Just as a "fat" model would look overweight, it makes sense. The fat model does not actually look overweight in any way and the thin one is thin to the point of danger.
So basically, you're jealous of the skinny, heel-wearing avatars? :s |

It's a joke and insanely misogynistic to have not even considered this massive oversight. I hate wearing high heels in real life as they are painful and extremely awkward to walk in and mostly only for pleasing dumb ass men.
CCP art team needs to pull their head out their ass and introduce some non high heels for female characters to wear. I'm supposed to be a spaceship captain. I need actual practical shoes. Male character's get them.
You could also fix this by removing the 'gender' requirement on clothing but I guess that's another post.
STOP FORCING WOMEN TO WEAR HIGH HEELS IN VIDEO GAMES
For anyone who is unclear this isn't a joke post or a troll. I legitimately think a game that offers character customization that forces me to wear high heels in 2012 is disgusting.
The fact that OP thinks that high heels are linked to misogyny baffles me. I treat women like objects in real life, but I really dislike heels.
No, just kidding. Here comes my real reply:
If you think a heel (although, I must agree IRL they are mostly being defined as either "tough bi-atch" or "sl-ut" type shoes) is a symbol for misogyny, then I could say the same about all the "tough guy" clothing being misandrous. If you hate wearing them in real life because you either can't walk in them or are overweight, leave your problems at the door. Do you think all of us men wear either tight leather-looking pants or baggy pants? Do you think all of us men are that skinny or muscular? Do you think WE like to see the contrast between RL and our eve avatars? No, we don't. And I don't think most of us care, even. Fact is, this is EVE. Not to be confused with reality. In New Eden, especially for Gallente women I would think, for all you know high heel shoes are a symbol of stature, divinity and freedom. And about the weight issue, I assume to be a capsuleer (wether female or not), you need to have a certain limit in weight, as more fat would mean more tissue moving around by the g-forces affecting you.
I say -1 to this superfeminist (I have nothing against equal gender rights, but I do have a problem with crybabies), overly subjective and pointless thread. |
