Can someone explain why sexualizing fictional characters make feminists so mad?
>>809654Because they don't want the competition, feminists think that you should have to buy them a Louis Vuitton purse to be able to see a pussy
Because they’re mad about men drooling over youthful beauty.
Feminists want men to pay attention only to meatspace females
>>809665by that logic every single damn female oriented media is cooked, men with large heights and ethereal androgyn looks, hair to the shoulders
oh but the defense to that is always because real life men are hairy bald chimps lol
>>809657So these so-called "Feminists" want to perpetuate the "alpha fux beta bux" doctrine? I support women's rights but I don't have a problem with sexy anime girls even though I'm a lesbo gaycel
uygha it can get annoying and jarring when your narrative features the opposite gender very diversely but all characters of your gender look like barbie dolls. Even more so when thats most shit in nerd spaces.
I like women a lot and I dont mind goonbait from time to time but I cant take your story seriously if all women are eye candy with huge breasts and thighs and skimpy outfits and uguu asian idol faces.
It doesn't, you're just on twitter.
A lot of feminists are just proto-incels. Women on the wrong side of lookism REEEEEEing at pretty girls.
It's what happens when feminists dont actually read their own theory and instead just surf vibes and feelings, which is extremely common.
>>809654how'd you get that picture of my wife's mistress (who occasionally cums to me when she needs a shoulder to cry on)?
>why do feminists get big mad when dudes droll over bagina?because something something objectification. only, bitches do that shit too, and no one really cares, or even agrees whether or not it's objectification. riddle me this, sharty-chan: if a bitch uses a dude as a free-access ATM she gets to enjoy as long as she's rubbing her body all over him, is that not objectification of the man in question? a certain exploitation, if you will? I'd wager that it is, but most people would see it as a cynical transaction that benefits both parties at best. "it's not objectification if the man enjoys it" makes about as much sense as "it's okay for teenage boys to be molested by their adult female teachers as long as she's hot" or "it's only gay if the balls touch". in other words, it makes no sense at all desu ne.
anyway, this is all just some idpol shit if you ask me, because bitches be big mad bout how figures in media can negatively influence the expectations of young women who then go on to starve themselves, or take drugs, or invest in a litany of beauty products, or even get plastic surgery in order to look like a real life anime girl. that shit is gay though, because the real solution is to help young girls reassess their expectations by helping them examine the absurdity of these characters, not by limiting their creation in the first place.
course, they'll never admit to this, because they think the idea that because 'media influences people' that any media of any kind is a hugely dangerous thing that poses grave threat to humanity and must be carefully controlled (by feminists) to ensure, well, quality control and curation, so that no scary nasty sentiments manage to fall through the cracks as it were.
>>809668All media is cooked to the sore losers.
As a man, I like yaoi for the pretty hunks
I also enjoy bimbos.
I hate the people who complain about both gender oriented media and the people who use fiction as a moral indicator for real life.
>>809690>that shit is gay though, because the real solution is to help young girls reassess their expectations by helping them examine the absurdity of these characters, not by limiting their creation in the first place.

Children are more influenced by real world factors relative to media genres than media genres themselves
People assume video games turns teenagers into school shooters or that rap music makes them into hooligans
It doesn’t
Any teen that’s a hooligan was raised in a rough and tumble environment
Any teens that’s a school shooter was probably socially neglected
Socialization influences childrens behavior more than lines on a screen
>>809690>anyway, this is all just some idpol shit if you ask me, because bitches be big mad bout how figures in media can negatively influence the expectations of young women who then go on to starve themselves, or take drugs, or invest in a litany of beauty products, or even get plastic surgery in order to look like a real life anime girlMeanwhile they laugh at male youths bodily insecurities and even exploit it against them

Not exactly true for the first two.
Society looks down on men for financing women for livelihood although they will condemn them for not so.
Also, teen males getting sex from adult females is looked down upon nowadays.
Even if the adult female is early twenties at the most.
People are even freaking out over fictional characters with a small age gap.
Fictional teen characters from worlds where kids are trained as soldiers are seen as being groomed for dating another fictional character that’s only five years their senior
>>809692>People assume video games turns teenagers into school shooters or that rap music makes them into hooligans
>It doesn’t>Any teen that’s a hooligan was raised in a rough and tumble environment>Any teens that’s a school shooter was probably socially neglectedI wouldn't say they cause both of these things but they can and do amplify existing conditions.
Media does affect the way people think.
People just tend to arbitrarily like feminists pick and choose based on their biases what parts of media they believe are actual spreading what they consider harmful attituteds. Like opposing portrayals of sexy women but being perfectly fine with violence and murder
>>809698
Fair point. That’s why I say media influences people relative to meatspace.
>Media does affect the way people think.

>>809692I largely agree with you, but also the media you consume does have some degree of impact on your system of beliefs, no matter how large or small. for instance, and I know this is dumb, but it proves the point – there's this one scene in the film bloodsport where jean claude van damme is preparing for his bout, right? he's like stretching and whatever, to the point where he's doing the splits, and one of the primary characters remarks something like
>you better go easy on the stretching, you might want to have kids somedaythe implication being that if a man does the splits it can make him impotent. it was a cheeky joke, but I always thought there might be something to it, because I watched that movie when I was a kid. of course it's horse shit, but I didn't know that when I heard it, and the point is that maybe the appearance of some characters impresses upon children some perception of how they ought to appear, which they subconsciously internalize.
it's just, I don't agree with the libs when it comes to the extent to which media can influence a person.
>>809695I would say that a lot of the bullshit you see on social media is just ragebait/engagement farming, and they do that a lot of the time by straight up making shit up to be angry about, cause none of that shit makes any sense to me at all.
>>809706>I would say that a lot of the bullshit you see on social media is just ragebait/engagement farming, and they do that a lot of the time by straight up making shit up to be angry about, cause none of that shit makes any sense to me at all.This predates social media. Not that you’re wrong, though.

That’s what I mean. Media influences people relative to their sociophysical environment.
In fact, media works on pre-existent bias.
Media cannot influence you on things you don’t have biases for.
>>809709Now you’re making up strawmen.
There’s plenty of female characters that aren’t drawn sexily that men appreciate
And irony is, gooner-brained men are far more diverse in their sexual preferences than you think.
>>809709>Literally no one cares about characters being sexualized in media.That is just a blatant lie
And your entire post again is just deflection to chuds.
>>809712This.
Everyone likes to blame chuds for all media biases.
Irony is, chuds/incels/gooners are media genres to begin with
>>809709ok but to that I say 1) "fuck realism" and 2) I don't care if a female character is a hyper-sexualized barbie doll, as long as she's a good character.
>the reason for this is because men are gooner-brained retards that will throw a fit if they see a female protagonist in media that they can't jack off toI blame lazy writing more than anything else, and the only people you see these days complaining about that shit are muh gaymurgait culturewar grifter types like asmongold, the critical drinker, and the like. who gives a fuck about what they think?
>Whenever a realistic depiction of a woman appears in a videogame – not even ugly women, but good looking women without makeup – menchildren who unironically call themselves gamers will completely lose their minds.disagree, everyone sexualizes ellie and abby, the characters from the last of us, and they're pretty "realistic" looking without being hyper-sexualized.
>>809709>>809654Controversial opinion but I find modest clothing more attractive a lot of the time. I think I'm oversaturated on half naked women.
>>809654Yeah that's weird as a swimsuit because of the loose fabric but it made me laugh that it says "conceal her feminine curves," like what?
>>809716Actually Aerith's main outfit is a good example of how you don't have do over the top skin showing outfits to make an attractive design. Long dresses are attractive.
I don't mean just in the video games too, I'm disappointed by how few women wear dresses IRL now too. Everyone's in fucking wedgied yoga pants all the time.
>>809711>Now you’re making up strawmen.>There’s plenty of female characters that aren’t drawn sexily that men appreciateIronic for you to accuse me of strawmanning you and then imediately following up with a strawman. I never said that there aren't lots of female characters that aren't sexualized. What I said, and I will copy what I said word for word here since you didn't read it the first time, is: '"What is annoying is how often women in media (especially videogames) are all interchangeable onlyfans models."'.
>>809712It's hiperbolic, but it's not a lie. You'll find very, very few people who dislike the sexualization of fictional characters just by virtue of them being sexualized – what is overwhelmingly seen are people who dislike the fact that exclusively one gender is sexualized while the other isn't.
>>809714>the only people you see these days complaining about that shit are muh gaymurgait culturewar grifter types like asmongold, the critical drinker, and the like. who gives a fuck about what they think?They have huge audiences, so a lot of people care about what they think. A lot more people than the 3 feminists somewhere who dislike all forms of sexualization in media.
>>809654>conceal her curves as much as possibleThey literally didn't?!?!?!!!?
>>809654>can someone explain to me why feeding people makes commies so mad?>>809657>because they don't want free markets, communists think you should have to share your wife with the party this is how you two sound
>>809727>they have huge audiencesyeah but they're all bots and chuds, right?
>>809728>preserve a PG rating in order to maximize the potential revenueso then that begets the question: why should it be "PG" rated in the first place? in America this game is rated T for Teen, that's ages 13+ so they can be a bit risque with the designs, if they're also going to deal with heavy topics like death (aeris gets straight up executed), muh 'adventureism' (because the freedom figh– ahem sorry, terrorist organization AVALANCHE is blowing tankers and being a real thorn in the side of big mako by putting elon musk and his mind-raped alien edgelord yaoibait on the ropes) and borderline philosophical concepts like pondering the meaning of life and whatnot.
>>809714>disagree, everyone sexualizes ellie and abby, the characters from the last of us, and they're pretty "realistic" looking without being hyper-sexualized.This. In fact, most peoples sexual crushes are often fictional characters with modest designs
>>809727

>They have huge audiences, so a lot of people care about what they think. A lot more people than the 3 feminists somewhere who dislike all forms of sexualization in media.The people who complain about fanservice are the same people who whine about “Mary Sues”
It’s just a result of the “awkwardness is adorable” trope that’s been promoted in media since the 1990s and 2000s.
In the 2010s it got even worse with journalists and fans complaining about characters who are naturally talented, stoic, and never had to struggle unnecessarily with attaining basic powers.
I have noticed that most of the characters that appeal to “relatability” are often the characters that are awkward, unworldly, excessively positive, pathetic, etc
Protagonists that are cynical and aren’t easily forgiving of villains are branded as “angsty asshole teens” who need to get over themselves
Villainy is no longer warranted of immediate punishment. People literally root for the villain to destroy everything a thousand times over and be forgiven. Villains are made to be perfectionists, dripping with wit, and exceptionally handsome
Have you ever noticed especially in anime, that villians tend to be sexier than the heroes?
Look at the Akatsuki in Naruto
Muzan from Demon Slayer
Any sexy-looking heroes are often given tragic backstories or are killed off.
>>809717>I don't mean just in the video games too, I'm disappointed by how few women wear dresses IRL now too. Everyone's in fucking wedgied yoga pants all the time.Bruh that’s mainly a ghettofab meme
Most women wear jeans and skirts unless you live in the ghetto.
>>809732People complain about sexualisation in teen media but they’re okay with violence, death, gore, and racism.
You have people going apeshit over some risqué fashion designs for young kunoichi in Boruto while excusing the fact that said kunoichi are going up against cosmic villians with the ability to rewrite internal memories.
>>809728>literal child mind.Children are more capable of accepting greyness and complexity than you think.
It’s often adults and teens who obsess the most about “consistency”
>>809749>brain dead manchildren And brain dead woman children as well
See superhero movies and shonen anime for example.
They’re the most prone to this

>>809815memesloppa npc reply
>>809749that pic is hilarious, where is it from
>>809654Pretty much because they; just like christian conservatives and evangelicals are spooked by the notion that fictional characters are just like real people. They literally can't separate fantasy from reality.
Feminists and incel red-pillers are two sides of the same puritanical psuedo-protestant American coin. Seriously, they are so much alike the religious crazies back in the 1980's calling Dungeons and Dragons Satanic and being afraid that playing DnD would somehow make people join satanic cults.
>>809856god, oblivion was so bad
>>809862You’re also forgetting the no-shippers
The people who treat fictional teen characters as the same as their real life counterparts
>>809732> that begets the question: why should it be "PG" rated in the first place? in America this game is rated T for Teenyou imbecile, if they show a single mm3 of more titty the game would be rated M, you stupid FUCKING moron. and you know why? Because you are ruled by insane evangelists.
>>810398yes, I understand, but firstly, chill the fuck out faggot, and secondly, that's not a good enough reason. the characters don't have to be nude to be racy. plenty of games these days get away with a T rating and feature racy characters. all the designs in zenless zone zero and genshin impact were appropriate enough to garner a T rating, and a lot of them are pretty suggestive, much more than anything in final fantasy anyway.
>>810418>>810398I find it funny that there’s more PG-13 movies with violence than R movies
Any showing of boobs or ass is considered rated R, yet there’s more bloodshed and death shown in PG-13
>>810423Saying the F-word too many times makes you R-rated(I think there is an acceptable number of times to maintain PG-13, it's weird like that.)
>>810429Sorry I meant more than once. It's like Beetlejuice but you say it even twice the MPAA spawns out of the mirror and gives you an R-rating.
>>810426I’ve watched a few a British films and they use the F bomb even more than Americans
Like every fourth word out of their mouth is “fuck”
>>810429Violence is permitted if not demanded for PG-13. Rated R usually does excess sex jokes and sexual gestures
>>810426Maybe because the F bomb is usually a copulation term.
They have no problem with “piss” and “shit”
>>810436>>810436Well like the image explains, you are allowed one F-word per movie, but not as a reference to actually fucking, to maintain a PG-13 rating. If your character says "fuck, fuck, fuck" in a dangerous situation, that's an R rating. Only one character per movie is allowed to say the F-word in a situation of duress or etc. Maybe as an exclamation, but only once.
>>810439I think there are also limits on shits, bitches, even craps. A cunt is probably an automatic R.
>>810440You know I heard that British media is permitting of all curse words but draw the line at “bloody”?
>>810449Bloody 'ell 'arry
>>810439Liberals think that age limits would """save the children""'. Didn't work, in fact, my first energy drink was when i was 13. It was a White Monster
>>810475Why are sports drinks put in the same category as alcohol?
But otherwise, yea age limits don’t save children at all with exception for alcohol
>>809654I remember a study from many years ago that beautiful women make everyone feel bad. Therefore, they should be exiled from uggo society to live among their own kind, or turned into pig people like that Twilight Zone Episode.
>>810506That sounds like the stereotype about beautiful men being narcissists
Or that talented precocious kids turn out socially stunted
Regardless, the biggest perpetrators of lookism are often the average looking people.
They’re the ones who look down on the ugly while demonizing the pretty
>>810514im not sure they'd always demonize the pretty anon otherwise everyone would hate beauty in individuals and modeling won't exist
i think its both praise and demonizing. former more than the latter
>>810418> the characters don't have to be nude to be racy.if they were nude it wouldn't even be rated M, it would be flat out the dreaded and impossible to sell Ao
you people have no clue about how puritan the ESRB is, it was literally cobbled in the middle of the satanic panic, at the tail of macartynism, literally four years after the USSR fell. probably one of the most insane expressions of pure unadulterated american reaction
>>810590yeah, fine, the esrb are a bunch of puritanical fucks, that much is true. all I'm saying is that the esrb can go fuck itself and we should be able to have racy designs without it being a big deal. lisa from genshin impact has a pretty racy design and it's fine. most of those characters wear "elegant" clothing with frills and collars and buttons and such, like they're some french/victorian era cosplayers, but that also happen to be form-fitting and skin-tight in places, and that also feature a certain amount of exposed skin, that may or may not emphasize "sexually explicit" areas like the cleavage, legs, hips and buttocks.
this is one example of a design that is way more racy than anything in any final fantasy. rikku and lulu from FFX come to mind as comparable counter-examples, but even that game has a T rating so I don't get the big deal. yuffie's exposed midriff and legs are a prominent example of "fanservice" that the faggots at the esrb wouldn't even consider sexual, but that are probably the most salivated over aspects of the character in question.
you could dress these characters up in hijabs and they'd still be sexualized.
>>810662I have. Especially in fast food jobs during morning shifts.
Too many anons on here glaze women as these automatic empaths. And even then, they only focus on the young slim pretty ones.
>>810691Honestly I'm not at all convinced that women are less sexually aggressive or voracious than men. Its just that female sexuality more intensely policed by traditional gender norms. If women were as physically strong as men we'd probably see an equal number of sexual assaults perpetrated by them.
>>810638The thing is that the FF7 remake is that it features extremely detailed models and skin, the ESRB cares a bit less if it's cartoony designs and/or if the camera is relatively far away or fixed. Read between the lines on Tifa's design notes, they were afraid that the ESRB would jam the camera and get the game rendering beautifully detailed pieces of no-no body parts
>>810816This. And leftists wanna promote biological essentialism to rationalize this while also saying “gender is a spook lol” and “patriarchy is holding women back”
Leftists are just peculiar paternalists.
Look up Stephanie Lazarus. A female cop in LA that was arrested for a 1987 murder in 2009.
>>810540They do demonize the pretty.
Accusing them of getting away with murder and flunking their academic studies
Pretty people are always portrayed as dunces for morality lessons.
>>810638I find it funny how people complain about fanservice while seeing nothing wrong with having fictional teens fight supernatural monsters
Fat bitches gonna fat bitch
>>810068>You’re also forgetting the no-shippersThe people who treat fictional teen characters as the same as their real life counterparts.
Yeah that I just don't understand. If someone was abusing a real life child or teen, that would be one thing to be rightfully outraged about. But a fictional character is just that, a fictional character. It can't really feel or have any actual thought. They are just images and drawings and stories.
>>809654It’s commodity fetishism. Feminists think that how women are portrayed in commodified art like video games and movies, often targeted to young men, is reflective of how women are actually valued—or in this case, devalued—in society. It’s the same idea with how conservatives cry about "woke."
>>811016Woke and redpill are two sides of the same coin
