Also, Makoto is in a schoolgirl outfit.
No, she isn't. One of her alternate costumes is, and it's still not revealing at all.

What about Poison? Being a trap and all?
Irrelevant, because that's not my point. I never said Street Fighter contains no sexualization--but it does contain great examples of female characters who aren't sexualized.

Again. Try to read into things.

So you think that Sexualization of Males is okay? A lot of the males in SF are very sexualized as well.

Why in the fuck would I think that sexualization of males is okay?

Shoot me.

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
Also, Makoto is in a schoolgirl outfit.
No she isn't,  she wears a gi.

Yeah. It helps to know what the fuck you're talking about before trying to argue something, huh.

I'm not a feminist as much as I'm an anti-sexist. An anti-exploitationist.

I'll try to explain Verb's point differently:

He doesn't support sexual lyrics explicit content at all. Be it male or female. In such a case that you just must have a game despite that, he would recommend you buy it preowned so that such content isn't rewarded. Most of the sexual content in Street Fighter 4 is DLC, which is 98% fanservice in the first place; either way, it's not in the vanilla game and so you can't judge it based on outside influences.

*sexually explicit content

Sexual lyrics are a-okay with me, as long as a substantive statement is being made ;)

But no, me saying "just buy it used" or answering "meh, go ahead" to the question of "would you approve of me pirating this game that you find reprehensible", that obviously just means that i want everyone to pirate everything and i want the industry to burn down if it doesn't support my agenda

Auto correct is a blessing and a burden.

it should also be noted that i'm not just an uptight prude

there's nothing wrong with sex--there's just an overabundance of it in our culture, and it's used as a selling tactic far too often

despite its shallowness, it's often used as a substitute for any real substance your product might have

i'm perfectly capable of enjoying a female character without being reminded that she is indeed female (in the most jejune stereotypical way)

100% of the time, it's awkward and embarrassing to have to play as these characters with other people in the room.
that shouldn't be a thing

soulcalibur is horrible with that last bit

90% of the female cast in that game is sexualized (complete with breast physics) for the sole purpose of keeping perverted twelve-year-old males and lonely twenty-year-old males interested

but it does contain a rare male example of a character who uses sexual imagery in a creative, smart way--Voldo.
too bad they can't do that with any of the female characters.

LOOK! BOOBS! AREN'T YOU INTERESTED IN THIS GAME NOW!?

If you haven't played it yet you should try out BlazBlue.
Even though it has a ridiculous learning curve...

First five minutes are mirror matches so you can skip them if you want. And yes, I know that the voice in the backgorund is annoying.

Ah. In this case you should give Mortal Kombat a try.
