As a aging gamer who has limited time and many other priorities, I still can get into these Batman games. I don't have time for mediocre games, and these games have been great. I hope this game is just as good. It looks about the same but I will take it. Yeah for my opinion!

Thanks for sharing the story Eddie Makuch. It just goes to show that when two people sit and sensibly reason, that they can create understanding and tear down the emotional and irrational prejudices that litter our world today. (see discussion, on any comment thread anywhere)

To whether we should respect others as people to be valued, respected, and loved; yes without a question. Whether we can disagree on a person's gender: yes also. I can't imagine what it is like to be born with the physical body of a male, but consider themselves female. Yet, can it be so surprising that people have a hard time understanding this? If someone is trying to identify the gender of a person, animal, etc, and we can't ask them how they see themselves, do we not use their physical characteristics to identify this? Not an easy subject, but don't demonize those who think we are born with a gender and that's that. Again, it can't be easy to be "transgender" and everyone has value and deserves love. (and lets not use Japan's value as a measure of how we progressed, there is no better country than US, but status subject to change)
