Jonas, what specific stereotypes do you feel you need day to day interacting with people, beyond basic assumptions about people, regardless of sex, in your society? I don't expect the person behind a store counter to act differently depending on if they're a man or a woman. You can say, I guess, tha...

I refuse to read that giant post because you start it by saying you hate people for daring to be offended by things they find offensive. How DARE they not agree with you about how they should see the world! What, do they think they're independent people!? Good christ, man. Take a fucking step back a...

accept people as individuals based on their own merits. That's a description of a sensible adult. Advertising, I'd argue, is a big step away from sensible. I like and respect my female friends, does that make me a feminist though? What do you think when those female friends reject a typically femin...

I think we've already established that lots of us are similarly confused as to what you consider sexism, too, though. More later when I'm not running for a train. Participation in the patriarchy via spreading or believing stereotypes, encouraging or enforcing gender roles, or prejudging a sex based...

A list: You can stop it with the double posts. I'm sure you could have made your point within one post. This is an advertisement. Not a videogame. We already know the advertising industry is fucked in about a thousand different ways. Let's stay on the topic of videogames. Even with all of the above...

Soon it will be [an observed day we assume you do not care about] and [someone you're supposed to care about and respect] wants to observe it! Preorder [a videogame that we assume they distaste] and get $10 off [a worthless token for them to make yourself feel better as you insult them and your rela...

Earth Day is coming up and your Democrat lover wants you to keep all the lights in the house off to reduce energy usage. Preorder Oil Tycoon 3 and get $10 off a tree for them to hug.

Christmas is coming up and your religious family wants you to spend the holiday with them, but you'd rather play World of Warcraft, a pagan, mystical game that obviously no religious person would be interested in. Preorder Galaxy of Starcraft, play it alone, secluded from your family, and get $10 of...

Martin Luther King Day is coming up and your black friend wants to recognize the day, but you just want to play videogames, and violent videogames don't mesh with somber acknowledgement of the fight for civil rights and the only kind of people that care about them. Preorder Call of Duty 9 and get $1...

You put too much weight in labels. It's definitely an ad by assholes for assholes. You can decide for yourself if having an ad directed at men under the presumption that girls don't care about games, they care about flowers, so get your girlfriend some flowers so you can play your videogame is sexis...

So they're pitching their game exclusively at "gamers, who are men, who have girlfriends, and actually care enough about those girlfriends to buy them flowers -if they're discounted"? Gutsy! But don't care enough to actually put any effort into valentines besides "here's some flowers now fuck off w...

Mass Effect 2 is the game the developers always wanted to make, but due to lack of technology they were not able to do so. What? ME1 and 2 are both made on UE3, the same technology base. The difference between them is a on the level of design philosophy (and an extra dose of sexy alien waifu from t...

Also it is not possible to be both a designer and a writer at BioWare. The design department is split into 4 divisions: gameplay designers, level designers, cinematic designers, and story writers. So... that's a shame. "Cinematic designers" is its own department? Interesting. Also kinda odd that ga...

They're giving EDI a sexy robot body ("sexy" is their word, not mine, its the first adjective used in their design doc/artbook page/whatever it is that was leaked) and apparently at some point you overhear Joker asking Mordin robosex advice. Apparently EDI has a human body so she can serve "infiltra...
