When you hear about Gamergate and the opposing arguments, you see something interesting.
Extreme feminism seem to be a branch of socialism that shows the class war between privileged male oppressor elite and the female proletarian victim.
They are messing with absolutely everything, saying that all women are harassed, and that women are "objectfied" and they look for ways to add rights and remove responsibilities (like abortion that objectfies babies).
The ways in which women are portrayed do not seem very different than the way artists like body builder Julie Bell portrays women.
Why are women attractive in games? Because you would not want to have a female version of Mr Plinkett (from RedLetterMedia) as the star of your game.
In the last two games Lara Croft use to have small breasts. Why? Because it would make girls feel bad.
So if women with large breasts are not to be used to portray sexy women, small ones will do? I find it creepy, because big breasts are a sign of adulthood, just like big muscles show this man is not a kid. Should we ban men with big muscles too, or perhaps make Unchartered have Mr Plinkett as the star?
I feel it is bad to discriminate women with big breasts by banning them from game.
I find that the attempts of "ban women" under the argument of "how women are portrayed" could be envy from women who do not look like that.
The life of women with big breasts is not easy:
* They are hard to accomodate inside clothes, swimsuits are nightmarish.
* During these days of the month, inflammation caused by hormones cause size changes.
* Sweating is a nightmare
* People notice them too much.
* Size differences are noticeable.
* V necklines makes them too noticeable
* It makes it harder to fit inside a dress
* A cocktail dress for a woman small breasts will make the woman with large breasts look like a hooker (a problem that American women have to fit inside South Korean dresses).
* Cannot go out without a bra.
* People do not look at the face.
* There will always be someone criticizing your breast
* When wearing swinsuits, your neck will suffer
* Problems in the back if breasts are too heavy
* It is impossible not to be noticed
* Running and doing sports forces you to wear special garments, or the bouncing will become not pleasant.
* It is like having a backpack all the time, you cannot put aside.
Life of these women are not as easy as it looks.
I feel feminism lots its way. If it was about equality, fine, but if it is a new form of socialism, then get lost.
