I'm 28 and have a ton of Deadpool shirts from well before the Deadpool movie, years back. The other day I saw a 12 yearold kid wearing the EXACT same DP shirt I had in my closet. It was NOT a fun day. Also, my poor wardrobe

I thought the positive equivalent thing happen to me last summer when I saw a couple kids wearing shirts I used to own as a teen at a Rancid/Dropkick Murphys show.

I know we are required to read Animal Farm and answer the 20 questions Benji provides us to make sure we "understand it."  but this action just seems, somehow,
un-actionable.

Has any woman come out and said this is a thing? Like how can you “force” someone to do this?

Coercion, how does it work ?

So my SO is marathoning through this, and every once in a while I catch a glimpse of it. Every fucking time there's some sort of joke in this show, it is the corniest shit ever. The fake AF laugh track playing in the background makes it even more annoying.

Doing some quick googling, this show is pretty well rated and some even consider it one of the best shows ever. Why do I wanna punch the cast so bad? Is Friends actually good and my perceptions on it are wrong?

The latest (now-locked) Lara Croft thread is further proof that gamers badly need a huge dose of feminism in their lives.

To say I am disappointed would be a dramatic understatement. Frankly, I'm sickened. Totally sick of this sort of behavior and it's even creepier that there are dudes flying in to defend that sort of behavior, as though there were ever any merit to it in the first place. Gotta defend their right to objectify, I guess. After all, when you're so used to having that sort of privilege, anything resembling equality apparently feels like oppression.

Sigh.

 

It’s a shame the thread turned into a wasted potential. We could have had a cool discussion about Lara’s different models and the realistic aspect of the new one.

I also hate these type of threads where we need guys making sure everyone knows how turned on they are, knowing there are women reading as well. How out of touch can you be?

I literally asked a dude if he would behave that way in my presence, and he straight-up said "yes".

I think that says everything about how they feel about what women think.

They think every place is a place for them to do what they want - which is pretty much why when they were told to knock it off and get back to the actual thread topic, somehow they turned it round to them being persecuted. Like, huh?

Gaming is their safe space, and they'll do whatever it takes to keep it that way.

I'm sickened, disgusted, but sadly, not surprised. There seems to be a pride in how pig like and sexist gamers can be and its just so frustrating.

 

Yes, the thread was a sad read.  The comments in regards to the swimming gif, the people saying the woman from The Last of Us Part Two looks mannish, the comments saying Lara gained weight/looked chubby, and the "Aloy looks ugly" rehash really shows how women are seen.

 

Which is why it’s great we have active mods who don’t allow that gross behavior

 

Bonus:

Perspective on the matter of lewdness, seeing her on her dafualt outfit one "might get used" to her body figure, while her peach outfit hides some of her featurs till you get the eye candy shots.

I personally thing her default outfit is worst cuase imo is just her naked but with black color tint over, so I played with link or Samus suit

[bork]

Haven't checked that thread in a while.  It's a goldmine.

So here's a great video analyzing the sexualization of women in Xenoblade 2:



And as always, don't read the fucking comments.

Yes, don't read the comments...talk about "safe spaces."

Great well-thought-through video, quite an elegant summary of the character design conversation surrounding XB2 that we had here. Some good links afterwards too.

 I couldn’t avoid looking at the comments though... here’s an example:

Your point being? Do you hate breasts? Curves? ... You're appalled by exaggerated proportions? Get over yourself dude, you're a man, not a woman. Act like one.
Oversexualization is nothing new in character design. The only problem I have, is with feeble-minded people like you, standing up for a misguided, unintelligent notion of feminist propaganda.

Don't get me wrong here, feminists are fine. It's just the vocal minority of them that no one should give a rat's a** about. Including this sensitive gentleman who wrote this article.

[paprikastaude]

That thread is a virtue lighthouse.

[Propagandhim]

They so badly want to penetrate the bubble of normative gender sex politics in Japanese game development and media, but they can't and it's killing them.  They're wailing everywhere and making all kinds of posts and videos, but the people that matter either don't know they exist or see them as fringe oddities.  It's a kind of desperation that's funny to watch.  That Xenoblade video is 53 minutes long.

@ me when someone realizes that Lara Croft isn't nearly jacked enough to have a realistic body for what she does in her games instead of arguing if she's too fat or if wearing revealing clothes is harmful to the mind.

Yeah, let's argue over how "realistic" the character in a game where you do all kinds of impossible athletic shit, kill entire armies single-handedly, and deal with magical artifacts and creatures and shit is, brehs.

[HaughtyFrank]

Also @ me when they realize none of these "women" are real and therefore it doesn't matter what they're wearing.

Oh, they know that they aren't real, it's their standard response whenever someone says something akin to "it fits to their personality". Unfortunately they then quickly forget that and complain that the not real woman is objectified

[paprikastaude]

It's okay, you might even play the new Tomb Raider with your kid. Just go whenever Lara Croft's t-shirt gets wet.

[Propagandhim]

Yeah, but all those rock climbers have small tits, ergo, big titties on Lara are not realistic.    Let's go halfway - you stuff those ripped broads in a pair of unisex JNCOs and give them all an Amy Schumer ass and have Eidos use them for the Lara model and I'll promise to let my girlfriend let me let our son let me have the game in the apartment that she's letting me stay in.

Why aren't these rock climbers wearing full body armor? How unrealistic

Video game characters have rights and feelings too, bro

"WOMEN ARE NOT OBJECTS!!!!!"

"But these are video game characters."

"THEY'RE NOT OBJECTS!!!!!!"

"They're literally objects on the screen.  That's what video games are.  You're controlling objects in the game and interacting with other objects."

He thinks the she looks like a Mexican.

Yeah, just realized that.  Between the photos and the video it just looks like a white girl to me.

She was pulled over for going 87 in a 70 zone so it wasn’t profiling...

Video game characters are being made into objects because of the outfits they're wearing

cosplayers wearing literally the exact same outfit arent objects for you to leer at

Speeding way over the limit in a foreign country, not carrying a passport. Sounds like a white girl to me

Yeah but they’re on metric in Canada. There, 87kph is akin to doing a leisurely 55mph. That pig wasn’t being mindful of her Canadian heritage. If you can’t see how this is racist we’ll i literally can’t even.

Also, She’s a white girl. Lame ass bitches don’t speed. Fucking white people.

I wonder how Reee would reconcile the fact that my wife, a lady with lady parts, has a 3d anime boobs mouse pad/hand rest.

That she doesn't realized how oppressed she is.

[HaughtyFrank]

Reboot Lara is ugly and masculine.

You could've just typed "Hi, I'm Plumpbiscuit, I'm a sexist who's threatened by muscular women with realistic proportions" and you would've gotten the same message across.

Extremely lean, muscular, vascular. Ironically, the original versions of Lara Croft is more realistic for the physical activities performed in the Tomb Raider games than the "realistic body type" version they're cheering on.

Yeah. I can at least understand their point of view when it comes to women wielding swords in nothing more than a bikini. It doesn't really make sense. Lara Croft on the other hand has always worn clothing that is realistic and wouldn't seem out of place in the real world. If you saw someone on a hiking expedition dressed similar to Lara Croft, you wouldn't even bat an eyelid.

[FStop7]

Also @ me when they realize none of these "women" are real and therefore it doesn't matter what they're wearing.

Odd how they want to apply the fluidity of gender identity to biological sex now.

It’s definitey a refinement of the “ghostbusters 2016” marketing strategy.

I also think the movie infantilizes Africa. It blends all of their cultures into one Omni-culture and then uses noble savage tropes to tell it’s story.

I never quite understood why something like Xenoblades 2 is the most problematic and harmful thing ever while Nicki Minaj shaking her ass everywhere isn't. The latter arguably has a much larger effect on young women then fucking videogames.

In terms of video games I think it is the so-called affect it has on boys more than it is girls. Of course the same argument you made applies either way.

[etiolate]

If you look at it as a social impact/cultural/political statement, the story of Black Panther is somewhere between nonsensical and disturbingly insulting.

It's a twist on the noble savage story while placing its antagonist as a pretty simple minded violent revolutionary.  Somehow a macguffin meteor brought super technology and peace to a part of Africa without any exchange of ideas with the rest of the developing world. It doesn't reflect societal evolution at all.

However, its a great mystical setting with the crossroads of African settings, tribal dresswear and magical technology. And then it goes into awful CGI fights, but its at least a mystical magical story if you treat it like the comic book it is.

Instead of some sort of brilliant statement.

You actually can win: by disengaging from fanatics and their forums or groups.  I know it's hard because it's such a spectacle and it's compelling to see just how far off the deep end people will go when packed into herds, but it does rub off.

They also got history wrong as in they created the protective dome way too late (post WW2 or during WW2 according to the animation).

Vibranium plot device or not Rommel and the Africa Corps would've steamrolled them back in '42 easily.
