Re: The "Quiet" secret from yesterday
(Anonymous) 2013-11-14 02:54 am (UTC)(link)Two points to bring up "the design sends a message to a culture that is already neck-deep in objectified female characters" "It's a criticism on the idea that we have to have this image shoved in our faces time and time again" I continue to say that the design is sexualized, and we cant say she's been reduced to an object until we find out about her character, but I do agree it can be very sickening to see only women sexualized, but I maintain the issue is one of balance, that it's almost only women who get sexualized is the problem and I think this is a goose and gander situation. More sexualized men, not less sexualized women. If you think this wont work, look at supernatural, and wonder how well received if Dean was played by steve buscemi. Supernatural needs better writing in my opinion (this would be the part where I really earn those brass balls Noodly gave me) but there is no reason for them to have less sexualized men. People, men and women, like sexy people, this is not a problem as far as I'm concerned.
The problem is that sexualisation often leads to objectification, and that IS a terrible thing that needs to stop, but judging weather they've "done a female character justice" based on how she looks, while understandable, is doing no-one any good. There is an old axiom about judging books by their covers, and it stands up, Judging by twilights cover it is a classy book about apples.
"I don't want to have to waste my money on something that may, again, be a disappointment"
Welcome to the life of a consumer. this is true of every purchase of everything. Fortunatly we live in an age of the internet, if she really doesn't hold up as a character, you WILL find out about it, but based on the current internet attitude, you could be forgiven for thinking that she doesn't hold up as a character even before anyone's had a chance to play the game.
"Also, in and on itself, the design is atrocious."
I respectfully disagree. Ok, yes it's HIGHLY sexualized, but funnily enough I am ok with this. I like her design. If her design is as deep as her character goes (I.E Ayumi of XBlades) I will have a problem, but so far, I like it.
Actually, TL;DR for this whole thing: I respectfully disagree.
