| yversen said: "Fat Guys" are okay. Read: ANY SITCOM EVER where it's a fat dude and a skinny, pretty woman. How many fat women are treated as such in pop culture? Seriously? Rosanne? Is derided. People who say it's ridiculous for a woman to be upset by this game need to look into the issue. YOU may not see it as a problem. YOU may be enlightened. But guess what... TONNES and TONNES of people out there are NOT enlightened. It's funny to them, in the very wrong way. And young girls... just one more thing to say to them "Hey, fat chicks aren't good. Better be thin to be pretty". Do any of you have kids yet? Sitsters? Moms? Is this the kind of message you want to give them? If all things were equal... then no. This wouldn't be a deal at all. But... things haven't been equal for... you know... A LONG TIME. Seriously. Feminism is not a bad thing, when it's proper. Pretending like sexism doesn't exist is pretty lame. |
You are only responding to the trolls in this thread. Did you read any of my posts or my OP?
The issue is that she is distracting from the issue of discrimination and mistreatment of women by hating men in her later comments.
Yes, any sane person knows that there are a bunch of ways society has a leaning to favor men in many cases. This thread isn't about that.
Last time I checked, TV sitcoms portray men as bumbling idiots who need there wives (who are only there as a supporting character) to do everything for them... pretty sexist towards men and women.
But it doesn't matter it is a tv show and a video game. My mother is able to decide what she wants to watch and play. You're daughter probably has real women in her life to be role models.
However, real feminism and real movements for equality (whether religious or racial) don't waste their time on these little issues. They spend time in communities teaching and helping. Not bitching and moaning like the lady who wrote this or the idiots here making jokes about it.
Edit: Just the jokes against feminism in general, some of the other the jokes were pretty funny. Like the next post.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
