No because its a fictional game, depicting fictional, athlete ised , idealised versions of human beings. Action movie humans if you will.

Nobody expects you to look like that.

I mean this is the nicest possible way:

If you genuinely think this is an issue with Dust 514, I suggest you stop playing Dust and re-prioritise. There are much bigger fish to fry in the endless sex war debate. For example; the portrayal of women in glossy magazines, soap operas and advertising.

While I'm sure you eager to flex you new found analytical muscles, and it must be nice and empowering for you, a beta forum for a game is a terrible place to conduct a qualitative study on gender perceptions. Its not empirical, and you just come across is one of those tools who did a 101 class in first year who pretend to be an authority on -insert social science here- on the internet. Its not impressive, and smacks of the worst kind of academic arrogance.

In terms of how we are genetically born and evolved in real life, I agree that women are technically weaker than men. Women do have the option of building themselves up body wise through rigorous exercise and hormone treatments. But those efforts hardly change anything in the woman's genes unless...

1. Every man wants to start doing it with muscular women like Spartans did. Keep in mind that Spartan women were raised to be equally tough as well. It was believed that only a Spartan woman can give birth to REAL men. That's how tough Spartan women were.

or

2. Scientists figure out how to manipulate the genes of a women to make them equally strong as men while still retaining their beauty (maybe in 500 years).

oooookaaay

I wouldn't have gone with anime conventions, I would have gone with the hot girls @ clubs (like Vegas/NYC) who just wear paint. I like paint.

Also Wrote stuff countering stuff written

Women being merc doesn't even make sense - our weapons are so powerful it kills people without our armor who uses it - yet a girl can wield it fine. I would think female armors would have physical enhancers to them or would be required of them to be able to hold there weapons. But let's focus on there breast sizes instead and how they walk.

These are engineered clones. They've already been enhanced. So no, they wouldn't need enhancers.

@Iron Wolf

That's nothing from Terra. You should see Bayonetta. Hell of a strip show that game is.

May I lay this on the table.

Why did the greeks and other ancient sculptors have most of their human statues nekkid?

If you see anything beyond "red dot" "red dot" "red dot", I'm sorry to say, you're doing it wrong.

Be a ridiculously sexualised clone, limit your choices of dropsuit, or be a man.

Really? May I ask what within my comments you considered sexist?

Guess what, girls love that game, fyi

This is my thing if you(a female) were to create a character yourselves body type and all 95% of woman will make themselves look like they just came out of a fantasy playboy issue as they do with mosy MMO games..


When do you ever see a FAT GIRL representation of themselves, Most will create someone who in there eyes they wanna be..
Im sorry but i feel that this is the way of the world today same as a male 95% of the time you wont find a guy creating a skimp ass version of themselves you know, There gonna be buff with some overbearing voice and a new persona...When there a fat kid with glasses and soprano toned voice,

viewing it as a sexist act kinda contradicts and has a hint of sexism in it anyway i mean unless your american(which i am) most woman are petite and are very sexual people, you would be underminding yourselves to potray yourself as anything less,

not to mention it brings unification to the table like a uniform school cant make jokes if you all look the same no? just saying

Actually Kazeno, you are the one making this stereotype into a big deal. No one else, not anyone at CCP or otherwise intended to "oversexualize" them as see it. However, let me bring your attention to this.

Now remember, only for research ;). But I could totally see this female in a Gallente Scout armor fitting perfectly. Now you want some "research"for any other points as well?
