This is my final attempt to get through to you.

In Response To: Re: You are off your rocker. (SEspider)

:
: Reguardless of how many players it alienates. And once again, I WAS
: SPEAKING FOR OTHERS and not just myself.

: On this topic, you sure as hell don't speak for me.
: SMH.

:Once again, I NEVER said I did.

FFS, in your OWN POST you JUST SAID above, and I quote: "And once again, I WAS
:SPEAKING FOR OTHERS and not just myself. I've explained this above. "

I've made a best effort attempt to read your broken English post. Your flip-flopping and backtracking would make a politician proud.

You argue all the wrong points in your own post. The ignorance of it all. I'm shocked for words. Truly.

I could be here all night responding to explain and respond to everything you've said in these replies that is wrong.

I'm not going to waste my time.

I will do this, last attempt of good will, to show you sentence by sentence what was wrong with your original paragraph, and how you could have phrased it better. I'll even make it easy for you, and color code it.

Your original text is in blue. My corrections, are red, just like you'd see on homework. Remember, the following is your original statement, and what has drawn ire of your peers:

Players loved Samus until they learned it was a girl in the armor.
False. Over reaching. You may say “I loved Samus until they learned it was a girl in the armor.” You are being too general in saying “players” and you offer no source for these players.

Great game and all but the fact that, Samus is a pretty white girl, is shoved in the player's face, with each game, has pushed players away.
Subjective and false. Not everyone is going to find her attractive. You may say YOU find her attractive, but again, you are speaking about others who do not share your opinion. It is NEVER shoved in your face each game. If you’ve played it, you’ll recall that each Metroid game only reveals the face\body of Samus at the end of the game, depending on how fast it was completed. We are talking, literally the last 2% of the game. With the exception of Prime 1, she’s cartoonish in all the others.
Here’s an image I compiled for you.

If you find these to be overly sexual, knowing that there are other games out in the world today with actual depictions of sex and sex acts, then you have a larger, more personal problem. Get help.

Remember, Cortana is naked. So if Samus is too much, I don't know how you can play Halo with Cortana.

The little detail of her face, coupled with her beauty, age, & race, just alienated players.
Subjective, sexist, racist, and again, you are speaking for others when you should be speaking for yourself. You may say, “The little detail of her face, coupled with her beauty, age, & race, just alienated me”. If you’re going to be racist and sexist, at least have the courtesy to refer to YOURSELF.

I loved the games but I could no longer find a reason to relate to her character. So I stopped playing the games.

This last sentence, is the only one that needs no correction, and is the only thing you would have needed to say. It is the ONLY thing you've said, that was appropriate.

What you wrote preceding it was sexist and racist, and added -zero- value to the "see cheif's face" discussion.

This single, blue sentence above me, is ALL YOU NEEDED TO SAY. “I don’t want to see Master Chief’s face. They tried that in Metroid. I loved the games but I could no longer find a reason to relate to Samus’ character. So I stopped playing the games. ”

That is ALL YOU NEEDED TO SAY, AND NO ONE WOULD HAVE YELLED AT YOU.

Hopefully, you understand now.
If you do not, or you disagree, then don’t even bother with a reply. If you don’t see what you said was wrong now, you never will.
