I've been on this board pretty much as long as he has, and yet he's one of the few users I've almost never interacted with. Sometimes I would like to at least talk to him about his point of view out of interest, because I don't think he's really wishing harm on anyone but it'd be nice to know.

Before the reveal, I saw tons of people talking about the next character being a Xenoblade character. I thought, I've never played any of them, but if that's the case I hope it's Pyra.

So for this topic my first thought was basically

I know nothing about Xenoblade, but if it had to be a character from that I'm glad it was Pyra.

those are examples of things being successful leading to more of that thing done

the presence or absent of these butt shots is such a minor component of this game that you cant draw the same sort of conclusion. Developers arent going to look to this collections sales to help them decide how many butt-focused camera angles to include in their game.

Its not a slope toward more censorship, and frankly its not censorship at all. Its a developer deciding to adjust their cinematography completely of their own volition, which no one would have any kind of problem with if it wasnt specifically related to a butt.

The same butt is still present in the game. You can still look at the butt. If they actually wanted to censor the butt they could have adjusted her character model, but they didnt do that. They just changed some specific camera angles because they realized focusing on the butt in those specifics moments didnt serve the scene well.

this is the fucking dumbest gamer outrage

Yea I just realized I badly worded what I said there. I should have added "If this is indeed censorship" to the starting sentence. I added it to the second thing I said but didn't think about going back and adding it to the first.

To me it seems like a case where you have to pick your battles. You can go and gaze at women's butts online for free, so why should a game be obligated to provide butt shots?

The game isn't obligated to do so at all. This is really just a question of do you view this as actual censorship or not, and if it's enough to affect your purchase of it.

Personally, I have on idea if I'd consider this censorship as I haven't particularly looked into it, and honestly I wasn't going to buy it anyway as I've never played any of these games. I understand the arguments for and against it though.

People are saying this is going to lead to more censorship. Like, talk about a slippery slope fallacy.

Regardless of whether the changes bother you or not, that most likely is going to be the case. I mean, unless we think some people buying DLC didn't lead to more DLC. Some people paying for microtransactions hasn't lead to more microtransactions. More digital game sales haven't lead to more games going digital. Etc etc.

If, and I do stress IF, the gaming industry as a whole wants to push towards more censorship, then casually going along with it will obviously lead to more. If you show you're ok with a teaspoon, and then a tablespoon, eventually you'll find yourself taking on a gallon.

Terms change and grow over time.

The reason sexual objectification is seen to fall under misogyny is because it literally strips women of their value and worth as a person to instead view them as an object that exists merely to provide sexual gratification.

I get that terms change over time, but they have to make sense and this case I just don't think that's the case. Adding that context to the word is like adding theft to physical assault. They're both bad, but are clearly varying degrees of bad, and you wouldn't say that someone running by you snatching your purse out of your hand and fleeing is assault.

I'm not saying treating women as if they're just a sex object isn't bad, of course it is, but it isn't on the same level as outright hating them at least to me.

TheRock1525 posted...
This is fundamentally not true. The idea that women are just sex objects created for pleasing men is a core tenet of misogyny. That's part of why they view them as inferior.

Why do you think PUA often self-identify as misogynists?

When I say the history of the word, I mean the beginnings of it. I'm not referring to the past 50 years, but where the word actually came from.

I don't intend to nor will ever defend someone who only sees women as sexual objects, but I don't see that as the same as wanting to see sexually pleasing things. As a straight man, I'm not going to say I don't like a nice female butt, however I'm interested in the rest of her as well. Would you call that misogynistic? I wouldn't think so.

Misogyny (/msdni/) is the hatred of, contempt for, or prejudice against women or girls. It enforces sexism by punishing those who reject an inferior status for women and rewarding those who accept it. Misogyny manifests in numerous ways, including social exclusion, sex discrimination, hostility, androcentrism, patriarchy, male privilege, belittling of women, disenfranchisement of women, violence against women, and sexual objectification.

Yea, I don't see it mention that on either dictionary.com or merriam-webster, and whoever added that on wiki is clearly trying to add meanings to the word that were never intended. Not to say that dictionary and merriam webster aren't infallible, but the history of the word has absolutely nothing to do with viewing women sexually or wanting to see them in a sexual way. That being the case, I highly doubt that gamers who are claiming to not be misogynists are making that statement based on the definition you are using.

Doesn't that technically mean having a disdain or hatred for women? If that's the case, wanting more female butt shots would not be misogynistic.
