Being healthy? I get your point, men do like big breasts, it's sexually attractive, but it doesn't mean that they don't like women with small breasts. Archer
we are not talking about being "healthy"
"healthy" has nothing to do with bra size

it is healthy to admit what you're sexually attracted to. it's not his fault you're repressed

What the ***. simple answer is "yes" more complex answer is "context is important and in this context the answer is yes" Quote: I agree. He draws what he likes and what will sell. Why get angry at the cook when he makes what the majority want to eat? people should not talk about these kinds of things ever clearly this is going to be the best way to make sure the rampant sexism present in gaming culture is dealt with of ffs. get the *** over it
look dogg if you want to continue to hold horrible opinions about important stuff you are more than welcome to do so but you don't get to decide whether or not other people are going to mock you for having them
it's your opinion that they are horrible.
I agree to an extent that the industry is sexist.
However people need to pull the knot out of their panties and move on with their lives.
If you want to *** because there isn't enough titles that you enjoy because they cater to a different crowd: sure.
If you want to *** about discrimination, or abuse: sure.
Don't sit here and *** because people enjoy certain things, and companies are willing to sell them what they want, when it's not harming anybody.
You're taking it too far, and it's really sad.

look i like some big ole titties as much as the next guy
historically, i have exercised this by going out and finding willing women with big titties to have sex with, rather than imposing it as some sort of ideal, or caring about the titties of women i was not trying to sleep with
this is not difficult, buddy

Quite frankly I find that the presumption that all women don't enjoy the same things as the male crowd more sexist, but that's just me, and I'm not sitting here insulting people over it.
Some people like certain things.
Some companies are willing to provide for that consumer.
Get over it.

"the journalist's gf/wannabegf probably drones on about oppressive, patriarchal, dirty man-games, because she's homely. He just did it to shut her up and score some not sleep on the couch points" I mean I don't think that's actually the case, but I do feel he had an ulterior motive. A random non-eunich doesn't just spontaneously decided to champion women in some obscure *** article. The boss probably said "our reader base is 80% male". or some ***. This was his motive. :p
The fact that sexist men think other men only call them out on their sexism in order to get laid is hilarious and never stops being so
it's like your mind LITERALLY CANNOT CONCEIVE of what it would be like to think sexism was bad Quite frankly, you're taking pixels way too seriously.
so seriously, i typed a bunch of glib 3-sentence forum posts
better call the care police! After your several other posts whining on like child, yeah, you're taking an escape from reality into a fantasy world too seriously.
Quote: Women prancing around half-naked/naked was around long before video games.
and that ***, when created by men to reinforce sexual fantasies originally inculcated by men, for men, was sexist then and it's sexist now So you're saying developers only make games so they can see what kind of perversions arise from it? You're twisted.
Quote: Also, please tell me how a woman character designed like that is sexist?
for starters, it presents a physical ideal for women that is hypersexualized, whereas the physical ideal presented for men IN THE SAME CONTEXT (this game) is based on athleticism
same ***you see in comic books. the men don't have any more realistic body types than the women, it's true, but at least with the men they look like reasonable depictions of somebody who could pick up a car
What does a sorcerer need to be athletic for? lol
So women can't have a lesser muscular tone without being inferior despite their superpowers? Who's sexist now... People want to define their characters as male or female and at a certain point of muscles, females will start looking like men, so it's better to keep them separate in that manner.
Quote: If I tell you to get back in the kitchen and make me a sandwich, then I'll be sexist. But until then, I'd advise you to stop being idiotically presumptuous.
please continue playing video games and never put yourself in a position where your opinions will have consequences for other people Opinions about a video game... about a fictional escape from reality... taking those seriously... rrright...

This topic is going too far, it's just a game.
You don't have to like it or agree with it.
By ScaevolaBahamut 2013-04-26 14:22:40
i don't understand why you are so defensive about these opinions that you claim are not pro forma horrible
why do you need to justify your preferences to me by reminding me you aren't the only one who has them
i'm not doing that, despite googling "sexism in video games" will show a lot of people who've given this a lot more thought than i have

I don't consider it sexy. I wouldn't play that game in any situation where a woman or a non-gamer friend could walk in on me, no matter how good it is. It's not on the same level as porn, but it'd still embarass me to some extent. The design is completely over the top, and as kotaku said, looks like something made by a 14-year-old boy.
That said, there are clearly people who do enjoy that design. This is a game company, they aren't designing the game to make a statement about what male and female bodies are or should be. They're designing it to make money. If they designed it like that, clearly they believe their audience will receive it better like that.
I love how the gays and 'progressive' men will champion any cause that looks like it can make them more supportive to women. It's a game design, deal with it.

Except: I'm saying that this guy was ok to design a game with whatever proportions he wanted and YOU were not required to buy it. The only one trying to impose anything is YOU telling everyone else here how YOU were told you were supposed to tell us to think.

You make more money by making your game characters sexual in a way, that's a fact, nobody familiar with video games should be surprised, Asian or Western video games alike.
Leviathan.Comeatmebro said: »I love how the gays and 'progressive' men will champion any cause that looks like it can make them more supportive to women. It's a game design, deal with it. Pretty much.
That being said, you can't blame everyone of them to be white knights, some of them really believe in this. It's still stupid in the end, but they don't do it for an *** they'll never get.
i don't understand why you are so defensive about these opinions He could just tell you to stop vomiting your nonsenses but that would be slightly less tactful.
He would still be spot on, though.

My defense is because when I pick up a video game, I want it to be a world I can get into; despite what it's characters are dressed like or what they look like. If I see something overly obsessed on, like the awkward nonchalant perverse moments in Star Ocean: The Last Hope, I go, "That's a little weird..." but I move on and continue enjoying the game.
Also, Samus is one of the most badass females characters in the industry, until NinjaTheory got a hold of the franchise and tried to make her like a little girl with daddy issues, but I like to pretend that game was never made. There are dozens of other female characters in games that lead/support, so I don't see where the sexism is coming from.

so, if somebody's position is that a game with female caharcters with, shall we say, unrealistic proportions helps them "get into" the "fantasy", it is your opinion that it is inappropriate to point at them and call them losers
because good luck with that
(also their precious feelings matter a lot less than the process of eradicate completely unrealistic and exaggerated sexual expectations of women, otherwise known as "rape culture", HTH)

but when people assume thats what's happening, rather than, you know, somebody trying to actually be a good person who loves justice, i find that...telling

If people are only buying a game because they want to imagine perverse things about the female characters in the game, then they're a pervert. But it get's back to ***(pervert)-shaming, and good luck with that.

uh
publicly shaming bad behavior is 100% correct, bro

Are you really arguing that the right thing is censoring animation or shaming people who enjoy it..? I assumed you're doing it because of how it looks since you normally seem intelligent and the alternative is laughable.
By Lye 2013-04-26 14:48:02
do you honestly not see a consistent line between the objectificatiobn of women in video games and the objectification in the actual real live video game industry
Symptomatic? Perhaps. But there are better fights to be fighting.

never been on it! I do know that as soon as I saw that last post, I knew you were either a super troll and had me going for 3 pages or a complete idiot.
The fact that you even said "rape culture" (presumably with a straight face) in a thread that started as "journalist criticizes FICTIONAL CHARACTER DESIGN in a *** FANTASY VIDEO GAME" is amazing. Regardless of whatever occurred in this thread, that you turned it into: THIS IS WHY THIS SOCIETY IS:..... wait for it
Quote: Rape culture is a concept used to describe a culture in which rape and sexual violence are common and in which prevalent attitudes, norms, practices, and media normalize, excuse, tolerate, or even condone rape.
boobs in a video game = rape is a normal attitude in our society. take a bath with your toaster.

Rape culture is a blanket word that gets thrown around by progressives and gays. If you want to get into it, the general theory is that sexual objectification will make women seem more like objects and make rape seem more acceptable. I'm pretty sure the woman being objectified in this thread is an object, by most definitions. Just saying.

I'm not going to censor myself, we all know the two groups that rabidly champion these causes. It's the same in every thread. I'm just saying what a large portion of readers are thinking.
04/12 Kotaku posts this piece of "feminist criticism":
http://kotaku.com/game-developers-really-need-to-stop-letting-teenage-boy-472724616
George Kamitani replies half assed gaming journalism with this:(twitter screenshot from a third party)
https://twitter.com/HokutoAndy/status/326548474772484098/photo/1
Actually the picture is from the dwarves that are another selectable character on the same game the journalist was criticizing. A tongue in cheek joke which was interpreted as a homophobic insult.
04/16 Kotaku "journalist" replies with another article :
http://kotaku.com/the-real-problem-with-that-controversial-sexy-video-ga-478120280
Then after all that frigging flame throwing they toss this: (today, 04/25)
http://kotaku.com/beyond-the-bosoms-this-art-is-some-of-the-best-in-the-480270975
Seriously WTF is going at Gawker ?
Not satisfied with stupid gossip now they're trying to attack game makers ?
