Re: We're winning (celebrate your victories thread)
(Anonymous) 2015-11-26 12:46 am (UTC)(link)I mean, you people who complain about big-breasted women know you're the other side of the same coin, right? You're shaming us for something we can't help and saying if we show up in anything we MUST only be there for titilation. You're no better than people who call big-breasted girls sluts for no reason than that they have big boobs.

It was never the intention to create some kind of 'page 3' girl to star in Tomb Raider. The idea was to create a female character who was a heroine, you know, cool, collected, in control, that sort of thing. The problem with those other games is that the female characters are actually there for purely exploitative purposes. I know you could argue that Lara with her comic book style over-the top figure is exploitative, but I don't agree. I think it's ridiculous to say that portraying stylised people is degrading.

At the very least, it says there's something wrong and sexist with characters who look like us, which let me tell you, is not a good message to send to ANYONE, and I think it's fucking bullshit to claim feminism while saying a certain group of women shouldn't get characters who look like them simply because those characters are "too sexy."
