All Geared Up and Raring to Go! This comic was intended to be the way that developers dress their heroines in comparison to the heroes, but I guess it could also represent the way that a lot of male gamers dress up their female characters, as well. Your choice. See Torneko in the comic? He originally appeared in Dragon Quest IV, but he was also the main character from one of my favorite video games ever: Torneko: The Last Hope. Unfortunately, my copy of the game is now unplayable and I need to get another one. This will actually be my third copy of the game when I finally get around to buying it.

Lesson 919 - Willful Logic UPDATED: There have been a number of concerns raised about what I meant by "gender" in the comic. So let me try to explain my perspective as simply as possible: I have always viewed "gender" as being an overly simplistic linguistic construct that doesn't have any form of identity tied into it, while "sexuality" is much more fluid state of mind that covers identity and ambiguity. While others define "sexuality" strictly based on attraction, I've always taken the approach that it's a term that covers identity better than "gender" ever could. When you have this viewpoint, "gender" doesn't really have much significance to it, since all identity ties into "sexuality". This is a different approach (as I've come to learn over the past day) than a ton of other people take (perhaps you're one of them?). In some ways, this is like informing an American that everyone else has been calling soccer "football" for a much longer time than American football has existed.
