Poll: Bayonetta Sexist?

[Moonlight Butterfly]

No its isn't. As was said in the females on female characters dicussion. 'Bayonetta is hot, but she's not hot for you.' She is a strong charismatic female lead who just happens to be sexy and have a suit made out of her hair.

She is also a mother but also very awesome and kick ass, somthing that is rarely done. I'd say that's anything but sexist.

 

[Dana22]

Nope, it doesn't fit the definition.

 

[Shameless]

It's not sexist, the game is just plain dumb.

 

[CrashBang]

Let me answer this with another question, is Dante sexist because he is an attractive male whose a bit flirty and doesn't like to wear a shirt?

Good answer!
No, not at all, she's a smart and sexy woman who uses her sexuality to her advantage. She doesn't 'flaunt' it, she merely accents it, which everyone has their right to do. She's a woman designed to be admired, not gawked at. There was a thread about how she's a strong female role model a few months back. Find it, search it, it was fantastically well-written

its jusr a terrible game thats a clone of many many many many ma... (you get the point) other like GOW but games, however i especially HATED the abuse of one of my favourite songs (Fly me to the moon) and wised to see the ratpack rise and destroy sega for heretic abuse of one of the last remaining bastions of unspoiled good music

(wow i've been ranting alot today)

so the gratuatous "oh my clothes have exploded from my naked body that is shaped more so than the worsnt role modle anyone would want for their daughter" money shot mere minutes in is empowering, yeah, oh, kaaay

 

[binvjoh]

No, I don't think so.

Also, I'd like to present: http://screwattack.com/videos/TGO-Episode-32-I-Heart-Bayonetta

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

No. Does it in any way belittle women? No, if anything, it makes them look bad-ass.

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Yes, to all those who are looking for it.
No, to all those not looking for it.

See, the whole thing's subjective. Like Politics, Religion, Relationships and everything else that has a dualistic approach.

I wouldn't say it's sexist, it's incredibly camp that's all. Nothing more nothing less, trying to read more into it is a little pointless.

To be honest it's fanservice for men the same way shirtless Dante was fanservice for women.

 

[Wondermint13]

No it's not.

 

[0thello]

I do not think this is a question MALES should be answering. Even in the height of misogyny males usually deny everything.

 

[Tipsythegza]

I didn't finish the game but from what i did i don't think it was at all.

 

[Samechiel]

No, not sexist.

Bayonetta OWNS her sexuality. Yeah, she's sexy, but she's not sexy for you.

I do not think this is a question MALES should be answering. Even in the height of misogyny males usually deny everything.

I have a vagina, if that makes you feel any better.

Behold, sexism.

What Bayonetta is isn't really sexist.
Though personally I just think its pandering to the pocket-mining demographic.

At least when dante walks and shoots its to look cool the way he holds his gun, when bayonetta does the simple thing of walking and shooting she pretty mauch shakes her ass and poses.

Dante is to be cool, Bayonetta is one GAINT fetish and eye candy.

 

[cainx10a]

I think I would take care of the kids, the house, and the kitchen while she is out busting angelic nuts.

She's definitely my favorite female character. She's actually badass unlike a lot of other wannabe badasses.

 

[scorptatious]

I don't really think she's sexist at all.

Now if she were in a position where she acts completely helpless and has to rely on a big strong man to help her out most of the time, then yeah, she probably would be kind of sexist. For the most part though, she can take care of herself.

Now if the question was if she was "sexual", then I would totally agree.

 

[briunj04]

Sexist? I don't think it's necessary saying one sex is better than the other, but it's pretty flashy and sexuality is dripping through it's strained seams. If you associate that with sexism, yeah it's pretty sexist
