Went to chuck an empty stock bottle today, yelled KOBE as I shot it, bounced off the edge of the trashcan and hit my boss.


You're in Colorado, right?

So a new game coming out, with a very diverse cast of female characters. One character has one optional pose that is "too sexy" or something, and has to be removed because PC Principal.

I'm all about diversity, I hate it when all characters in a game fall into the young and pretty category. But isn't "sexy" something someone can be? Should something that's sexy be removed to promote diversity? Does removing options make the game more inclusive?

Here's the overly offensive pose that has to be removed. Have napkins ready.

Also note, that that pose is only so blatantly offensive with a specific costume as well.

Others are less revealing, like

Well, that's not really expanding rather than just repeating, and I'm still not sure what either of you are referring to.

You've voiced opinions over the years favoring "removing options" across several subjects. A bakery that chooses which clients it will cater? No, you weren't in favor of that--"remove that option" was your message. A state's right (there are 50 of them) to choose its own laws governing marriage? No, you weren't in favor of that either--we couldn't have all those "options"--there was only ONE correct choice according to you. A health plan with an opt-out for organizations that had a religious background? No, according to you we couldn't have that either--EVERY healthplan had to include contraception coverage (even if such coverage was inconsistent with their religions beliefs) or you simply couldn't support it.

I could go on, but you have a history of supporting a "one-choice" environment--that game seems to have taken a step consistent with the opinion you have voiced previously.

Good point, being against people allowing less options means I want less options. Offering less options is actually offering MORE options.

Never thought of it that way.

We should have the OPTION to not allow blacks to vote, that way we can increase diversity.

So do you think ISIS is doing a good job in the Middle East at opening up options and diversity?
