Then you're a sexist, anti-feminist, ignorant fool. It's stunning that someone could actually speak of a woman like that. What hole did you crawl out of?

No, I would like to see evidence of these "ignorant blanket statements", as well as evidence of "uber psycho's femi-nazi's getting involved in the movement who openly admit to wanting all men dead". I have seen neither of these things. Unless you can provide clear evidence of instances where this has happened, then I will assume you are just lashing out based on unsubstantiated fears.

I don't know that a games crash is necessary, but there definitely needs to be a major overhaul in the industry for innovation. Half of what comes out now are remakes, and the other half are mediocre games which more or less just copy other games. Honestly, there is next to no fuckin reason for anyone to purchase a next generation console right now (Wii U MIGHT be the exception, cause at the very least there are about 3 or 4 top notch games, if those are the kind of games you're looking for). Everything on next gen machines is either remakes or games seeing last gen releases anyway. Maybe a year from now things will have picked up, but for now I'm boycotting purchase of a next gen system just out of basic common sense: there's barely anything good or special on them, so why the **** drop $400 for a piece of hardware that will only disappoint and collect dust and that I can probably get next year for a hundred bucks cheaper?

Yup

What "ignorant shit" have they said?

@elkoldo: from http://www.aglp.org/gap/1_history/#declassification

"The American Psychiatric Association (APA) removed homosexuality from its official Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) in 1973. This decision occurred in the context of momentous cultural changes brought on by the social protest movements of the 1950s to the 1970s: beginning with the African-American civil rights movement, then evolving on to the women's and gay rights movements.

Just as influential in the APA's decision were the research studies on homosexuality of the 1940's and 1950's. Alfred Kinsey's and colleagues' study on male and female sexuality marked the beginning of a cultural shift away from the view of homosexuality as pathology and toward viewing it as a normal variant of human sexuality. Kinsey had criticized scientists' tendency to represent homosexuals and heterosexuals as "inherently different types of individuals." Therefore, he introduced a 0 to 6 scale to classify sexual behavior or fantasy from "exclusively heterosexual" to "exclusively homosexual" (the "Kinsey Scale"). The "Kinsey Reports" found that 37% of males and 13% of females had at least some overt homosexual experience to the point of orgasm; furthermore, 10% of males were more or less exclusively homosexual and 8% of males were exclusively homosexual for at least three years between the ages of 16 and 55. This is where the frequently quoted "10%" figure comes from. 2-6% of women reported more or less exclusively homosexual experience or response. A more modest 4% of males and 1-3% of females had been exclusively homosexual after the onset of adolescence until the time of the interview."

"Males do not represent two discrete populations, heterosexual and homosexual. The world is not to be divided into sheep and goats. It is a fundamental of taxonomy that nature rarely deals with discrete categories... The living world is a continuum in each and every one of its aspects." (Kinsey, et al. 1948 Sexual Behavior in the Human Male(1948), p. 639).

So what does this all mean? Essentially that you can't draw a hard line between those who are homosexual and heterosexual; sexuality is a spectrum; homosexuality can not be classified as some sort of clearly identifiable psychological disorder, as homosexuality is an inherent function of all sexuality which the human conscious and subconscious explores at some point in every individual. In contrast, a person who is schizophrenic presents distinct behaviors which clearly classify them as differing from the regular population; homosexuality is nowhere near so clear, as all humans can exhibit behaviors at some point identifiable as homosexual in some way. Homosexuality is simply classified as a part of the vast spectrum of human sexuality at large.

The perfect combination of both. ;)

The entire psychological community disagrees with you on this, as scientific research and cultural awareness led to the removal of homosexuality from the DSM-IV, and subsequently led to the declassification of homosexuality as a mental illness.

So in short, no, it's not "as natural as any other mental illness", because it's not a mental illness at all.

Chillin like a villain

Sarcasm?
