Also granted since their isnt any flesh behind these suits just circuitry it could be argued that you dont need a male/female variant of anything because the perfect soldier shape wouldnt be a a two armed two legged human but some 6-8 limbed creature that could multitask at a much greater level.

Miss the point? You're the one making to much out of it, read again, my point is clear, You're saying that Dust women are oversexualised, my point is that look around, real life, women these days dress alot more provacatively for you to call this oversexualised compared to everyday life, TV, and other games in general is a joke. I will admit though I got off topic at the end.

Congrats on adding something constructive to the discussion.

There is flesh these are clones rather than androids or whatever, funny this topic is still going when there is a much bigger issue, wheres the homosexual suit? I want to be able to mince along looking fabulous with my wrist bent in a stereotypical fashion.

Listen, I just asked a female in my corp and she said that "games don't even offer female avatars. And, us, girls like to look sexy when we shoot you in the face".

So, if girls aren't upset and they like it...why are we making a stink about it??

The point, was that there is a disparity between the representations of men & women in this game. Pointing out examples of this happening elsewhere adds nothing to the conversation.
The case you are making, is akin to saying we don't have to worry about problems in our own countries/homes/lives, just because those problems are worse in other countries etc.

we do have pink suits?

I'm male and I chose to make my character female because I genuinely like characters I make being female, not just because it's something to look at.

I am displeased with how the females walk. I am also displeased with out there seems to be more emphases on the breasts than there really should be (The armor there should be more armor-like and less spandex-like.) I am most displeased that they are in high heels. What the **** is up with that?

Though, I am very glad that females aren't characturized and the models themselves are pretty realistic considering that these are enhanced clones. I am also glad that they aren't actively sexualized and the is no cleave holes in the armor which most games would probably do.

I really hope that Eves character creation system is included in dust so we can actually improve our characters how we like... Though that'd put a lot of stress of the servers as well as our PS3s... At least have it for MQs.

You should complain how the men are tall and well built, with an even and powerful frame.

It's wrong to want "perfection" in "perfect" combat clones, am I right?

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?

I don't see the problem here. There's a general suit build for each type of suit. It would be ridiculous for each suit to be specialize for women's breast size. That's not realistic. Now I do relize we are it the future and you can create the perfect clone but thatill probably be done away with if they let us customize our clones.

Once again I still fail to see how breasts, and a rather hip swaying walk can possibly be be that bad but somehow you'll take offense to anything it seems. So I'm done with this now, you're the one averting your eyes from the fact that due to the way women interact and dress socially does change the way the world looks at things thus looking into this game from the outside people would then with this new perspective would say compared to other things and games I've seen this isn't bad at all. Because for the last time really how much of a difference between the two suits are there? Very little, save for breasts and a hip swaying walk.
