What, really? I will gladly donate some of my plucked eyebrow hair. I have pasty white skin and dark brown hair, and srsly, I need to pluck at least every other day. Back when I was in my early 20s (I suspect I had un-diagnosed PCOS back then, so yay excessive hair growth) they were like a pair of big brown…
No, no. You have it all wrong. There's INTEGRITY in this. Don't you see it? The integrity? Making a game where you have to rub a woman's crotch and tits constantly to advance is HIGH ART, and everyone who doubts that is just an idiot and a puritan and just doesn't get it.
I never played the original back on the N64, but I heard people saying that they added line markers on the walls to show where the water level could be raised.
I don't think it takes an assault to make someone feel that way. I had a guy pull this shit with me, and even though I've never been sexually assaulted, I felt angry and betrayed and guilty. It felt like having a rug pulled out from under me, to suddenly realize that a guy I'd been confiding in as a friend for months…
Honestly, it's not mine!
I remember that. You could behead those big troll guys, and then chop off their noses.
Never before have I been so simultaneously turned off and grossed out by a photo. I mean...I really don't know how to react here. :'D
I've had similar reactions to harassment. I'm not great at standing up for myself at the best of times, and I don't know how to react because the harassment often happens so suddenly. The urge to diffuse and get away from that situation ASAP seems reasonable to me. So instead of screaming at these assholes like they…
Wow, that's awful. It must have been incredibly frustrating. D: It's kind of like being told that harassment is really a compliment because you're attractive or something, so you have to shut up and be grateful for any attention you get. 'Scuze me while I go retch in the corner...
Plus there's the threat of "the gay panic" when you suggest they imagine a much bigger guy coming onto them.
Ugh. I have no idea what the guy was thinking. He certainly wasn't thinking with the right head... :P
Yeah. None of my guy friends understood why I found it so creepy or was mad. They just don't understand that most men are bigger and stronger than most women, so there's a suggestion of a threat when a guy you don't know comes on too strong or gets creepy. Guys just take it for granted that they won't ever have to…
Um, it's more or less like I told it. I was standing in my retail department (the video game area), being very bored because it was a slow day. I was wearing my work uniform, a men's size polo shirt and khaki pants—not at all sexy or alluring. A man ambled by, stopped and leered at me, and suggestively told me it…
Ugh. I once had a male customer approach me while I was at work (at a retail store) and proposition me like I was a prostitute on a street corner. (He even said, "You look like you're selling something," and he wasn't referring to electronics.) I tried to tell this story to a few of my male friends and coworkers, and…
I'm still making my way through the 4th case in the latest Ace Attorney game (and I bought the 5th DLC episode). I'm trying to get into Monster Hunter 3U for the 3DS, which I have had for ages but never really gotten into. The control scheme is just so weird. But now my brother and some friends have the game, so maybe…
I've had the Witcher 2 for PC for ages and never got around to playing it (I bought it before Skyrim came out). I tried to install it recently, and my stupid antivirus program kept me from installing the patch for it properly. I really need to get around to installing and playing it soon, especially with Witcher 3…
I figured the blue tank top she started with in TR2013 was a visual callback to Original Lara. But considering how sexualized her original design was...yeah, I can understand if you didn't like it. Personally, I'm actually hopimg they make a sequel to this latest game. It was pretty good...and sniping dudes with that…
Wow, I had no idea Naoko Takeuchi was sick. It must have been serious. :< Thanks for the info.
I have to say I agree with pretty much everything you've said here. I'd suggest that the newest Lara Croft is actually a pretty un-sexualized character, unless you count her being put in a tank top as sexualized. I was actually prepared to dislike the game, given the controversy over the stupid things one of the…
