League of Legends

[Vad]

This is disappointing. Like, three people were talking about a subject they find interesting and people all of a sudden get pissy about it? It wasn't even taking over the thread or anything. Good lord.

Part of taking taking games seriously as an artistic medium means looking at them with a critical eye towards their societal implications and representations. This isn't about trying to change society, Vad. I'm insulted that you think we're naive enough to have that goal in mind on a DBZ forum. It's about exploring the topic of sexism in something that hundreds of thousands of people are exposed to.

I implied you were naive and that wasn't my intention. I apologize. You can call it sexism, I'll call it marketing. Because of that I really have nothing more to say on the topic. My views side step everything mentioned in your discussion. Even though the post was worded like I was raging. I wasn't. Nor did I take into consideration the implications it might have had. (Suggesting people were naive). You're not.

Bottom line it really really annoys me when this kind of discussion is ignited over a video game. Combined with how I view society my resulting attitude towards a discussion like this is one of disgust.

Did that give me the right to get annoyed at you guys? No.

Forgive me. I forgot where I was. Among friends. Intelligent friends. Not random idiots on the internet.
