@fbueckert Why isn't Bayonetta a power fantasy for women then? What I don't get is that a lot of people agree that male characters are part of a power fantasy, often over women. But there's LOADS of female characters that have exagerrated power, particularly over men.

James

@fredley Haha, saw this a couple of days ago.. Its pretty good until I found out its a PSA :D

GnomeSlice

blargh, I'm gonna get myself banned.

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice Because she's completely unrealistic.

fredley

@James Don't care if it is, it's still awesome

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert The dude from God of War isn't?

FAE

20:01

@GnomeSlice Because Bayonetta's "strength" is in her sexualization, not her actual inherent agency as a character.

user15026

@fredley Have you seen the Curiosity version of this?

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice You're missing the point entirely.

GnomeSlice

@FAE Can't she fly or something?

@fbueckert Apparently so.

James

@GnomeSlice Do they actually have power over men or are they just exerting sexual tension/control over men? Are you really stating that men are no better than mindless boob watchers?

badp

Re: that PAR article. I'm still rather surprised by the outcome, given that those underdog titles must include the likes of, yknow

Borderlands

GnomeSlice

20:01

@James No...

badp

Mass Effect

Lara Croft

etc.

James

@GnomeSlice Did you play Bayonetta?

GnomeSlice

@badp gamefront.com/sexism-in-gaming-5-reasons-its-a-thing

@James No, actually, but I know enough about it to know what's up.

fredley

@AshleyNunn No...

James

@GnomeSlice Naked chic wrapped up in her own hair?

GnomeSlice

20:02

@James Yeah, pretty much.

James

That sound like a typical female role model?

GnomeSlice

With a motorcycle.

badp

@GnomeSlice that's not what I'm referring to. I'm referring to the study that says that games with female playable characters, including games with gender selection, in them are 1. few and far between 2. poorly publicized and 3. poorly selling

GnomeSlice

@James Are you saying women don't want to be badasses, just men?

badp

oh, and most likely Diablo or World of Warcraft too I imagine?

James

20:03

Main Difference @GnomeSlice is men dont have to be naked or mostly naked to be badasses

But women almost always have to be

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice I'm thinking the massive amount of testosterone we have running through our systems tends to skew our thinking quite a bit.

James

Male Knight? Solid suit of armor maybe you see his eyes

Female Knight? She wears an shiny bikini

FAE

@GnomeSlice Kratos is unrealistic, but power fantasy is very different from sexual fantasy. In power fantasies, strength is shown through the character's will and ambition, domination over enemies through violence/physical prowess, and such, whereas in sexual fantasy, the depth of the character usually doesn't go beyond skin deep.

GnomeSlice

@badp I think the fact that games with female leads don't do well in sales more because a lot of the really good games have male leads, and a lot of the ones females are in are just not very good.

badp

@GnomeSlice again: Borderlands; Mass Effect; Lara Croft; World of Warcaft and clones thereof

GnomeSlice

20:04

@fbueckert That was my original point, everywhere I look the discussion turns into 'boys vs girls', because of... that.

James

@GnomeSlice Well, the main character in Skyrim for me is Female.. I hear that one did pretty well in sales.

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice Guys want to play badasses.

GnomeSlice

@badp Also Mirror's Edge, Bayonetta, Metroid, Heavenly Sword, etc.

badp

@James Skyrim lets you be female too? Well then.

fbueckert

Because that's fun.

badp

20:05

@GnomeSlice Except for Metroid (and I'd say that one doesn't count) those aren't AAA++ games

GnomeSlice

There are tons of good games with female leads. But when someone looks at numbers of all games, it doesn't add up because most of those titles are shitty/boring games from a company nobody cares about.

Most of the really popular titles get male leads.

Which is why those stats are meaningless.

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice Because that's what guys want.

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert Probably, yes.

fbueckert

They want badasses who kick ass and take names.

user15026

@fredley youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=bIy6w_iubSs

badp

20:06

and honestly, Bayonetta, the game where your most powerful move is called Climax and involves the entirety of your clothing unraveling into ginormous beasts... that's not an example I'd make

user15026

@badp Wait...what? Seriously?

fredley

@AshleyNunn Awesome

badp

that said, Mass Effect 1's armor is also very much skin tight on women too <_<

GnomeSlice

@AshleyNunn Bayonetta is over-the-top ridiculous.

But it's supposedly an extremely fun game.

James

@AshleyNunn Yeah Bayonetta is not a female empowering game. I have no idea Why @GnomeSlice keeps saying it is.

GnomeSlice

20:07

@James I didn't say it was.

I'm asking questions.

badp

@AshleyNunn She's still pretty much a badass... but in a slutty way.

James

Mirror's Edge? Pretty damn good I would have to say

badp

A very slutty way.

GnomeSlice

What do women fantasize about? I don't even know, to be honest.

Guys want to be a badass.

FAE

@AshleyNunn It's a pretty ridonkulous game. I did play it, that said, but mostly because the actual gameplay was something I liked. The character was deliberately created to be over the top weird.

James

20:08

@badp That was the point I made earlier that @GnomeSlice did not understand or gain any sort of comprehension from as to answer his question then.

FAE

@GnomeSlice Depends on who you ask.

GnomeSlice

@James I did not.

James

@GnomeSlice :)

GnomeSlice

Also, how is Lara Croft the worst example ever?

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice Even this is a sweeping generalization.

GnomeSlice

20:09

Sure she has huge boobs, but she's a rich, smart, badass.

fredley

@AshleyNunn These Metro people really get the internet

They made gifs!

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot Yes, it is, but it was based on current games.

fredley

dumbwaystodie.tumblr.com

fbueckert

@FAE She was too freakishly tall.

badp

@AshleyNunn Here, have a boss fight

FAE

20:09

@fbueckert Crazy giraffe legs.

GnomeSlice

@fredley Oh man 25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md39lkmj1l1rk9vano1_r1_500.gif is awesome

James

@GnomeSlice She is actually a good example. Aside from her first renderings she was always based on an actual person's physical appearance. Her clothing was definitely a bit male chosen oriented but she has never really been depicted in a state of sexual excitement.

fbueckert

@FAE Yeah...that weirded me out. Didn't play it because of exactly all that.

fredley

@GnomeSlice It's excellently rendered in the song. Piano tinkle and all.

fbueckert

@James She's the worst example because she was like the first objectified female hero ever.

GnomeSlice

20:10

19 mins ago, by OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice That was the worst example you could've chosen

James

@GnomeSlice Which is actually why so many people, men and women alike, are so pissed off at the new tomb raider story line

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice I don't think current games define what is a fantasy. They only reflect what is perceived to be fantasy.

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert She was objectified because she had large breasts?

James

@fbueckert Not really man

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice And was entirely two dimensional.

James

20:11

@fbueckert To quote FAE, Source? :)

GnomeSlice

@James No, that's entirely different. They're enraged because of the rape scene, which I don't want to discuss.

fbueckert

Big breasts, short pants.

Which, when you think about it, isn't the most practical stuff to wear when running around in overgrown ruins.

James

@GnomeSlice Exactly, she is no longer a brilliant active archologist.. a male version of Indiana Jones

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert So? She's running around the jungle man. It's hot, and lots of movement, so the clothes, while revealing, are entirely apt...

user15026

@GnomeSlice This, this, this. Can we please not do that disucssion?

James

20:12

@GnomeSlice She is now a victim of a traumatic event pushed to be something she did not choose to be.. It removed all of her self-motivation and decision to be the kick ass person she was.

GnomeSlice

@James Why is that a problem? They're trying to develop her character from before she was a badass.

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice And jungles have thorns. And branches and bushes.

GnomeSlice

@James Dude, the new one comes BEFORE the other games...

James

@GnomeSlice Just answered that man :)

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert vkuvybejvkuhejkfliowc this argument isn't going anywhere lol

fbueckert

20:13

Which would turn those legs into giant masses of blood and scratches.

James

@GnomeSlice ... When was the last time a guy needed to be raped to become a Black Ops guy?

Or Master Chief.. Or any other male hero in a game.

fbueckert

@James Can we leave off of this discussion, please?

OrigamiRobot

@James I thought we weren't going down this road.

GnomeSlice

My point was that just because she was the first real 3D game heroin (and was subsequently subjected to rule 34) doesn't make her a bad example of a role model players can look up to beyond having tits as big as hers.

@badp Man, I should really try this out, this looks awesome.

user15026

@James Please, please, please, can we not do this discussion?

James

20:14

ANyone else want to ask me?

Maybe 3 isnt enough...

Go ahead, now is the time to prove more of you can disappoint me.

GnomeSlice

@James There are people in this room who can't handle this area of discussion.

user15026

Sorry, this is just a giant as fuck trigger for me.

fbueckert

@James We've HAD this discussion already.

And it didn't turn out well.

So, yeah. Let's leave it alone.

badp

I still appreciate the idea of at least trying to have her be more than a walking pair of boobs

that's all

FAE

@James We've had this discussion before, it did not turn out well, and frankly, if it's going to happen again, I'd rather have a heads up so I can leave chat.

user15026

20:16

@FAE Same here.

James

And people wonder why the world is the way it is.

GnomeSlice

@James Whatever point you're trying to make, it's not getting across, so just fucking stop rubbing rape in our faces.

Fuck

badp

@AshleyNunn personally I wish you were rather watching the video I linked you to :P

although it might've annoyed you or something, in which case apologies

user15026

@badp I am! And...wow, this girl's legs...and the weird tentacle-stone-arms?hands? fingers? of that thing

GnomeSlice

@FAE Any examples, then?

user15026

20:18

@badp I am mostly in awe of the sheer weirdness

GnomeSlice

@AshleyNunn Bayonetta is insane. But awesome.

badp

@AshleyNunn From what I've seen the game bosses are all kinds of over the top big deal

FAE

@GnomeSlice If you're asking about mine, that's not a safe-for-Bridge area of discussion. :P

badp

although what I've seen is this one boss fight and the final

FAE

@badp Yeah, they're crazy weird wtf.

GnomeSlice

20:19

@FAE In general then. Based on the current games, it's safe to say one of the main targets for males is badassery.

badp

at any rate, I'll admit, a surprisingly low amount of butt shots in those ten minutes :P

user15026

@badp Yeah, that's mostly my impression.

user15026

@FAE Right there with you. :P

badp

Does Zer0 ALWAYS have to comment on his action skills?

James

@GnomeSlice That is hilarious coming from you.

OrigamiRobot

20:21

@badp Why are you even using his action skill? Are you doing a melee build?

badp

@OrigamiRobot I'm, like, trying him out

doing the first few levels to see how the character plays or something

tiddy

Zero doesn't really click until you've built his tree up significantly

badp

I don't really have the time for that :P

tiddy

Then he probably isn't the character for you

badp

as in, I'm trying to do more of a taste than a full playthrough with him

I've already done playthrough 1 as Salvador

FAE

20:24

@GnomeSlice For women who game, one "fantasy" that I share with many other women gamers I know is simply to have a strong, admirable, complex character who is well-written and doesn't have to resort to tropes of "sex sells"/"I was abused"/"I need to be saved".

user15026

@FAE This. More of that, please.

GnomeSlice

@FAE A large number of male heroes were subjected to trauma in their pasts, it just usually wasn't sexual.

James

OrigamiRobot

Strong, admirable, complex character. Hey look, this isn't gender specific. Who'd have thought!

James

That is an awesome set of rules for a class :)

user15026

20:26

@James I like the last rule. Mine would likely end up being "Can I go to the bathroom?" or something.

tiddy

Beyond Good and Evil was a fun game with a female lead. Not really complex though

James

@AshleyNunn LOL I wonder if that would work!!

user15026

@James They didnt specify what sort of question!

FAE

@GnomeSlice And that's one of the problems with many attempts at writing female leads and strong female characters, is that often, that particular sort of trauma tends to be written in because it's thought of as something that "happens to women" and that's just not cool.

user15026

@FAE Yeah. I mean it does happen to women, trust me, but at the same time, it isn;'t like "oh you are a woman this is your lot deal with it"

user15026

20:28

Thats the attitude that makes me want to throw rocks

James

@AshleyNunn I feel the need to track down that teacher and propose that situation to him/her :)

user15026

@James Don't ruin my plans for an easy A!

badp

FAE

@AshleyNunn Ah, missed that with the spotty connection.

badp

@James Actually the contrary. Having to commute means being 1 minute late for the bus is being 60 minutes late for the lesson

user15026

Augh, the Kairo question is getting upvotes, and I am pretty sure it is a Dragonvale question, because, well, there is a Kairos dragon, and I can't see there being anything in Kairobotica that relates

user15026

@Sterno He also says you can download a demo here: minerwars.com/Downloads.aspx

Sterno

Usually I ask about a game not because I'm afraid of wasting money on it (otherwise, I wouldn't have the ridiculous unplayed Steam catalog I do), but because I don't want to waste time on it unless it's good. So a demo doesn't help in that respect.
