I have no real response, so I shall stomp out in mock outrage as if that's what I meant to do anyway
Stay classy, champ.

Yes, that's exactly what happened here.
Idiot.

Then why not actually make the effort to address some of the things I actually raised?
For example, why do you assume all women automatically must care deeply about 'tit size as depicted in a work of fiction'? And why is anyone who does not assume that apparently a massive overbearing misogynist?
Or why not address the fact that they're fucking combat NUNS, ffs? That one could be fun.
Seriously though, if every woman you've ever met has gone "OMG BECKY, LOOK AT THEM TITTIES!" *huffs off in disgust*, then you have met an incredibly small subset of the entire female population of this planet.
I mean, the whole IM RITE AND UR RONG/NO U/FUCK U IM OUTTA HERE thing is your bag, I know, but would it hurt to actually make an effort once in a while? I'm open to reasonable discussion. I mean, say..provide an example beyond "this giant armoured woman has giant armoured tits, therefore the entire fucking enterprise is unremittingly sexist (in my opinion)". That'd be a good start.

There's still plenty of room in the sexism thread.

Yeah, I was pretty satisfied with the game too. It's unfortunate that the multiplayer component was effectively hamstrung by lag and balance issues, or I imagine it could have been pretty successful. Any word of a possible sequel?

Unless Jason Rubin reverses the decision made by previous management, a sequel ain't happening.

Space Marine was a fun, one time play through, but I pretty much uninstalled it afterward. The setting was pretty well done, but the actual game play was kind of sparse. I remember looking at the 'combos' display and thinking "WTF is the point of this? It's hit A, 1 to 3 times, then hit B. That's it".
Came with a free copy of Darksiders as a pre-order bonus, which didn't help. Generally it's a bad idea to give a better game as a pre-order bonus. Space Marine only had it's combat and it's setting....and it's combat was kind of shallow.
Had they just slapped a Space Marine skin on War and a level pack on Darksiders and called it a day, might've improved the game a bit.
As for the rest of the discussion.....well, Torpedo Tits are the least of that world's sexism. It's got a literal god, who runs the empire with his literal sons. No daughters though. And the combat nuns only exist because the church wasn't allowed to have men fighting, else they'd have them instead.......no exactly women's lib here. But then, I suppose you get right down to it, that universe pretty much sucks for everybody in it, so why should women be any different?

Where did I say that? Oh, hey, wait, I didn't. What I
said was that I'd feel embarassed showing 40k to my female friends. That you automatically assume
that's sexist is... I don't know man, what the fuck?

This isn't relevant to the discussion. You keep doing this, going off on tangents, then you wonder why I ignore them. I ignore them because I'm not going to let you suck me into a red herring vortex.

You're so completely off the mark and missing the point, I'm not sure what I could possibly say to get you on the same page here. Obviously not every woman I know is going to react that way (maybe one or two) but you're making so many huge assumptions -- about me, about women, about the women I hang out with, whatever. A lot of women don't care about the occasional eyecandy, true. But a lot do, so
deal with it.

God dammit you're doing it again. Your entire post is filled with nothing but cartoonish misinterpretations of what I'm actually saying -- this is why I stormed off because the reality is
the opposite of what you said. You're not even
trying to engage in reasonable discussion! You're accusing me of insisting that I'm right and not listening to others, when frankly all your posts are THAT'S NOT HOW WOMEN ARE I KNOW HOW THEY ARE YOU'RE WRONG, BTW IRRELEVANT SHIT ABOUT MINIATURES AND COMBAT NUNS. So you'll excuse me if I feel like trying to explain things to you is pointless.

Dragged back in.
Don't.
Chill out.
Read the Bible or something.
