I want my toon to have a boy camel-toe.

I believe the technical term for that is frog-eye.

Now Reaver, why exactly you had to bring this up ?
Just curious...

It all started this morning when I watched a video on youtube by Thunderf00t talking about how feminists are ruining everything, and he's pointing to Anita Sarkeesian's video about video games being sexist. This is a topic covered often by Thunderf00t, and he often targets the same person, Anita Sarkeesian. This is not the first time he has made a video about this video specifically, either. Once again I got riled up that Thunderf00t, as usual, is making bold statements about feminists--feminists do this, feminists say that--basically grouping all feminists together as a bunch of ball-busting bra-burning burlesque bitches--all women of course. The very title of his video "IF Men acted like FEMINISTS!" says a lot about his stance here.

So while the rage was building within my feminist being, I took the time to consider what I agree with Anita Sarkeesian about and what I disagree with her about. While Thunderf00t likes to talk about her (and others) as radical feminists with completely and terribly extreme ideals, I'd have to say that Sarkeesian in particular is only somewhat radical. I think she makes some good points about the sexism in our culture but is failing to target it at its heart and is instead bashing some things that are overall not hurting the feminist position and are in some ways helping it. Also, she cherry-picks her points on sexism almost as much as Thunderf00t cherry-picks his points on feminism.

So I wanted to make a stern reply on her video explaining why I partially agree with her but also why I think she's mostly aiming in the wrong direction, but I can't reply to her video because she has comments disabled. So I came here to dump.

You asked, I answered. Whew! I feel a lot better now.

Well good for you, watching both of those videos made me just tired

Also: why is chest hair a bad thing on avatars? You just don't see much righteous man fuzz in gaming.

There are people who enjoy sexualized characters, for entertainment, for providing an emotional outlet, variety of reasons. Games shouldn't try to shy away from it because they (mistakenly) think this is what females want (some might, but I don't). What I'd like to see are more "traditionally male" graphical options for female archetypes: plate mail without boobie bumps, riot gear with full face covering, options for more vicious looking scars, etc.

Feminists lack ambition.

i remember when i played age of conan, the raiding part of our guild was composed roughly, depending on who was around, of about 60% male toons and 40% female toons. the actual gender ratio of the team was 16-17 guys to 3 women. you could tell who we were in the raid because our toons were covered head to toe in leather, fur and metal. and all the guy's female characters had their armor hidden, and were dancing around and doing battle with epic creatures topless.
