As a note, I believe it would be better if it was done a certain way but I don't begrudge the authors their right to do so. I just think it was to the deterrent of the work.<br /><br />As a note, re: Harley's pregnancy, that was revealed later.CTPhippshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04226189019351004118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876216494183628999.post-25018727257684939932012-09-22T14:40:59.793-07:002012-09-22T14:40:59.793-07:00I realize this is an old post, but I felt I had so...I realize this is an old post, but I felt I had something to say.<br /><br />You're quite opinionated and very convinced that there's some 'right' way to do things - namely YOUR way. <br />Not everyone sees things like this, though as you say, people are welcome to disagree.<br /><br />What I don't like, and will absolutely always object to is people trying to force their own views on others - which is sadly the case in many video games. People feel offended by something, and think that instead of avoiding it, the correct solution is to FORCE the developers of the game to change it - showing complete disregard for the views and choices of others who disagree with them.<br /><br />You make it sound like there have been far worse reviews of Arkham City in regards to sexism, which frankly makes me scared about the future of the world we live in.<br /><br />And on a side-note, Harley's pregancy test shown positive is one out of about two dozen scattered in a room. And the boxes in which the tests come are shown, showing the warning on the side that it sometimes gives a False Positive - which means that it could be just a fluke.Zennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876216494183628999.post-26521794404974239892011-10-30T11:05:03.641-07:002011-10-30T11:05:03.641-07:00Thanks for your thoughts, Bobbie.

But sexism in either doesn't bother me. I see it as a bit cartoonish and just good fun, a little like the bad joke in the room. We're not supposed to laugh but we do anyway. <br /><br />This is double sided. Most superheros look sexy in uniform--especially the men. I think the idea is too pull it all up a notch . . . add to the fantasy.Bobbie Metevierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06287239069473082448noreply@blogger.com
