View Single Post Thread: #1633 jschreier Sorry about your boycott. I haven't read this entire thread, but the accusations I've seen that I'm only doing this for pageviews; that I don't actually care about the things I'm saying; that my criticism is contributing to the mistreatment of women - are inappropriate, out of line, and rather disgusting. I won't address those Today, 02:48 AM) Quote I will, however, elaborate on my points, since it doesn't seem like I've been clear enough For reference, let's look at this picture of thes sorceress Other than her proportions, there are a couple of details worth noting. One is that her shirt is trying to escape from her chest. She also has a very childish face that resembles lolicon imagery. I don't think either of those features is beautiful or worth lauding in any way Now let's look at the gif that was posted earlier in this thread. Maybe you think it's reasonable, or beautiful, or aesthetically pleasing when a female character's breasts move like that during combat. I don't. I think it's demeaning and embarrassing See, I don't think the sorceress's design is problematic because of her large breasts. What's problematic is that the character is explicitly designed to draw our eyes to her large breasts. They're exposed; they're jiggling; they're disproportionate. They're immediately striking. They're part of a lolicon fantasy, drawn to appeal to people who are interested in lolicon fantasies (and people who are interested in large breasts) So yes, maybe her design has something to do with fertility, or necromancy. Maybe she's a strong, multifaceted character with interesting thoughts and ambitions. None of that really matters, because her body is presented as a jiggling sexual object for people to leer at. (To those of you who are ready to argue that the men in Dragon's Crown are sexually objectified as well, please google "adolescent male power fantasy" and read explanations from people more qualified than I.) Go ahead and look at that gif again. I hope you can see how that might make people feel uncomfortable You could say that, examined in a vacuum, this is just a silly cartoon. But viewed as part of the video game industry - and it is, despite its niche, part of the video game industry - this is just another example of an exclusionary chunk of gaming culture. On Twitter yesterday, one person said to me, "I like Are you kading me? 1 sur hp es how you complain about some games being 'made for men and only men' as if that's a bad thing." Are you kidding me? I sure hope I don't need to explain why that's not okay Some have accused me of singling out Dragon's Crown because Japanese niche games are easy targets for a westerner. That's just not true. I write a column every week about JRPGs. I'm criticizing this one because I don't want to see the genre headed in this direction. I want JRPGs with great female characters. Strong, complicated female characters who aren't defined by their sexuality, like Estelle in Trails in the Sky or Nanami in Suikoden II. Female characters who don't come across as aesthetic objects. One more thing: I'm probably the only person here who has actually played Dragon's Crown, and I have no interest in seeing it burn. It's a fun, interesting game that I hope to buy and play and write about. Otherwise I wouldn't care this much IF YOU ARE ATTRACTED TO THIS PICTURE YOU ARE A P--------. JSCHREIER CKOTAKU

AmirOx @AmirOx FORMER NEOGAF MOD AND ANTI-#GAMERGATE CRITIC ARRESTED FOR CHILD P--- Posted on June 28, 2017, 10:55 pm By Billy D @pattonoswalt bunch of weeaboo's who just want the freedom to look up anime loli skirts without being judged for it. #WomensMarch 4:26 AM 22 Jan 17 Ganer Gate (Last Updated On: June 29, 2017) Like Us On Facebook 7 LIKES Christopher John Goldberg, aged 32, was arrested and charged on the morning of June 28th, 2017 for possessing child p----------. This was detailed in an article from a small Pennsylvania media outlet named Pocono Record, which picked up the event after Goldberg was arrested and charged by the local police According to the report, Goldberg had 53 pornographic images of small children between the ages of 4 and 14 years of age on his mobile phone. Additional images and video were also found on his home computer. So what's the relevance of this story to #GamerGate? It turns out that Christopher John Goldberg was a former moderator at NeoGaf, going by the handle of Amir0x. Not only that but he was one of the more vocal and outspoken members from NeoGaf who defamed and mislabeled anyone using the GamerGate hashtag as racist harassers Amir0x @Amirox Follow #StopGamerGate2014 because H-------- read this;
#1700 Yesterday..at5:37 AM User Banned (1 Week) : Inflammatory Derailment The Bioware guy should be massively ashamed of what he just wrote. l've never seen such an insensitive, utterly amoral hot take on someones death, especially so soon after. Why didn't he say this to him when he was alive? What an absolute coward, hiding behind someones death to rant about them and be happy they're dead. Jesus christ. Banned Member Here's what he said by the way. He's made his tweets private now, but someone archived it. If EA/Bioware genuinely thinks this is acceptable public behavior, then I'm done with their games.
