@yuwarite I agree, people everywhere objectify people, I'm not suggesting its' just gamers or even primarily gamers, all I'm saying is, as gamers we have a choice as to how we conduct ourselves. Just because everyone else does it doesn't mean it should happen. Some people have to set an example.
Also you misunderstand my intentions, I am not attempting to moderate user comments, merely I'm sharing my opinion on this matter, and on all the comments to which I referred. We all have a right to share our opinions, but that doesn't mean they should never be challenged or criticized.
Yes, I do have a problem with women objectifying men as well, or anyone objectifying anyone, because people aren't objects, and it's honestly pathetic, it really is, though, the way people think they're actions or words don't have any effect online. This kind of blatantly arrogant comments are the REASON gamers are so misrepresented in the media, that's why I care, I don't want someone's idiotic decisions affecting the way other people view me or my friends. Gamers aren't a bunch of slobbering losers in a basement, we're so much more, and we have proven time and time again we have the ability to make an impact on the world, but when people act like people are acting in this comment section make us look like we never grew out of puberty.
My opinion is in no way unreasonable, or absurd, it's what needs to happen for the view of our community in the mainstream media. Seriously, it's like men cat-calling women on the street, or I suppose vice versa, except for they don't even have the guts to show their face. How hard is it to just shut up? It doesn't benefit anyone for some random user online to objectify a woman or man.
Come on people, we've been to other planets, we've discovered so many amazing things, and we are definitely better than this pettiness.
@Capt_N I'm not saying she's not attractive I'm saying it's pathetic how whenever NL has an article about or interview with a woman, people just talk about how attractive she is. Why does that even matter? They never talk about her talent or work, just her looks. It's a problem that needs to be fixed and it's the reason you see the misrepresentation of gamers in the media as people ( usually guys ) who can't play a game with a woman in it without fantasizing about her.
So Nintendo created a sex symbol, and now they're afraid to market her. Genius.
If the trophy is of her in her normal Dark Mage ourfit she'd be no more scantily-clad than Zero Suit Samus! Heck, Zero Suit Samus in wearing a frickin' sports bra in one of her outfits.
'Why does your sword so drip with blood, Edward, Edward? Why does your sword so drip with blood? And why so sad are ye, O?' 'O, I have killed my hawk so good, Mother, mother: O I have killed my hawk so good: And I had no more but he, O.'
'Your hawk's blood was never so red, Edward, Edward: Your hawk’s blood was never so red, My dear son I tell thee, O.' 'O, I have killed my red-roan steed, Mother, mother: O, I have killed my red-roan steed, That once was so fair and free, O.'
'Your steed was old, and we have got more, Edward, Edward: Your steed was old, and we have got more, Some other evil ye fear, O.' 'O, I have killed my father dear, Mother, mother: O, I have killed my father dear, Alas! and woe is me, O!'
'And what penance will ye suffer for that, Edward, Edward? And what penance will ye suffer for that? My dear son, now tell me, O.' 'I'll set my feet in yonder boat, Mother, mother: I’ll set my feet in yonder boat, And I’ll fare over the sea, O.'
'And what will ye do with your towers and your halls, Edward, Edward? And what will ye do with your towers and your halls, That were sae fair to see, O?' 'I’ll let them stand till they down fall, Mother, mother: I’ll let them stand till they down fall, For here never more may I be, O.'
'And what will ye leave to your children and your wife, Edward, Edward? And what will ye leave to your children and your wife When ye go over the sea, O?' 'The world is large, let them beg through life, Mother, mother: The world is large, let them beg throw life, For them never more will I see, O.'
'And what will ye leave to your own mother dear, Edward, Edward? And what will ye leave to your own mother dear? My dear son, now tell me, O.' 'The curse of hell from me shall you bear, Mother, mother: The curse of hell from me shall you bear, Such counsels you gave to me, O.'
