I choked on my whiskey when I read that headline. Then I read the article and the fact that I agree with Jaffe soothed my injured throat.
I could use some new hardware right about now. I wouldn't mind burying my face in the NGP, either! Hayoooo!
I don't know what anyone sees in Jaffe :/
Coming from the guy that has a problem with the word "fag" only cements my feelings of him being a hypocrite. Between him and Cliffy B. there's enough macho attitude for the whole games biz.

I don't like the quote.. seeing quotes like this is the reason people aren't taking a serious view on video games as a medium. Its very childish, and it could have been said better
God I can't stand this clown. He needs to shut the fuck up. He has problems with f*g but he can demoralize women everywhere. Jesus christ.
Dude, really!?
Like really?! Dude.
Come on now. And this from the guy that gave Anthony Burch flack for his casual use of gay epithets?
WTF?

@Magnalon:
Really?
This demoralizes women? He was basically saying that, with age and wisdom, one realizes that constantly chasing new pussy isn't worthwhile.

Jesus, guys.
I don't think what David Jaffe said was sexist. Crass, sure, but if Dtoid is going to start attacking crass comments, I'll have to get out the hypocrite alarm.
It's not like he said "Women are shit and only good for fucking." He said he likes pussy. I'm willing to bet the majority of the commenters in this thread do as well. Call me naive, but I don't see anything particularly harmful in stating that.
If anything, he basically said the constant desire for more sex with different women is unsatisfying and worthless. I think that's quite a positive message, wrapped up in a harmlessly vulgar way.

@DAVYDOCK:
I'm sure you'd find more than a few women who have similar perspectives on fresh cock.
I mean really, are we just angry at somebody for valuing the naughty bits of the sex he's interested in?

I fully agree with the use of this analogy. I want to quote him when it comes to just about everything.
@DAVYDOCK:
I know what you're trying to do
Hrrmmmmmmmmm
@Holmes:
That's pretty much perfectly correct

Not to say Jaffe actively hates and supresses women as a thing he does. But if he's referring to women casually as "pussy", doesn't that perpuate ideas of diminished humanity just as much or if not more than Anthony's casual use of "fag"?
Guy said what he said, people respond as they respond and I'll agree the statement has "crass" as it's best identifying description.
But, in terms of the running dialog about gaming being a boys club or a generally off putting environment for women, there is one more thing someone can add to their list of bulletpoints.
As someone that likes to see gaming and gamers break it's own stereotypes, statements like these are a manor bummer, to put it lightly.

Hey everyone, you do realise he was being over-the-top on purpose? His follow-up tweets basically spelled it out that he was being so crass just to wind people up. To wit:
"The whole pussy/NGP comment...uhm...it was meant to be over the top obnoxious peeps. So stupidly offensive that it was amusing. I was not using the simile for any reason other than that. I think I genuinely like to push the buttons of uptight people. They annoy me greatly :)."
He's a crass bloke, people need to accept that. Personally I just laughed at it. I thought it was funny. Don't take things so seriously.

Jaffa is more right about the link between new gadgets and vagina than he knows. After all, the PSP and its 2000 and 3000 variants can fit inside one with some effort.
The PSP Go is a no-brainer: why do you think it's called the Go?
The NGP though? That thing would probably tear open some important tissue. You can't just patch that to make it work again. And you wondered what the bottom touch-pad was for...

He better gets to developing instead of talking s***, also I don't wanna live in a world where fresh pussy isn't the best thing ever... did I hear an amen? XD
