So. From what I understand this is the majority of the issues, simplified:
Men don't have inflated breast plates that show off, and protect, their imaginary tig-ol-bitties.
Women have these things for their tig-ol-bitties. Making them over-sexualized.
Men don't "sway" with the way that they walk. It's just "asexual". (Which I find total BS because they swing their shoulders which SHOULD have the same damn complaints if you want to cry about swaying in the women. Because not all men walk like that...only the "manly man")
Women do sway their hips thus making them objects of sex in our eyes. Not all women walk like that except the "womenly women"
Solutions:
1. None. Unless you just keep the curve bodies for women and allow for them, no matter the size, to have flat chest plates. That or have customization but oh wait. We're in a beta and I doubt that would even be a focus until it's about to be put out.
2. Simply just find a manner in which all characters walk. No shoulder swinging, no hip swinging, just walking.
Never expected Dust to get the "hyper-sexualization" stick because I mean really...wtf focuses on the women models, who are fully clothed and shaped according to their roles by the way (e.g. heavy), while we're fighting a battle?
I never thought "wow that's pretty hot". Actually I've thought "Oh wow. That's a female...nice ass." And kept going. >_> You can say that "hyper-sexualization" but P sure women could say the same thing about the men models and they wouldn't have an issue.
Hyper-sexualization is when you have things GROSSLY sexualized. I'm talking half naked, unfair representation (Being honestly it's fairly "unfair" representation with the manly men and womenly women), and extra sexy movement (which has been proven to not actually be stimulating enough for men to be able to tell them apart).
Of course. The only thing that's holding this back is customization. I'll agree that we're limited but DO NOT KITTEN SAY THIS GAME IS OVER-SEXUALIZED WHEN A MAJORITY OF PLAYERS CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MODELS MOST OF THE TIME.
Crack is wack, and smoke is a joke. Get good and adapt or die. |

So just make the breasts smaller and have them walk with swinging their hips?
Won't someone cry about the breast size not being realistic? And won't someone say that the women mercs are being oppressed because they can't show freedom by moving sexually?
I don't care that much but this is one of the least exaggerated games out there. Let's try to be classy about this and not flame each other with the "perfect" body type nonsense.
Let's just consider what could be a solution instead.
Also. I DON'T SWING MY SHOULDERS LIKE THE MERC IN THE GAME. I DEMAND THAT THE MERCS STOP SWINGING THEIR SHOULDERS. MY BUTTOCKS ALSO ISN'T THAT HOT AND CHISELED. /endscene |

So, if girls aren't upset and they like it...why are we making a stink about it??
Anytime there are different gender avatars there will be someone who complains that something is over-sexualized just because they think in their opinion that it's really sexual. I've never thought it was sexualized. I still don't. They're different body types is all to me and I can't even tell the differences in game. I don't think "OH YEAH SHAKE THAT BOOTY." nor do I feel that it matters when we're playing. I think it's pretty stupid to cry over something that the "victims" don't even care about too...but hey that's my opinion, no need to force it on you.

"Breasts are obviously necessary to depict a grown woman, and a different skeletal structure means that a different walk is also required. Once again you seem to be missing the point. These things aren't the issue. The issue is that all male suits are all painfully vanilla, ordinary athletic men. Meanwhile, the only way CCP seems capable of depicting a female equivalent is "**** & ass"."
Wut?
Okay. Okay.
So. What the Hell is an average dull vanilla athletic woman to you? |
