I don't think Paul is a misogynist, at least no more so than many other people here. Paul jokes around or makes crude comments regarding virtually anyone of any gender, race, or creed. He's pretty equal opportunity when it comes to what he says, nothing and no one is spared.

Yep, creating an oppressive environment for women is okay! In fact it's so clever and witty because it transcends our meager concepts of sexism, racism, etc. by being so unrelentingly prevalent. Anyone who is concerned about it is therefore either a whiteknighting virgin, femanazi who can't find a boyfriend, or someone with a secret agenda against Phubans, all of which we're better off without! Good riddance.
Yes, because I was implying exactly that. [/sarcasm]

Since you want to be all dramatic about this and try to twist what I am saying into something you can go off on a tangent about, let me clarify. Phubans does not target women specifically in regards to his anger, humor, etc. it openly applies to anyone or anything he happens to be angry with, making fun of, annoyed with, etc. He is not a misogynist just because he has expressed negative views towards *some* women. Just like most any guy, there are some women he gets along with and some he don't.

Instead of a thread about what a woman-hating asshole Phubans is?

I have to wonder how you'd behave here if nearly everything you posted on virtually any topic on TIGS was dissected and used to demonize you. Phubans has his flaws, sure, but he's not a 24/7 asshole. There's more than a few of you that seem to thrive on hunting down his posts and taking jabs at him and then going "OMG! Look what an asshole he is!"

You want to talk about how unfair "oppressive environments" are yet you don't seem to see a problem with creating one for someone yourself. I mean other than Dragonmaw shit (and vice versa) what was it Phubans said in this topic that created the need for your little outburst? More importantly, what was it he said to you specifically? Oh that's right, nothing.

I don't try to make a habit of trying to defend Phubans, but sometimes this shit gets really ridiculous. Nobody here should be treated like the "whipping boy" of TIGS, not Phubans or anyone else.

This is one of the most kind and brave things that anyone has ever done for me here, or possibly anywhere. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

I want nothing other than this to be a positive community environment for everyone here, not just white males.

He definitely displays misogynistic tendencies. Whether you see it or not is not really important.

I never actually expected someone to immediately accuse me of being "someone with a secret agenda against Phubans" like I said. This isn't about him at all (even though I know he wants it to be). It's about his and others actions that make this an unpleasant place for women or other marginalized groups. I can't see how that can be viewed as something not worth defending.

I'm not as adamant as I once was that the explanation for women being underrepresented in games is purely social, but I still it'd be beneficial for all concerned to have more women making games.

If you go on a blind date with a female indie game designer, you have a 50% chance of ending with a dick in your a**
Lol'd heartily. Thank you, sir.

and the more games get made that aren't outright male wankfests
So celebrating things that appeal to men is mastabatory?

Leave the chans a while, clear your head.

Deconstructing this post:
-Saying women need to be represented more in games
-Laughing at a joke about transgendered people
-Telling me to get off 4chan

Why all the hate? I have a number of sources that would say I'm "okay".

Oh wait you're diverting attention away from my post by focusing on me.

Clever, you.

By observing that the majority of people are white males I've done what exactly?

Did you mean to argue that positive discrimination is discrimination too?

Is that actually what you meant? I think that's what you meant.
