A lot of what that guy says about the way he communicates with his gf is legitimately disturbing. It's doubly wrong, but I would hope she finds a new dude on her trip to break it off but at the same time I kind of doubt she can if she's been with someone like that for years.

Some people in that thread are acting like all cats are unpredictable and do shit like that all the time  :lol

Some cats will meow in discomfort when they don't want to be snuggled, most will squirm/run away. She got really unlucky, the cat itself doesn't even seem angry.

Do girl gamers play video games with female protagonists and wish they were less attractive?

Like, is this an actual thing?

I think it's dumb that female characters routinely look ill-proportioned and lacking in being buff, the latter happens in all sorts of shit though not just video games.

Also look how you're framing it a bit less attractive =/= exaggeration of features.  But again video games aren't the only thing to consistently do this. Comic books too.

What you'll consistently have is some asshole going the "so you want to get rid of these bodies as if they don't exist?" Some of them do not in fact exist and the rest that are a bit more realistic, well there could be some variety just as you'll see with male characters. It's like every woman in a video game (and other media does this) has to be an "extremely" attractive thin, big tittied female between the ages of 16 and 40.

Where's the diversity?

At this point I care much less for the argument of what I want, but what is particularly a juvenile form of narrative.

In my defense, that's actually what the original article was implying (putting figures that normally wouldn't be considered attractive as attractive).

I dunno. As I said in the thread, I totally get that girl gamers might be annoyed at the overly skimpy clothing and extreme hourglass look that most female game characters are portrayed as, and there's a valid discussion to be had. But the argument that Bulimia.com and Polygon are making is just bizarre to me. I don't know too many guy gamers who wished Nathan Drake or Solid Snake to have a dadbod.

Let's be real solid Snake is still a way more attainable body type than a lot of the crap shown of women in video games. A better example would have been stuff that's exaggerated on purpose like Gears dudes, Heavies in games like Team Fortress and Borderlands, etc.

The argument isn't sexy needs to go away for me. The argument is that you got a wide variety of male characters/representation. What you have of women is all a 15 yr old horny male sees, not the whole gamut of women. It's lazy and pandering shit story telling.

Great example. Halo manages to have an older woman as a scientist. A role that's pretty sterile, so what do they have to make up for it, an AI that makes a complete nude model for itself that's supposed to be her 20 some odd years ago.  ::)

Cortana came first obviously but they sexualized her more and more then played like "oh better technology means more details!" and added in that Halsey backstory shit.

I think Master Chief is pretty neutered actually.

Little dogs that nip are the biggest fuckboys. Dachshunds :patel

That said, had a cat where I wouldn't pet any spot other than the top of her head vs. this new cat that lets you cradle him. He'd never bite me in the face whereas the other would.

Cat's have personalities, each one is diff temperamentally like any animal. Be conscientious of their body language regardless.

Max in Max Payne 3 has a schlub body type, and people bitched how slow he was and how long it took him to get off the ground after doing dives into walls. People wanted a forty something, pill popping alcoholic to be agile and have quick movements.

GTA4 also showed a penis. I feel like that was also pushing progress forward for equal representation in games.  :american

It feels disgusting when all the women shown are well endowed or have perfect features but it doesn't help anyone if you just made them all chubbier. Honestly, I don't think you should glorify that level of body fat in entertainment marketed towards kids and teens since it might give them a bad idea of what is healthy but that's my crazy opinion.

But Mirror's Edge and Metroid are really good examples of where the body of the main character was not well endowed/overly feminine or even shown at all to the player. Kind of shows you don't have to consider how attractive the woman looks in order to like the character.

Video games usually offer a fictionalized version of what the average man wishes was normal. Either glorification of an average sized ding dong or super sized boobs. No polygonal vagina has ever appeared in a major game.

You saw Faith in Mirror's Edge but her body was arguably canonically legitimate considering she was an athlete who ran across buildings and did other crazy parkour stuff for a living.

Outside of the obvious fan service parts, I've thought Lara Croft has been similar considering the gymnast, climbing, etc. stuff she does in the game.

The only thing canonically legitimate about Faith is that her face was butt-fuck ugly.

Samus was best when you got the tiny glimpse of her face reflecting in her visor in Metroid Prime from explosions and such.

It was like showing a little wrist or ankle action.

I like Faith's character design well enough, but how the player character looks isn't all that big of a deal in mirror's edge imo. I'd rather fuck a colorblock bodypillow than jerk it to faith, u know?
