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.

*sigh*

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

Shoot me.

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.

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

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

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.

I already have that game, look at my first post in this thread.
