That kind of thing always makes me wonder whether they've ever seen a woman up close, and also whether that's because the woman doesn't want them to be.
I'm sure they have. And I mean, we all have skin, right?

This is no longer a 'basement dwelling nerd' issue. It's an issue of wanting to control how women look, which I guess it's always been, even when we still viewed these people as harmless, virgin geeks.

And while we're on the subject of Tim Ballerd, remember when he did this?

And they're still cowards who get their asses kicked, if they tried controlling how women look. Especially in Detroit. The ladies will stomp'em in the nuts twice as hard.

Society has ingrained this into my brain so thoroughly that I still have significant positive reaction to the former and a significant negative reaction to the latter. No matter how much I've tried to unlearn this bias it's still there.
You're still allowed to have personal preferences you know. It's okay if it's not your thing.

Being somewhat put off by two men kissing, and not by a man and a woman or two women, isn't a personal preference though. At least not a personal preference one comes to on their own accord.

Don't beat yourself up too hard about it. At least you're honest about it. Two guys kissing really does nothing to me, and I've seen so much worse on the internet, it became a non issue when I was in my early to mid 20s.

We all have our biases, and none of us came by them all of our own device. So long as you have the self-awareness to question yourself, you're better off than many.

Huh? Yes it is.
Also, on an erotic level two guys kissing may not be my thing, but narratively, when it's part of a pay-off in a love story and has emotional weight, Im all in.

Article is in Dutch, but the short of it is that in a poll gauging the popularity of political parties in Flanders the fascists (Vlaams Belang) came out on top with 23,3%. Ugh, just why. The other right wing but less so party (NV-A) got 20.4%, which is lower than last elections. Good, they suck, just not as much. The center right catholics (CD&V) rose to 14%. They're partly responsible for the current situation, like pretty much every political issue in the last 100 or so years, but sure.

As for the left. The social democrats (Vooruit) rose to 16,1%. Meh. The socialists (PVDA) rose 8,8%. Whatever. The greens (Groen) dropped to 8,2%. Also whatever.

And finally, the liberals (Open VLD) are the big losers, dropping 7,9%. Great, all they do is suck money's cock.

We got federal and regional elections coming up next june. Shit is gonna be fun times.

Biases are heavily influenced by the society in which you are raised, and if that society generally fetishizes two women kissing and ridicules or even smears two men kissing (eventhough one is no different from the other), that's going to form a discriminatory basis in your mind that can be hard to completely shake. If you're aware this is a you problem and not a problem with gay people, then... it still sucks that this bias is there, but you can continue to work through that. However a lot of people will view this personal preference very much as a problem with gay people, specifically gay men, resulting in insults or even violence when two guys dare to kiss or even hold hands in public.

There's nothing wrong personally with having a thing for two women kissing but not two men, but this preference is informed by a bias that very much exists and causes harm outside of erotic fantasies.

There is a difference between having a bias and acting negatively against a group due to bias

And if you don't have a bias, you are just lying to yourself

But in all seriousness where is the Ada Campaign where you are a doppelganger in Leon's campaign?
That's RE6, and that entire sub-plot sucks.

It's a skintight sweater dress and dominatrix boots. She also has jiggle physics and has at least two shots focusing on her ass. How is this not feminine enough for these losers?
Ignore them. They can cry and biatch all they want, but those assholes don't matter in the long run. Besides, her having a full sweater makes sense any way, and having a boob window and back makes no sense during the cold fall season with heavy rain.

It couldn't possibly be for the reason that they decided it didn't fit the character. No, women in games are supposed to look as sexy as possible for lonely guys to beat their meat to.
That's the crazy thing. The outfit she has now is still designed for sex appeal, even if it shows less skin.
