Ah, right, because video game characters are very often exactly like the people you’d me on the OH WAIT THEY AREN’T.

Jade isn’t stacked. Sorry. She ain’t. And if you say she wears a t shirt to accentuate them, then I say her over shirt hides them. Seriously. It’s the same camisole/overshirt combo that’s like...20 years…

My initial approach was mocking of the pervasive pearl-clutching, fainting couch mentality that seeps into every article like this. It was hardly uncivil, though. I did no more to him than you did to me, that being calling someone out. So, if I’m in the wrong, so are you.

Why would I be upset? See above. And, for the…

Did I at any point say that Gladio wasn’t sexy? And the “rule of cool” does not exclude sexiness, all it means is that is exlcuding practicality for something that is (usually) visually appealing. So, instead of having Cid being an ugly redneck in a beer, oil, and sweat stained overall, they opted her current look.…

Oh, no, not only are you wrong, but you’re not engaging further? How awful. Please, no. The. Humanity. Ah.

Cindy being portrayed as a main female character? Since when? She’s been shown, yes, because she’s been in the demos. Also, I don’t know that four counts a numerous for main characters...because that is one more than FFX-2 (SEXISM). And, I don’t feel that Cindy is objectified...and since objectification is subjective,…

Noted.

The basic level of respect is: congratulations, you’ve made it this far without biting off your own tongue. What you are referring to, I think, is civility. Those who have approached me civilly have gotten it. Mind you, you approached me.

Oh, you are going with the unproven, “Monkey see, monkey do” idea. It’s not been…

Yes, the objectification of men has traditionally been more utilitarian, hasn’t it?

I have two daughters, as well. They like princesses and Monster High and Senran Kagura. What does that tell you?

I never said anything about breasts...you did. We were talking about clothes and functionality. When we get back to that,…

Ah, so she has to be cool, too, because he is? Makes sense?

Gladio is a warrior. Do warriors dress like that?

I dunno...Done plenty of manual labor outside. Digging irrigation, planting, building, a bit of mechanic work...I tend to prefer not having a shirt on, unless I’m going to be laying on asphalt or something. Then again, not lily white, so I don’t burn, so that may be a factor, too.

Also, quick tip: google hot shirtless…

Ah, and the classic, “I’m actually a coward and I don’t want to know the truth, so I’ll hide in my bubble of false superiority.” Wonderful. Thank you. I needed that.

Wow, made some broad assumptions in that statement.

Aww...someone’s a bigot. That’s cute. Tell me more about the scene, which you obviously know little about. What else did the internet feminists tell you?

Ah, so, made an impression, but not that much of an impression. Wish I could say the same.

Regardless...I will extend my most humble apologies. For me to say such a thing, given my history of being sexually assaulted by both genders, would have been beyond the pale. That is why I wished to know what I said, versus what…

I was under the impression respect was earned, not given out like candy at Halloween.

If you are going to use the argument of “she’s not a real person” then I will raise you that “she” cannot be “objectified” because objectification requires a conscious awareness of another’s view of one’s self. Or, if you prefer,…

Funny, objectification is a subjective thing. So, clearly, objectively, you can’t be correct. Weird, huh?

I think this is interesting. You’d think if I’d said something that vile, I’d remember it, but you...don’t ring any bells. No recollection at all. By chance do you have what I actually said to you?

Probably the part where quisling fucks thought their opinions mattered, why?

Jason’s point is weak and uninformed. His rote response about Cidney could have been predicted from the first article about FFXV. Hideous and objectifying is wholly subjective. It, obviously, caters to his audience, since Kotaku is basically an engine fueled by outrage. The interesting thing is that, all thing being…
