FFX is also good, and is also on sale!

Truth.
Is it as good as the PSX original?

Hey GirlGAF, here’s some feminist/women related articles I’ve read lately or skimmed in some cases.
WIRED: This Is What Tech’s Ugly Gender Problem Really Looks Like
The Mary Sue: 5 Feminist Lessons Little Girls Can Learn from Gravity Falls and Mabel Pines
The Telegraph: 'Sexist' music videos should be age restricted, says report ***
PBS News Hour: How ‘Lehman Siblings’ might have stemmed the financial crisis
Julie Dillon's Tumblr: suggested Guardians of the Galaxy changes to make it less sexist
***I am genuinely curious on your thoughts (well, that's true for all articles, but if you only bother to address one, I'd like to know, it is among the shortest as well, referring to the starred music video article in case that's not clear) .

I noticed one of the reblogs on that post that actually commented on it said the first draft had been written by a woman, then a male writer got a hold of it and tacked on some of the very things complained about, hence why they seem tacked on. I'm not familiar with the production to know if that was true.
There was a topic here at GAF the other day that brought up the noticeably missing Gamora merchandise (with an example T-shirt that showed the other members like they were cards, even duplicating some of them when there's another member, her, that could easily fit).

The only Gamora complaint I had was that they underpowered her (well Drax too, but Gamora is arguably the bigger victim). Without revealing much, there's scenes where instead of doing what she's famous for (murdering people without so much as a blink), she...well, doesn't...and instead lets other characters take charge.
Still a good movie either way, but I never like it when characters get underpowered in movie adaptations, particularly Gamora (from what people have told me about her comic history).

I'm kinda glad I hate superhero comic books (and related movies/TV/etc), because that way I don't get as infuriated at the rampant sexism in them. I'm already weary of the shitty representation in other media, and superhero stuff is even worse.
yeah let me just point you in the right direction to finding more pictures of her
Watch Parks and Rec and Everwood!
I wanna put up one of his pieces in the living room but there are too many amazing pieces to choose from!
I really like SRPGs like Fire Emblem. And I used to like the old Digimon jRPGs when I was younger. I played the beginning of FFIII but it couldn't hold my interest for like more than ten minutes. <<I would strongly, strongly advise against that if you value your sanity.
Have you played (and enjoyed) a jRPG before? If so, you might like some FF games. The good ones are all pre-7. 7 itself is pretty good, but a bit overrated. 4-5-6 are better.
Haha, well, you're always so enthusiastic about it!

YOU SHH.
With our trusty help she'll have no problem getting into it.

FFIII = FFVI, the SNES one, right? That's the best one in the numbered series, with a great story and characters and soundtrack and fast-paced battles, if you didn't like that one I suggest you give up on the others.
If you somehow played FF3j, however, then uh... I don't know, I never played that one, but I think it's considered to be pretty bad? I could be mistaking it with FF2j though. >_> I'd suggest giving FF6 a shot, jRPGs rarely get any better.
Since you like SRPGs however, I can't recommend FFTactics enough. By far the best FF, and one of the best sRPGs ever made, with one of the best stories and soundtrack in gaming history. If you don't mind playing on a handheld, War of the Lions (with a fan-patch to remove the slowdown during spell animations -- not sure why they have that -_-, easy to patch using a PSP with custom firmware) is the definitive version, if not, the PS1 original is still amazing and available for PS3 on the PS store.
It was the FFIII remake on the original DS.
I had FFTactics from PSN Plus, but I got frustrated with the camera controls and then Kark stole my Vita and my PSN Plus thing expired.
It has a new translation (if you've played FF12 and liked the dialogue in that, you'll probably enjoy it), some pretty cutscenes (w/ voice acting if you get the English version), two new FF characters to recruit, two new classes, new quests, increased roster size...
It's pretty great and worth playing if you haven't played the original in awhile.
There is slow-down during some abilities/spells, but if you have a custom firmware PSP you can download a fan-made patch to fix it.

Aw. If you ever decide to try it again, you can tilt the battlefield (a little bit). I found that that helped a lot.

also, i used to know julie dillon :> she's a very talented artist .___.
Pau, oh yeah, that would be a difficult choice. Mucha made so many gorgeous pieces. I love that style very much.

:O
moon child was too glam for me to ;__; over
but i always ;__; when ahhnold terminator goes down into the lava pit in terminator 2
BUT TOSHI! ;___; His death hit me so hard. The joker shouldn't go out like that.
And then the end...
Gackt watching his daughter grow up from the sidelines after losing his wife and being turned into a vampire and then committing suicide with Hyde at the end with the photo burning...
Omg ;___;

Yup. My only sex-related problem is that they severely underpowered "The Most Dangerous Woman in the Universe." It was very disappointing.

Gravity Falls is amazing not only when it comes to representation of girls but it's in it's boy characters breaking free of traditional male gender roles.
I love Abba.
Well, only the last one talks about the movie.
I agree, Julie Dillon is very talented. I tried learning how to draw anime characters from her tutorials when they were still hosted on her own site. I've been following her work on and off for several years.
This is one of the pieces that really impressed me when I first found her.

aaah omg that is an old piece :>
she's grown leaps and bounds to be sure
oh, i will read the other links then! thank ye for sharing <3

1. I always figured that kind of shit was happening behind the scenes. I'm not really sure about what we can do to change things though. The people who actually do this shit are too powerful to touch, unless you fancy losing your job.
2. I don't have much to say as I haven;t seen that show, but that sounds great. To say there's a lack of good female characters in cartoons is a huge understatement.
3. I agree. Almost every type of entertainment we have has ratings, why should music be exempt?
4. I can't blame them for including that stuff in the movie. Comics have spent decades making it very clear that only guys are welcome, why wouldn't a comic book movie be the same?

In the reddit wife thread. She called a fellow member an asshole (it's right there on the page). The mods have repeatedly said you're not allowed to do that.
I can't imagine that was a perm; I'm sure she'll be back soon.

RIP Wazzy, we well see the good Sis soon.

I can't blame you for losing a bit of control in that thread though. Specially against that guy. Double specially after JDSN posted that old post of his. He totally skeeves me out.
Also, Dax, HAHAHAHAH great mug <3
