Sure, in the same sense muttering 'that's terrible' to your TV when you hear about some recent tragedy counts as 'doing something about it'.

Wrong.

When conversing with people over the Internet, you are relaying information. Durr. You might just relay the information to someone who would actually be willing to do something about it. Shouting at your TV is useless because no one can hear you.

Same deal here, only in this case it's less that nobody can hear you and more that nobody gives a shit. You can have the most brilliantly-written point ever, and it won't change the fact that nobody else on this site wants to join you in your slothful armchair protest.

I just tweeted at Capcom, by the way. Can I be in the sooper cool uber progressive getting-shit-done club now?

You're doing better than you were a minute ago, certainly. Do that more, with more people who care, more widespread, and you might just affect something for once.

Arguing on the Internet is doing something about it. Get over it.

Sure, in the same sense muttering 'that's terrible' to your TV when you hear about some recent tragedy counts as 'doing something about it'. You can smile and think about how much good you're doing while I can smile and think about the boobs that will be in the game despite your efforts (or lack thereof).

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.

Okay. Are any of them actually hurt by fictitious breasts, or are they whining about shit that affects literally nobody? It's stupid and immature, sure, I agree with that, but exactly how are they harmed? Nobody is offended by Ryu's torso-sized biceps or Akuma's borderline-deformed pecs. What stands out about Mika's bizarre and impossible figure? I find it amusing, personally.

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.

I acknowledge that. I'd have more respect for it if you were willing to make actual progress instead of posting the same sort of thread that's been made dozens of times before on this site. No matter how many times you repeat it, you won't change anything.

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.

There's loads you could do. I illuminated a few of your options in my last post. If you really feel this is an issue, do something more than just complain somewhere they won't find it. You say you care about women and how they're represented, but trying to argue for them in such a half-assed way is just insulting.

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.

I'll make you a deal. Rally people on Twitter, on their YouTube channel, on Capcom's website, anywhere that will have a real effect. When you've made a real difference, I'll concede on the matter. I'll even protest alongside you. Does that sound fair?

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

Yet it's still all for naught if you're unwilling to do anything about it.

can we step back for a moment to just look at how far off the rails this thread has become

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 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.

Right, right, that would take effort, and you refuse to do actual work. I understand.

Or, it's not a big enough issue.

stupid fuck

You bring up your loathing of sexuality frequently, so it must have importance to you - enough that you insist that everyone else hate it as well. You're just too lazy to really do anything about it. Easier to stay on the internet grumbling about it, eh?

Quote from: Liquid Plotmaster on August 27, 2015, 08:55:23 PM

And you're a lazy armchair protester who won't actually change anything. What a pair we make.

right, brb let me just head out to the streets to rally about this fucking video game bullshit

Hey, if you're going to take a stance on something, you should go all out, right?

What will arguing about it accomplish?

It may convince more people to be vocal about it. If more people are vocal about it, something good will get done.

But I like boob physics. Boobs are wonderful. This is a great thing.

It's not a perfect solution but it's better than taking things as they are and doing nothing. If you have a more effective alternative I'll gladly make use of it.

Not buying the game will send more of a message than complaining about it here. That'll remind them that they won't get your money if you don't like how they design the game. You've made your point, I get my fanservice, everybody wins. (Well, mostly me. But there's really not a whole lot a few anonymous internet guys on an obscure forum completely unrelated to Street Fighter could do about it anyway.)

I know not a lot of Japanese do this, what I mean to say is that sometimes they take the whole "Sexy Woman" thing way to far, it's not the first time it's happened.

So your point is that we should just ignore it because it's not an isolated incident?

What will arguing about it accomplish?

and dies into hell

In fairness, I'd be going through the motions too if I had to work on the same series for two decades. He never intended to go past the first Solid, so he was basically making it up as he went when all he wanted to do was move on to something else.

So should everyone else.

Shit was fine up until here.

I like fighting games, and I also like boobs. If I can look at the latter while playing the former, even better.

I turned the brownie into ten brownies, then ate them all.

Because ten is better than one.

Ten cancers.

I turned those cancers into brownies...then ate them all.

Become an author. Writing is my only real talent, and I love stories.

That was incredibly immature. Though admittedly I'd probably have less sympathy if it were a guy instead.
