Nice to see someone willing to buck the trend rather than re-tread it.<br /><br />But wait a moment, does that mean that certain men like playing those testoreone fuelled handsome Gods as well?<br /><br />Damn, who would have ever thought of that...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989432575811376835.post-47288966145895881452010-04-14T15:41:18.066-06:002010-04-14T15:41:18.066-06:00I took no offense at your article at all.

But I see a bombarment on the WoW forms complaining about "plate bikinis" or certain achievements.<br /><br />At my school, there are feminist discussion groups who just reinforce that as a woman, I apparently need a support group.<br /><br />I would love to see more females in all forms of media that were portrayed as attractive, but also intelligent and capable.<br /><br />But I think it gets taken too far by some people, and just serves to widen the gap and instead of breaking down the stereotypes they are fighting against, simply reinforce them.Jaded Scribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13126341962972699955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989432575811376835.post-34364829993481964752010-04-14T15:27:18.034-06:002010-04-14T15:27:18.034-06:00Aw, crap.

Did I give the impression that I don't like pretty things?<br /><br />Because I definitely do.<br /><br />I'm glad you feel comfortable and confident enough to stand up and say what you've said. I just feel there are some out there who don't, and they've no reason to feel any trepidation. <br /><br />And I don't disagree with you. There's nothing wrong with looking good and kicking ass. Like I said, Alyx Vance, Farah and Samus Aran are all great examples. I might even get a kick out of Bayonetta myself if her running animations weren't so annoying and the gameplay just a rip-off of Devil May Cry. "Go ahead and look, boys, I know you want to," says the witch who will blow you into next week if you cross her. It takes the piss out of sexualization and I can dig that.<br /><br />I didn't mean to inform you of your own opinion. Nor did I mean to say that I think YOU should be offended by some of this. It's my personal opinion that there should be more positive female role models out there in general, focused more on being smart & capable than just being what society at large accepts as "attractive". <br /><br />Could be I'm just talking out of my ass, though. I mean, I *am* male.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02217289565334531840noreply@blogger.com
