I read an article on an anime website which was about women in anime. I don't know whether the point of the article was to address the portrayal of women in anime/manga or address the issue of lack of female mangakas in the industry. I wrote about the irrelevence of needing more female mangakas because gender has nothing to do with the quality of the content. I've also mentioned few examples of "different" and "unique" women in shoujo mangas/animes. A female user posted something about women in a far-east country having master degrees and working as waitresses. I posted that gender has nothing to do with those women having a master degree and serving food because men in that country also have master and PHD and serve food and we have many of them here. Not having job oppertunities and discrimination against females are two different things. The user said she sent a sample of her work to a print house and they turned her down because she was female. She's from Texas btw so I don't know if these things really happen over there. I told her that the print house is owned by people and not the gov. therefore the gov. can't do anything about her being disciminated against because of her gender. Another user jumped out of the blue and told me that the country has one of the best anti-discrimination systems on the face of earth. I told her that this only applies on companies which are owned by the gov. and not companies which are owned by people. I told her that the number of companies which are owned by people where she is is larger than the number of companies which are owned by the gov. because of the economical system and the only condition where the gov. is involved in a private companies' appointment policy is when those companies hire forigeners and use public property. Another user said that the gov. punishes people who violate civil rights and among them is the principle of EEO. I told her that proving that a company violated civil laws is not the gov's job. It's the person's job to prove that he/she have were disciminated against by those companies and this scenario takes place in courts. So the gov. does not interfere in the way corporations hire people because those corporations are owned by people and not them. I also told them that personal freedom is a constitutional principle when EEO was mentioned in civil rights law and constitution is the supreme law of any country so people hiring other based on gender/race/religion etc. is a personal freedom as long as those corporations were owned by those people.

After I made many posts explaining why the gov. can't stop companies from disciminating against females and that some companies are run by sick people, users started calling me names. Ironically, the user who said that the country has one of the best anti-discimination systems on the face of earth called another user a European snob. Funny how the article highlighted the issue of showing women as dumb and clumsy creatures who all they wanna do is cook to satisfy men when the women behind those screen names are ignorant themselves. Maybe the reason why women in anime are dumb because those who watch them also lack in the knowledge department? Not really. So instead of barking about why aren't there more women in a certain industry when it doesn't matter and the way a certain medium shows women which you find offensive because of cultural difference, how about you learn about your country's economical foundation. Wouldn't it be better?

I need a break even though it's summer break but I have to study for two make up exams at the end of August. That makes my summer break a dummy summer break! A while ago I was telling my friend that I don't feel refreshed at all because I've just finished my summer course and I go an A! I only had English and hopefully this will help me raise my GPA. A reason I'm taking two make up exams is to raise my GPA because the higher the GPA is the better the job is. I also need a break from gamespot because just now, a guy was calling me disrespectful for posting this:

Yes I'm saying this because I'm mad at Square for choosing money over loyal stupid fans like me who bought a $600 console to play their game and mgs4 and because I have a point. Final Fantasy games stopped being great not when Tetsuya was made the art director no, but when Final Fantasy 12 was released. Here's why:

Final Fantasy 12, a game which got high scores across gaming boards didn't bring anything new to the table. How's that? FF12 borrowed the battle system from two old games which are Vagrant Story and Parasite Eve. As well as the battle system, the guy who designed the characters in Vagrant story didn't break a sweat while working on FF12 because characters look just the same but because this is running on a newer console and because Square are masters in polishing everything, the game looks totally different. In addition to the fact that nor the gameplay neither the art style are new, the story was bland and copied themes from Star wars games not to mention that entire scenes were stolen from knight of the old republic and the soundtrack was utter crap because it lacked catchy and memorable tunes and wasn't as good as previous Final Fantasy games soundtracks. Bottom line, if you play the game, it feels like you haven't played a game means the outcome is zero because it lacked charm. It's not a shooter that doesn't need an engaging type of story because it's meant to help people let off some steam no... since nothing is immersive about the gameplay, the story needed to be immersive if that makes any sense. Final Fantasy used to inspire animes and shows with its unique art style and design but now it looks like the guys at the art department are doing the same thing hence Square has nothing new to offer other than spin offs.
Here's a new challenge for Squareenix: Try to make a game set in present and doesn't suck instead of using the same setting over and over again. Also, your trick has become old. Many RPG comapnies are catching up to you because prefecting the battle system, elminating pointless features and having a jaw dropping presentation is not everything in a videogame.

E3:
I might have complained about the old days being better than the new days or crappy days before and I know users here hate me for it but believe me when I say that E3 was so much better before. I still have the page from the newspaper that covered E3 award show because most of the awards went for metal gear solid 1 back in 1998 and it doesn't seem like today's E3. I didn't see any confrences because I heard the three companies did bad. Sony is the winner to me here's why:
PS3 has the biggest number of exlusives.
PS3 also has worthy multiplats and most of them were designed on PS3 so expect them to look better on it,
Ps3 still has the best system and offers alot of advantages for developers more than other consoles.

360 has two exlusives and one of them is fable 2.
360 has multiplats which were originally stolen from sony.

wii doesn't have new titles other than remakes and no zelda or mario coming in the next two years or so.

Here's the deal. I'm getting a wii! Why? because as I said somewhere, games on current gen systems with the exlusion of the wii seem to be more about graphics than substance and I'm more into games on the wii. This doesn't mean I'm ditiching my Ps3 no... it's just that I'm tired of palying games with no substance and are more of the same and I really wanna try something new and different. I've never played a Fatal Frame game nor Animal Crossing so a wii is going to be my next gaming purchase hopefully.
