Paradox Celebrates International Women’s Day With DLC

[TheDecider]

It isn't...? If I had said 364 then the implication would have been that leap years have two woman's day. Really on a response about (stupid) implications that really should have been an obvious conclusion.

This reminds of that politician who said he'd changed his views 360* on a subject

 

[Dibujante]

Depends. How many of them did anything notable?

Have you heard of Frederick the Great?

 

[Zqrfmb]

please, mods, close this, the political vomit is piling up, we need sawdust.

 

[AurochsAway]

And Maria Theresa. And Elizabeth I. And the Isabella half of the Ferdinand and Isabella combo. And Catherine of Aragon. That's a few of the more obvious names.

But hey, women can't fight wars or build empires, amirite?

Is true, button is greyed out!

 

[Ciaphas Cain]

Actually it's about ethics in free video game content.

 

[Meneth]

b) dont have IRL popular movements.

Fiscal conservatives don't exist any more?

 

[Grantanz]

Also, the relationship between what a woman says and what she does is pretty much orthogonal.

No sexism here, nothing to see, move along.

 

[DmUa]

Fiscal conservatives don't exist any more?

- in GAMING?

Yeah I hear a saddening amount of people saying that thinking it means opposite so doesn't surprise me at all to see a public figure doing it.

Though you can always go against the obvious and start a discussion about how 0 and 360 degrees might have similar meanings in some cases but not in all so are distinctly different things which carry different connotations. Thus you can take from such response that he went through all other views on the subject before settling on his original view with the implication that after carefully considering things he concluded it was the best view. Or that he is stating on a roundabout way that he will never change his view. Or a particularly obscure reference to 4+ dimensional structures.

- thats why i said that both pro and anti in this thread are similarly disgusting.

- in GAMING?

It might be a bit far fetched, but does Sony's ban on Nintendo let's play's on youtube count as that? You now, trying to squeeze every penny from people by having them buy the game before they realize how it actually is?

Agreed, both camps are incredibly sexists.

- does this corporate policy have popular support movement alongside gamers?

Great DLC idea, can't wait to get it! Thanks Paradox!

The rest of this thread is vomit-inducingly gross, which is what I assumed it would be when I saw the title of the new DLC and observed that the thread was 11 pages long already.

 

[Histenchist]

- The male devs are getting laid.
- The female devs are getting to feel important.
- The whiteknight male forumposters get to sit on their high horses and stroke their ego.
- The female forumposters... (BAHAHAHA)
- I'm getting free stuff.
What's there to complain about?

Is there a international counters-day? For HOI4?

 

[DmUa]

- The female forumposters... (BAHAHAHA)

- hey! We have at least one! ( but i forgot her name, she had signature - btw im a girl, i think )

 

[mrstevehazzard]

Sounds like a cool little DLC. Thanks Paradox!

 

[Vaximillian]

Raineh Daze.

 

[Ofaloaf]

Sounds like a neat addition to the game! I'm looking forward to playing it.

Patch it into the base game and don't tell anyone.

Great, political perverseness seeping into one of my favorite gaming companies now. I'd be fine with some historical events and female additions (with a low mtth) but lining this up with "International Women's Day" is over the top.

Let's not add things to a game set at least two centuries ago based on liberal culture today. I play this game with my wife and daughters, we all enjoy it just fine without such pretensions.
