The heels perfect that outfitCapcom certainly never received enough shit for that outfit tbh. Literally a character possibly created in response to allegations of racism and then they include not only that an African tribe section, but gave her this outfit:
and also made sure to make her character exclusive weapon a BOW?
Like bruh...
What is it with you and your weirdo off topic ramblings about sexualised men in threads where women and others disscuss how damaging media that objectifies women is
aw that thread is dead and honestly there is so much to be said about how anime and anime inspired games come together and inspire each other, so honestly just give the anime disscussions a chance cause it might leads us to better discussions on how games do that shit as wellHow many times will I have to post this reminder... :\
Feminist Discussion of Anime and Manga |OT| Not your waifu OT
This is largely going to be a thread where people can discuss feminist theory of anime and manga as well as recommend ones that you believe show positive feminism. First let's briefly go over feminist theory. What is Feminist Theory? Feminist theory covers a broad range of topics, but for this...www.resetera.com

Even in that one it only shows his skull at the end, and his entire head is out of frame during the death.
This is one of this things that makes me feel like reality has descended into parody.The late 00's early 10's got pretty bad. The worst for me was the Dead Island Bust

Which game was it that came with a free mousemat of an anime girl, with her breasts as the wrist rest??The late 00's early 10's got pretty bad. The worst for me was the Dead Island Bust
Yeah I agree. I mean something like what we just had where "Hey the posing in this setup is very similar to what this anime did and that was all about sex yadda yadda" I think is unavoidable. But something like an actual anime discussion should be done in the other thread. Just my two cents. Not trying to backset mod. We're just getting into the fall season with a bunch of new shows, so I'm sure that thread will become active again soon.
Those are so popular, I don't think it's just one...
That describes so many games that you're gonna have to be more specific...
Yeah, I had a feeling it was a recurring thing...
It certainly acts a warning sign for me. I love anime style art too, so it sucks that so much of it is steeped in deeeeeeeeep sexism.
While there are number of men that participate in this thread, there are also a lot of active women/non-men in here. Plus a woman mod watching over the thread. Regardless, you're cool and I have no qualms with you. It's really men that are super invested in anime and accept/defend the status quo that I just can't deal with.
I imagine they were trying to think of footwear and then realized even while barely wearing anything she has to wear heels because of her default outfit and the walking anims.
Technology limitations are a big factor here. A reminder that during that era it was incredibly rare for character faces to actually move during gameplay. A better comparison would be games during the same console generation. RE5/6 featured a lot more close ups of the face during death scenes.
To be fair to him, he asked for volunteers and only started it when there weren't any.

I don't remember the overall reaction to this news, but to me it always seemed really insulting to its audience (and Lara as a character). And low-key misogynistic tbh.
I once replayed theu uc1 and 2 on ps4 and its constant shoot outs bored me. Fancy graphics can only entertain me for so long before i realize i keep doing the same gameplay loop over and over.
People in general did not seem to care for the statement and turned "you'll want to protect her" into a joke response in TR threads over the internet.
Yeah, Thorani reminds me of either a strong maternal figure or a counselor more than anything else. Thorani's animations seem... let's be generous and say excessive?
On the subject of Skullgirls, does anyone remember that topic in NeoGaf where a guy exposited his belief that the game's off-putting character designs were the reason of why it wasn't hugely successful? That remains as one of the most on-point threads I've ever read on that site.Indivisible is by the skull girls people right? They are pretty all over the place with some super hyper sexualized gross character designs, but every now and then you also get some gems.
I loved Peacock.
Nothing suggests that Skullgirls wasn't successful commercially.
Now that I remember, the guy made the topic around Skullgirls' lack of popularity in the FGC and chalk it up solely to the artstyle.
Were they talking about the cheesecake or the macabre element cause I feel like the cheesecake element wouldn't be that off putting in the FGC. Like, there's a lot of T&A but T&A is passé. The more standout element was the weirdness of it. People throwing their heads and spines to fight.
Darkstalkers would be the closest comparison in regards to overall weirdness/macabre vibe, and also doesn't get as much attention (particularly by Capcom standards).
I could see the developers using her being a maternal figure as justification for the ample bosom. 🙄 I didn't mean to seem 100% certain about her being a creep, it just came off that way from the dialogue bit I heard.
Yep, the breast bouncing is excessive. It's worse than your standard anime fanservice, though at least both breasts are bouncing in unison.
Yeah and to a degree she has won the heart of a pirate lady
