What's your cup size? You're doing Dead or Alive a grievous injustice - there's a whole range of racks in there!ViaGalactica said:Okay, first, yes. What's wrong with variety? Why should every character be a white, straight male? Are male gamers so close minded that they could not handle playing with a black man, a gay woman, a muslim child?
The problem people have with the Duke Nukem feature -- to clarify: I do not have a problem with it. I think it's immature and boring, but eh, what else can one expect from Duke Nukem? --- is that unlike the alien killing, getting slapped in the ass does happen to women. And it's games like this or shows with a similar standing, that promote these behaviours. Ask any woman, chances are some douchebag has, at some point, slapped her in the ass or copped a feel just because she was there. When it's something that DOES happen to us, it's not fun watching it be triviliazied in a lulzy way on a videogame. Shit, if it was a serious game about the wrongs of sexual harrasment no one would give a damn. A better example for your comparison would have been the game CoD:MW1 which clearly involves the American forces in a Mysterious Middle Eastern Country being Big Goddamn Heroes. It's something that's loosely based on reality, and that's why some people don't like it. You wouldn't be able to pass Racist rhetoric in a video game and claim it's just for the lulz, because like with sexism, racism is still existant and prevalent in our society.
(Also, lol at the WWI comment. Seriously, why not complain about the men who, while the soldiers were fighting, were delighting themselves in feasts sponsored by their inherited money? Nah, only the girls who were Working -- yes, stripping is a job -- are the ones who had undeserved money.)
Also, hello there, blatant generalizations! What makes you think women don't have 'Hero Fantasies.' Shit, dude, I know this might be hard to swallow, but, women do have 'Hero Fantasies' because, get this dude, women can like the same things that men like. And -- hear this -- sometimes, we tend to have the same fantasies as men! But maybe that means we are not proper girls because we all know that TRUE WOMEN should be docile and sweet and dream about babies and cake not about kicking ass or being a bad ass hitman. Yeah, fuck that. This are not the 1950s, your gender roles are now considered backwards, stupid and ignorant.
Blimey, it's like people don't get the point. The huge racks, amazing asses and never ending close-up of cleavages do not matter so long as the characters are well developed. I've said it before. We don't care as much about the looks as you think we do. Yes, not every woman is a shallow, insecure ***** who will go to a corner and cry everytime someone with a bigger cup size appears on the screen. No, we don't throw our arms up in the air in frustration when we see someone with amazing legs. And by the sevenhundreth closeup of Female Sidekicks A's tits we've stopped giving a damn about the fanservice. Personality is far more important than looks.
Men, women are not trying to take over the industry. We are not going to storm into your houses and replace your shooters collection with Strawberry Shortcake's Extreme Adventure 2: The Quest of Tampons and Chocolates. Nor are we going to stop developers from including a Male main character. No, men. We do not want to ~dominate~. We want decent representation. Like the one you tend to have. That's all we want. Good, well-developed female characters. (PS: We promise we will leave the PC Police at the door.)
