"dragon's crown" is pretty bad as far as the fantasy title stakes go
― the bitcoin comic (thomp), Wednesday, 24 April 2013 22:42 (eleven years ago) link
i keep trying to think of a similarly useless (fantasy noun + possessive marker + fantasy noun) name but they all end up making more sense. chimeara's sword. orc's ring. goblin's robes. wtf does a dragon even want a crown for. mb he is ruling over other dragons, nm, is there a kingdom of dragons in this game, that could rule

i mean, i imagine an adventurer would get to have some pretty major thighs going on at some point. it's kind of funny kind of sad that the artist decided to exaggerate that to the level of fetish also?

"Let's step back from the social justice aspect of this kind of artwork and deal with the fact that 9 year-old girls find it stupid. I'd love for her to see games and want to be these women, not simply recoil at the fact that they're designed for my eyes more than her power fantasies."
Wtf, this is exactly what the social justice aspect is!

i. i think this is a good case for why 'casual racism and sexism are more accepted in video games than other media' is a bad way of phrasing the argument vs. something like 'more visible in video games than other media'. -- like, having sexed-up fantasy figures turned up to such a ridic degree makes it more obvious and undeniable that something's going on, that there is a problem here that needs addressing.
ii. kind of sad compared to previous form; a couple gay girls i know thought odin sphere was really amazing w/ the fairy princess types just whaling on guys and beating the shit out of them

Sarkeesian is such an easy target for internet trolls. I honestly wish she were a little more challenging and interesting but she's still among the better video game essayists if only due to the low bar.― I offer about as much diversity as a saltine cracker. (forksclovetofu), Monday, April 1, 2013

I've been playing Arkham City and the gameplay is pretty awesome and stunning but my desire to show off to friends my 80-hit combo skillz w Catwoman is often mitigated by the cringe-worthy taunts the bad guys shout at her.

so arkham city is an interesting case because about nine-tenths of what i knew about it before actually playing it was that it hated women
