[edit] Fascinating

Following around your edits, I'm totally fascinated. You're completely obsessed with perceived exploitation and negative portrayals of fictional female characters, especially lesbian exploitation. Why? Also, you were snarky to me on my talk page, so I replied in due snark, and then further lowered myself with another note on your talk page, and your response was very impressive and humbling. Then you suddenly add a very cryptic line to your user page and blank your talk page. I'm riveted. -- AvatarMN 10:05, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Well, I admire your concern. But I notice you're directing it mostly at fiction instead of reality, with a curious interest in girl-on-girl behavior. I wonder what that means. I can't tell if you like lesbians or not, your opposition to identifying Poison Ivy as bisexual is curious. I also wonder if you're qualified. You're male, so lack an certain intimate conenction to the subject matter that would be an advantage; and you're very young, so lack the experience that leads to insight and understanding, too. My edits will show a lot of subjects that touch on LGBT related content, but I'm a 32-year-old LGBT person who keeps abreast of the issues with a lot of reading and such, so I pretty much know what I'm talking about. Another thing you're doing wrong is coming at it from a very emotional, unsubstantiated angle; I can tell you right now that your new "portrayal of women in video games" article is not going to survive long. It's nothing but opinion and original research. It's contentious stuff that you're going to have to back up with the sources, and I wonder if you really know enough about it. For example, you argued that Storm's eyes have not always been blue, which is completely false. Do you often put in content that you don't actually know is fact? Misogyny is the main focus of your interests in editing Wikipedia, and you didn't know how it was spelled. Do you really think you're ready for this? -- AvatarMN 20:06, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

You're focussing on my credibility instead of what I've written, which goes against the basic principle of this site. This isn't the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit as long as they have no opinions. Another misdirected focus is being put on the fact that the content of the article I just started isn't up to standard. To say that an article whose subject matter has importance (and precedent in the form of the analogous comics article) shouldn't exist because of its current state is ridiculous.

No, I have addressed several specific things you've written, though I then went on to speculate on your credibility/ability and motivation, using them as examples. Maybe that's out of line, I don't know. And despite my efforts to help, the portrayal of women in video games article is going down in flames on it's AFD, as I predicted. -- AvatarMN 04:02, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
