I don't know maybe because of gender stereotypes? Such as Girls usually have pretty/cute names, and males don't it is just how people look at it. Sure everyone (or even no one) doesn't have to follow this stereotype but telling someone that you named your girl dragon would be a little weird wouldn't it? IDK about you but i would find it a bit strange at first if someone told me that they named their girl Dragon, same as people naming their children after colors or items, it is just strange (I know it is just a fish but still). Also i am a Feminist so i am certainly not sexist if that is what you're trying to say here...

What makes "dragon" a feminine name? What makes dragons masculine? There were male and female t-rexes, and if dragons existed I am sure there would be just as many male dragons as female.

(And I would find it strange for anyone to name a human child Dragon.)

You can't say "I'm a feminist" but not practice what you preach! Part of growing up is learning to examine your own thoughts critically, to second-guess your own assumptions and realize you might be wrong about something. You will be. Really often! That's OK! It's better than never learning anything.

I have a guy friend named Dragon... And i really did not look at it from a perspective of literally dragons i looked at dragon as a name so yeah there is that, and i actually just got into feminism today form my grade 12 English lesson (Critical approaches), it changed my thoughts quite a bit, it is not like i was disrespecting women in the first place, i treated women as fair as i would treat anyone, or even treat people how i would want to be treated (AKA the golden rule of Catholicism, but whatever no need to bring religion into this because religion itself is a little against feminism). But yeah something as silly as a name should not trigger something like sexism, it is just a small stereotype in the end anyways, I don not know maybe i just do not get offended as easily but sorry if i offended anyone.

Just a side not, I have been wrong many times (probably more wrong than right to be honest), and when people point it out (like you did brad) it makes it stick in my head so in a way thanks ;3

EDIT: Just noticed we're breaking a rule Uncertain "no back and forth replies in forums" D: PLZ DONT KILL ME MODS!

OH CARP! I remember... I saw this on TheRetroReplay.

This game is so awful that it gives Bubsy 3D some serious competition... The controls are worse, they're slipperier and the guy moves forwards when holding forward regardless of camera angle which I can't control.

But this belongs in the "Gaming Random Thoughts" thread, so I'll continue this conversation there.

I own a Wii U, and there's not so much to say about it really. Unless you want to buy it only for SSB or some carp like this I wouldn't recommend it.
Jul. 22, 2015  1:18 PM
 
I personally would, of all the systems this generation, the Wii U to me has the best library of games and none of that generic muddy overhyped BS. There's Super Mario 3D World, Super Smash Bros Wii U, Bayonetta II just to name a few.

How dare you. Nintendo and beyblade is my life and you can say what you want about the Wii u but its only 300$ and it has a great library of games. Mr Iwata beloved in having fun before making super powerful or most graphically advanced system. To me the Wii U is worth all 300$ and no one can comvince me to buy anything else. Because I don't like the game libraries for Xbox one or ps4

Wind Waker HD and soon super Mario maker and star fox zero. To me nintendo has the most creative games out there. And don't forget Splatoon, Mario cart 8, And eventually. The new Zelda Wii u.
Game.

Huge Nintendo fan here. I honestly think the Wii U's library is majorly lacking, which is why I still don't have one. I've just been gaming on my PC, waiting for a new Zelda.

I'm really comparing the Wii U to Xbox One and PS4, I mean you gotta admit the library there isn't so great either, some of their games are too generic and dull for me, a few are overhyped, and Knack PS4 launch title was a boring game to me.

I don't know if the Wii U will have a library comparable to Wii, NES or SNES etc but it still has some time to get more games.

I'm just a huge NES or Wii fan personally, but I like all Nintendo systems.

Anyway I think this is for "Gaming Tandom Thoughts" though correct me if I'm wrong.
