Diversity in video games and whatnot

If there's a reason for a melting pot of races why not have diversity? If it's mindless pandering to Anita and the rest of the feminists it can go and fuck off.

And its no less false of a a statement. Aunt Meredith playing Candy Crush on her phone while waiting in line at walmart should not be put in the same "gamer catagory" as some one who plays something like Crusader Kings or Fallout 2. If you can't see the difference between the two you may have some unfortunate mental complications.

With this logic frogs and aligators are both the same animal cause they're both green and live in/near water

The dumb statement of... "Angry Birds and other simple physics games are actually still video games?"

You said "Angry Birds is like Mario"
Thus, saying that they have the same relevance in gaming, same level of design, same commercial focus, etcetera. Mario is not a simple physics game becouse they didn't purchase a physics engine and go swim in money for a while.
Now, about the subject you just brought up. Barely games, the physic-based genre is like Saturday Morning cartoon movies. Sure, Scoobie-Doo and the Ghost Pirates is a movie. But it will slip into the sands of time, leaving no mark and unremembered. Or you can just say it's shit (although I saw it yesterday for the 30th time, so it wasn't a good example :P)

That would be Angry Birds is EXACTLY like Mario. It's like Mario in many ways, though, not the least being that "gaming" is no longer the province of a bunch of nerds with consoles or high end computers but is something the entire world enjoys.

Nah man the audience and level of craft for something like Scooby Doo and the Ghost Pirates is the exact same as say Bladerunner or American Psycho. Thus those later two tyles of film need to conform more to the Scooby Doo audience because its all the same. ;^)

If you loosen the hell out of the definition of gaming sure. I guess my 8 year cousin is just as much of a gamer cause he plays Angry Birds on his mom's phone is just as much of a "gamer" as everyone here and the entire medium needs to shift to hisband people like him's taste.
Say, Is everyone who watches say lowest common denomonator shlock like the super hero movies now get to be grouped with genuine film enthusiasts and change the entire medium to suit the tastes of people who dont even watch them?

No?
Then forcing in more chicks and random minorities into games that the majority of the suppossed "growing female gamer audience" wont ever play. Some 43 mom isnt going to play anything beyond IOS apps so why is diversiity pushed onto a prodominantly White Male hobby in a predominantly White country in a White, Western culture?

Scooby Doo though. But yeah
 
Guys can I be the one to point out that Scooby Doo and the Ghost Pirates is actually a top film and is far better than Citizen Kane, The Shawshank Redemption, and The Lobster. If you think it's "unintelligent" your taste in films is way too pretentious.

Whoa, another classic zinger from BelowBudgetBary.

Wow another "substitute words into my name" joke. Never seen that before. Maybe next time when you're criticising me check if the same criticism can apply to you, because the only thing you spew out onto this forum are racist statements, insults and "zingers".

So Nintendo invented casual gaming. I think you are 30 years late :P
