Whoosh, point flew right over your head there didn't it?
Stop being condescending. I answered your point with an allegorical one. You alleged in terms of simplicity that different perspectives are only a good thing:

Different perspectives result in greater variety and that can only be a good thing
Using an allegory I showed that when you focus on an point of the colour i.e. the point of any ideological spectrum, you lose sight of the whole in minute arguments based upon a narrow focus on one colour (which I put forth is a negative thing which disputes your notion of 'ONLY A GOOD' thing). In laymans terms, when we look at the colour of the light shining in the prism, we could discern two colours much like male or female, then arguing over both 'colours' or ideas and forgetting we are both parts of the whole, i.e. human beings.

Now do you understand?

within the context of the actual discussion being had.

Didn't bother quoting the rest of your post as it doesn't relate to the subject of the thread and is obtuse

But it does relate, you are saying that different perspectives are only a good thing, i.e. you want to focus on the light split into different colours i.e. rich vs poor, man vs woman (i.e. this thread, which is why it IS RELEVANT), 3rd world vs 1st world, black vs white. You say that all these are good things, I argue they are not because when you focus on the 'colour' which is an allegory for any point of a spectrum such as the difference between male and female authors which is the topic of this thread we instantly cause DIVISION, which creates argument, which is not a good thing. The moment you even think that diverse perspectives = good you forget that to be diverse you must differentiate and separate human beings into labels and boxes, is that a good thing?

If you think it obtuse, ask for an explanation. I am more than happy to have dialogue and to help people.

(Human Beings) --------------(Life)-----------(genders, races, political ideologies, rich/poor etc)
(The Light Being Shone)--------(Prism)---------(Different colours reflected through the prism)

I argue the left of this is the part we should focus on, that when we stop looking at authors and devs in terms of their human qualities but the actual quality and content of their work then we are approaching things from a 'good' perspective. You are, unless I am mistaken (which I can admit to, we all make mistakes) trying to argue the fractioning of the whole, i.e the right part into many arguing and divisive groups, which can cause arguments and even fighting, like we are doing is and I quote you:

I'm 100% confident you're a super smart guy, Icarus. Unfortunately, you fall into that same category of genius who never realize how dumb they are always trying to interact using their "smartiepant speech" instead of assimilating to the level of whom they are conversing. In other words... speak American instead of PHD, will ya? :geek:

What Icarus is trying to utter for his next doctoral dissertation is... to point out difference between two things is bad.

What lemondude said (and quite clearly I thought) is when multiple things can somehow unite for a common cause, you know the old "melting pot/USA/unitedwestanddevidedwefall" chestnut, it's good.

In the grand scheme... you are BOTH right. So go have a beer together, guys! :)

Oh!? Simplified rather than Traditional! My bad. Okay basically if we focus on things that divide us like gender or other shit like that we forget we're all human beings, that's the important thing, not the seperate things that divide us, that causes bad shit like arguments and fighting and all that, not a good thing.

Why not the other way around? Assimilate to my level dangnammit!

Me go now, bash rocks with club. :giggle:

(I'm joking and this is not intended to offend anyone)

I think the best male and female writers are on about the same level and they can write all kinds of characters. The bottom is likely a bit lower for the worst male writers in porn games and VNs for a couple of reasons, an important one is that a lot of the worst female writers are active in fanfics and erotica instead of porn. That said, Dominate Them All is a good example of a pretty bad game by a female writer.

I know, right? I kept thinking that they're both saying making the same point like they both went up for a high-five but somehow managed to miss each other in the middle. Having different perspectives, the argument by lemonfreak, means better representation of all the colors and not having one color dominate, which gets us closer to that white light that Icarus Media (the non-comedian version) was arguing for because white light is a combination of all the colors. Let me hop on board that train too because i'm for more diversity both in the people making the games and the games being made.

Smh, this is the internet. We're here to have endless arguments that could just be summarised as 'some thing about it are good, and other things are bad'. Get out of here with your optimistic nuance!

Stop writing like me :mad:

Now, on the thread's subject, it's always good to see female wrters, artists or devs. A different perspective is always welcome. Hell, the first NSFW game I played, a GAY GAME, was made by a woman. And I didn't knew until one year ago.
