A WOMAN'S anatomy or a FEMALE CHARACTER'S anatomy?

(Anonymous) 2016-03-15 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I've seen both on FS.

Considering how I've seen a lot of women IRL pick apart a woman's outfit, her weight, her makeup, her hair, definitely a woman's.

I can kind of understand nitpicking a female character's clothing if it's revealing/useless in context, but when people complain about the female characters wearing bikinis in that beach vollyball video game and stuff like that, now I just think you're looking to be offended.

When you reduce the criticisms of DOA: Xtreme Beach Volleyball to 'well, you're just looking to be offended if you have a problem with women wearing bikinis', you're making it obvious you have neither listened to the criticisms nor even looked at the outfits in question.

Hint: pasties held together by necklace chains do not a bikini make.

Having seen what some people wear to the beach... I'm pretty sure they're selling pasties held together by a necklace chain at actual bathing suit stores.

I have no problem with criticisms aimed at games where it makes no sense for ANYONE to be scantily clad (games where armour or hiking gear etc etc are more de rigeur), but well... it's a volleyball game very clearly aimed at people who enjoy looking at half-naked women while playing a game.

I don't know where you live where people who dress inappropriately do not get told to cover up or leave, but I'm glad I don't live there.

DOA:X is a volleyball game aimed at voyeurs. RapeLay is a rape simulator aimed at rapists. Playing History: Slave Trade is a puzzle game aimed at white supremacists. Having a specific audience in mind does not exempt a game from criticism from people outside that audience.

NAYRT

No one here is denying you your right to criticism. We're just calling you oversensitive for it.

DA

I don't think DOA beach volley ball is terrible shit that shouldn't exist. But within the context of a generally problematic games industry, it's another piece in a portrait of misogyny. I mean, scantily clad women in bikini armour is a trope in gaming, and there's no shortage of characters designed primarily to show titty. While there's nothing wrong with that in and of itself, it does display a troubling pattern when you put it all together. Am I making sense here?
