Zo said: Straight people make gay jokes knowing that 95% of society has their back. There are no straight jokes*. This is my main problem with gay jokes. [size=100]*To my knowledge. There are probably straight jokes, but even gay comedians seem to spend most of their time taking the piss out of their own sexuality.[/size]

kjonez said: I said it before and I'll say it again, she has a great point but is presenting it wrong. Youtube is full of 10-19 year old males who are the worst demographic to present this topic to. I'm not saying those are the only people who watch youtube, but that is your average viewer. The internet itself is still a bad medium for this type of topic. and it doesn't even have to be a debate, it could be just a presentation and discussion. I would really like to see her talk with someone like Charlie Rose who is incredibly open minded and highly respected. He has had hunderds of guests of every type of person in this world. The viewers of that style of program are the ones who need to see this type of treatment to women characters in gaming and other forms of media, not the youth of America. If the older demographic becomes aware and is WELL INFORMED then you will see strides being taken to alter what she is talking about. Important issues like this brought up by the right people will have a tricle down effect and gain the psoitive attention it needs. I also still strongly believe she has to use the funds given to her in a much smarter way and not over produce youtube videos. Again, great idea and stance on the subject, very poor execution.
