Really? (Destiny)

I don't speak for Kermit, obv. But while there is a sexism problem in games and society in general, and it's clearly something that needs to be worked on by virtually everyone, including Bungie, they are a mild offender, as you say. Particularly in the grand scheme of things. And, while being "less sexist" doesn't mean you get a free pass from criticism, Avateur's post kind of implied it's worse than normal or even on par with industry standards. It's a clear troll attempt. As such, I'm not bothering here. I only bothered to read a few posts when I saw Kermit said something and you replied. To me, the post is a -1 also. It's because of intent, structure, and completely dumb content.

Coming from a reasonable poster who provides more than a single example of perceived sexism, there may be a discussion to be had on gender in Destiny's universe. Coming from this guy, and the response he provokes, I don't think so. Your defense of the post being better than ones he normally posts is similar to the defense of Destiny being less sexist than games normally are. It doesn't mean Destiny isn't still sexist, and it doesn't mean Avateur made a worthwhile post.
