Vox Day: I don't put women in video games.

[The Right Honourable Mlle Antéchrist]

I don't particularly care what Vox does with his games being that I'm not terribly inclined to purchase anything that has his name on it, but when he decides to whinge about historical accuracy and then goes on to mention that he's including orcs and trolls in the game, I reserve the right to point and laugh.

[lord gibbon]

Apparently, this guy has never heard of Boudicca.  Or Princess Pingyang.  Or Nzinga Mbande.  Or Isabella of Castile.  Or any number of other warrior women.

And Tomoe Gozen, and Running Eagle...

Our son was in MENSA.  He dropped out because, he said, the members were self-centered oafs and semi-literate.

I would be really interested in seeing a game by Vox - what is the bet that the graphics are extremely homo-erotic.

This is basically my opinion of MENSA. Everyone I've ever known who's gotten into MENSA (which, to be fair, is a sample of about 3 people) has been an arrogant snotface who uses their test scores as a facade to cover up the fact that they haven't been as successful or brilliant as they expect themselves to be.

Once you get beyond a certain point intelligence has a lot less to do with success than personal drive and motivation do... and that point is well below MENSA levels.

We could, of course, throw out historical verisimilitude. But we’re not going to. Because we value that verisimilitude far more than we value the opinion of a few whiny women who don’t play the sort of games we make anyhow.

Because nothing says "historical verisimilitude" like gladiator orcs.

Actually, historically female gladiators were a thing. In Rome "barbarian" female warriors fetched a good price and brought in a large number of crowds. But then again, I don't expect someone whose stupid enough to erase 50% of their potential consumers to be intelligent enough to know a little history.

Beale The Eel apparently comes from an alternate universe where Tomb Raider & Metroid were obscure crappy games that bombed.

STOP THROWING FACTS IN MY FACE!

[Cataclysm]

Trolls and Goblins but no women huh?

Ironbite-oh look I think Vox has jumped the shark.

I'm pretty sure he jumped the shark when he said women getting jobs was worse than rape.

Or maybe he jumped the shark right before he started blogging.

[The Right Honourable Mlle Antéchrist]

Dude, when Vox Day was born, he shot out the hospital window and over an entire tank of sharks.

[Damen]

Yeah, Vox, we all know women have never, ever once ever seen combat.

...oh, wait.

He jumped the shark when the obstetrician said "It's a boy!".

He was conceived when a shark handler accidentally shot himself through the balls with a spear gun and hit a woman on the other side of the tank in the uterus.
