the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.
How is Bayonetta any more disgustingly disproportionate than Zero Suit Samus, R. Mika or Quiet?
Quote from: Fruitcake on December 15, 2015, 08:42:12 PMHow so? Is it also intuitive that a man wouldn't play a game that exploits his gender? I'm not following your train of thought on this oneWell, yeah. I wouldn't watch a movie like Magic Mike XXL because I think Channing Tatum is a disgusting sex symbol who is used as a puppet to exploit the male gender.When it comes to male exploitation, it's easier to use films as an example rather than games. If Magic Mike had a game, I wouldn't play it, because I consider Magic Mike to be a little bit misandric.QuoteI probably don't count but, one of my favourite games ever is The Witcher 3 (Coincidentally an RPG), and there's definitely a lot in that game that you'd consider misogynistic. But it fits in the universe of the world and the characters display more than just sex appeal. It's also a world full of some pretty grim stuff, I'd find it more weird if that kind of stuff wasn't included. It makes sense for the game to have it, and I'm not going to scream misogyny, the game does it well. I just have a different view on sexuality, which is basically what this is boiling down to.I won't deny that there's games out there that can play with sexuality in a way that isn't offensive, but I've just seen it happen so very little. To use another film example, I don't know if you've seen Requiem for a Dream, but towards the end, there's a very gruesome sex scene. It's not titillating at all--it's supposed to be sad and almost terrifying. And I wouldn't consider that misogynistic--and it was a necessary part of the story.So that sort of thing is possible, but it's just very difficult.

Because none of them look like they ran afoul of Procrustes.
Quote from: Caped Baldy on December 15, 2015, 09:07:48 PMBecause none of them look like they ran afoul of Procrustes.I have no idea what that is,
I didn't think anyone would. You should catch up on your Greek mythology.
As long as the sexuality is handled tastefully, it's passable. Bayonetta's is not. Samus is not.
Don't know who r mika is.
Bayonetta is like just weird as fuck looking. Like her legs are longer than any real humans and her hips are like twice as wide as the rest of her and shit.
I also never said any of those characters are good examples of sexy and strong.
Depends what games in the Metroid series tbh, primarily other m though
But why so mad about a character thats existed for years?Classic Verbatim
Quote from: Batch on December 15, 2015, 09:27:07 PMBut why so mad about a character thats existed for years?Classic VerbatimBecause it took the position of a potentially useful and interesting character in one of his favourite game series.
not to mention he was hyping this the fuck up
But he's going on about feminism and so on...
TBH im surprised he's not more mad about Corrin. He fucking hates FE: Fates

Quote from: aMetroid on December 15, 2015, 09:21:42 PMDepends what games in the Metroid series tbh, primarily other m thoughI'm not expert, but I'm pretty sure this is her most canon and iconic appearance:
most people who don't play metroid would have no idea that was samus. I certainly didn't until she was in smash without the suit. Hell my girlfriend thought samus was a boy until recently
Now that I think about it, Darth Vader would've been perfect for that game. Super Force Tornado Final Smash anyone?

Hell my girlfriend thought samus was a boy until recentlyThat's what I like about Samus. She was genderless until the end, and then you realised, "Hey, I just enjoyed a game where I played as a girl. And she wasn't helpless, she was a badass."But then you also realised that she was basically wearing nothing, and when you die, your suit "falls off". It makes me question why they'd do something like that.So what's the point of a skin-tight, high-heel wearing curvaceous Zero Suit Samus if she's such a badass when you strip (not intentional) her of these things?

Are you fucking for real?FE has more representation than Zelda now.But yeah no, Bayonetta broke the camel's back.However, I've tried out Cloud, and he's actually pretty fun. So there's that.
Okay, I'm not actually "done" (but I still hate the fuck out of Bayonetta)
