Re: Objectifying women...
Just out of interest, what recent or upcoming, top selling games are showing examples of this to people? maybe gta a bit, but you can argue that that games all about stereotyping and pointing out silly things from our culture in a satirical way. Bayonetta maybe, due to her outfit, but she does kick ass. This isn't me… -
Re: Objectifying women...
Ok, I'll start : - I do remember the twins in Duke Nukem Forever to be acting as objects, but I did see it as a satire on the way some people are willing to sell themselves in the name of fame and money in Hollywood. Now Duke is an accomplice of that, and that does make him a despicable character - but again, this is… -
Re: Objectifying women...
In terms of artists choices for what they are creating either personal art or industry art I don’t feel it’s ever fair to point the finger at the individual artist (unless they say they are trying to make women feel bad or something equally absurd). Their design choices could stem from any number of reasons. For example,… -
Re: Objectifying women...
It was an example of his, to get a point across. Also, OkCupid is hardly a reliable source for a study, especially considering wealth/success has so many variable factors when you apply them to dating sites, where physical image is one of the most important factors. -
Re: Objectifying women...
I guess that leads to the question of "What can be done about this?" I feel as if even talking about the topic does nothing as some kind of action would probably have to be done. I could try to set an example with work, but all of my zbrush sculpts look like turds so that is probably not the best way to do something about… -
Re: Objectifying women...
just because you are offended it does not give you power. Seriously. In other words, if you don't like something do not participate. I am not a fan of getting a handy from some old guy in the steam rooms at my gym so I don't participate but hey maybe it is for some people. I don't burn the place to the ground. (perhaps i… -
Re: Objectifying women...
There is clearly an issue with objectifying women in video games, but I do not think Bioshock Infinite is a good example of this at all. Objectifying female characters happens in the story as well as the actual design of the character. Never does the story of Bioshock Infinite or the DLC put Elizabeth out as a prize, or… -
Re: Objectifying women...
I totally agree about not pleasing everyone, its impossible. I think the perfect example is the Noir Elizabeth from Bioshock. Obviously some people got offended, who knows if they're male or female. Her wardrobe isn't revealing at all but the issue is that her waist is a little small and her bust is a little big. I don't… -
Re: Objectifying women...
I think objectifying women starts with the recipient, not the sender of the "message". For example, when I see Elisabeth from Bioshock, I see a technically great model, based on a concept that incorporates "noir" features and the ideal body shape from an era when women shaped their curves by wearing a corset. It is a… -
Re: Objectifying women...
Women are objectified in game art for sure, however, I just see this as more of an issue of serial complaining. Most of the people who complain about this are people that aren't personally offended, but instead find the need to complain on behalf of somebody else. You see this happen all the time in the news in the U.S.…
