Then why isn't it ok to sexualize women in video games? The voice actors obviously are ok with it. You have no logical reason to not be ok with it. Furthermore, if I comment on Scarlett Johansen's breasts on Tumblr, I'd be ripped apart by tumblrinas claiming misogyny.

  • First of all, most of the time when women are sexualized in video games the game itself doesn't have sexual context. The woman running around fighting a war in a bronze bikini? Yeah, inappropriate. There's zero sexual context there and a skimpy suit of armor is ridiculous to go into battle with. And yeah, they probably would, because breasts aren't inherently sexual. Unless a woman is in front of you with her breasts in your face, purposely trying to turn you on, keep your comments about her breasts to yourself.

    [quote]inappropriate[/quote] You know most of these games are rated M for a reason right? I guess feminists aren't mature enough to recognize this nor value a character for their personality. Plus, you know it's fiction... right?

Neither of which is "most of the time". [quote]And yeah, they probably would, because breasts aren't inherently sexual.

Unless Prince is specifically in your face, flashing his stuff and trying to get you to get turned on, it's wrong according to your logic to comment on it like you did in this thread. It doesn't matter that he was in a movie acting suggestively. After all, it isn't like Scarlet over here hasn't done a movie full nude while trying to seduce men or anything... Oh wait....

  • If you're watching a scene from a movie where she's being sexual, fine. Outside of that context, not fine. It's not a difficult concept.

  • So because I've seen her breasts, unless I'm still watching the clip in the movie it isn't ok to comment on them. Makes total sense.
