Forget slogans like "Do! Do! Do!" using run of the mill boy pop groups or in-game pics of the damsels of DOA in teeny bikinis, just like the pic from DOA Extreme 2 above.
All you need is…………………..
There are actually tons of games/movies coming out where the female characters are looking strong and geared up but it would be kind of interesting for a certain group of people to play a male version of Dead or Alive.
If we want less of something why would adding more of the same thing make it better? That's a terrible argument. Its like telling people who want less guns that giving everyone a gun is the answer.
We're not really talking about something that can kill you but more on something that could appeal to a different audience. On this topic it's unfortunately impossible to please everyone. I personally just play any character. Whether the guy is half naked or the girl is half naked. It doesn't bother me because it's simply a game character.
There you go with that "we" again. You are one of the few raging liberals here.
And you managed to sneak in the ever popular gun grabbing theme in there as well. Grats.
Now I'm a liberal? Can you stop with the labels because you don't know what I stand for, I'm not speaking in terms of N4g members I'm speaking in terms of the industry altogether.
Kalebninja is right. We don't really get anywhere labeling people like that. I could easily say you're one of the butt hurt conservatives, but that doesn't really get us anywhere. He's just making a point, not pushing an agenda on guns. How about we leave political ideologies to the side, and keep it to what's happening with video games.
That being said I don't think it will change the minds of people who are upset with the way women are portrayed. I think the better example is women who get upset for the sexualization feel similar to black people who see black characters eating fried chicken or watermelon. I don't think showing white people breaking iPhones and eating hummus would make them feel better. Also, it's freedom of expression for people to be upset, and unless you hate freedom you can stop being a baby and suck it up.
What do you want instead? Every female character wearing a burka and the males flashing all?
* I don't get how it's "sexualizing" when REAL humans in REAL LIFE actually look like a lot of these video game characters either man or women.
Then there's no point in explaining to you, it's not something that's hard to understand.
What is it with you and your silly immature agenda against everything sexual, Kalebninja?
I wonder if you ever had a healthy sexual relationship with another human being.
I'm not against everything sexual, and I never said i was in fact i stated that i wasn't a few times but you seem to think you can read a couple of comments and im an open book. But of course since this is the internet you'll assume what you want and call me silly and immature because you disagree with me AND disrespect me because you can, but I'm the immature one. Mind you there are plenty of people who actually are against everything sexual but I doubt you'd have the audacity to walk into a church and call them silly.
It all plays so well for you exactly because this is the internet. Do you even read your own posts? The only thing you do when it comes to this stuff is spinning it the way it fits your argument.
You're constantly doing the same thing over and over. Giving an argument but if you spark a conversation about it and people don't agree wih you, you go into full on defense mode.
Just look how you replied to 3-4-5 and Deadpooled.
But funny that you mentioned calling people in a church stupid because this is exactly what i did when i was 14 when i had my communion. Don't get me wrong i' not proud about that. I was a silly teen.
I should point out for you that i never called you stupid in fact i think you must be a real clever and intelligent person. A diamond in a rough i think it's called. I just called your agenda stupid.
Heck, the more i think about it the more i actually want to have a real conversation with you. Maybe someday and all issues aside we should join a ps party if you game on ps and play some games and have a real conversation about our views of the world and what videogames should be and what not.
Meh my only problem is when it's in your face, adds nothing valuable, and is basically the equivalent of clickbait.
What if I want sexualized game characters? Current game characters aren't sexualized enough. Perhaps an option where you can choose vanilla or sexualized would be nice.
I guess if it's not for no reason besides to sell the game I wouldn't have an issue. Like I have no problem if it's a porn game, or a game that wants to have female characters that are three dimensional AND being sexy is part of their character. If a horror game that tries to be scary throws bikinis on the female characters I would find it silly.
What are you even talking about dude? I don't push for censorship. I think you can do or say whatever you want in this world as long as you're not trying to seriously hurt someone. The only caveat is that anyone can be judged, protested, or not liked for doing such. Everything has consequences, and people need to understand that. I have no agenda or real dog in this fight, besides not wanting people to act like assholes to each other. I vote with my money, and that's the most I do to push my "agenda."
I never actually saw the GAP thing, but your linking to the Blaze tells me that your claim of not being conservative is far from accurate. I mean that girl is kind of in a weird position, and it looks awkward. I wouldn't make a fuss, but if I was there when they were looking over the photos I'd probably use one where a girl wasn't just standing around looking frankly pretty unhappy. Mostly because "happy" and "fun" sells nearly as well as sex.
As for your video, I'm in full agreement with the white guy with the ugly hair. He has every right to look like a dufus, but I also have the right to think dreads on white people looks ugly as sin. Maybe if he was running around in black face eating KFC I'd feel he was in the wrong, but that's not the case here.
Look friend, I don't care what you believe, but you need to understand you're living your life with some serious paranoia. To lump me in with the likes of the two in your video is pretty funny, because they'd probably hate me.
Part of an article:"As a gay man myself, even if it did not tackle the social issues of the day regarding gender imbalance and equality"
First world problem - when women don't go to work in STEM and wish work less time for the same money - and they call it called imbalance.
Third world problem - you are killed for being gay or a woman without hijab.
I just...i just refuse to accept the people in civilized countries fell so deep. In desire to be "HEROES" and in absence of really big social issues they over exaggerate every miniscule matter or even make things up.
Pathetic sc*m.
I don't go out of my way to fight for women's rights, which is why I don't consider myself a feminist, but as a minority I can understand what it's like for something to make you feel bad based on a portrayal for your group. I'm kind of on the let's not be dicks train, where we hear people out, and at least understand why they're upset. Not saying we need to change things for every voice, because that would be silly. However ignoring a large minority of people is not something that should happen, because there might be something that those who are in the majority (or another group) might not see or understand.
The issues at play are worth discussing, and marginalizing them due to greater injustices is not the way to go. In our society, we don't have to worry daily about some of the things people have to worry about in other parts of the world, which allows us the opportunity to focus on other issues which also should be resolved.
I feel the specifics being focused on are the wrong thing to be focusing on if one is trying to solve specific problems, as there are bigger cultural and societal reasons for the way things are, and some, if not all, of these norms and perceptions were centuries in the making, and not all of them were for reasons of oppression. Basically, some groups focus on the superficial outcome of the greater issue that needs to be addressed first, thus changing nothing in the grand scheme of things, and only annoying people in the process.
However, I will agree that the tact taken to discuss these issues is usually pretty ineffective, and not effective except to heighten tensions between those who feel oppressed, and those who don't really care or are seen as the oppressors.
