Hmm... Yeah, I feel bad for Jessica Chobot, me thinks she appeared in the wrong game at the wrong time.

I don't remember posting any rants against the Allers character from ME3.


I ranted against Allers many times.  I thought she was a waste of resources not because of "Allers" the character, but the unprofessional voice behind it (and I have nothing against Chobot), that I'm aware of and the question it concerned on Bioware's part for doing such a thing, when said resources could of gone into some Jack material, or Ashley for example.

All my dislike was because of the motive behind it.  Unless Bioware would state that she's had Voice Acting experience or has done material similar to this befoehand, then I'll be slightly less irritated.

Um, she said she hates playing video games. A lot of the objection to her is based on the perception of what she said instead of what she actually said. She's not a video game designers - she's a writer for a video game.

What does her position on playing video games do to make her a less successful writer? She was often called the "cancer eating away at Bioware" and other such piffle on twitter and there was certainly uncivil things said about her too.

Hepler was attacked in real life by trolls who sought out her phone number, personal email, and other contact info just to harass her.

In contrast, look at a super controversial male figure. Dennis Dyack. Dennis Dyack has pretty consistently been attacked for his perceived role in some really bad game industry decisions with Silicon Knights. Whether or not the allegations are true, the attacks on Dyack are not based on his gender or his eating habits.

But you're also saying that you should have your likeness in the game if you're good looking. Indeed, you said it'd be a waste of money if a voice actor's visual 'sex appeal' isn't marketed -- or at least the voice actors who are female.


Actually I specifically stated the opposite of just that. Keep up dearie.

If you're going to hire attractive actresses who've founded their careers on being cute, like Felicia Day, you might as well work her best aspects into the game. Waste of money elsewise.


Oh, boo boo. Short memory AND a condescending faux feminist, aren't you?

Why should there be some sort of taboo against including her likeness in the game? She's not an ugly woman so really, you'd be getting more bang for your buck.

Surprising number of girls are into gay guy sex. I say surprising because I always used to assume all girls were bisexual and liked heteresexual/lesbian porn, if they even watched it at all and didn't just read erotic stories. Naive times. Good times.


Google yaoi, friend.

It's more the 'in ways men can never dream of knowing' part and specifying cunning rather than strength, will, other aspects, etc. I'm referring more to.  Not meaning any offense of course.

Lack of condoms, large hairy men, and small androgynous men. Fyi.

Why would it matter if she was ugly? Fiction has 'ugly' people in it.

Men do some things better than women and women do some things better then men. Same with clothing and video game covers.
