I gotta ask, am I the only one getting really, REALLY tired of this discussion?
I've been a gamer a long time. My first "console" was a commodore 64 that my dad used to write games on. My first actual console was an Atari 2600. First PC game I ever played was on an old Windows 3.x IBM machine. I've been gaming a very long time, but until the last few years I was never really involved in the gaming community. Then I joined the escapist and subsequently a lot of other communities and really got involved in a lot of it. And I've been listening to this sad agruement for long enough.
Here's what I think. I think that all these women that are complaining about the breast size in games aren't offended. They're jealous. They're jealous that their breasts aren't as big. They're jealous that their boyfriend wants to play games rather than spend time with them. They're jealous that they have something to compete with in society. Well, here's a news flash: We ALL compete in society, be it in breast size, penis size, status, income, possessions, what have you. Jealousy is the only reason I can see that this arguement keeps getting dredged up and I mean dredged up literally out of the bottom of the septic tank because every time it comes up it is the same shit all over again. "Women are being objectified!" "Women are being opressed!" Women enjoy the most freedom in the US and most other 1st and 2nd world countries than they ever have in the history of this PLANET, and that's a long damn history to compare it to. So since we can throw out the archaic, 1960s, bra-burning feminist-esque tirade against video games, the ONLY thing I can come back to is the fact that women are just plain jealous over a bunch of pixels.
Time to grow up, bitches.
And I mean that seriously. Games are not going to change for you, not the way you want them to. It's time to grow up and face facts. Men like breasts. They like big breasts, small breasts, your breasts, their breasts, unless they're gay they like ALL breasts. I think Jeff Foxworthy said it best, "It could be some old biker chick, you know they're gonna hang down to here. She says 'You wanna see mah titties?' 'Yeah I do.'" This whole inferiority complex that you're using as a crutch to launch some kind of crusade against the persecution against women in video games is a fasade. There are going to be big breasts in video games, just like there are going to be big breasts in the real world. So if you're going to decry video games for making women look bad, you might also want to go after all the women in the real world too. Afterall, those women that get breast implants are just doing it to get the attention of men! And those women that were born with naturally huge breasts, well they're just a genetic abnormality and should be ignored!
Bottom line is this: it's time to grow up or shut up. If women want to spend the rest of their lives complaining about the digital women in video games, I'm tired of listening. I'm tired of listening to the same tired arguements over and over by people with no backbone and tissue thin skin that choose to wear their feelings right out there on their sleeves with a sign that says "Hurt Here". The world is not going to change just because you don't like a part of it. If you're jealous because someone else has bigger breasts than you, you have two options. Either start stuffing your shirt, or if you got money start stuffing your breasts, OR you can do the sensible thing, be an adult and move on to something that ACTUALLY matters. I'm sure you can find something once you stop acting like a petty, spoiled child crying because you weren't born with the best toys.
I saw a tv show once with a women that had MMM size breasts. That is not a typo. Her breasts seriously were the size of beach balls. How come I haven't seen THAT in a video game?
