Plea to devs to address the sexism

Only thing im missing in this game is a grace and dominant presence of an Amazon class character from D2.

Sexist to some, or shear admiration of femininity, who are we to say ?

All I see in this thread is people criticising OP, now for you to come in here and claim that people are white-knighting is... and I'm sorry to say this... absolutely retarded.


I don't get it? Why would I use this term in an attempt to instill an appearance of superiority? Why would anyone? Is this somehow a difficult term and I just didn't notice? Is it like "munchkin"?

If by "absolutely retarded" you mean "can't be buggered to read 20+ pages" then yes, you hit the nail on the head with remarkable accuracy. Good job.

To clarify, by "here" I mean this topic as a whole and not this thread in isolation wich is only one of several representations of the (nonsesical) issue and others like it.

Now, can I get my IQ back? I'm not asking for much, just enough to open doors and peel bananas so I don't lock myself in and starve to death.

So you didn't even read the thread but decided to comment on it anyway. I rest my case.
#1 Victim of Murphy's Law.
The very first page is somewhat Misogynystic, but that's because the community responds to people being idiots by making them angry: and clearly that was going to bother the OP. Get in even a few pages and you'll see people speaking of how stupid the OP's statement is, and how hypersensitive it is.

As I said last page, I am a girl, and I do care about feminism; but I'd prefer to waste my time on real issues, not made up ones like the OP presents. There is nothing sexist about the globes.

I read the op, a bunch of posts and the better part of the reddit discussion. From there I commented on a topic not unseen before, in wich unspecified and unfortunately misguided people takes a stand against a percieved injustice and in doing so becomes a part of the very problem they oppose.

You know, you don't have to be an ass only because you spot an opportunity to, even if this is the internet. But perhaps that's just what you do to "make yourself feel superior"? If so then please, by all means go ahead. I wouldn't want to impose.

So many pathetic reactions on this thread ( not that it's surprising actually ), video game's communities definitely have to change, there is a lot of work to do for this matter ....

The OP definitely has a valid point, and it's probably about changing couple of skins in the game.
I'm wondering if it could be done localy though, but it would be nice if GGG could considerate this thread and give the player an option to change it.

Hi

I thought this sexism issue would be involving the fact that players can't have feminine versions of their characters or the marauder saying ''Go back to your husband Merveil'' or even the way the scion looks(pretty stereotypical blond female). Last time I checked basically all previous ARPG games I have played have had women around your, um, balls of life and mana.

This game isn't intentionally sexist though there is naked men statues all over, go fight the marketplace boss statue and stare at there marble cock!! (someone put up a pic, plz), all of the miscreations are mostly male and naked.

Truthfully though it has never bothered me I remove my clothes I AM NAKED I have had to learn to live with it, maybe you too need to realize the real problem is your uncomfortable with your body and don't need to be reminded of it via a video game. I also admit though that video games were initially made, fuck even games in general throughout history have always been a guy thing to engender the female spectator into dating them. It is only fairly recently that we have begun to treat females as equals and to realize females like to play games too, not to mention they are just as horny as us but I still think GGG has females on their staff that have equal say in the development of this game.

Maybe if player could post the response from dev to prove the issue of sexist response from dev for better light on this issue.

I don't think it's jsut about seeing naked women.
Here, they are chained as if they were slaves, I can understand not making everyone confortable.

I would also like to see a dev react here.

Here's a barbaric style of dress the OP and like-minded Reddit posters may find a more appropriate representation of modern tastes and sensibilities:

I hate feminist women. I was married to a feminist. My mistake and it didn't last long.

Everything is about them. Everything offends them. It's all about their rights and respect and how they see things, while they shit on everyone else.
