Re: Do you think media has influence on people?

[(Anonymous)]

I think the difference is that violence in video games is generally not praised as good and right and proper. Everyone socially well-adjusted knows violence is usually wrong and a bad thing, self-defense and such excepted. People are taught not to be violent. Society frowns upon violence in general.

Meanwhile, objectification of women is supported by most of society. People laugh at ugly chicks and fat chicks or any woman that isn't sexually attractive. Parts of society try to teach women to love themselves no matter how they look, yes, but they're the vast minority and when most of the world factors physical appearance and/or sexual desirability as one of the major values of a woman... it's different.

Yeah. people also laugh at ugly guys and fat guys. That's media. People like to see the prettiest/most handsome people. Everyone else is a punchline. Get used to it. No one wants to see Steve Buscemi play Thor.

Ugly guys and fat guys always get the hot girl at the end, though. Comparatively, there are extremely few media depictions of the fat or ugly girl getting the guy at the end, or getting anything in the end. Unless she wins by losing weight and becoming beautiful enough to be acceptable.

I'm not saying men are immune to being mocked, which they aren't: they're judged for height as well as weight and facial features, everybody is judged about that.

But that wasn't the point. My point was that pointing out that violence in video games, where violence in real life is heavily frowned upon by most of society outside of specific areas like martial arts and such, is different and incomparable to something like idealized physical appearance which is supported by society. The difference is in how "okay with it" society is.

this is why I love Ugly Betty (the American version, not the original where Betty transforms into a supermodel and then finds love)

I dunno, I'd watch Buscemi as Thor.

Being ugly and fat isn't usually all those guys are, though.

Whereas beauty/desirability for women is seen as worthy above and beyond things like intelligence or morality.

And how dare you, Steve Buscemi should totally play Thor.
