Rape does occur to a few characters in New Vegas, but I never felt that they engaged with it in a crass manner.
But what the fuck would I know?
I object to the fact that one of the two rape victims in the game is also one of the three named lesbian characters. Especially since the other two don't exactly get the light treatment either. Frigging Father Elijah...
But yes, ignoring the greater context, that specific sidequest was sympathetic, if a bit simplistic.
Whoever said that vegetarian food is disgusting has never tried a lentil cottage pie.
Not vegan because there's hella butter and milk in that, but close enough.
-gives Tools a silver star-
This reminds me of my mixed feelings on making a semi-vegetarian (or more so, vegan) diet for myself. One day.
Also, anyone here have thoughts on Jim Sterling?
I think his persona is amusing but I wish he'd do more stuff out-of-character.
He's a guy who is generally pretty reasonable and can illustrate his reasoning well (even if he does take twice as long to make his points as... pretty much any other Internet commentator), but he's kind of a one trick pony most of the time.

That is, his videos are about ethics in marketing like 90% of the time, which is okay because, you know, thoroughness but still means that a lot of his videos are redundant. Otherwise he generally doesn't strike me as significantly more informed than the average gamer, just more articulate, but he has his niche and he fills it well.

The pleasure of knowing that people tried and failed to pick it up it is evidently worth more than the 72 cents plus the cost of superglue to whoever the culprit was.
And what flabbergasts me is that people were calling him an SJW at one point
I mean he's not regressive but he certainly isn't an SJW, definitely not compared to his peers (except TotalBiscuit, but fuck that guy)
The fact that GamerGate roundly rejects him even though he's someone who talks about ethical problems in game coverage super fucking often is one of the more obvious blows against its credibility aside from, yknow, the terrorism

I know but it's still baffling to see the term applied to him considering he holds a handful of views in common with the GG crowd.
I think the thing is that GamerGate is all or nothing. Either you believe that the feminist illuminati are conspiring to kill gaming or you're One Of Them and therefore The Enemy.
I actually have a friend who's really anti-feminist/deep into gamergate shit and I'm not sure how to tell him that his new movement is completely terrible. And it's upsetting me.

that is ultimately up to you
personally I don't consider people like that worth hanging around, but, it's not my friend.
Uuuurrrggggghhhh, he goes as far as to dismiss accredited academic research as "SJW bullshit" and it's depressing to see him fall into this trap.
I dunno. He's in a very bad place mentally right now - I have good reason to think this way about him, but I can't tell you guys why without violating his privacy. He just seems so lost and I guess the reason I empathize with him is that he reminds me of me to an extent.

I'm gonna hope that I heard that wrong, you don't say that.
Well, except for the Powerpuff Girls.

idk though, i'm a little hazy on the early history of the movement besides the stuff about Quinn
so just saying how bad it is won't magically win him over
