this comment was the best and a fit description:

“No reasonable person thinks like this”

OMG you are soooo ignorant!

/sarcasm

Welcome to the world of the uber left wing and uber vocal social justice warrior Tumblr crowd. Everyone’s a special snowflake that will melt if they feel offended over anything, and believe me they will find something to be offended over.

Here at RPS, we have something of an audience that would be particularly enticed by seeing more female champions in the design of, say, League of Legend's Kayle or perhaps sporting some of the Souls' series conservative, practically sensible armour fashions. They find that such approaches are refreshing amidst the more common, titillating designs of heroic fantasy. Do you think yours is a game that might hope to approach an audience like ours? One that we also think wouldn't be especially alien to non-reader tastes.

There you go, RPS. There you go. I even tried to waffle around the point a little bit.

I feel oppressed by MATRIARCHY on how Lobo went from a manly bad-ass to a twilight-vampire-like pretty boy:

I wonder how many Codexers:
(a) whine whenever someone mentions that the platemail bikini thing might be a tad sexist

but ALSO....

(b) are amongst the first to cry 'FAAAGGGGOOOOTTTTT-EEELLLLLLFFFFF' with their fingers oustretched like Donald Sutherland at the end of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, whenever they see a game with the manga-ish style of a pretty-boy, feminine looking, ultra-thin youthly male lead?


You do realise it's the same thing in both cases, don't you? Presenting a character that quite a few members of one sex find rather attractive, but in a way that demeans the intelligence of everyone else. You know that feeling you get when you play a game with a Cloud style feminine pretty-boy character (ala Leonardo de Caprio circa Titanic)? It isn't a 'oh my sensibility is offended'. It's a 'WHY THE FUCK WOULD I WANT TO PLAY THAT GUY?' feeling. Why would a girl in a platemail bikini be any different?

Few mainstream feminist critics argue that there shouldn't be sex appeal, or nudity for that matter, in gaming. But just like you can do a male lead that has sex appeal without going the Cloud model, do you really need to go the female equivalent of Cloud in every single game?

Seems to me you failed to notice a slight difference between the "journo" and your typical codexer. While everyone lobbies for stuff according to their personal, subjective sensibilities, only the RPS guy and his likes claim to have the moral high ground while doing so. I see no problem saying "fuck you" to a dev when they choose to pander to a group one doesn't belong to, but screaming "bloody murder! you monsters!" when one is not catered to just outs you out as a manipulative sociopath. People can see through this faux ethics bullshit.

forgive my posting spree but that call of dooty doom parody is really funny. "art of movement", "this place... it's full of acid!", and so on. Great video

Poochie-Lobo is a cargo cult attempt at keeping contemporary since the space biker look is dated. DC sure as hell isn't trying to appeal to women.

Of course Roguey will agree with the sad little cunts shoehorning SJW into absolutely everything they do. How's your Tumblr Feminism working out for you? You change the world yet?
Non-exploitative designs aren't "shoehorning social justice warriorism."

The world is better than it was 50 years ago. It would be considered rapid progress if you keep the entirety of human history in mind.

Okay then:

50 years ago people were still measuring shirt length make sure it wasn't "indecent".

300 years ago a husband and wife kissing in public would get a public pillorying.


Seems we're :smug: moving backward...

Ah yes women having the freedom to choose how they dress and men being gross are the same because--

Unless they "choose" to dress in a manner that some Feminists consider "objectifying".

They are instantly "gender traitors", "self hating", or brainwashed witless pawns of (men being gross) "The Patriarchy..."

And speaking of the objectifying "Chainmail Bikini" Art Style, I wonder if you can tell me who the following women is...
Margaret_Brundage.jpg


Margaret Brundage, born Margaret Hedda Johnson (December 9, 1900 – April 9, 1976) was an American illustrator and painter who is remembered chiefly for having illustrated the pulp magazine Weird Tales. Working in pastels on illustration board, she created most of the covers for Weird Tales between 1933 and 1938.

Eh, I like how caricaturist drew bald spots and pot bellies on those comic book creators. So I guess if those two were looking like supermodels it wouldn't be sexist.

Holy shit, when did this happen? :lol: Don't be that girl! Don't rape my childhood!

It gets worse, here, have a screen from that comic:

jl232lobo658.jpg


He constantly talks to himself in those edgy black text boxes. And reminds us that we don't know him.

If anyone is curious you can find more of that in Justice League 23.2

It's not even that I necessarily disagree. The whole sexist issue aside, over-sexualised characters are simply dumb and unimaginative, but is it really necessary for RPS to bring it up every single chance they get? Not to mention that now they're even jumping at shadows. If a female character wears a tight suit in a game OMG SEXISM. If the camera lingers on a female's assets for half a second longer than RPS likes OMG SEXISM. If a female has boobs then OMG SEXISM.

If you want to bring a message across, it's in your best interest not to shove it down everyone's throats to the point where everyone wants to gag if they just so much as hear you open your mouth? Their message might not be bad, but their method of campaigning is so obnoxious that I'd rather shove pencils into my eyes than listen to them, much less agree with them.

who even reads comic books anymore? The same guys championing worthless social justice causes that's who (for the most part). They lament incessantly about women being objectified in their stupid, badly drawn comic books while not being able to stop reading them or drawing them that way. It's mostly low t social warriors cannibalizing other low t social justice warriors.

And what the hell is that caricature even talking about? The dialogue is utterly incomprehensible to someone who is not well versed in comic book batman current exploits and advanced womyn studies esoterica (ie sane people). "I am in control of my desires and they happen to be the same sort of CREEPY and immature desires some guys have". What the hell does that even mean. Are they implying comic book readers are sexually attracted to batman? or that a woman being attracted to batman is objectifying and sexist because women are supposed to be only attracted to low t social warrior? Whatever

I'm not talking about non-exploitative designs, I'm talking about RPS's insistence on shoehorning their SJW crusade in wherever they get the chance. There's a time and a place for everything. An interview about a MOBA is neither the time, nor the place.

I actually hope Blizzard refuses to grant these fucking clowns interviews in the future.

I love how those social justice fighters never comment anything about Japan because they are different culture and we have to be tolerant :smug:
RPS was shit before but because of their "tolerant" and "lets have educated discussion" crap you can't even say that gamepads blow in first person shooters without being yelled at, and being called a close minded pc supremacist. Also obviously you can't have power fantasies in games, books and movies anymore. Everything must be equally crap so some boring sad asshat will not get offended that they remind him of his shitty lifestyle.
I can't wait for their interview about new chess game and how its misoginistic to have only one female piece on board.

They've become completely unreadable. Perhaps all the staff in a van getting crushed by a truck in traffic is in our future.. nothing less than painful death will stop those assholes and their fucking agenda.

You know, I dislike most of the published Lobo material (especially the issues when they forgot he's a parody), but nobody deserves this.

Barry Allen is an utter, utter cunt.
