That was pre-2016 - the time period where everything woke wasn't actually woke. So, Ripley showing up all the marines in Aliens; not woke. Sarah Conner being toned as fuck in T2; not woke. Eowyn saying "I am no man" right before slaying the Witch King in Return of the King; not woke.
So stupid and having their heads up their own asses. Especially the part with the mohawk. You saw her with the Mohawk in one of the live action movies, and now you're going to complain? Storm had the Mohawk in the 1980s so none of you have the right to complain. Like I said before, most of these people aren't even actual fans; they're just parasites pretending to be fans.
I won't be surprised when reactionaries start complaining "woke" Disney made a black woman and a disabled man two of the most powerful mutants.
Because her characterization didn't come at the cost of all the people around her.
See above. Arnold was the star, and her strength didn't overtake that but also neither did his. They were equals in story importance and activity.
I agree, I don't understand the mohawk thing. Girls were big into mohawks during the 80's punk revolution thing and it meant nothing.
You know most of those jackasses don't care, have forgotten about that little detail, or will hide behind it when it's convenient because they otherwise have nothing else to stand on. Not they did in the first place.
It meant something to the girls doing it. The mohawk for ladies has come back, albeit, in a different fashion. We already discussed the Gwen Stacy haircut back in 2023. Now as far as actual traditional mohawks, it wouldn't be surprising when those eventually come back or already have. Funny enough nobody complained about the Amazons with Mohawks and God Hand either, though most people don't know that game even today. They're in bikinis with spiked nipples anyway, so those twats wouldn't cry about it anyway.
No, I agree. That would be better. But then folks would probably start complaining about her looking too slutty or something.She would look so much better if she was just in a good one piece. Could even be one of those sexy ones like this.
Probably not, its a bathing suit, there is a certain amount of built in sexyness from that. If its a gratuitous swimming scene like that stupid as fuck hot spring that shows up in the middle of a dungeon in FFX2 then I can see complaining about it.
And?
So the whole lot of these complainers should just own it, then. Stop pretending it's about respecting the character, or artistic vision, or anything aside from expecting women to be nothing but eye candy.
I mean maybe if the creeps and the "journalists" could just ignore each other and live and let live, everything would be a whole lot better.
It's the creeps that are the bigger problem than the "journalists". I'm not coming for their defense either, but at least with the journalist they say the one thing and then move on for a long while (until the next time). The creeps will go on 24/7 Non-Stop. Especially the ones that live their lives on youtube, facebook, and Twitter. Even when the journalist ignore them, the creeps are almost always the ones to instigate it or make it worse. Especially the ones that follow rage baiters or are the rage baiters themselves.
Have we even identified this as an actual "news" story? Cause despite this specific thread, I haven't heard of this from anyone. And the initial post is just screen grabs so it doesn't even link to anything.
No. It's already been established at the news story is fake and someone made it up. I'm just pulling out the usual patterns and what's happened beforehand when it involves how a woman looks or dresses or whatever in a video game.
I thought so. So why is Critical pretending it is real? Other then the expected reason?
I don't know. Last I checked even he agreed that the rumors are false, and he had no problem admitting that. It's just all about what will happen "next time", because of journos or whatever, or sometimes down playing the creeps problems and making it seem like Japan is perfect with everything in their media nor don't have any problems with social pressure and issues. Though really, it's Dreiko that is suffering the worse with this and doesn't even seem to get it when the truth is revealed.
Let me get this straight. If I spend any time on this and don't agree with you I'm a creep, and if spend any time on this and I do agree with you I'm a well adjusted individual. Uh... alright then. Hello, I'm a creep. Nice to meet you, and no I don't have anything better to do.
And don't forget Anita Sarkeesian! She personally pisses in gamers' corn flakes! Every morning!
She must be very busy and drink lots of water.
