In Response To: Re: Feminist analysis of Halo 2 (BanditORR) : This is absolutely horrendously written. Take an English class for Christ's : sake. : "The Gravemind is both male and a rape monster" : I'm fine with this analysis- if you actually attempt to back it up. Just
: That's just one example. The whole thing is a mess. The main thing I take issue with is her assertions that Miranda is mostly an improvement in strong female characters, but still lacks competency because she gets herself in trouble and has to be rescued by males. My problem with this is that she's concluding that Miranda was scripted to do these things because she's a female. The role could just as easily be filled by a male, just as reckless and "almost competent", and no one would bat an eyelash. But because she's a girl it's all "oh she's still not quite good enough cause she's a girl". Makes me wonder how she would rip apart the character of the Arbiter if it were a "she". What would she conclude about the torture sequence, and being forced into military servitude to atone for past "sins"? But no, because the Arbiter is male she glosses right over all that and focuses instead on how noble he is, even calling him a "knight in shining armor". HARDLY the description the Arbiter would have for himself, I think.
