Oh I love you people
Feminism **** YEAH, coming again to save the mother ****ing day.
Feminism isn't bad. It only gets bad when you get the girls who want men's penises chopped off and that consensual sex is still somehow the censored "r-word" on this site. Yes, they do exist. However, I haven't seen anyone being confrontational in this discussion. I've only seen people being logical.
Skimpy for the sake of skimpy
is objectifying. Leather cat suits make sense and are easy on the eyes, so those I am okay with. Chainmail bikinis do not make sense at all in a battle where there are swords and arrows flying amok. The bikinis and similar costumes are there to appease to a large male demographic so that they will dish out cash for that game. It is a basic marketting tactic for games. Sex sells. A major downside is that it turns off a female playerbase because it gives them the impression that that game is a "boys only" club.
That is our issue with the skimpiness. We just want armor that makes practical sense.
I mean lets think about this realistically, if I was some dude drafted in the army and haven’t seen a wench or woman in months, I’m pretty sure scantly clad armor would catch me off guard. I would probably be sitting there with my mouth gaping open, thinking ‘Boooobs…’ than reacting to the woman about to initiate stabbity death upon me. Call me sexist , but hell I’m a man I like swords, explosions, death and a little T’n’A.
That's cool. I like well a guy in a suit, slicked back hair, and dark eyes. Mmm. One of the many reasons why I loved Inception, heh.
But I'm going to have to say that you're wrong in your scenario there.
I enjoy reading stories about men and women in wartime and what kind of effects it has on their psyche, because my family is
full of military history and the subject is fascinating to me. I can tell you right now that when you're fighting in a field where death is one wrong step - one moment of hesitation away, it doesn't matter if the person with a gun running towards you is a child or a woman - if it's you or her, you will shoot that woman. It's the common, reactionary sense of fight or flight, and a part of being a fighter and survivor.
Being sexy won't save her against battle hardened men. Being trained, being well armed, and being well armored, however, will.
I love all the people in here trying to be all nonchalant about it too, saying yes it should be equal. Look I mean think about a guy in scantily clad armor is like a guy who sparkles, sorry ladies he’s just not that into you. . .
What is this, I don't even -
Was that a jab at Twilight I spotted? Lol. I don't know many ladies on these boards that like that drivel. I vomited a little the first time I forced myself to read through it.
You don't think women should be equal to men? I'm just trying to infer what you're saying in the above quote.
In fact he wants your boyfriend more than he wants you. He might help you pick out curtains and color coordinate your bathroom, but he’s not going to. . . Do the Antivan milk sandwich with you . .If you catch my drift. I mean sure if two dude giving one another, the back door search and seizure is your thing than whatever, but doesn’t that undermine your entire point of objectification or some bull**** like that?
You don't like gay people? You seem pretty eager to make severe stereotypes about them at their expense.
And as far as practicality goes think about it, and think about it hard, your average woman is not going to be the same size as your average man. Facts of life people, men grow bigger than woman. And so the man is probably going to be the Tank of the group. Even DAO pointed this out, there is no female tanks, unless you make one. Your females are a Bard and two Mages, who are not tanks.
Now THIS I can understand completely. Yes, women are lighter, so it makes sense that there should be a lot of women in, say, the Ferelden army who are archers or other types of rogues. It makes sense and no one ever disputed that.
But it's silly to say that
all women ever are light weights. You ever check out those professional weight lifter women? Apply that strength to a combat scenario and I don't think she'd have any trouble lopping off some monster heads. There are some big, tough girls out there just like there are tiny, light men.
But realistically speaking, the first guy she met in the same armor, with the same weapon, the only difference is there physical attributes, the guy would win. Simply because he’s physically stronger.
However you take that same woman and put her in clothing that is lighter, and less confining, and easer to move in give her a few daggers and the key to the back door and bam there ya go.
She wouldn't be in the exact same armor, though.
Like you saw in DA:O, there was a different model for the male and female armor that contoured to their individual bodies. It wasn't like some generic Wal-Mart brand where everyone got the same thing. It stands to logic that the female armor - because there is less of it - would be lighter and the manuverability would be equal, if not higher, than the male version.
I understand the issue about male strength generally being superior, but strength is not the only factor that plays into a fight. There is training, focus, history, and strategy that plays into it as well.
You wouldn’t see the Hulk playing spy.
Hah. I sure would like it see that, though.
I like your drawing, btw. Cute hair.
