in all honesty, what's to be gained in winning an argument in an internet forum? a sense of moral superiority? a feeling of worth? some small semblance of success?

This is a poor attitude to have.

Importance is all relative. You can apply what you're saying to 95% of what people do everyday. What are discussion boards for if not for discussion?

discussion is not analogous to argument though. And that discussion is in bad faith, if all you are attempting is the destruction of any other opinion. If 95% of your life is trying to convince people of your opinion, you have a pretty dull life, especially if the opinion you espouse is finding political undercurrents in gaming (which seems to be the #1 topic de jour on gaf/etc)

I'd rather argue every now and then than restrict myself to only opinions I agree with or ignore the ones I don't

Damn, and I have tickets to see him in a few weeks too.

On the other hand, I guess seeing him get booed and people being kicked out would be an interesting show

How dare they insult my Ivy!

You know what?  Ivy stands out-- Instantly recognizable.  Hilde is generic as hell and completely forgettable.


It's nice to see an attempt there to at least try to make a point that "sexy" characters are OK, but the thread is still garbage.  Never get tired of seeing all the people who think females showing skin are "gross" and that characters who are completely covered up are "great designs" for no other reason than that.

I think Rosalina is a good example of sexualised design...

Xenoblade 2 = bad sexual design, the game.

It's honestly embarrassing and a lackluster way to the end the year's Switch lineup.

Except cammy's design makes zero sense.

She is basically using a variation of a doll costume, which means she is basically wearing her trigger for post traumatic stress
And lets not ignore that this is supposed to be the official costume of a military team

Platy is back!   With more nonsensical shit!  
...Never mind that all the other members of said military team have similar costume designs.  Including the male characters.    They all look kind of like acrobats or gymnasts in berets.

Player 1 was not quite ready when he voiced dissent.

I'm not offended by any type of jokes because... they are jokes. I'm not a snowflake.

All I can say is that some women do cry rape for money and even revenge.

My best friend got accused of rape back in 2013. His former girlfriend accused him and he could face many, many years in jail but he had an alibi for the day and time and they also found security camera footage that showed that the former girlfriend was walking outside his job on a daily basis stalking him.

She falsely accused him to get revenge because he dumped her and to get some money. In the end she got arrested and sentenced to jail.

https://www.resetera.com/posts/634843/

Oh c'mon mate, that's a exception not the rule.

And can we please stop using expressions that are typically used by the alt-right? Thank you.

I never said that. I just said that some women do.
I use whatever expressions I like, thank you very much.

I hope this awful post gets bombarded with reports. Jesus...

Awful? Why?

So that's the standard behavior and not the outlier?

I said some women... some.

Get out and take your "women are lying bitches" offensive horseshit with you.

Wow

Hopefully the mods will listen to the bombardment of reports and ban this obvious alt right troll infiltrator. Maybe a plea from the heart from another user might go over better.

Even 2% is honestly terrifying considering how it can affect your life.

Close friend killed himself after he was accused when he lost his job, lost his gf, lost his scholarship, and lost most of his friends. That's in a situation where we had literal video evidence of him being at a party 90 minutes away from where the alleged event happened. He was arrested but never charged. We basically had to put his sister under house arrest with someone watching 24/7 for 2 weeks because she legitimately was planning on murdering the garbage that accused him.

Launch all false victims and rapists into the fucking sun.

Sad! Surely this might...

I agree being falsely accused of something is terrifying. But 2% is a really neglectable number when you compare it to the number of women abused, and to the percentage of women that don't report it because of the fear they have of not being taken seriously or being blamed for it.

And thinking along the lines of this joke is a patriarchal tool used to silence women.

Please shut up about your dead friend, he doesn't matter.

Disgusting thing to say.

Don't want to be accused of rape or abuse? Don't rape or abuse anyone. It is that simple.

But is it really a GAF thread without people specifically mentioning how gross high heels are?

[bork]

She did awesome stuff, is an awesome artist and everything i read about her work points to her being a comedian like Jack Black or Adam Sandler of acting. They proved once and again that they CAN act. But they do what gives then more money. Kinu more than once said her favorite works are the likes of armored core and shadows of mystara. And then she does that BAD design (it is a shitty design EVEN if you ignore the objectification) of the main character of Code of Princess ? The crown looks like a last minute addition like "oh yeah she is a princess". That goes against everything. And the thief from code of princess is a copy and past hoodless D&D SoM thief =P

But whatever.

Helga from that game is a good example of sexy without being objectified in an awesome design that tells a lot about the character

(Image removed from quote.)

That character looks like a NUN.  Definitely a good example of "sexy." 

[HardcoreRetro]

I'm offended by the strategic slit in her dress showing us some of her thighs. Disgusting, cover her up.

[VomKriege]

But is it really a GAF thread without people specifically mentioning how gross high heels are?

I'm not grossed by it however I think it's ridiculous just how pervasive this element is in character design no matter how illogical they are. Especially in pseudo "realistic" or "serious" setting where the character is supposedly an action professional. Breaks my suspension of disbelief pretty hard.

Where the heck is this from?

Don't forget this when your usual suspects try really hard to proclaim that this entire discourse has totally nothing to do with being prude. Though I gotta say that GAF had surprisingly little backlash against Yakuza 0. Mind you, there of course still were a few dumbsacks offended by the fact that a half-comedic game about criminals in a redlight district showed women being objectified, but it thankfully never took over.

They use the same tropes and many in the AA community are in the revival churches already. Olseen and that dude Bieber credits are starting to use there catchphrases. Only a matter of time till i see Ashley Judd on TBN in 18 months or so. I mean fuck watch the interview and that ending with Diane Sawyer "I love you harvey and i hope you can find help"

[Novid]

Thats why i say all movements we see now are inherently conservative. Its right wing vs right wing - there is no left wing movement, and if there was one #metoo would have never exploded as it did.

I actually like Apple, but the cult is real. I don't like that aspect at all.

It has loyal fans but I wouldn't call it a cult. I'm always on the Apple and iPhone subreddits and they're pretty usually critical of Apple's shitty design decisions and things competitors do better (no headphone jack, notch on screen, etc). Honestly, the whole "Apple-sheep" is far more annoying and widespread than the Apple cult.

Watch out guys, he frequents subreddits

Which "realistic" games does this happen in?  Metal Gear Solid V with Quiet, where you play as one man taking on entire armies by yourself and running away from ghosts and shit?     A chick running around with a thong up her rear is hardly the most unrealistic thing about most of these video games.  Where Kojima fucked up with that character is the backstory.  The "photosynthesis" thing is just...lol.  Just stop.  Tell people you wanted a "sexy" character and leave it at that.

[VomKriege]

An example would be Kidman in Evil Within 1, some of the shoes in RE6 (though at least Helena has wide heels, make a little bit more sense) too. Please note I put brackets for realism and seriousness because heh... But still those are soldiers, cops and special agents entering trouble within their duties. Plus I don't think wearing flat sole shoes would radically change any of the designs.
I'm fine with Ada Wong because the character was always exuberant and absurd from the start and she's obviously a femme fatale.
