This thread is fucking groundhog day. I really commend the regulars here for having the stamina and resolve to keep calmly explaining the same basic things over and over to the photocopied schmucks that don't bother reading the thread or even the OP and regurgitate the same fallacious arguments over and over. I simply can't muster the patience or energy today.
I could do a flow diagram at this point, it wouldn't be complicated:
1) "Why women dislike sexualization"
2) Pick one:
2.a) "But not all women have this opinion" said a man stating the obvious and ignoring the multiple women opinions in the thread.
2.b) "But men are sexualized too" said a man ignoring the 100 to 1 ratio and assuming the likes of Kratos are sexualization.
2.c) "But why do you care" said a man as if that wasn't the point of the thread and explained in the OP and throughout the thread.
2.d) "But I don't care" said a man, proud of his lack of empathy, "and therefore neither should you".
2.e) "But games shouldn't cater to one demographic" said a man implying that treating the female characters the same as the male ones is somehow aiming at a 'demographic' rather than a broader appeal (and hypocritically / self-unawarely ignoring games being laser-focused on one demographic).
2.f) "But not all games have to cater to all demographics" said a man completely bypassing the OP that makes the point that like 80% of games sexualize women, leaving women with one fifth of the games if they were to avoid sexualization.
2.g) "But creative freedom / don't take away our tits" said a man as if the OP was arguing for the magical, wholesale removal of all and every sexualized woman (as if that was remotely possible) rather than asking for a semblance of balance.
3) Explanations.
4) Man: "Just having a discussion here" / tone policing / different opinions card.
5) Further explanations.
6) Pick one:
6.a) Man is exposed for the concern troll he is, everyone ignores him.
6.b) Man leaves unconvinced, when he realizes his opinions, which he thought groundbreaking, aren't causing an epiphany on anyone.
7) Go back to 2)
