Sunwoo Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Grinding is SOOOOO boring...I am talking about Awakening btw... I sank like 40 hours into my lunatic file. Just because I was DLC grinding to get my team to an acceptable level so they wouldn't die instantly. Everyone has capped all their important stats, and even now lunatic enemies are still a challenge. I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruity Insanity Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) Sex is not synonymous with gender. Someone who says sex and means gender is using the word incorrectly. SEX: either of the two main categories (male and female) into which humans and many other living things are divided on the basis of their reproductive functions: adults of both sexes. GENDER: the state of being male or female (typically used with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones): traditional concepts of gender | [ as modifier ] : gender roles. Okay, so maybe they're not identical, but I find them similar enough to be used synonymously, given the context of world culture up to this point. But anyway, that wasn't my point...

Sunwoo Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I thought you wanted excitement. If this was directed at me, excitement doesn't mean I like dying instantly because my characters are too weak to stand against lunatic enemies.

James Bond Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 It's been quite a while now that I don't feel like playing games, I play Awakening only because for some reason it is the only game I like to kill my time with... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you call a hermaphrodite? Again, my point wasn't about gender and sex; it was about implications of words based of one meaning... But to answer you question, I'd call a hermaphrodite a person with physical qualities of both sexes. What gender (or sex) he/she identifies himself/herself as is up to him/her. That will most likely be tied to how hermaphroditic he/she is and what psychological and social influence he/she had growing up.

Thor Odinson Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) Feels kinda binary in here when it's really a spectrum on a 3d coordinate system also again see my post on puns and wordplay Edited October 17, 2013 by Ezio Auditore da Firenze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the "lewd" joke. I just... really like arguing about semantics. I do it all time, even in real life. Yes, I've read Shakespeare... and yeah, they're full of them... I'm sensing he's probably using dictionary definitions Which are really not the best source of info for this kind of thing Perhaps, but hold meaning to them, nonetheless. They're based off something, after all. Oyasumi Fruity Ninja. お休みなさい~ ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruity Insanity Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) So you understand the problem. I-I guess, yeah. But yeah, I can be so serious and clueless sometimes.

Thor Odinson Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 They're written by rich white cisgendered men who knows nothing of the subject It's one of the worst sources of info pertaining to sex/gender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruity Insanity Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Lol, true... Such words can be hard to define. And while I think there are many hard-to-define words, I really don't think "sex" or "gender" are among them... That's just me, though. If you ask someone "What is the meaning of 'happiness'?", I bet they'd be more at a loss of words than if you asked someone "What is 'gender' or 'sex'?"

If you ask someone "What is the meaning of 'happiness'?", I bet they'd be more at a loss of words than if you asked someone "What is 'gender' or 'sex'?" It's because the people who write dictionaries belong to a group of people who hold the highest power in society and due to their more privileged positions may not understand the experiences of what actually is It's like those sheltered noblemen who won't know shit about normal people life until they get out of their castles and see what happens and even then they won't really understand unless they really go out and experience it (like there's that one case where a guy dressed up as a woman for a day and experienced all the sexual harrassment women had to deal with) It's not the perfect analogy but w/e This doesn't mean they're bad people necessarily but they lack the experiences to give an accurate view of the subject but those are the people you have writing dictionaries gender and sexuality is a lot more complex than it looks And now I nap because I'm really fucking tired, gonna dl B/W/2 when I wake up and emulate because I lack XY bai Edited October 17, 2013 by Ezio Auditore da Firenze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
