Title: Why women criticise sexualised character designs (READ OP)

Red Text: Anecdotal evidence that reinforces your position is okay, but anecdotal evidence that doesn't...just gets dismissed. Furthermore, by dismissing the media reported stores as being a "few fringe crazy people," you're dismissing the anecdotal evidence of other users in this very thread, who have talked about being harassed. Again, anecdotal evidence that supports your position is A-okay, while downplaying anecdotal evidence that doesn't.It's fine if you want to form your opinion around your own life experiences. But it's a big damn world, and people have had different experiences than yourself. Trying to argue from authority based upon what you have personally experienced while downplaying the personal experiences of others isn't going to fly here. When you get back in 3 days, you're welcome to share experiences if you can do so without attempting to dismiss the experiences of other users here.
