LMAO. Its always hilarious when I read devs stating "I am a huge fan of Nintendo blah blah and some obtuse reason why they won't develop for the system".

The answer to most things is money.

I feel like this PC movement is almost regressive. People should be able to laugh about such things at this point. Was it a horrible part of history? Absolutely, but acting like it never happened or not being to find humor in making fun of nazi's/hitler is sad. Let's never talk about anything or joke ever again. That is what we're heading towards and it needs to stop.

That's what it's become though, it's become anti free speech in the name of not offending people.

Ironically that would be a step towards the national sozialists.

Nailed it on the head. We're oppressing our constitutional right to not offend certain people. I'm sick and tired of not being able to speak my mind without some overly sensitive person taking things too seriously. Lighten up. Make fun of horrible people. They deserve it.

Yes, the science is pretty much in on whether homosexuality is biologically driven, but not so much with transsexualism.

Yeah, you're really stretching with this one. To boys these toys are about action while the girls toy would be more about nurturing/motherly instincts. Which would likely explain why so few women play video games.

If a study is done in a scientific way, then there will not be any outside biases, that's why things like double blind studies take place. Studies when done properly they aren't an us vs. them thing, it just science.

I didn't make a claim every child played with dolls the same way, I said liking dolls is not dependent upon gender. Glad you don't care about politics. I am sure you are a major fan of the studies that generate the ">50% of games are female" statistics.

Except it is....

SCIENCE!!!

Those statistics include mobile games, those aren't gamers. Look at a picture of a gaming convention and you'll hardly see a female face in the crowd.

Trump is a snakes oil salesman

Trump is what happens when people get tired of the minority left wing social justice nuts.

I love the new tendency to blame Obama and/or Democrats for Trump's nomination.

"We didn't want to vote for this guy. They made us!"

You may be right if i was blaming Obama or the democrats.

But i am not. In fact i am not really blaming anyone, just saying that the PC culture and the ultra left wing nuts like SJW, people who complain over names etc. is why someone like Trump can come and catch ordinary people's vote. Because they are simply tired of the progressive and "everythingoffend" culture.

My point is that you're really stretching to call things dolls. I play video games because I like action and story, to compare that to a barbie is a stretch

In one source the guy was being sarcastic, the other source was a blog....and the blogs sources don't link to anything.

scientifically gathered statistics are the truth.

The idea that all statistics aren't worth studying just because a few are questionable is a case of throwing the baby out with the bath water. We can learn a lot from statistics, and ignoring them distorts what our views should be. Simple example. High percentages of refugees support sharia law, http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2015/12/07/muslims-and-islam-key-findings-in-the-u-s-and-around-the-world/ that's reason enough not to allow them in. We know this because we studied numbers.

Action figures are by definition dolls. From the wiki of the fox who coined the phrase:

The conventional marketing wisdom of the early 1960s was that boys would not play with dolls, thus the word "doll" was never used by Hasbro or anyone involved in the development or marketing of G.I. Joe. "Action figure" was the only acceptable term, and has since become the generic description for any poseable doll intended for boys. "America's movable fighting man" is a registered trademark of Hasbro, and was prominently displayed on every boxed figure package.

The only difference between dolls and action figures is branding specifically designed to address the "Dolls are for girls" insecurity. This is one of the reasons gender is such a silly concept. Things arbitrarily categorized as "feminine" must be given a "masculine" sounding name before it is acceptable for little boys to get excited about them. Their disposition doesn't change, only society's perception, and thus endorsement, of it.

And I didn't say statistics are not worth studying. They are however data points, not truth. A sound conclusion usually involves as many as possible, not one that lines up with your preexisting assumption. This is incredibly important in humanities, as data points often contradict each other, and are usually gathered to serve an agenda. Given your stance I am pretty sure I can illustrate this point nicely with just two words:

Feminist Statistics.

If I was having the same conversation with your liberal equivalent, I would need only go with the word Republican.

Yeah, you're really stretching with this one. To boys these toys are about action while the girls toy would be more about nurturing/motherly instincts. Which would likely explain why so few women play video games.

I don't think I could live without it at this point, but it has brought about some negative changes.

- A lot of jobs have been lost

- People are less connected than ever.

- It's given a platform to a lot of dumb people such as Anti-vaxers or the fat acceptance movement.

- I've seen the creation of hate sanctuaries like tumblr which produce and spread a lot of bigotry.
