Sexism in video games.

[Camelza]

Close You tube, then re-open it ..the GD video will vanish from the reccomendations(mages guild comes in mind)

How does one close Jewtube?

Jew jokes are not kosher dude.

Πρωινός-πρωινός βλέπω.

Αυπνος...με ξυπνησαν εχθες απο τις 11:00 να παρω κατι απο το φροντιστηριο και μετα κοιμηθηκα ολη μερα

Κ'είπες να το κάψεις στο ΝΣ ε? ....το total war πιο εποικοδομητικό μου ακούγεται

Τα εχω σβησει τα ΤW. Θα επεζα EU3 αρα σπασαν το PU οι Σερβοι και νευριασα

...θα έπρεπε να τους τιμωρήσεις για αυτή την προσβολή! "Στο Βελιγράδι αδέρφια μου", σημαίες, τρομπέτες και δεν σημαζεύεται.

I get that you have never played a Paradox Interactive game huh?

I've only played the demo of Victoria 2 as the US ...peace of cake.

I only played as Greece (and Mexico in that MP games). Gotta love realism (if you count Greece owning 1/3 of Africa but keeping its 1830 borders realistic of course)

See Belgium; Similar size(quite smaller), same independence year ...owned Congo for a whole century.

Not everyone living in Germany is white either but Germans are white

So now the entire German army will be white? Seriously?

Drako as any decent nationalist seperates "nations" from "states", thus according to him a Polish person that was born in Germany is a German citizen, but a Polish national.
Actually, most Europeans think that way.

I don't really get it.

So a Filipino born in America is an American citizen but a Filipino national?

But I don't even like my own culture. What the fuck kind of labeling is this? o.o

America doesn't apply as it's a multinational society, a constructed nation.
To answer you question: a dumb one, but this is the way it is in most of the world except pherhaps all of the Americas, Australia-NZ and a little bit of Africa.

The old chicken has the juice

This only applies for cooking.

And MILFs

*sigh*

[Camelza]

*sigh*

That's what she said... did.. I dunno

[Camelza]

The sexism is there, but it's getting better. I wish I had something more positive than that, but that's all I can honestly say.

Sexism needs to exist so that gender roles dont dissapear

[Ceci nest pas une bouteille]

...is this another one of those things where someone decides that everyone on the "feminist" side of a thread is secretly the same person?

what's all this about then?

We're all agreeing with each other about everything, duh. Because as everyone knows, that's what feminists do.

[Choronzon]

Anyone else noticing the ad here that says "male gamers only"? With a picture of a sexually objectified woman of course.

Anyway, me, I'm not much of a gamer. Doesn't interest me. But you'd have to be blind not to notice that video games tend toward the sexist side. I've also frequently heard tell that gamer culture is highly misogynistic, from more than a couple of women gamers.

So. Would anyone like to share their opinions or thoughts on this?

Many gamers are males. Young males. You deal with them in an open forum (like PvP servers) and you get 13 year olds who think their sword or gun is an extension of their..... well.

Games themselves? Not so sure. Esp. Bioware games, whether you're a female or male has no bearing on how good or bad you are.

Bioware is a progressive exception to what is a predominately sexist and misogynistic field.

Heh. Maybe that's why I mostly play their stuff.

I'll admit, the games I play are limited to:

Bioware games.
Total War games.
Mechwarrior Online.

None of those are particularly misogynistic. But then you look at, say, the new Tomb Raider game and, well....

[Choronzon]

Bioware is a progressive exception to what is a predominately sexist and misogynistic field.

You're talking about the company that gleefully introduces new slave girl outfits and designed a female slave Twi'lek character companion to be used and abused for your amusement.

No idea what you're talking about. I don't know if I've played the game in question.

Also Isabela.

One sexualized female does not misogyny make, especially when the skimpy outfits and sexualization crosses gender lines.

Or are we just going to ignore her male counterpart Zevran?

[Choronzon]

I think you misspelled "Bethesda" there.

I don't play Bethesda games because they're fucking awful.

[Choronzon]

It is to attract the attention of males.

HOLY SHIT NO WAY!


You win the award for "least insightful comment."

[Choronzon]

Also, you're talking about how awful Bioware is with this and you're supposedly playing a SUBSCRIBER account? Really? If I thought a company was that unabashedly misogynist and sexist, I'd sure as fuck not be giving them money every month.

....my thoughts exactly.

[Choronzon]

Well, I mean, yeah. Please note that the other poster implied that women should have no boobs in games and that is, normally, unrealistic.


I'd really like to know what non-eroge games you've been playing.

Soul Calibur has already been mentioned in this thread, so let's stick with it as an especially obvious example.

This is an actual character in the game: http://i71.beon.ru/41/46/834641/94/8823 ... pt_01.jpeg

The link is broken/forbidden.

[Choronzon]

Also I don't pay my subscription. A fellow raider does because they want me to raid with them and I would have quit ages ago if they didn't pay for me to play.

That's the weakest excuse I've heard all day, and I spent this morning with a seven year old.

Its so hard to actually stand up for your principles. Bitching on the internet is way easier.

[Choronzon]

The link is broken/forbidden.

Weird. Try this one. Or just google "Ivy Soul Calibur." She's a pretty great example of shitty character design in which "lol boobies" is prioritized above all else.

Holy shit.

Those...how can she even see?

[Choronzon]

Nope. If you can't read the thread or be bothered to look around and see things that are right in front of your face then I'm not going to waste more of my time on you.

The fact that he hasn't made everyone else's ignore list is actually quite astonishing. I mean, perhaps to some its amusing or cute, but I got sick of his shit some time ago.

[Choronzon]

I give up.

Look, at the end of the day, my question will remain this: is it really worth talking about a trend that is disappearing anyway?

Let me answer that question with a question. What do you think is the reason for it disappearing?

Sorcery.

[Choronzon]

Sorcery.

I put on my robe and wizard hat.

Yes.

[Choronzon]

Sounds to me like you're whining because you can't be unrealistically sexy.

I mean, really, doesn't this just sum up the caliber of this poster?
