Subject must of got me a bit flustered

Some would have everyone believe that just because you see an attractive female and you let your appreciation show it’s sexist or objectifying.

News flash to all the women/girls reading this…you have more power in a simple smile & polite hello than most of you will ever realize!

Some what to be recognized and treated as a woman but all hell breaks loose of there ever a hint of acknowledging any attractive features.

Well guess what ladies, it’s your sex that make you a woman and thus different. Differences provokes interest and biology provides the rest lol

To put it plainly, just because a guy sees and acknowledges that a woman /female has different parts that catches his eye…doesn’t mean we don’t or can’t see the forest for the trees so to speak

We see the whole package, some parts just stand out a bit more than others at first glance!

It’s a matter of perspective I guess, but I’d suggest enjoying it instead of trying to fight it…you do realize you catch more flies with honey instead of vinegar right???

Regards and Respect to females and their forms everywhere!

And similar events happen in a mall or club every day. A girl with a healthy bust and fit physic gets noticed, just the way it is. Yes other other aspects of a person’s character like a great personality is just as or more important in the long run…but a good personality doesn’t turn heads at first glance now does it

I’m just saying…it’s been put in movies and games and ALL kind of marketing for a reason. It gets attention (rightly so imo) and it’s a bit of fun.

Best make your peace with it because basic anatomy isn’t changing any time soon

btw all girls secretly want to be objectified, it’s science

think anyone’s gonna buy Real Life Simulator 2009 (now with taxes!)? doubt it.

also there are plenty of “unrealistic” (sexy, buff, skilled, intelligent and generally interesting) dudes in video games. hear many dudes complaining? nope. hear women crying for more fat, ugly, nerdy, sweaty, awkward and socially incompetent dudes in video games? nope. why? because no one wants to look at ugly people.

got a real kick out of the last paragraph. It’s a Male Industry directed at Men! oh noes! it will never change unless you do something about it. no game company cares about you, or women in general. you don’t buy enough games to matter. if you start buying games, you validate the current dynamic. therefore your only real option is to get some capital and start your own gaming companies. this has been done, there are several gaming companies owned by women already. as expected, the games usually end up being pretentious graphics-enhanced books designed to showcase how artsy, profound and emotionally complex the creators are, and bring a whole new level of boring to the gaming world. thanks!

by the way, normative judgments are irrelevant when it comes to video games. there is only one thing that matters, and that is profit. morality and artistic integrity are distant also-rans, if they are considered at all. any argument about whether this is the way it “should” be is masturbation. nothing “should” be any way or another. everything just is; nothing has meaning. except money. and boobs.

Honestly, reading these comments depressed me. It’s not that it’s “getting old,” that it’s “unrealistic” or that I’m prudish because I can’t take a little nudity. It’s INSULTING. It’s insulting to me as a human being of the female sex. You can claim it won’t affect how men and women think, but how could it not? If you’re staring at certain images for however many hours of your life, of course they are going to affect you in some way; the fact that you are unaware that they may affect you can make the effect all the stronger. The saddest part is that the portrayal must also in some capacity reflect already existing attitudes, not just promote them. I think the proof for that assertion comes in some of the comments here.

Not to go on a long harangue about it, but Opinionated’s comments particularly disturbed me.

“I’m on the whole very sympathetic to women’s issues and I’m for equality. But the woman’s position in society has developed over thousands of years, and it’s not gonna change for real in a few decades…”

What do you think life was like in 1950 for a woman? Men can brush these issues off easily because they don’t feel the privilege they have because they were born with it. As a woman, I still feel like I am disadvantaged in many respects, but it’s the work of the generation before mine that changed this informal law from a formal one. Only a few decades ago, newspapers printed wanted ads in separate male and female sections, women couldn’t live independent, respectable lives without men; women were simply seen as _lower_.

Thousands of years? Are you aware that the low status of women largely came as a result of the Industrial Revolution, and that the relative status of women has varied greatly over these thousands of years? Don’t let the goodie homemaker/male breadwinner post-WWII stereotype fool you.

I’m trying not to get too steamed up about this, but I’m just shocked at the attitudes I find in this thread. Maybe the complacency comes from thinking women _are_ actually equal in society these days. Today, in 2008, women still only make 75¢ for every dollar a man makes. These are real issues.

I get upset at these remarks because it encourages a lack of respect for women, and the idea that women exist for the pleasure of men. Not to get frighteningly statistical on you all, but I always remember vividly that battering is the single largest cause of physical injury to women and that rape is really frighteningly rampant. Portraying women in this way, not as the exception but as the rule, in media (and I’m not just blaming video games) enforces the general opinion that these behaviors are ultimately options (or even acceptable).

I’m not saying make characters ugly, I’m just saying this is a real issue that deserves real consideration, not something for idle jokes and heterosexual posturing. As stitch says, it also shows a complete disregard for women’s interests in advertising and video game development. It’s a male industry directed at men, and it makes women invisible.

No, I don’t want to play a video game with female characters that are 30 lbs overweight, flat chested and gigantically assed.

I find the bouncing boobies much more entertaining.

When it comes to BOOB-PHYSICS; my only complaint is when there all set the same!

there’s nothing worse than a set of B’s flopping around like there G’s
OR a set of J’s that have as much spring as a set of A’s

I find it really sad that we as a people will allow insane amounts of violence but BOOBAGE is where we draw the line?!

I would rather see my nephew thumbing through a copy of Juggs than Guns n Ammo.

Also, too much time spent on the tits, not so much on the booty.

I understand that guys need their fantasies. It’s part of their nature. Men have always fantasized and they always will about nicer breasts than the ones they have access to.

I have of course generalized. There is a minority of men and boys who are obviously not able to separate fantasy and reality.
But most guys are able to realize, that no matter how fantastic digital breasts may look, gropeable real ones ALWAYS win. And if they don’t see that and would rather sit and play with their digital lovelies, they probably wouldn’t get/don’t deserve a real woman anyway and are certainly not the kind of males I want anywhere near my gene pool.

You want realism? How about a game where the women with the big boobs have to deal with ACTUAL PHYSICS in using a sword or bow. There’s a REASON real martial artists wear sports bras to hold their boobs in OUT OF THE WAY!
