106: Based on my experience of playing Western RPGs, I prefer playing as a male character because female characters get sucky writing by comparison. In Western RPGs you usually have a choice whether to play as male or female, and the writers seem to assume that most players will play as male, so there are more side stories for male characters than females. (Worst example being Baldur's Gate II, where a male PC has three choices of love interest, while a female PC has one. One! I like Anomen, which not a lot of BG2 fans do, but it would have been nice to have a choice.) And when I played Knights of the Old Republic as a female, I kept getting distracted by the ridiculous amount of sway they put into the female PC's walk. I don't walk like that in real life! No woman does, unless she's a catwalk model!

So I've gotten into the habit of playing as a male, just to avoid those pitfalls. It's annoying, but what can you do? (Notable exception: I've never had any problem with the Elder Scrolls games. As far as I can tell, Morrowind and Oblivion are genuinely gender-neutral.)

126: Torchwood is a very stupid show that does not make sense on most levels. That doesn't make you stupid for liking it; the fact that you can tell that it doesn't make sense proves that.

147: In case you haven't seen it: Condensed His Dark Materials (http://wrongquestions.blogspot.com/2005/07/his-dark-materials-by-philip-pullman.html).

My problem with Pullman's argument is that he both stacks the deck and moves the goalposts, if you'll forgive the mixed metaphor.

151: You are, of course, correct. Persuasion is her best novel, and I salute your excellent taste.

186: TV Tropes is awesome like that, isn't it? I would never have watched Simoun or Lucky*Star without it. I probably would have gotten around to watching Revolutionary Girl Utena eventually, but TV Tropes gave me that extra push. For which I am very grateful.
