Well, NOW I know I've been doing it wrong this whole time. I wish I had gotten the memo sooner. Looks like I better cancel my Skyrim preorder, people. I have a dress up game to play.

even better, it'll be ignored in favor getting head shots, or leveling up *insert MMO Class here*, or playing some thing fun.KarmaTheAlligator said:
Tell me, ladies of the Escapist, if I were to abandon my graduate studies in the sciences and become a car washer, would one of you finally date my forever-alone ass? Oh, I'll even change my name to Car Washer, or Taco Bell Server, or how about this, Truck Driver? You want money? Sure, here's $50/day for your most wonderful company. I typically hang out at some nondescript "Club" in my work clothes if you want to talk or something.
I'm not sure what everybody's problem with this thing is. It's clearly a satirical masterpiece showing how the mindless consumerist culture of our modern times have reduced the individual woman to nothing more than an empty shell obsessed with climbing some imagined social ladder by attaining financial security from the clearly more important male, which she will then use to obtain more stuff to further climb said ladder, thereby gaining more material wealth and a newsugardaddyboyfriend, which will enable her to start the same cycle over again. It's this, isn't it? Please tell me this isn't for real...
In all seriousness, I wonder why Car Washer is so comfortable with paying his, erm, "girlfriend" every day. This may just be the worst message of the entire game...

It does feel pretty sexist. Try finding a game for men that is like this. You have to have a boyfriend who, and this is important, gives you money. That is what pisses me off!
Boyfriends are ranked by how much money they give the girl a day. WTF? I think this game offensive to both genders. Seriously I'm not a money machine and I'd never date someone that treated me as such.
This is my personal GOTY contender, possibly the best life simulation game released this year.
I find the boyfriend daily limit completely broken though, went for a gold digger build strat but as you can only get money from 1 boyfriend per day it's kinda pointless

Between the boyfriends name being his job and his only use being a social prop (you can't go to the party without a bf! :O) and being a better source of income then finding a job yourself this goes way past being offensive and goes full circle into being absolutely hilarious.xXxJessicaxXx said:
I am going to name my first born child Car Washer. That way when the evil witch is defeated my son can say... "Yeah. I was there. I dated the hero, before she was cool."
The amount of money Car Washer will make the family in royalties from his tell all biography will be GLORIOUS

It's quite possibly the most hilarious thing i've read recently.
And why would us, as males, take it as offensive that we are seen as cash machines for our women?
Comedians have been doing that since the dawn of the funny.
Chubby Brown joke for you. Why do women need a man? Because vibrators can't buy the drinks.
Besides, my daughters know my rules on dating. They can date when they turn 40 or when i'm dead ..... whichever comes latest.
Only needed to have one conversation about sex in which I told them everything they will ever need to know ...... they will never have any ...... EVER.
But the main reason some of us don't find it offensive is the stick fell out of our arse many, maaaaany years aqo and we now take things about as seriously as Katie Price's (attempted) singing career (well, she managed one song with her ex and attempted to enter Eurovision for us but she sounds like a cat being slowly buggered with an electric whisk).
In closing, life is far too short and too amusing to take shit like this seriously and get offended by the slightest pathetic crap the internet vomits up.
Lighten up, you'll enjoy yourself more.
Awwwwww, that's real cute.Monxerot said:
1)Yeah, and? I found the article amusing.
2)No, i don't, read some of my other posts in this thread.
3)...Problem?
The only reason I said it was becuase lately there has been many threads saying that sexism has turned in the favour of women. They are full of people who agree with the OP 100%...Rawne1980 said:
The fact that you all think this is hilarious after those threads end up being 10 pages long is slightly odd to me.
But I guess you all don't really think its true... You can't compain about men being treated as the clowns in commercials and suchlike if something like this, which is actually derogatry to men, is laughed off. I kind of find the fact that the boyfriend doesn't even have a name slightly horrific and I'm a woman.
The whole stealing from an evil witch thing sounds really cool. A master thief working for the good of all by doing what society usually looks down upon. Plus the magical elements invites all sorts of neat possibilities for setting and character design. It makes me wonder just what happened along the way that made this game what it is....
