The reality is most users here live in a first world country and don't understand how insanely fucked up things are in Venezuela. At what point is an intervention reasonable?Most of us want an intervention not because it's the best option, but because it's the only real option that gets anything done at this point.

I'm not Venezuelan but from what I read people in Venezuela want intervention and that's what matters.
My problem is that this article shifts the focus from the people that are actually suffering to the US. That includes everyone I know and love. People are dying in hospitals right now. They don't have food. They don't have water. The national forces are only interested in defending themselves or the fascist government. We have been in this issue for almost a decade. Obama did nothing and Trump has also done nothing. No one has fucking helped Venezuela, except Cuba, Russia and China trying to get oil or power in there (hmm).But thanks NY Times. This surely will help all those people in Venezuela suffering to remember that the US government is also filled with fucking idiots, so just remember there is no hope for you.Please don't reply to this, I'm not in the mood.

The aid convoys aren't UN mandated, are they ? Maybe try to negotiate something at that level before going directly to bombs...?
Funnily enough, aid from Russia and the EU entered via the UN, as it should. Help from Brazil was left at the border to avoid conflict. Red Cross didn't want to participate in the US-Colombian-Chilean help since it was obviously political and did not have the intention of actually helping.
(Image removed from quote.)What do y'all think of my charracter here? (Not my drawing but the character is mine and I had this commissioned). She's an adult, has a midriff but that's really cause it's hot where I live! (Texas).
lol really...Sure could've fooled me. That looks like a little girl, early teens at the most.
Huh? (Image removed from quote.)I don't really see how.
(Image removed from quote.)
So it's an adult then? Her hips are as wide as the adult diagram.Is it the lack of big knockers on her or something?
She's six heads tall.
Six anime heads tall. Look at how large an anime head is in comparison to the heads of realistic humans you presented.
Compare/contrast:(Image removed from quote.)
Titania is a good character yes. However you have to keep note that the style of the artist that drew this was more anime than what you are showing. Fire Emblem is like a more mature kind of setting whereas anime is cartoonish with weird proportions such as the head. From the references I gave the artist it should've came out more "sharper" I suppose? But either way I was satisfied with the result. Perhaps my character would look more like this with a different artist.(Image removed from quote.)
nothing about this says adult. Not the clothing, not the body proportions, not the oversized eyes, not the lack of age lines, not the childish face she's making, not the youthful haircut. Her hips, maybe, but literally everything else says preteen or early teens.get a new artist
I'd chill with the disrespect to the artist. Criticisms are fine but no need to do that tbh.
I'm not disrespecting your artist. It's clear that they want to draw a pervy childish illustration. You don't accidentally make an adult look prepubescent. And if that's what the artist wants to draw, that's what they want to draw. It's up to you to decide if you want this perv representing you or not.
Absolutely ridiculous. I'll end this conversation here.
Don't come in here and ask for our opinions if you're gonna just be mad about them.
lol people thought I was being hostile
It could easily be construed as passive agressive.Your avatar is kinda smirking, so that doesn't help. :p
I mean, you were, but I can understand that it's hard to notice one's own faults?
OFFICIAL STAFF COMMUNICATIONHey, everyone! Please remember that you can disagree with one another without resorting to hostility.
Some is stanning for Jewel now? What has thebire come to?
No, that's exactly what you did. The entire thread last night was shameful at how quickly it got hostile at other that poster and others. A number of women felt insecure, uncomfortable, and hurt watching what happened unfold, which is the exact opposite of what should happen! Many of them (multiple of them regular posters in this thread) have sworn off this thread altogether because of last night. You can have a disagreement with the poster on an image without diving into hostility and then keep digging at it even after the damage has been permanently done!This thread had become more of a community thread over the course of its long existence. If it has become so hostile that women no longer feel comfortable to post here, than maybe we should take a break. At worst, it might be time to close this thread if things can't calm down.
Who's beating around the bush? Even if [USER=8001]Kokonoe[/USER] truly intended for that design to be an adult, he has a fucked up view of how adult women should be portrayed. That image is clearly a pre-teen girl. I'd definitely give the artist a healthy amount of side-eye, and I sure am curious where they were found in the first place. I wonder what their other work looks like.
Oh cool, you misgendered Koko. That's like, neat n shit.
oh please, it's not listed in the profile. I assumed male based off the image they comissioned.
So you're either lying or you can't read lol
"Oh please, I'd have to click on her name to see that! She should have named herself Female so it'd be easier."
You're not fooling us lol
Huh. When I open profile in new tab I see nothing. Did Era remove that from the profile page? This is where I was looking:(Image removed from quote.)In any case, my my mistake.I actually right-clicked and opened in new tab. I thought I remembered seeing gender listed there before, but it looks like I was wrong. Honest mistake.

Wow, the irony in telling a woman that her opinions are hostile and/or passive aggressive, telling women how they should express themselves, and women fighting with each other on how they express themselves, in a thread about women's opinions.
Posts like this make me wonder if we're a little insulated in here. Like, weve determined a series of qualities we measure against our ideals, and then make value judgements. Do we need to take a step back and reexamine our perspective? We have lots of people come in to challenge our viewpoints, but they're all bad at it
It's just all my previous replies were made on the assumption that she was actually a male anime fan, so the posts don't even make sense now that I know she's not. That totally changes the situation and my reaction to it. I'd have never made those posts if I knew she was a woman.
I'm not a "guy" I'm intersex and on my side of the fence I get abuse from BOTH men and women on the daily for trying to create an environement where my intersex ass who's both male and female biologically can be safe in my gaming time and at work .And Whether you bloody like it or not yes you came across as obtuse and seeing you reduce me to "a guy" despite my repeated precision that I am intersex only comforts me in the fact that I shouldn't have given you a second chance so I post that message and back on the mute list you'll go for another trimester ...I qualify myself as "a dude" because in french (the language i'm knee deep into on the daily) there isn't lingusitical room for what I am as an individual everything by the very gearing of the language itself HAS TO BE either/ or ... and there is no room for "well actually from both a biological and hormonal standpoint he's both" ...In that regard english non binary and intersex and Finish non binary and intersex are waaaay more fortuante than me just by the sheer luck of being born in a linguistical group that can have them recognized at least by the language...We don't even enjoy that right over here ...
User Banned (2 Weeks): Continued hostility; Several recent infractions for same.QuoteThis discussion seems quite hostile at this point, so it would be best to disengage.That's what I originally did by putting that poster on ignore temporarly then upon seeing that maybe that person had came around I tried to give the benefit of the doubt uningore her , and the lines I quoted were LITTERALY the very first thing I saw ...I've said it here more than once I'm an INTERSEX dude and although in english I could be using They/Them here in French in my regular life I can't that is depressing and fucked , and fucks with my brain and makes me depressed engouh as it is , it is soul crushingly a privilege I can't enjoy at all . So doing so in english spaces would further down my mental distress and depression .So muting that person for the upcoming trimester is literally me protecting myself .I hope that upon reading me further that person starts ALSO to understand that sexism doesn't only render men nasty but women too and this was a prime example here ...Is it tiring to always have to be the better person ? You bet it is and as intersex I know it all too well ...So it would be cool to not have idiots reducing me as "a guy" , when I spend my time when I'm here every three message reminding folk that I'm neither male nor female because in reality I'm both ...Now I shall take my functional and currently lactating tits out of here because muting wasn't enough given that if you intervened as a moderator is that this person keeps yappin at me ...

I came across this on a friend's facebook feed and I think it's a sobering reminder of just how foreign *actual* sexualization of male characters is to us in mainstream media. The idea of something like this appearing in a AAA game is absolutely bonkers.
Is it really that hard to stop creating art that demeans women?
Just popping in to express my frustration with the way the female characters are handled in DMC5. Did we really need to see both Trish AND Lady naked? Did we really need to have most of their appearances in the story be them either getting their asses kicked or in various states of undress? Did we really need MULTIPLE gratuitous bare-butt shots of both of them?Come on, Capcom. Jesus.
Hey everyone, and I do mean everyone, please stop this fighting. The mod-post isn't just an ornament.To re-iterate: drop the personal attacks, accusations, tone-policing, and meta-commentary. Focus the discussion on art criticism and the character designs themselves. This is what the thread is about.Thank you.

I mean, in anime, fangs are a sign of an underbite or overbite which is a shorthand for a young character. This is usually anime shorthand used to signify someone young or someone immature (i.e. someone with the mind of a child)
I do not feel bad for criticizing the further normalization of infantilized "this is totally an adult, for realziez!" female character designs. If that drives someone away from these types of communities, then that also says a lot of their character, and I very much doubt they would've been open to or learned from less harsh criticism either.

In order to be a good feminist, you have to accuse people of being a pedophile and misgender themshit, didn't know that :v
Real talk though, I appreciate the people who have been able to have a nuanced disagreement on the design. Not so much people who accuse others of pedophilia and misgender them because, assuming good faith, they're too lazy to check.
Honestly, this kind of hostility only serves to make people not be inclined to discuss designs they like out of fear of having serious accusations lodged at them. Especially from guys to boot.
So like, molnizzle, do you intend to edit your post or? lol
And evidently that wasn't the intent. The notion that this is appropriate discussion on a forum that claims to value civil discourse is a really curious one.
Like, it just feels like your expectation is that the level of hostility you exhibit should be met with gentleness. *shrugs* Like, maybe relax if you don't want people to call you out.
Y’all going to ignore the mod warning?
Y'all really. please don't ignore the mod warning. Women are starting to get uncomfortable posting in this thread and that's a bad sign.
The GOP has never fully gone after Bernie before, either. The full weight of their anger was left in reserve for Hillary, this transferred over to AOC
We had a poster, sabrina, actually bow out of discussion because her criticism of the artist was perceived "hostile." Is that where are are at?

That DMC thread is a fucking cesspool. Jesus Christ.Why the fuck are Lady and Trish even naked in the first place? Why is that not what bothers these people when they cry that their 3D asses are being covered up?
I absolutely agree with rras1994 about more male sexualization attempts not solving anything. Would hetero men be up in arms? Sure they would. But that wouldn't suddenly make them lament the same happening to women. Empathy is required for that, and a lot of men lack that period.
Yes, I'm talking about devs. Devs are, more often than not, gamers themselves. I'm both, for example. If we assume they "know, but don't care", that women are made unconfortable; and that even experiencing that disconfort themselves is not going to change their minds, then how in hell do we change the status quo? It's all cool and peachy to talk about "men should listen to women and give a fuck about how they feel", but how do you propose to change that? "Should" is a nice wish, not a battle plan. If we assume men simply don't know any better and mostly don't ever stop to put themselves in the shoes of others less fortunate than themselves, which in this case would be women, then there is still some hope that making them aware of their point of view will change things. This is my own assessment of the situation, not only because it gives us something to work towards rather than give up and watch the world burn, but because I'm a man myself. Hanlon's razor and simple lack of ever having suffered any discrimination explains men's behaviour far better than assuming malice, because, frankly, not ever putting in someone else's shoes is everyone's default behaviour.
And that's also why they had a truck load more fun with a Borderlands (especially 2 and PreSequel) than with say DOOM 2016 ...Because co-op means socializing and fun times together ... (also the revive mechanic combined with a cel shaded outlook makes the mere fact of reviving a mate an awesome moment for them )Hell I can't count the times I had way more fun with ladies on Borderlands , than being stuck with dude friends on any other generic shootbang ...But that's what I was trying to elude to , you don't need to have the game to be "typically feminine" to be enjoyed by ladies just design in such a way that your game doesn't end up being a toxic sludge factory ...Hell why does Armello makes them ladies happy ? Because no ingame voice chat , pre written chat lines pronounced by your chosen hero that are in character , leading to some mild roleplaying being doable on the board . Boom bob's your uncle ladies are havin a blast ...
