      in the first version she looks like she wants to go into battle and defend herself and so on. in the second version she looks like she wants you to hit on her. one version is a person and the other is a male fantasy. you can't have women being entire whole people w/ motivations etc, she needs to exist to be palatable to men

    I know many people who have stated OP's point are often being hyperbolic for the sake of comedy, but I really do think you're on to something here, and I want to elaborate on it further. Nearly universally, every one of these online chuds who make endless waterfalls of "HAS insert media here GONE WOKE?!" content - if you followed all of their advice and listened to all of their complaints and did exactly what they asked you to, you would eventually just have hardcore pornography wherein someone who looks just like them violently fucks women and kills men. A snuff film, in effect. And every one of these "content creators" I mentioned, it should be said, just so happen to look like the sort of guy who just goons all day and loves jacking off more than anything else. I mean this, seriously and sincerely, and as someone who is generally sex-positive and pro-masturbation: these dudes have had their brains fucking COOKED and FRIED by watching too much hardcore porn and just gooning constantly. It's almost self-evident, they're practically telling on themselves. And now, any time they engage with media whose sole focus isn't being titillating to their deranged viciously misogynistic fantasies, they throw a tantrum like a baby. More broadly, I think they apply this same worldview onto reality at a certain point too, and then their pornographic habits bleed into how they view the real world, and even worse, how they view politics and other human beings. Porn can be fine, isolated in a context, and so can self-pleasure, but these dudes are clearly taking it way too far and letting it infect how they see the rest of the world. Having 24/7 access to porn isn't enough, they DEMAND like a petulant child that all media, universally, look exactly like the porn they consume.

    This is a thread I want to pull on more and an idea I've wanted to explore more. How men's porn consumption habits (specifically hardcore, violent, and overtly misogynistic pornography, which is blasted everywhere online) can lead to real changes in their political views, especially if it's something that's done daily or every other day. Then, by demanding that reality conform to their expectations that have been established through pornography, they essentially non-consentually rope us all into their weird sexual fantasies and kinks. You see it with Muskrat and his breeding kink. You see it with incels and tradcaths. And you see it with this weird unwavering insistence that "NO! All women are SEXY BITCHES! It is woke BRAINWASHING to tell me strong butch women exist!! Theres never been a strong woman ever! I know that for a fact because every day I watch 3-4 hours of videos of women being overpowered and brutalized by men! That's normal and healthy!! Shut up I don't have a problem!!"

      I think cuckoldry is like the weird older brother of the foot fetish. I will not elaborate further

      spoiler

      Yes I will. These are the kind of people who obsess over cuckoldry content. I think if you're going to get at the core of reality warping pornography, it'd be fruitful to start there. In the same way that people are funny about feet - sniffing emojis and pixelated piggies, people get really really mad about cuckoldry. It can absolutely be salacious and it puts eyes on screens. But I think, at some level, the obsession with it stems from a core group of people getting off to cuck porn - in the truest sense of a film with a person in a chair watching two people go at it. They'll go spam 4chan about it and anon'll get all riled up and the spammers start laughing to themselves. Then anon starts talking about infidelity and divorce and wanting to go back to when people were chaste for one reason or another. Then that sludge seeps into the drinking water and then old windbags who talk about restricting birth control get popular (and I bet they don't even understand why and their ideas probably don't even conform to this dynamic, they're just weird for the love of the game). All the while they're just taking seriously, manifesting, and enacting some kind of pornographic scenario. The foot fetish equivalent would be a candidate who wore a different pair of sandals to every rally and refused to stand behind a podium without saying why. I theorize it as the archetypal politicosexual pathology.

            I stopped playing the moment that happened. I'm not anti-porn as much as I'm anti "everything must always be panderingly sexed up whenever possible for maximum maturity." When maturity begins and ends with what a horny teenage boy might define as mature, it doesn't really seem that actually mature to me.

                I've been accused of being anti-sex or anti-porn before, and that's laughably wrong. I'm just anti "every waking moment of every day must be a rope-tugging moment of perpetual titillation" in advertising, trailers, and entertainment in general. Oversaturating everything with plastic horniness is tedious and even eye-rollingly boring, a failure of creativity and imagination that often lacks actual sensuality anyway.

    I don't know shit about this character or the game but setting aside all boobplate discussions, that shawl she is wearing is extremely useful especially given the time period and the fact that she appears to be an assassin-type character.

    Not only can that shawl be used as a bandage or tourniquet but it can also be used to bind things, including tying up a captive's hands, it can be made into a makeshift bag, and it can also be used as a sort of defensive weapon to distract an opponent, to wrap around a weapon that an opponent strikes or throws at her, and also in particular using the clasp to weight the end as a way to strike at the eyes of her opponent to throw them off balance or to get them to move their guard upwards thus leaving part of their body exposed.

    Nothing like people who pride themselves in being stuffy, prudish Jesusy types claim that it’s anti-conservative that video game women AREN’T naked enough.

    My pet conspiracy is that CHUDs sincerely want life to be completely sexless and joyless for us lowly poors, lgbt folk, and other “lessers”, but they get all the debauchery for themselves as “reward” for conforming so well. It’s the ultimate expression of the Madonna/whore complex. They think everyone should be strapped in a chastity belt except for them.
