Okay but I dunno if the rest of the people will be able to handle it. Because...
Speaking of never going away.... X__X
my "journalism" sniffing nose has sniffed. Also, when i mentioned Ms. Sarkeesian, I DIDNT MEAN FOR SOMETHING RELATED FOR HER TO POP OUT IN RECENT HISTORY! LORD GABEN HAELP!
Tropes vs Women in Gaming - Body Armor - Full transcripts can be found in the links within the link.
Okay, I don't claim to be a moral candle, since I'm an insane lunatic with the maturity level of a sane young adult male AND the insanity of a demon killing murder machine, but there are things that I like to point out. I like girls in video games. I like them, A LOT. Heck, I play the female avatar very often in games that allow gender choosing. Who doesn't like the hot video game chicks and ladies? WE ALL DO!
However, if i do have an opinion regarding clothing choices for the video game ladies, I would like them to be clothed at least. I've been quite vocal in every internet outlet there is (not just here BTW, even in social media) regarding my criticisms of MMORPGs making their women scantily clad. I've seen countless MMORPGs and MMOs just try too hard in making women look overly sexualized with scantily clad clothing (aka Bras and Panties armor plating) and I'm actually quite bothered because I don't think it was ever needed ever. Even Ragnarok Online wasn't immune to it. Heck RO in past times made their women look cute and encouraging to play as. But the 3rd jobs came and some of them just looked way too sexualized to be taken seriously thus followed the sad sad trend. I would post artwork of it but I really just want to show mercy to the letter limit, and to the thread D:
But you know Femmies and FemNazis are like "THE VIDEO GAME INDUSTRY IS A PATRIARCHAL INDUSTRY WITH YOUR CLOTHED MEN AND SCANTILY CLAD WOMEN! BURRRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNN!" and all that stuff.
" reinforces the already pervasive and harmful notion in our culture that sexualization is the most viable or only real route to power for women."
WRONG ANITA and your fellow close minded femmies! Do you even Warhammer and Sisters of Battle? of course not because they don't know Warhammer and they aren't cool enough to know how awesome the Sisters of Battle are.
And there's already a great number of well designed video game women with actual clothing. Please do more of your research Femmy squad. Do you even Overwatch, Battleborn, League of Legends, and DOTA2? No of course you don't because Tracer's booty triggered you. Heck there's so much more to mention, but it can't be helped. Femmies will always be femmies, and I'm referring to both Male and female femmienazis.
And lastly, I'd like to point out that the main reason why Bayonetta works as a protag of her series is that she is what she is. She is shamelessly sexual yet she's classy in doing it. She isn't there to kneel down and give some men some head. NO. Bayonetta works because she's classy and shameless at the same time. She has a character, and she flaunts it shamelessly. And its also good to point out that Bayonetta was designed by a woman.
The main problem i have really with Anita's content is that her series is basically just talking about things that has been explored before, and the way she is delivering with her stuff is that she's trying too hard to make them sound like absolute truths and gospels. That's basically the main source of the cringe for me. I don't mind topics like this as long as its so open for everyone to talk about. That's always been Anita's Sarkeesian's problem to me. She just loves hearing herself for it. We've had already a lot of issues regarding the designs of males and females in video games since the dawn of the "more politically correct media era" really. I don't think that we really need a well organized series of something that's been explored AND ANSWERED for numerous times. But the fact that they remain at their attempts for relevance really baffles me so hard. I don't even want to rage at it anymore. And I don't want to sound some misogynistic bastard since I clearly am not. I respect both genders and sexual preferences in media.
Yet we all enjoy this kind of stuff do we? Especially when we have vocal speakers in both the sexes amirite? I don't mind it really. I enjoy hearing everyone's views and opinions regarding gender-sex issues in something as fun as video games. We've come a long way from just enjoying them like how we were as kids, and all we just cared for was killing demons and enemy soldiers, or headstomping goombas while eating shrooms.
Oh well ladies and dudes, because I don't like making any thread dull, its my job to put some humor as well so:
PS: I apologize for my ultra long post X__X
