I think the difference with this site is that enough of us recognize that the world isn't black or white, but grey. It seems like most sites don't have the majority of people that think like that.

Trump insulted people from both sides. Because he may have mentioned a difference in the sexes does not mean that makes him sexist.

John Kerry wasn't in the running to become the DNC nominee.

That is correct, which is why Trump is just trying to get rid of illegal immigration.

Please tell me then, how is Donald Trump sexist?

*Edit to those who want to downvote me, please reconsider. I am asking a serious question, not trying to argue for no reason.

You can dislike a game, yet understand it enough to win. The same goes with our economy.

Yeah, and they compete for different jobs because the immigrants take jobs that otherwise would require higher pay to get workers to do.

Absolutely true. And the first-past-the-post voting system in America amplifies the us-vs-them mentality that has created political gridlock for nearly a decade now.

It looks like food prices would go up by about 16%[0], which I would be happy with if I knew that people were getting a fair wage for the labor. If there's a shortage of workers willing to work at such a low wage, then they need to raise wages.

>they were racist, sexist, or Islamophobic

This is a big issue here, and something that I don't feel that many democrats seem to understand. It wasn't a race issue, it was an immigration issue since many illegal immigrants have taken American jobs. It isn't sexist to acknowledge differences in the genders. It isn't islamophobic to see cultural issues with Islam that would cause integration issues, especially with a large influx of Islamic immigration.

Much of the issue here is because of lack of understanding of the perspective of the other side.

I feel that it's less about going to a 1950s ideal and more about giving more opportunities to the uneducated rural people who have been extremely hurt by globalism.

I feel that the breakdown of gender norms is not necessary, and many people in our country are trying to do so right now in the name of "equality."

However, that's just my opinion. If other people disagree and see potential in the market, then let them design that game and prove me wrong.

Please try to be a bit less condescending on this site. We try to be more professional here.

Video games aren't made out of thin air. There is an art and a science to video game creation that involves novelty, difficulty, and mastery. That takes a lot of planning and designing. Obviously that means that video games need to be designed BEFORE they're created. ;)

Honestly, I agree with the statement that games cater towards men more, but I like playing devil's advocate. I personally believe that psychological differences between men and women make men enjoy video games more, and it's not something that we should attempt to break down because of equality. There are differences between genders in every culture of the world. Instead of trying to blur the line between the genders, I feel we should embrace and celebrate those differences.

> I think we'd generally agree that those portrayals of women are problematic.

Why is it problematic if a game does this? Is it because it makes the game player sexist? If so, then it has the same argument that people make against violent video games in that it makes people violent, even though the data doesn't back that up.

Why is it that female devs would be required to make a game that women would like?

I am of the opinion that men and women are biologically different, and this leads to psychological differences that create social and cultural differences between the genders. However, unlike many, I don't believe that the differences between the genders are evil, and I don't believe that we should be breaking down all of those differences in the name of equality.

With that said, if you see potential in the market, by all means make a video game targeted towards everyone & get rich. That is your right.

I wish this were a joke. A tampon is unambiguously designed for women. Video games are designed for those who enjoy them.

The idea that games are made for guys is in itself sexist, is it not? They're just games, and you're free to interpret them however you'd like.

With the Bush v Gore election, nothing like it had happened before. Of course he wouldn't contest it beforehand. Now there has been a history of it happening. It definitely makes more sense to hesitate now.

You're right to ask for citation. Put simply, there is no definitive proof that the primary was rigged per se, but there were consistent differences between the exit polling & the voting results. Almost all of the differences were in Secretary Clinton's favor, and these discrepancies were not found in the Republican primaries, nor were they found in the '08 primaries.

The implication behind this article is that any sort of unrest would be completely Donald Trump's fault. But what people seem to forget is that Donald Trump has a reason for waiting to cede the presidency. Gore lost the election even though he got the popular vote. There were massive irregularities in the Democratic primaries, and the media has been biased and partisan, mostly in favor of Hillary Clinton, since the beginning.

I understand why some people are afraid of his hesitance. I hope they at least understand the reason he's doing so.

I tried thinking of a good argument against it because it seems unintuitive. From everything I see, women are ENCOURAGED to go into STEM fields. They are significantly more likely to be hired and promoted when compared to their male counterparts, and get all sorts of support and scholarships.

Are you suggesting there aren't any psychological differences between men and women? Because testosterone has been shown to cause people to be more competitive, assertive, and violent. That's a pretty good indicator of a difference in psychology. We are of course talking about trends here. There are of course individual exceptions to the norm.

That is a good point. I've tried to think of a good argument against this, but I haven't been able to come up with one. It's an odd statistic, since the ratio of women to men in college has been going up & women have been encouraged to go into STEM fields for a while now.

Forced? Women aren't forced to stay out of the tech industry right now.

So what if the differences in gender are because of educational and cultural reasons? There's always this assumption that all differences between genders are terrible, but I don't really see why this is the case.

Honestly, the only reason I see this being done is so the labor pool for tech workers can go up(and thus pay would go down).

Nothing is keeping women from going into tech right now. In fact, there are all sorts of incentives for them to go into tech and they're STILL not going. I think it's time to accept the fact that men and women are psychologically different in some ways. That's not a good or bad thing, it's just reality.
