Re: #1ReasonWhy Movement
Which is practical and has a historical basis. Chainmail thongs don't -- but they're cool imo, im just saying -- I can tell you a million reasons a bruiser like conan would want to be bare chested. Can't think of one for a chainmail thong aside from aesthetics. The practicality aside, Conan's an interesting example of… -
Re: #1ReasonWhy Movement
It's possible they did, and they're just referring to the incident as an example. 140 characters isn't a whole lot of space to get into details. -
Re: #1ReasonWhy Movement
I didn't realise the 1 Reason Why thing had turned into such a big deal. The sexism in games and industry debate bubbles along more or less continuously among the games media and indi devs on my Twitter. It does kind of get that way in here at times. As I see it, a lot of it isn't so much outwardly misogynistic or overtly… -
Re: #1ReasonWhy Movement
I wasn't having a go at you mate, or anyone else in particular. Your work just seemed like the the most immediately recognisable example of an art thread that'd have the potential to generate some off-color comments from others. I notice I left out the word "thread" in my post which probably didn't help matters. I do… -
Re: #1ReasonWhy Movement
I just want to take the time to say that even though I myself am not drawn to, and generally stray from the type of "sexy girl" sort of threads you tend to make, I almost always take the time to look. It's pretty clear that for you this is a craft, rather than a fetish. I've always appreciated that. A lot of times I wind… -
Re: #1ReasonWhy Movement
The Bechdel Test - it'll be a good day when we see a majority of games passing this test :) It still alarms me how few films do. Of course it's not a measure of a good film - nor is failure of the test the mark of a bad one, or even a sexist one - but I think the proportion of media passing this test, be it film, games or… -
Re: #1ReasonWhy Movement
@Harry: I pointed out that I was talking about media in general, not specifically video games. I can't think of anything off hand where a male protagonist is in absolute possession of a female character - but we could argue about the meaning of possession in this context. Very little media would ever deliberately do that -… -
Re: #1ReasonWhy Movement
Ok, i'll admit that evolutionary psychology isn't "proven" but i know human behaviour does not come from god and in my opinion, approaching the issue with a method, with maturity- and without victimising anyone until a victim-oppressor relationship is actually confirmed- is the only meaningful way to discuss it. Without… -
Re: #1ReasonWhy Movement
I'm gonna drop my own opinion in here: I 100% defend YBourykina in defending Haz. I have never EVER gotten the impression from him or his work that he objectified women. rather that he saw them as beautiful (and not just physically) - and wanted to dedicate himself to capturing that in his work. The problem isn't… -
Re: #1ReasonWhy Movement
That's the issue that I'm having an issue with, we get people who didn't suffer anything shouting foul, while people who actually do have a reason to shout foul don't say anything. So there is a very good reason for me to believe that someone out there just was in a bad mood and wanted to do some damage to some peeps in an…
