I may have just lost all nerd and humorist cred but it had to be done to celebrate my most successful bitmob article of all time. I may not make many more of these things as attempting to break into webcomics is currently dominating my attention but if a bunch of people could find it in their heart to remember my contribution to bitmob as being this rather then all of my crazy embarassing rants and failures i'd appreciate it. LOL"
Blazblue impresses the crap out of me with all the efforts it made to break the mold of fighting games and teach me to play. Sadly even it fell into the common trap of teaching basics, then dropping the player headfirst into the grind of combo memorization and execution with no framework or feedback to tell you why you are having so much trouble executing it's demanding tasks, and little to no in game reward for sticking out the process of learning them.
I look forward to any game that can give me a truely positive experience with the fighting Genre (that isn't super smash brothers) and would love to see you be the one to create it Tuan."
GRAAAAH!
So yeah....not a fan."
I personally like Yoshi's island the best out of any SNES game because of one reason: Accessibility. The game gives you a recharging timer count down to retrieve baby mario when you get hit instead of a life bar or a 1 or 2 hit death scheme. That allowed me to get into it and get better at it then pretty much any other SNES game while still having plenty of collectibles that turned 100 percenting each mission into a fun challenge.
It was just fun and forgiving enough for me to keep playing and get good at it while other games like zelda and castlevania were pissing me off enough for me to turn them off."

If you want to continue talking about the particular issues you were talking about feel free to write an article yourself as you have already pratically done so in the large amount of detail you put into your posts. You could even have a look around at the many other feminist articles that already exist on the site (some written by me.) That may be more relevant to the current thing you wish to discuss.
I'm not really saying bitmob has a strict one topic policy as much as i'm saying that this article has 72 comments and way too few of them are about the original topic at hand and way too many of them are me trying to talk about the discussion at hand and being bewildered at why people bring up other things LOL. It's gotten to the point where I and maybe 2 other people may be the only ones who have read every last one of these and so the discussion is only going to get more fractured and confusing the more we go off topic. This blocks people who might otherwise want to from weighing in on their opinion of the basic core issue of the post.
I also apologize to anyone who think's I've been posting too much and derailing things too much on the flip side. I tend to be a bit of a motor mouth (motor fingers?) myself when I get passionate about a specific issue or conversation."
Anywho to respond to you, spencer I'd have to say that is an attitude that will fade with time as people get used to female characters being a more active participant in all roles of games. Honestly we should all be feeling bad about beating up/killing people in general not just one gender or whatever so it's just a level of detachment and suspension of normal reactions to stimuli that comes with interacting with unreal scenarios."
