Dead Island Torso Statue: Misogynistic? Stupid? Both? Neither?

[VitorRammstein]

Well I think it isn´t misogynistic at all. Ok, it depicts the torso of a breasty woman, I know. But this is clearly a marketing move, not just to cause women to go up in this sort of hatred and to go yelling that this is a disrespect blabla...

If it was a man´s torso would people be making this sort of comments? Would guys just going to say it disrespects our image? Face it, it was a genius marketing move to get us talking about it!

People need to relax and see things from different perspectives, it is the same thing as when we kill a black man in a game, everyone shouts "RACISM", but if it is a white man (as in most games) we say its completely fine... People!!! Just sit back and enjoy things for what they are and stop going over the edge at every little thing!

As for the statue, it serves its purpose (marketing), I would not want it because I think it is irrelevant to the game and although gory (I love gore)it has no purpose whatsoever to exist and it isn´t pretty at all...

That you misquoted me shows you're not worth further attention.

Don't fucking do it again.

Fixed. Sorry about that.

Also, have you considered switching to decaf?

Oh you just mixed up the names, sorry... thought you'd put other words in my fingers.

you could make a decent argument that it's misogynistic, but i doubt it was designed with that in mind. It's stupid and the whole concept just paints gamers as being immature man-children, with a very narrow lane of interest.

So...basically...it was a really bad idea.

I imagine it'll be a hit for that minority demographic who like amputee porn.

Ok, that made me laugh, congratulations.

OT: I think it's just fuck ugly. If it was a male torso, it would also be fuck ugly. Is it sexist? Maybe, but then pretty much everything that is designed to pander to male gamers is. Is it misogynist? I don't know, I don't know enough of the semantics of the term to comment fully.

It really does pain me to bump this, and I haven't read anyone else's post about this topic but to put it simply I just wouldn't buy it if it was a muscle mans chest covered in blood...

Now I am a bisexual male and I am physically attracted to man and women, but I cant imagine why anyone would want a muscle man torso as a thing x.x I don't even think females would want it.

Again I really hate that I am bumping this bit of stupidity

Hey you can even hate me for bumping it I really do feel bad
