Minus nothing. You evaluate your surroundings based on the available data. When the only data is visual data, then you evaluate based on that. If all you know about someone is that they have an apple-shaped ass, what are you supposed to do? Pretend you don’t have that particular piece of information?
If you get to know someone as a person and you still mentally file them away as some random broad with an apple-shaped ass, then you’re objectifying that person.
Just finished watching The Walking Dead game. Never felt so emotional when watching a video game before. That game really gets deep into the realistic side of a zombie apocalypse. Some of the characters I couldn’t stand though. I’ve started to hate Lily, but then she started to grow on me a bit and I started to hate her father Larry. Then soon I started to hate Kenny because he’s a grown ass man whining about the main character taking sides, and ultimately I hated Ben, because he was just fucking shit up left and right and gotten about five people killed. >:( The ending disappointed me, though.
What’s the name of that website that is the equivalent of google, but for images? You put the url for an image or upload it, and search results give you a list of websites that have that same image?
Tineye, and it sucks now. Google now does the same thing, but better. You can drag and drop an image into the search bar and it shows you better results than Tineye.
@Dramatix - I just finished episode 1 today, depending on weather or not I go out to eat tonight I’ll probably get through 2 tonight as well. Game seems like there is gonna be a good amount of replayability.
There is a particular strain of feminism which alleges that physical attraction itself is tantamount to objectification. I’m willing to consider a lot of different ideas, but this one is every bit as delusional as the anti-feminist idea of a Leave It To Beaver patriarchal paradise. It is fundamentally out of touch with the human mind.
I think this idea has seeped into other, less extreme varieties of feminist thought. It isn’t that a lot of feminists believe it on a lucid, reasoned level, but that some of them have not put enough care into differentiating it from their own way of thinking. For instance: that first knee-jerk reaction to label a guy a pervert for liking tits. Were they to check themselves on this, they might realize that A. liking tits is millions of years of natural programming at work, and B. neglecting to examine that initial assumption (and maybe even revise it!) is setting back any progress we might be making toward gender equality.
GoW’s combat is so damn boring that I couldn’t even bring myself to play through the Ghost of Sparta demo. I cannot stomach replaying GOWIII and I cannot replay GOWII at all. GOW A has the same high point GOWIII has: graphics and VAing. Boring at everything else.
