Racism and sexism in art depictions typically exaggerate features with the intention of making the depicted appear less than equal or human. Blacks looking like apes, chinese looking like rats, ect. The femine features they chose to exaggerate, while not being triple D-cup tits and all, I could easily still seeing other women being offended by.

Its cool, though, because its based off of the champion of women, Anita.

But you see, its still sexist and unrealistic. A female warrior wouldnt go to war with two metal plates on her shoulders and two metal plates over her breasts, but her entire midriff exposed. Similarly how no healthy female should have a thigh gap that wide.

I thought the object was to show less of the differences between men and women in games, both in attire and in body design. Armor without tit-plates and midriff gaps, helmets that don't open up the face just because a chick is wearing them.

That thigh gap is 100% exaggerating women.

Still not convinced that Anita isn't just a professional troll going after video games only because gamers are notoriously easy to to get a reaction out of.

Nah, she's just a con artist. Here, have a video no one will watch anyway.

**Teryu** · 2015-02-11 02:13

I've seen that video before, it's pretty accurate if you ask me.

Speaking of which, what do you guys bet the Anita knockoff in the SVU episode tomorrow night ends up shooting a fat white nerd with a fedora?

So apparently there are some 'developers' who have 'asked' for her 'help' to 'aid' them with their 'game.' Do we have a list of said 'developers'?

Probably these: http://store.steampowered.com/curato...ist-Frequency/

Alternatively, whoever McIntosh says.

I love the description she gives: "Games with dynamic or well designed female characters. As well as emotionally impactful games with an emphasis on themes of cooperation, empathy or social justice."

so pretty much all games that don't have those qualities are sexist, misogynistic, oppressive smut that should never be created. And if you enjoy games that aren't like that you are part of a HUGE problem and should kill yourself. #equality

You know, as black as I am, I'm really, really glad there isn't some NAACP chapter trying to promote FUBU games. For as much as this women's movement is actually trying to accomplish tangible, sensible things (I hate battle bikinis in high fantasy as much as anyone), this shit is annoying.

You can pursue an agenda without demonizing the "other side".

The world doesn't need more games "for" anyone. The world needs more GOOD games.

You can probably find these people listed under "People who dont like to make money".

Put it this way. I watched more of "The Box" back in the day than I've ever watched of BET.
