Sexism in video games.

[DrakoBlaria]

No, it something attractive. To males it is the tits of the females, to women it is muscles and hairstyle. Same shit

No it fucking isn't. Being strong is not the same as being little and having big tits, especially when that strength comes from work.

We are talking about boy bands

[DrakoBlaria]

Not all boobs are the same



Where did you even get that from?

Yet again: most women on Earth, and?

As I said I have a fetish

[DrakoBlaria]

Are you kidding me? Boy bands are designed to be appealing to men? Really? Really?

We're talking about video games here, buddy. You might want to go find whatever thread you fell out of where you were talking about boy bands.

Or you should read my posts before you reply to them? I was giving a counter example that the same thing done to females in video games is done to men in boy bands. It is advertising!

[DrakoBlaria]

And here I ask you, why is it sexist? How does it harm women? Why is it bad?

Crossing the line between designing a character in order to appeal to the audience's sexual urges and doing so for the sake of characterization is the line between characterization and objectification, reduction of the character to sub-human status. A revealing costume which makes sense in the context of either the setting or the character is a totally different thing, it's justified by the context. Nina Williams might be argued to dress the way she does to express some aspect of her personality, or perhaps to more easily gain access to her assassination targets.

Now, can you provide a contextual reason that Ivy would dress the way she does?

EDIT: Clarity in the first sentence.

I dunno, why is Siegfried dressed like that?

Advertising doesn't make something non-sexist.

I can put a bunch of naked women on a sign for a car wash. It's advertising. It's also sexist (both ways) because it takes advantage of the idealized female body stereotype while simultaneously screaming "MEN DON'T THINK WITH ANYTHING EXCEPT THEIR *HUFF* PENSISESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!"

So, do you accept that boy bands are sexist?

[DrakoBlaria]

Or you should read my posts before you reply to them?

No. Maybe you should stop threadjacking.

Giving you a counter example to which you dont have a response to is threadjacking?

[DrakoBlaria]

So, do you accept that boy bands are sexist?

Oh, hell yes. But they aren't the topic of this thread.

Also, boy bands don't represent the music industry as a whole. Sexism in video games is a major reason why video games are not taken seriously as an art medium.

And some games with women with big tits and big armor dont represent the entire game industry

[DrakoBlaria]

Giving you a counter example to which you dont have a response to is threadjacking?

Dude. Britney fucking Spears. Christina Aguillera.

Whoever the fuck else is big right now, I don't follow pop music. The music industry is infinitely more sexist toward women than it it toward men.

Johnas brothers
Justing Fucking Biber or whatever

[DrakoBlaria]

No, really, can someone point me to one of these games?

Or am I the only one whom has played games with competent women? Well, except for Ashley in RE4...

Haunted Ground is an extreme case of sexsim, a young woman alone, everyone trying to molest her, and you checking her ass through the entire game /sarcasm

[DrakoBlaria]

I dunno, why is Siegfried dressed like that?

Siegfried wears a suit of armor because he is a knight. Your turn.

Taki is a fucking ninja

[DrakoBlaria]

This game's demographics are ridiculous and annoying.

On the other hand everything from bethesda treats both sexes equally.

Why is a G.Dawn video reccomended to me next to that one? God damn google, spying what videos I see

[DrakoBlaria]

Johnas brothers
Justing Fucking Biber or whatever

Actually, those aren't sexist (though the latter has turned out to be a giant chodemonger).

Good job not getting it.

Yes it is, it is young boys with perfect hair and nice bodies just there to appeal to females. Same goes for women in video games. Now, can I play my game with someone complaining about how it ruins society?

[DrakoBlaria]

Why is a G.Dawn video reccomended to me next to that one? God damn google, spying what videos I see

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?

Taki is a fucking ninja

...Ivy, Drako. We were talking about Ivy.

We could switch to a different character if you like, but not Taki. Let's talk about Sophitia. Sophitia's outfit is often pointed to as an example of objectification. In context she at least follows a Greek theme, which is great, but the extent to which her outfit is revealing clashes fairly strongly with her character: a shy, happily married woman who will swiftly put off the advances of men, which she receives frequently. Can you explain why she would be wearing progressively more revealing outfits? She started out somewhat well covered.

Are you kidding me? Out of all characters you choose Shophitia? The woman has such an intense personallity that you cant even objectify her even if you tried. Wish I would say the same about her dumbass son

[DrakoBlaria]

And if I recall correctly Ivy used to be a man or something... wow boy

[DrakoBlaria]

You don't know shit about Sophitia.

To be fair yeah, I really didnt pay attention to her. I was younger when I first played the game and was too busy with Mitsurugis's and Azazel's story... God that ending..

And I dunno, Sophitia was just annoying "I must protect my children". That is all I remember. Now, that Jap girl who wanted to kill Mitsurigi is interesting

[DrakoBlaria]

Ugh, yes. I like the Soul series as fighting games, but there are times when I just can't stand playing them anymore because of how ridiculous most of the women, and especially Ivy, are.

(On the bright side, I am REALLY GOOD as Talim, whom I started playing initially specifically because (a) her boobs are a vaguely plausible size relative to the rest of her frame, rather than being giant balloons attached to a stick-figure body and (b) she gets to fight in actual pants rather than a miniskirt or a damn dominatrix costume. She still has to fight in what appears to be a tiny tube top, but I'll take what I can get. *sigh*)

My fave is Seoung Mina. I just have to get the distance right, and BAM!

She looks like something out of Dynasty Warriors.

[DrakoBlaria]

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

[DrakoBlaria]

So, if the female is competent and a good character, why are her clothes supposed to matter?

When would you ever see a male character dressed similarly, except in pornography games?

Scarlet Blade itself almost toes the line for a pornography game.

Emm, I doubt you would see a dude wearing a brah... ever.

[DrakoBlaria]

Now, that Jap girl who wanted to kill Mitsurigi is interesting

Wow! And now we're onto the racial slurs! Fantastic.

She is from Japan for God's saying. Does breathing air offened you? What about walking?

[DrakoBlaria]

If I recall correctly, you can pay to remove all upper body clothing in that game.

14 pages in and no one has mentioned the Larry games?

[DrakoBlaria]

If you're talking about Setsuka, she's not Japanese, not by blood anyway.

My fave is Seoung Mina. I just have to get the distance right, and BAM!

Seong-Mina's the shit, I'm boss with her!!!

Wait she wasnt Jap? Oh, but she had that Umbrella and fought like a Samurai. Then again I remember her making an orphanage in Constantinople... so I guess she was an orphan raised by the dude Misturugi killed? My SC lore is rusty

[DrakoBlaria]

To be fair yeah, I really didnt pay attention to her.

She apologizes constantly, and her taunt in the third installment causes her to assume a concerned posture and mumble to herself "Was that too much?" Sophitia's a mama bear, don't get me wrong. She'll step up if she feels her family is in danger. But in general she's a very quiet, polite, unassuming woman. And the fact that her outfits are becoming bolder and bolder speaks in direct contrast to that character. All I want to know is why such a woman would dress in as revealing a fashion as she does. Otherwise, we're forced to accept the changes in her costume design as an example of objectification.

I was younger when I first played the game and was too busy with Mitsurugis's and Azazel's story... God that ending

Well, I would actually point to Mitsurugi as an example of male objectification (a much better example than Siegfried, anyway, unless you mean his early incarnation before he and Nightmare separated). A samurai would generally be wearing a leather chestplate with several kimono underneath, and yet Mitsurugi feels compelled show of his rippling pecs. Maybe it could be justified as allowing for greater mobility, I don't know.

I just liked Samurais back then... as I grew up I kinda abandoned him. But Azazel is still the most awesome character to have ever been in the game

Given that you used a term for Japanese people which has been offensive for the last 60 or so years, maybe you should get a clue.

Yeah... never heard that before. Jap is just sort for Japanese, at least I thought it was

[DrakoBlaria]

To hell.

One can dream.

For some reason their fans think all of them write their own song, or that all of them are straight.

You haver obviously neve read a fanfiction... neither have I. Or I wish I hadnt
