Why does Street Fighter resort to this?

I got that game on PS3. I should really play it, but I gotta force myself to finish peacewalker on shitty PSP emulators.

And yep, the longer threads go on, the more it tends to do that

I think you scared Plotmaster off from replying to me

which is a shame because I feel like I have a better chance of "converting" him than you do

because you two obviously don't like each other

It mirrors oversexualization

Sure, it draws immediate attention, but it immediately dies off after the initial response.

Yeah Luciana, I thought you said that it was the only MG game you weren't going to finish?

Did my raving about it's quality change your mind?

Also I'd recommend buying the PS3 version above else. I just played it a few days ago for the first time and it's far better on there. It's a lot like MGS4's character movement.

i'm not sure if I follow this analogy

oversexualization doesn't die off

In terms of the attention it receives, yeah. Mouthbreathers don't have the attention span to commit to a game beyond looking at sexy designs.

Elai · August 27, 2015, 09:30:53 PM

I think he's talking about the intellectual value of an oversexualised character

at first there's something to look at (talk about on a forum) but upon further inspection there's nothing of substance underneath.

What you're telling me is that because something doesn't affect you, it doesn't matter. If you believe that, well, you're a sociopath. A little sympathy goes a long way.

I'd be more sympathetic if this hurt anything aside from your oversensitive morals.

Quote

Why not both?

They weren't going to get my money anyways; I don't really like Street Fighter. What do I do about it if I can't "vote with my wallet"?

Oh wait, exactly what I'm doing.

Well then, there's little else you can do about it from here. They're not going to read anything you write, so you're wasting your own time. You could donate the $60 you could have spent on the game to charity, if you'd like. That'd be a more worthy use of it, I think we'd both agree, and much more important than exaggerated female anatomy in fiction.

I've already explained the domino effect of our discussion.

Even if you repost this same thread on every forum you can find, you still won't change anything.

But hey, if you're willing to do something about it, go ahead. Are you going to write to Capcom directly? Start a petition? Try to rally outside Capcom's headquarters? That'll cause them to rethink it.

It isn't Jakeybear himself that I dislike, it's his retarded insistence that everyone think the way he does. "I hate sexuality" is a perfectly acceptable thing to say. "I hate sexuality, and so should you" is just silly.

But no one will ever know since they spend more time with their hands on their dicks rather than the controller.

Unless I can explain why. Which I have. Multiple times.

Verbatim · August 27, 2015, 09:40:41 PM

If I can logically demonstrate something to be wrong, it would be irrational to disagree with me.

Sorry.

Unless, of course, you have some sort of counterargument. And no one ever does!

This doesn't affect me at all. I'm a dude, as you probably know.

There are TONS of girls who do not appreciate this sort of shit. The whole feminazi movement should be enough to convince you of that.

I do it for them. Because even if something that is wrong doesn't affect me, I have the sense to deem it wrong and fight it.

Now that probably sounds like white-knighting or whatever but I think it means something to say that I do this for everything that I deem an issue.

Quote

That's exactly my point. The only thing I can do about it, is talk about it. Protest.

Or as some people would say it, exactly what I'm doing right now.

Quote

I don't expect them to.

But people on their forums? On Twitter (where I'm pretty vocal about it as well)? On their YouTube channel or article comment sections?

I can't tell you how many developers follow the same people I do, and read the same articles I do, and look at the same comments I do.

But I guess that not doing anything is better than doing something, right?

Even if one person takes away what I've said here today and says "Hmm, you know what? He was right?" I've succeeded.
