fred Meijer Art Gardens in Grand Rapids, MI. There's plenty of dubious modern "art" in that collection like this crap or this Henry Moore butt plug, but this is a fucking BOX.

What I respect about Warhol's work is that he pretty much copped to the fact what he did was kind of a scam as opposed to tarting it up as being some Really Grand Statement; the artifice was the art of it, but the viewer/buyer was expected to be bright enough to understand they're being played.

"this thing" = https://scontent-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/10273719_10152925164451164_354650544822388240_n.jpg?oh=a005d48ca6cb0961a7e32cfd06720bf8&oe=5555A9A5

"this crap" = https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/1959232_10152925165491164_9103495906582614225_n.jpg?oh=57d254ee98815b0098438b2f150e7abb&oe=558FF52C&__gda__=1435231100_2cddf131d3f46d58cf97aa542fd1a6ee

and, most alarmingly, "butt plug" = https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/10403665_10152925165121164_8943148509649009123_n.jpg?oh=8cddcf08099c0429697da6fb4bd974a1&oe=558CD475&__gda__=1431195658_4be44c0574732f959d96351e602c4dd8

this is the best conspiracy theory i've seen yet:

[–]link_maxwell 8 points 6 hours ago

I very much hate to say it, but welcome to "art". If your script focuses on sci-fi/fantasy themes, then it's already considered to be a "lesser" work than one which is more "realistic" and focuses on controversial topics.

You can blame good old O. Henry for this. He basically shat all over the concept of fantasy (and sci-fi) ever being as good as his own stories, and the critical world has mostly followed him ever since. Even in the SF/F ghetto, the major prizes tend to be won by those people who make the controversial/progressive stuff over the people who make enjoyable works.

Just in case anyone hasn't noticed, this post is a troll so GamerGhazi and SRD can link here. The video has the opposite of "proper ISO, aperture, shutter, or even a fucking color balance" and the "monster" is literally made of shit.
