I'm not seeing anything anti-male there.

It probably would of been better had it been a chest or something else like a cow or something... but whatever, i'm not going to worry about it much. Of course i'm skinny... and not a women.


Of course it'd also be great if Mario had some motivation other then saving Peach every game.

 

 

I’m too busy to repeatedly wipe your bottoms for you does not mean you’re big boys now. It means you’ll have to shit in your own crib from now on.

 

Refering to the trolls as boys, and talking about how they have to be cleaned up after. It's a common thing for people who make a big fuss about the bigotry of little things to be some of the most bigotted people. Her wording reveals her true feelings towards men, it's not about empowering women but, is instead, about belittling men.

I don't see any bigotry there...

Trolls do act like little kids that need to be cleaned up for... I mean have you seen this site?  The trolls here prove that.

 

It's the irony of her choice of words.  I am not taking sides on the game. Just like with RE4, I see the problem and I don't care.

It's a common over-zealous anti-male (who claims to be a feminist) thing to talk about cleaning up after men and calling them little boys.  She gets all up in arms over "princess" and negative conotations of the male as the protector of the female, but then  uses "boys" and uses an equally contraversial social stigma that men always need to be cleaned up after by women. 

The difference is that the game is meant in good humor, she means it to be hurtful.


Am I offended? No.  I am just pointing out that she is not a feminist, but is a hateful, bigotted, unhappy person.

There is some truth to both constructs of our society.  Men are the ones who get to go check the noise and change the tire next to a dangerous highway and women are unfairly expected to clean up. It isn't a sociological study though, meaning feminism is irrelevant to the argument of whether the game is appropriate or not.  These traits aren't inherent in every male and female.

The game uses common archetypes to make the premise familiar.  She uses these traits to demean.

When I saw this thread I thought it might turn into some feminist bashing fest. But I'm glad to see that some people are smarter than that.
