Enslaved is pretty much a metaphor for a typical relationship. I think you know what that headband represents.
Either way, the woman makes the rules.

The machines are called slavers and enslave humans. The whole fight you go through is to keep from getting captured.Kenko said:
No post mate. Did you mean to post something? you can edit it in (not meant with malice, but to inform)mchoueiri said:
I know, but its called Enslaved, and you are Enslaved whilst being hunted by Slavers. I doubt it matters who enslaves who. This thread is silly. Why are people so surprised that your character is Enlsaved when the game has that very name?Celtic_Kerr said:

And its really not a female sex fantasy. Have you taken a look at how huge his biceps are?
Really, OP, if you think this is an expression of secret desire, you've got it all wrong. The persisting fantasies of the ideal man is that he is so infatuated with you, he would do anything for you without a moment's hesitation. Sweeps you off your feet. Having to enslave them would feel pathetic.
I'm not certain of the whole story of Enslaved, but as said before, he's blatantly based on Sun Wukong.
OK, so he's based on the MODERN interpretation of the Monkey King. But still, he has a stick.
Then the Monkey King hears of some important pilgrimage and is all like, "I'll help 'em if you get me outta this rock!" and the divine peeps are all like, "K." Some bodhisattva (Can't remember which) is all like, "Its dangerous to go alone, take this!" and gives the pilgrim a magic circlet. The monk then tricks the Monkey king into putting it on, and the pilgrim uses it to make sure he holds his end of the bargain.
I'm a bit disappointed Enslaved's Monkey isn't wearing stripes; in the version I read, he killed a tiger to protect the monk and made his outfit out of it before his travels.
In general, though, you need three things to have a goku-themed character: 1. a stick (Preferably red). 2. a connection to monkies. 3. Some sort of vice that makes them vulnerable. Prefrably a circlet or something like that, but the point is that this super-powerful fighter can be brought to his knees by even the weakest of people.
Please, for the love of GOD, add a "Joking" comment to this post. I'm not in a tiff over this, but these kinds of comments encourage the stupidity of people who don't understand this kind of humor.rockyoumonkeys said:
I thought it was kinds an ironic thing, to escape slavers she must be what she fears. More what would you do to survive sort of thing. And it could be argued sexist the other way "oh a woman needs a man to survive". Personally I didn't think sexism at all, I just thought "escort mission."
Also "female fantasy" which ones? Strangely enough this isn't the wife of bath's tale when the question of "what women want" can be answered in one easy go. This in itself is a little sexist to assume that all women can be generalised to "wishing to dominated men" the large number of women I know what equality more then anything. Also some men like to be dominated (perhaps more in a sexual sense, each to their own) as do some women.

Can't say I was shocked. I really wasn't. It's the metaphor that was behind the enslavement, and whether it was seen as a female fantasy that is being looked into.Kenko said:
I have to disagree, as I said above, almost right into them meeting, he tells her "If you're going to survive, you listen to ME" and she does. She never commands him up to where I've played (about half way through)Madara XIII said:
Hey; jokes aside - that was a pretty large research project there, and they found they almost always fall into several categories. It wasn't strictly scientific - was done by an woman's magazine ( demographic skew ), but it was anonymous, and it's still referred to ( almost like the old Kinsey report ).Grahav said:
It's certainly worth reading if you want a peek into such mysteries.
I haven't done my research on this, but hearsay from old friends ended up as professional dom's, apparently there's quite a market; and they seem to think that's not something their customers are getting... (or is it, will ask for ) under other circumstances.Monkeyman8 said:well that fucks my chances for finding a dom girlKeava said:
Which Chinese story though? I've never heard of it
Perhaps equally interesting, two of them are my ex's, and I never would have known they ahd any Dom in them - I think it's roleplay.
I tend to date alpha's, and find even they don't - usually - like a boy they can dominate.
The grain of truth in the "Red Sonja" mythos I suppose.
I can see it being a minor controversy. Really, when FOX news talks about how games are bad it seems like a big deal to us, but most people really don't care. I live in the land of FOX News devotees and never hear anyone complaining about video games.
Female fantasy? Well...considering how good the story is...maybe, but this game is playing a completely different game compared to twilight. The men in that role are fighting for the attention of not just any female, but a pathetic one. The woman isn't like wonder woman, or Samus or even princess peach. If princess peach had a human servant who hid and run around panicking when danger approached that is as close to who Bell Swan is. No strong personality or charisma....heck this makes just as much sense as the MANY anime that have a piece of **** male protagonist who some how gets the attention of the popular/beautiful girls of the school, workplace, etc.Grahav said:
I was put on probation the last time I joked but not totally joked. I lawled at your first post.rockyoumonkeys said:
The circlet in Journey to the West that would shrink if the Monkey King disobeyed, is interpreted by scholars as both a crown and shackle. It is the Yin and Yang of the Monkey King's nature, where though he is serving the monk and under the mercy of the Gods, he is really the group's leader and still manages to commit acts of mischief and courage.
