So, since we’re on the subject anyway, when do y’all think IS an appropriate time for someone to show skin
I get not liking when a female character is all **** out and acting promiscuous, but I don’t get being offput merely by the sight of someone’s large chest
Meh, though then again it seems I think a bit differently than most people about this kinda thing so maybe It’s a moot point
I think this is a great question.
As a straight white guy, have I found certain women in gaming attractive? Yes. Have I found some sexy, sure. Do I appreciate games where the sexualization of women is completely over the top? No, not really.
Like, take Mortal Kombat 9 for example. That game came out when I was in high school. Yes, I thought some of the characters were at the time attractive. However, at this point in my life I find the outfits in that game to be ridiculous and just...stupid. In what world does a woman fighting another person just have huge breasts that are only covered by a skimpy combat vest thing, if you can call it that.
For me, it entirely depends on context. I personally think that the United States views sexuality in an honestly weird way. A lot of things get perverted, REAL quick, make no mistake. I don’t think sexuality, or expressing someone’s sexuality in a healthy way should be frowned upon or actively looked down upon.
Men want to ****. There are times when, believe it or not, women want to ****. There’s nothing wrong with either of those things, and if a woman wants to “feel sexy” in her own way, then she should be allowed to do that without being called a ****, *****, or tramp.
I mean, if the context is a game in which the designs are solely sexualized for the fanservice then yeah, that’s kinda...weird.
Sexuality should not be stigmatized. Men nor women should be stigmatized when it comes to sex. I mean, we’re also talking about a game in which people can get cut literally in half and we can see every single major organ. To me, that’s disgusting at this age. It’s not a draw. I personally think that a disillusionment from the actual implications of violence is worse for society than sexuality is.
Granted, nothing is black and white. Young men haven’t been raised to respect women the way they should (which is why in addition to strong women as role models for girls, young men need role models that aren’t always violent and “getting the girl”), but that’s something I feel can be worked on. The more violence young people see, it seems like it’s more normalized. It just...seems like people think violence is normal.
Long story short, women and men should be able to express their sexuality as they like as long as they are in control of themselves. It’s not up to me to say what a woman should do when she wants to “feel sexy”. It’s not my business what other people do in the bedroom. Nobody should tell a man or woman they “have” to do anything they aren’t comfortable with.
