I guess you could consider me to be a gamer. While I don’t play all the time, I do have quite a collection of video games on various systems as well as watching an online show called ‘Video Games Awesome’ quite regularly. I should know this already know this as I did a demographic survey of the people watching VGA but there is many a time where I get SO ANGRY at the typical late teen/20 something white nerdy guy.
They were watching a trailer for the latest Tomb Raider and of course the topic of her unrealistic boob size came up. The host, Fraser mentioned that her breast size had been reduced as well as mentioning in the previous trailer that ‘it’s good to finally see a normal girl. ie. a female character that didn’t have such unrealistic sized breasts that they defy the laws of gravity.
OF COURSE the typical ‘gamer’ demographic were outraged about this and one dipshit even said ‘this game must have been made by a feminist’
I FUCKING CAN’T RN
I tried calling that one person out on their shit but it’s so, so hard when it’s basically just one person (me) trying to educate the others. It’s like covering your finger over one hole in a bucket when there’s hundreds of others still gushing water.
Why is it that disgusting male gamers think that it’s THEIR RIGHT to see all female video game characters in skimpy clothing, all with the same body shape (big boobs/small waist) and their ALLOWED to be outraged when something doesn’t follow this shameful stereotypical monster that has been created?
I just wish that the 99% of the gaming community and game creator community could be wiped out ~the ark style~ and formed again with decent and intelligent people from all races, genders and sexual orientations.
I’d really like to voice my opinion on their forum but I know that I would get shot down immediately which in turn will just make me even more furious.
SERIOUSLY
Completely agreeing with you here. Sometimes I feel like chat consists nothing of misogynist pricks, and it just makes the crew look bad to have all that displayed on screen.
I’m actually gifing that right now, along with others!
So, uh, yeah. I watch a show called Video Games Awesome where they, uh, play video games. The host of the show, Fraser, mentioned that his cats, Hugo and Ruddager, looked like the two characters from the game Journey. So, uh, I drew his cats. In Journey costumes things.
… Yeah.
I was going to do more with the background but I decided ‘eff that’ and just went with this. I worked harder on the actual designs rather then it making any sense.
“Everyone always complains that Fraser should let one of the others play more often but after seeing Becky playing Super Mario Galaxy I’m not so sure that is a good idea.”
(ooh harsh! -Rants)
