I'm sorry. I really am. Looking back on this thread I regret opening it because I feel like there's a lot of hostility in some of the replies. I should have opening the thread while choosing my words more carefully or not at all.

I would not have been bothered by the new walking animation if the animation was the same from the beginning. But it was changed to a more modest walk, so when it was reverted (as some say to the "old" walk) the change became very noticeable and that much more jarring.

I have no problems with the suits accentuating the female figure, I kind of like it in a future-spacey kind of way. The Caldari medium does this and the Gallante suits really do this and I like it. Heck, I play mostly a Dragonfly Scout (despite Scouts doing poorly right now) because I think it DOES look sexy.

But if, let's say, the suits didn't reflect this, if they were more egalitarian and androgynous at the beginning in beta up to now, and then one day you realize that "hey! this has been changed to a skin tight suit over night!" then it would be very noticeable and people would get upset. This is how I felt about the walking animation. Not that I was upset to the point of crying sexism but it did feel like a step backwards for CCP. If CCP wants to keep this new animation then I will get used to it, I like Dust enough to deal with it.

Again, had the animation been like this from the beginning I would not have said anything because that is how the game goes. Like Bayonetta for example, I don't mind playing that game at all because Bayonetta is like that from the beginning. I think she's cool and pretty BA. She's a caricature but that's just who she is and I don't see sexism in her because that's how she was developed from the beginning (albeit the game is kind of sexist).

Anyways, I'm sorry for getting people upset and I guess it's time for me to take a break from the forums for awhile. I really don't want to be known as the one who started "that" argument, so again, I apologize. and, well, I guess I'll just play the game and shut up about it. Sorry again to everyone.

To be sexist is to discriminate based on sex, observations are fine.

Hehe
Old scientists use to believe that educated women were more likely to become sterile. It is observed science after all, right?

A lot of the older stuff had ulterior motives rather than seeking the truth, by old logic people are either born smart or dumb.

Apply lobotomies where needed

For those delusional social justice warriors who think women can compete at the level a man can, here's a fun little story about the two most dominant female athletes ever facing off against a man

"During the 1998 Australian Open, sisters Serena and Venus Williams boasted that they could beat any man ranked outside the world's top 200. The challenge was accepted by Karsten Braasch, a German player ranked No 203 (his highest ranking was No 38). Before the matches, Braasch played a round of golf in the morning, drank a couple of beers, smoked a few cigarettes, and then played the Williams sisters for a set each, one after the other. He defeated Serena, 6-1, and Venus, 6-2. Serena said afterwards "I didn't know it would be that hard. I hit shots that would have been winners on the women's tour and he got to them easily." Braasch said afterwards, "500 and above, no chance". He added that he had played like someone ranked 600th in order to keep the game "fun"

Nice try, tumblr kiddies.

Um, I'm sorry, but science proves that women walk exactly like that:

Sounds like sexism to me. Gives the girls the tramp march, while the men are just casual.

A very good and simple example is sport, would you think it fair to mix up sport so males and females compete side by side?

Try watching the females football world cup ( soccer) and tell me they are as good as men, they have the same intense training.

Sexist? Certainly not, its reality.
