JUST SHUT UP
Those of you still arguing about this are absolute retards- none of you even have any decent points left.
The future presence of a character creator destroyed this thread before it started.

The war of the dumbasses will now continue, despite this and the previously similar posts.

I'm simply calling BS on your ability to identify dropsuit gender. Anyone who wants relevant intel on a red dot looks for every detail. Unless you fight someone at mid-long range, you should be able to identify even the level of the dropsuit.

such a sarcastic thread. Do you really believe sexism would be an issue if women weren't bringing it up? So I really couldn't care less what a males opinion is on sexism. And if females have a problem with an athletic built stereotypical female model then they can wipe the jelly tears from there face and grow up - you don't see me bitching that most every male protagonist would look great on a sports catalogue magazines. Looks sell anyways - ugly doesn't. Look at all the people crying for higher graphic quality and HD resolution.

I don't know...
it's difficult to pinpoint, I think it's a transsexual heading over towards Charlie! What do we do guys? What do we do?"

DON'T PANIC

Umadbro?

Proof that you don't care about this topic, and you just want to troll up the forums.

Don't talk about it and the problem will go away!? Are you for real?

I love your ice-cream...

No CCP don't give a **** because its a design decision, the reason the threads open is they don't want to be accused of censorship.

Personally i find this whole thread distasteful.

Nobody has to see it as sexy for it to be sexualised.

Ya know what would be cool?

If they only had one model for everything, but still gave you the option of picking between male and female.

Then it'd be completely accurate.

Having been in actual warfare, even bothering to tell what gender the person shooting at you is would not be productive. Since there are no combat suits in real life the first thing you look for is what are they shooting with and where so you can shoot them instead. I got an idea, how about you and your college buddy Kazeno or whatever his name is go off to combat and see how long you spend worrying about what gender the person shooting at you is. As for on here, I still can't tell the difference between the suit genders. Even looking at screenshots where it says female suit I can't tell.

For me this makes no sense if it is not taken in a sexual manner how can it be sexualized. Other than by perverting the original idea to something else.

Don't use stupid, out dated memes, it makes you look even more stupid than your posting in this thread.

Also, just so you know i've reported your post because this thread needs closing.

Nobody is playing "guess the gender" it's just easy to spot for anyone closer than 100m.

If one more person posts here, I'm closing the kitchen down.

SO,

After a couple years of school, and some amazing instructors, I have begun to develop and refine my perception of sociocultural interactions and the scaffolding they occur within. One of my perceptions that has undergone a changing and reattenuation of its lens is that of our media and its representation of women.

Now my question to both you, the beta players and the developers of Dust 514, is what do you think of the overtly sexualized female character models? The accentuated breasts, the apparent necessity of the female character models to go into combat in high heel wedge boot, or the obvious need for the models to swing their hips in a sexy saunter while the male models are able to calmly strut around? Does anyone find this strange? Mildly sexist? Especially when, if one takes a moment to think about it, would not want their mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt or any other women of regard in their lives to be portrayed in said like manner.

I could be going out on a limb by making a grand generalization as that, but I feel that I am not that far off base.

SO, if you have an opinion about this, I would love to hear it. I think this is a relevant today, given how, through our inundation via mass media and technology, we are constantly enculturated and socialized with what are the socially and culturally acceptable forms of representation of self and others, how we choose to interact with those identities, and what level of empathic understanding we apply to them. This is to be inclusive of socializing the behavior of objectification for the purpose of commodification so as to produce and accumulate material wealth.

Kind of like killing for profit. Maybe it's not so bad since we are clones? But do you think realistically a woman would want to make sure to sway her hips while int he process of preparing to go into combat and commit mass murder? I mean really?
