Portal is the most subversive game ever
I think it's a great review. Plus, I find it funny, all of it, even the comments. I honestly think that the journalist wrote it just to write something fresh and different. Not to mention the humor in an article touting of a high-ranking game's "hidden, subversive meaning" in a clear, intellectual and well thought out manner being place on such a site as this. No offense to the site (I'm an avid frequenter of its many salaciously hilarious features and pieces), but it's not the place you'd find an exposition given to women's liberation. It has links to collections of scantily clad sultry damsels, for God's sake. It's literally (In the Literary sense) ironic. I'm not saying it was done for just that sake, but I'd bet that was partially the intent. Yet, at the same time it was what it was, a piece written to illuminate a growing egalitarian perspective that's quietly stealing itself into a predominately and overtly adrenaline-filled, masculine, aggressive, and libidinous industry. But in the end, who gives a shit if it's written to support a feminist view or not? Even if it turns a stereotypical ovarian-freedom fighter to try gaming out or a 'roid frenzied manfreak into giving it up, if it's fun, it's fun, and someone's gonna wanna play it regardless if it's got a meaning to it or not, and worse yet, someone's gonna wanna do it naked. That's the world we live in. Also, your comments add to the amusement. Maybe mine will too, but the ones which reek of passionate rants of why it fails as a review because "hey-I'm-a-girl-and-don't-think-like-that" (which, by the way, is one view out of roughly 3,500,000,000 women) or "factually-you're-thesis-is-erroneous-in-such-and-such-way", your comments, I must say, are the best. You exude so much chagrin of unwarranted and inappropriate animosity in your writings it's absurd, but in a funny way. How have you been so wronged? And all for not. It is my great belief that your critical notes are the little snippets of joy these fine writers try best to bring forth. Their day isn't complete until they've pushed someone outta their comfort zone into a typing tiff. To the Writer, awesome work. Keep it up.
