Re: Skimpy female armour in MMO's.
Too long didn’t read all of it.
As a woman with raving bi- tendencies “more bewbs” is actually
awesome from a lesbian-esque perspective. Why the assumption that skimpy
women is designed only for men? Now that is what I call sexist! And
actually tastes a bit of LGBT erasure style homophobia too.
Also incase you have never heard of Sharia Law, a half naked woman is actually pretty Liberated.
You should get the choice for yourself, if you don’t like skimpy
don’t choose skimpy, choose a medium armour class and change the
physique to a less slim smaller boobed version if that is what you want.
And as you level up you can choose different style armour or apply
non-revealing armour skins.
But if another player chooses a skimpy outfit an runs past you and
you get offended that’s just too bad. Put on your big girl panties and
suck it up like an adult. Or you can log out and never play again.
It’s not that the game is deliberately sexist, it is just incidentally sexist, and yes there is a difference.
Basically it’s only sexist because you think it is.
For example IMO they should have made the face styles of GW1
available for human females and not made their faces in such a
“sweet”-sixteen in a giving-the-teacher-a-blowie kinda way.
But atleast the female characters will never have exposed nipples (like the male warrior in a certain armour set).
Charr females have a lore history linked to gender equality.
The
sexist Sons of Svanir are not put upon a pedestal but are cast as the
badguys.
Thackery (the main “hero” npc for human characters) is cast as a
Pussy-whipped servant to the queen (no king btw).
The gameplay is so all inclusive and "equal" (out of touch with reality) it even doesn't calculate the lack of musculature of female characters as minus power or inability to weild large weapons, it allows supermodel looking women to have the same physical strength as a bodybuilder. Lucky girls.
As a woman the story line and gameplay leaves the girl gamer feeling like she won the rights to sit on the game developers faces, queef in the face of physical reality. AND my feminista sista if you role the Warrior for example (how convenient "warrior women") they even give you a Hammer you can smash the "evil patriarchy" of game makers with.
And this is apparently sexist to women? Yeah right!
And even if it is? Let's not forget these "sexist" NPCs are the bad guys. You are basically whining that a BAD GUY has an unpleasant characteristic, well duh?! You wouldn't want to kick their ass if they were simply "poor misunderstood souls".
