What was your goal when starting this thread, female empowerment, voyeurism, or something else? They can get that fat girl from the new 2020 X-Men and I take Coffy from 1973, a badass, sexy woman who fights pimps and drug dealers, but isn't a man-hating feminazi and isn't above using her looks to get what she wants. Because I don't give a shit about what sensitive little crybabies bitch about.
So, don't tell me that in 2020 I cannot express the desire to have female videogame or movie characters or singers who look attractive, womanly and sexy. People didn't fight for more freedom of expression just so that those little brats catapult us back to the morals of the 50s with the addition of complaints about "toxic masculinity". We had that as well with Sarah Connor, Ellen Ripley, Beatrix Kiddo etc., so it's not even anything new that the current generation came up with.īut I won't let myself be guilt-shamed for liking some of my singers and game characaters in midriff-baring outfits, for preferring the fanservicey popcorn cinema that is 2000's "Charlie's Angels" as opposed to the bland, man-hating recent version, for preferring James Bond as a manly man playboy and for unironically liking the things that Al Bundy has to say. If you want to present a non-sexualized tough woman as your hero, do so. And the big companies bow down to the morons and remove harmless shows like "Little Britain" because they are insensitive or something like that.īut I won't make myself the bitch of this thin-skinned easily-upset generation. Today, it's the exact opposite: The youth is bothered by the slightest things that aren't P.C.
They revert back to the morals of yester-yesterday.įor example, it were old, bitter soccer moms who took issue with stuff like Al Bundy or "South Park", and those shows rightfully made fun about this very thing. In all the decades since the 50s, the youth became more and more liberal, with their parents and grandparents being regarded as old-fashioned and conservative. Those people always want to be so liberal, but in fact, today's generation actually has the morals of the 50s, minus the homophobia. Oh please! I don't give a shit about the recent trend initiated by that crybaby cancel culture generation who takes issues with everything. but few would expect to hear somebody to repeat that detailed considerations in 2020. For example, "Super Metroid" might be a very fitting game if you're into really atmospheric science fiction games.īut the specific property "this game is one with a clearly female protagonist" (in the same way "Tomb Raider" or "Shantae" are) isn't covered by a game like "Metroid" or "Ms. I might still play the game for its quality. But this specific game doesn't satisfy my desire to have one game with a clearly female protagonist. I said: If of all the games in my list, I only have one that happens to have a female protagonist and all the others are male, then I want the female protagonist to be visible as female.Īmong Mario, Link, Mega Man, Simon Belmont, the "Contra" guys etc., if the only female has a sprite that's just a robot suit, then the game might be good or it might be bad.
Explaining that armored females aren't good because you prefer to identify more of their anatomy.
