10 lies games tell us about women

[generic-user-1]

lets do this point for point...

"The average bust size is EE

The problem hardly stops at Lara Croft though. On this issue, the prime-evil is no doubt Team Ninja. Their Dead or Alive series was once known for its "jiggle physics," a physics engine that was about as true-to-life as Mario Galaxy. And who could forget Rachel from Ninja Gaiden, (read: everyone) who embodies just about every problem on this list."

the average bust sice in germany, the uk and the us is D, and so E isnt so uncommon, and who can say if its E or D in a game? alot of women have big boobs, dont hate on em just because you are flat like a little skiny boy.

"Women account for 1/5 of the population
This problem exists across all media, but it's just as prominent in video games: the token woman. It is exceedingly rare to find a video game in which 50% of the characters are of the female gender."

i think this is the stupidest point, they dont mean gameworld population, they mean (main)characters.
game world are full of females. and female meaningfull npc and playable characters arent that rare in alot of games. other games have close to 0 females, but what do you expect from a war game? alot of women just have not the constitution to serve in an army and they normaly dont get drafted.

"They're completely and utterly helpless
Some appearances of this trope are mostly accidental. Sometimes the game's AI is just terrible, causing the escort mission to be a frustrating mess as the lady you're escorting stands around getting shot. Other times the entire game is purposefully built around the idea of the woman being helpless"

yeah fuck escort missions.
and women are helpless most of the time because they are normal humans and you are a hero, nobody askes the shopkeeper to slay a dragon, so why should a princess fight soldiers, skeletons or something like that`?

"...or they're world-weary and sarcastic

Not every female character is inept, but if they're not incapable of walking down the street without a brave man helping them they're a world-weary soldier who has nothing left to believe in or a sarcastic jerk who has seen it all. Optional additions include: dark secrets, or a nurturing heart deep beneath the gruff exterior that only needs to be reawakened by the warm manly embrace of compassion."

welcome to the world of bad writting. yeah most female characters are as flat as pancakes, but well thats true for male characters too.


"Common female occupations include Attractive Scientist and Daughter of Important Man
Women living in video games have a relatively small pool of jobs to pick from. Maybe they'll find themselves a clipboard and a pair of cute glasses to become Attractive Female Scientist, earning their keep by knowing passwords to doors you need to open."

what? since when? how? i never encountert this, has anybody? most females in games are shopkeepers or just walk along the sidewalk the whole day.
and whats wrong with beeing a scientist? they are atleast usefull to the world, unlike genderstudies majors....


"
Approximately 75% of women are blonde Caucasians
Male video game characters have enough problems with getting equal representation of all races and body types, but women have got it even worse. We’ve already established that in the world of video games women represent just 20% of the population."

this is just true in western games, and i dont see the problems, the majority of people that worked on those games ARE caucasians. and the other point is, women from the north are bigger, and well blonder and have blue eyes, women are to small and weak to carry heavy weapons or armor, bigger women can.
an average grown up german women is higher in size than a fully grown average male egyptian.
there are REASONS why most female warriors have light skin and blond, light brown or read hair.

"Ladies lack strength, but make up for it with gymnastics training

This might be the most prevalent lie on this list. We've all seen it. The female RPG character whose strength stat is at 3, but her agility is 14. Or the action game character who can't wield the bazooka, but has a special move where she cartwheels onto the enemy's head and breaks his neck with her mighty, dangerous crotch.
"

and from the article:
"The real-world differences between man-strength and woman-strength is pretty slim. Yes, sometimes men can open jars that women have trouble with. But there are also women who have ripped biceps. So yes, on average you might find a small bump in strength among average, but if you think you're going to beat Michelle Obama in an arm wrestling match then you're sorely mistaken. "

bring it on idiot... wiki says this:

Gross measures of body strength suggest a 40-50% difference in upper body strength between the sexes, and a 20-30% difference in lower body strength.[32] One study of muscle strength in the elbows and knees—in 45 and older males and females—found the strength of females to range from 42 to 63% of male strength.[33] Another study found men to have significantly higher hand-grip strength than women, even when comparing untrained men with female athletes.[34] Differences in width of arm, thighs and calves also increase during puberty.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_differences_in_human_physiology#Muscle_mass_and_strength

so 40-50% in the important areas are pretty slim? women cant operate a battle hammer, longsword,warbow, battle rifle, high cal pistol, etc for long.

"Latex is armor for women

We won't be the first people to comment on the absurd outfits game developers put their women characters into, but it's worth dredging up this sore subject one more time. Video game ladies run off to battle in outfits that look more like they're headed to a Zumba class than a war."

i dont know what they are talking about- if anything, female armor looks like the sexy dress of princess leia.
yes its useless, but knights armor would be useless too because most female are way to small and weak for knights armor, that shit is heavy.

"Women battle demons while nude

Latex may not be the optimal battle raiment, but at least it might protect you from a few scuffs, bruises, and scrapes. Some game developers don't even have the courtesy to give their characters a t-shirt before sending them off to fight the prime evils."

but male monks with bare chest are fine battling demons`? just knights and mages wear alot of clothes, all other warriors wear very little... like the classical barbarian or eastern monks.

"Their gender defines their entire existence

Take a look at some average video game ladies, and a striking pattern begins to emerge: They're almost universally driven by the fact that they're women. The following is a collection of the usual character motivations of the average video game woman, usually said through fountains of tears: "Because I'm his mother!" "Because I love him!" "Because he's my husband!" "Because I can't have babies so I have no reason to liiiiiiive!"

Being a wife/mother/daughter/niece/love interest are generally the only traits average video game women have, and it's what drives them. While men get to be war criminals, duty-driven soldiers, pioneers, engineers, secret agents, Kings, princes, chosen ones, etc. Oh, and if she's a villain, watch out because we guarantee she has an alternate form where she turns into a monster that looks like a vagina."

what games are they talking about? and how is beeing a soldier not gender based? all those poor guys you shoot in Cod and BF are sodleirs because they are male, they would have never been drafted without a penis.

to end this... FUCK THOSE STUPID ASS CLOWNS IM TIRED OFF ALL THIS BULLSHIT.
