Re: #1ReasonWhy Movement
I've made an elaborate point of it in this post earlier, so I'll just recap what I said back then quickly: it's likely that most girls don't play the kind of AAA games we're all into, less because of the scantily clad women, and moreso because they're about murdering dudes and monsters and winnings and all that. Which… -
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
Thinness in itself is not generally considered sexy(a real woman with the above body would be disturbingly unhealthy), although fatness of any kind(even when it's actually just a healthy weight) is as you have observed quickly called out as ugly. It's a shame fashion dolls are universally skinny and pouty-lipped, and I'd… -
Re: #1ReasonWhy Movement
I don't think that's what people want. They want people with some depth and believability because it's more human and interesting than alpha males and flawless seductresses. I don't actually think it's oppression or boys' club or whatever. It's just lack of imagination or artistic finesse on the part of whoever designed… -

Shanthosa: you're welcome and thank you!

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
Kinda related and because I knew my name would come up in this thread, this is the only time Im going to say anything like this here: I read most of the stuff from the OP and I see those as personally way over the line, disgusting etc - I can't believe some of them, because they are so far over the line I couldnt fathom… -
#1ReasonWhy Movement
hey! i haven't seen this posted anywhere on here yet, but i'm sure some of you guys have noticed the #1reasonwhy hashtag on twitter. overnight lots of women (and men) started sharing their stories of the issues they've had to deal with, and what they've seen happen to others. even though it's pretty sad reading some of…
