I hear this. Although I don't have the added wrinkle of finding him sexy... There aren't really enough lols to go around for that.

But. Yeah. Duke Nukem has problems. Not only that, but it has the bigger problem of having problems that can't really be discussed because it's "a joke," and gamers as a whole are not the most feminist lot to begin with. I mean, I've lost track of the number of times I've seen a guy tentatively try to criticize DN's sexism, only to have dozens of other guys jump down his throat with, "It's just for fun, it's a parody, if you have a problem with it, you don't have balls, etc." It just doesn't go far enough as a parody to actually criticize what it's banking on as "funny."

I think DNF looks like it's going to have more problems than before, because the creators think they're covered by how even MORE metatextual it's become. Erm, no guys, that doesn't excuse it. Never mind the smacks on the ass - how about the fact that no guy I've talked to seems to understand the problem with the Duke coming out of "retirement" to rescue "our women." (They don't, or won't, accept the problem with the wording and think it shows that Duke is truly pro-woman because he values women or something.) I have a MAJOR problem with the way the trailer spliced sexual stuff in so quickly between violence that it borders on subliminal imagery - I pointed that out to one dude, and he was actually really disturbed because he HADN'T consciously noticed that, and he felt manipulated. I mean, what's with that?!

So yeah, I take some issue with, "it's a game, it's just for fun, enjoy it."

But. That being said. I've played DN when it was a little platformer and he had a magenta shirt on. I wince a bit when I hear people say there's no excuse for his games to even exist.

IT'S THE DUKE, MAN. YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND.
