Joukehainen Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 You don't want to argue 23 pages about boobplate? What are you, a heteronormative bigot? Nope, not me, I'm a purile adolescent! Imma troll a bunch of people by claiming they say the opposite of what they actually say. All day. Every day. Cuz I got nothing better to do! 2
Kai Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Ok, since everyone seems to be arguing about unrealistic boob armors which apparently is a discussion worthy of roughly 10+ threads without people being anywhere near a concensus, I think I have a solution to make everyone happy. Just remove all armor and depict all characters naked. 2

henofthewoods Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) so pretty much here's how i guess it went down: The original pic goes up with silly out-of-place armor that appears to have been an oversight more than anything else. People point out how silly it is, some cite sexism, which in my opinion is a bit much but whatever. Obsidian says: "oh hey yeah you guys are right it. it is pretty silly, huh?" and changes it so that the breast plate looks like it actually works while still keeping rather large breasts. People who wouldn't have said anything had the second picture been posted first start yelling loudly that feminists are after their breasts and trying to ruin everybody's fun. They start crying about how you can't tell it's a woman now despite having a distinct hourglass figure. Tensions rise as people start trying to fight invisible enemies such as white knights and feminists swinging into the air saying that it isn't fair that they aren't targeting their fantasies like they were supposed to, thus making it a far bigger issue than it should have ever been. Meanwhile Obsidian's already made their voice clear that they found the original armor not in line with what they envision for the project. real talk, mra folks, you guys have actual issues in the real world that you should be rallying for. there will always be games with giant boobies everywhere and one game that won't have them isn't the feminist holocaust. chill as for "feminists" calling this act super sexist, i'd chill too. it's not that big of a deal and the mistake was acknowledged already.

Well if everyone is always naked it shouldn't be that difficult... Honestly, it makes me feel a bit badly that this line of discussion about phallus bludgeoning is almost (or is) as constructive as the actual topic.

UncleBourbon came up with this one eleven pages ago: I think one of the positive things that could come from these respawning threads would be dialog for a couple of NPCs outside some blacksmith, arguing about having some made-to-order boobplate commissioned. You know, arguing back and forth forever.

Grimlorn Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 I'd rather a white knight than a mysogynerd ****tard any day of the week. But then I'm only a woman who has donated to this kickstarter I mean what does my opinion matter right? If the majority of the demographic is white that means racism is allowed since sexism is okay when the majority are men. /sarcasm I don't want my female playable characters to look like strippers just as I'm sure you don't want your male playable characters to look like Edward from Twilight. I don't see why it's such an imposition. I mean you aren't going to die if a woman doesn't flash some boob at you every five minutes. Any other women want to be immature and overreact? 1

It is not immature of a woman to overreact its just womanly, the sooner you accept it and learn to just nod your head and say yes the more peace you will have in your life. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
henofthewoods Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Men and women both are naturally inclined to overreact violently. How they tend to overreact, however, is very different and tends to both scare and bewilder the opposite sex. For some, this bewilderment leads to bitter resentment and insecurity. I feel like these threads have the right amount of gender-based tension that it's bringing out these negative feelings. Maybe I'm wrong, I have no idea, but I get the idea that there is a male majority here and it looks like the vast majority of the overreacting has come from men. 4

Rostere Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 The first time I played Baldurs Gate(II) I didn't realize that my PC was running around in a thong. I thought she had pink legs to show that she was a girl. It wasn't until I put that armour on Anomen that I wondered why his legs were shiny instead of blue (what! I was still learning stuff!). So I played switch the armour. On my pc, both armours had pink legs. On Anomen, he had shiny legs.... Facepalm. I thought it all terribly funny, and kept on playing, I didn't worry about it until I hit the desert in ToB. All that sand bothered me. ^^ This is what I don't want to see in PE - "stupid armour" for one gender. It would be so easy to avoid... 2 "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name.

Maybe I'm wrong, I have no idea, but I get the idea that there is a male majority here and it looks like the vast majority of the overreacting has come from men. This has pretty much been my experience of most gaming forums for the past 15+ years. I definitely don't think it's that men over-react more, only that there are more males on gaming forums. Which is why I tend to give my opinion (if I have one to say) and then leave the topic. 9 times out of 10 it feels like a waste of my time to do any more than that. Not that I didn't spend early years on the internet doing it anyway. But after a while, for me, there's just all kinds of other stuff that I'd rather spend my time doing. And to restate my record: I don't mind sexy armor being in the game (male or female). I just want variety. I don't always want to feel like my character/s are ready to go for a romp at the beach, or to be wearing fur bikini's in the snow. There needs to be plenty of options, that's all. 5 “Things are as they are.

So if a woman reacts badly to the representation of her own sex in a game and to the male gamers who want it like that, it's immature overreaction according to a male.
