Time to tackle the Borderlands 2 girlfriend mode debacle

[Othello]

Fixed for you.

Thx! Knew I was missing something

TBH I am sick of the world getting their panties in a twist due to some idiot saying the wrong thing. FFS most ppl say the wrong thing every bloody day. This over reaction is dragging us backwards not forwards.

Seriously is there nothing else to discuss than the fact that a guy used the words girlfriend mode to describe something - yes the wrong thing but ffs its not the bloody end of the world. All these people are managing to do is make a bad situation worse. We all need to learn to be more tolerant towards other people.

No offence to other people on this forum, but really? This kind of reaction is why they go on and do this kind of thing. You might say we need to stop it - so shut up about it and it will stop. The over reaction of people on all these kind of issues is what fuels this and makes it worse.

TBH if everyone could learn to relax, maybe every second word out of peoples mouths wont be called sexist or racist.

Because it is easy

Or, hey! Maybe if people didn't always try to be such apologists about things like this, people wouldn't be making such a big fuss over it? The fact that some people want to brush off issues like these or claim that there isn't an issue in the first place, that's the big issue here.

Every time something like this crops up you get people who want to go 'hur durrrrr no big deal,' when in fact it is a pretty big deal. If in the 21st century you still don't see any issue with casual sexism, or casual racism for that matter, then you seriously need to get a reality check.

So one woman says its an huge world ending issue and we should just accept it, now we have another woman who feels that it maybe isn't such a huge deal but she needs a reality check because......?

[Wyvern]

Graal, then does that mean that we should stop all magazines, movies, tv shows, and any other media that presents any of your above criticisms? Because you are the one that needs a reality check.

We as a society have gone through this over and over and over again. And really if people would stop shouting so loud about PC comments and things, we would get along better, there would be no need. People need to become more rational. Over reactions and yelling at the top of your lungs won't get a message heard. And seriously why does it always have to come down to an issue like that?

We are all allowed to have our own opinions and reasoning. Mine is simply that rational people would not get so upset nor over react every time.

What makes it a "girl's game"?

Pink pony or non destructive things or making a family/babies in a non sexual perverted way(read Sims or playing with dolls like being a mommy).

edit
What i wanted to get at is in modern society i think girls gamers are probably a lot more but they wont come out and announce it. Where guys would much easier come out and say they are a gamer or are working for a gaming company.

You're the only person who keeps saying that.

Well studies that include casual gaming, girl gamers make up a very significant portion, something like 47% iirc. I don't know what the stats would be if they excluded stuff like facebook games.

Agreed, people need to stop being so over sensitive about everything and reading deeper meanings into things that arent there.
