The Catwoman missions are awesome, and my ship goggles were freaking glued to my face during the Catwoman/Poison Ivy scene with the vines...did you see the vines? 100% legit femslash material right there. If there isn't fic I will be sorely disappointed.

But I was deeply tempted to put the fucking TV on mute every single time I had to fight someone as Catwoman. The stupid thugs were afraid of Batman. "It's the Bat! Run!" "He's here!" Catwoman kicked their asses, hardcore. Why couldn't they have been afraid of her? And Harley, because OMG, Harley is a freaking psychotic murderer for crying out loud. Even a little afraid would have been nice.

I think what I like least about it, though, is people's reactions online. It's really not okay that the writers scripted in 1001 comments about raping about Harley and Catwoman into the game. Not even if it's bad guys saying it. It's gendered, and overwhelmingly so.

game is still awesome, just intensely problematic in regards to misogyny. I'm hoping for DLC that will reduce the amount of misogyny comments to being, like, 1:5, or even 1:20. That would be really nice.

To be fair, there are plenty of thugs that aren't scared of Batman or respond in pretty funny ways when they see him. "Are you a chicken or a bat?" / "Come here, you freak!" / "I'll beat you so bad even your mom won't recognize you!"

Then there are the thugs who are scared of Harley and Catwoman moreso than Batman and Joker. "I don't know about youe guys, but I think Harley is far more dangerous than the Joker" "Shhh! Don't let her hear you say that! She'll kill us all!" / "Be careful when you see Catwoman. She's dangerous"

Eh. Chicken, freak...I don't really equate them as being on the same level as bitch. Pretty much all the words that I do put on that level are equally problematic, and none of them were applied to Batman.

Actually, I haven't responded to your comment, have I? You're right that there's a bit of fear, but it doesn't compare to the fear the henchmen have for the men in the game.

That's interesting. In my game the misogynist comments were only about 1:20 or even less.

When playing as Catwoman? Because I'm counting all the times she gets called a bitch.

I may be noticing those comments more because I hate them. A confirmation bias is entirely possible. Nevertheless, I either get conversations about how a character was going to get raped, graphic descriptions of how villain X tortured henchman Y to death (not going to lie, I love those comments to pieces), or the henchmen whining about the cold. And the occasional Bruce Wayne comment. I would be cool with the rape comments disappearing entirely.

Catwoman being called a bitch I'm slightly less irritated by than rape threats/jokes, so that being reduced to one in twenty comments would be fine. Disappearing would be better, but how would anyone know that DC was being edgy if they did that? (sarcasm). Slurs really shouldn't be tossed around like so much confetti.
