I'll play bg3 forgetting women's sexualization exist cos I make the female companions wear normal armor, my female Tav wears the basic rest outfit (which is basically the male Tav outfit) and I make Astarion wear the revealing outfits I find/buy.

But then I stumble upon a yt vid or a tiktok or an Insta reel where all the female companions are in Bikini armors and the male companions entirely covered. And I’m forced to remember.

And that's not even mentionning the number of comments I've seen where players mention playing with x female companion naked. To which another player will automatically reply: "Not too hard to play with one hand? ;))"

#this isnt even a male gamer thing #the female gamers will make their female tav wear super revealing clothes too. #and even if you just keep the original outfits. the Rest clothes are way more revealing for lae/karlach/shadowheart/minthara than for the #guys. #men vs women #radical feminism #rambling into the void #radfem please interact #radfem safe #radical feminist safe #sexualisation #radical feminists please touch #women's clothes vs men's clothes #wanna make a Twitter account with a bot that calculates the amount of skin shown by men vs women. wether fictionnal or not

Gentlemen, are you telling us that, if we (women) let you guys join us in all our fun secret nerd stuff, e.g. Legos, MTG, DND, Football, ect. ...if we let you part-take WITH US... you won't be misogynistic, gate-keeping, assholes? Cause make no mistake motherfuckers, if we can 'buy ourselves flowers' WE SURE AS SHIT CAN GET THE NEW MANDELORIAN LEGO STARFIGHTER SET! YOU CAN BET YOUR BALLSACK ON THAT!!

Think it through, gentlemen. Discuss it amongst yourselves. Because if you fuck this up, ONE. MORE. FUCKING. TIME. (By doing DUMB shit, like: asking of our commander deck is 'our bf's deck', or talking to us like we're FUCKING stupid, or asking if 'our bf wrote our campaign') THEN I SWEAR TO GOD AND SUNNY FUCKING JESUS, WE WILL COLLECTIVELY REFUSE ALL DATES WITH ANY OF YOU, EXCEPT JOANNE FUCKING FABRICS!!! AND YOU BEST BELIEVE YOU LITTLE BITCHES ARE PAYING!!!!

So, think it over, guys. We'll try not to immaculate you with our superior game play. 😘

When you grow up seeing female archetypes in the media, there are some that get left out of feminist discourse. Namely "best girl". Anita Sarkeesian never talked about the "best girl" archetype in Feminist Frequency (although she did break down the Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope well. I've only ever heard "best girl" used by men/boys/AMAB NBs (assigned male at birth non binaries). In part, I think, because that's who most of the "gamers" I know are and certainly most of the gamers involved in online gamer culture spaces. "Best girl" is complementary and usually describes a female character who is actually more well-rounded, more realistic than the other female archetypes in games. Mostly negative or damaging female archetypes from games are discussed in feminist discourse.

I think it's a problem with how women or AFAB (assigned female at birth) people are socialized because it happens with interpersonal relationships too. Women often cherry-pick their negative experiences and feelings as the topic of conversation with girl friends, or fem spaces, when discussing their romantic relationships. I even find myself doing it. Sometimes it's a healthy outlet for venting frustration but I think it also has some very negative consequences. (The following statements are primarily about discussions of benign relationships, abusive relationships and the behavior around them can look very different from this and I'm not wading into that right now. If you are in an abusive relationship, please seek help from an organization near you. If you are scared your abuser will find out, go to your local library, you can say you want to get a book or attend a community event. They have computers and knowledgeable staff who will be happy to help you find resources and are not required to report patron interactions.)

1) girl friends and anyone else receiving the gossip (and I know that is a hot button word but I'm not just going to call it "the tea" because everyone knows that's the same thing right now but they might not in 5 years) get a lopsided impression of the relationship being discussed not only because they're only getting one side of the story but because that story itself isn't even the whole story for the side that's telling it. This issue goes beyond women and is more of a human condition issue. As they say, "misery loves company", in this case meaning that when people are enjoying themselves, they want to soak in that feeling and are not driven to express their feelings but when they have negative feelings they want to get them outside of themselves. But AFABs are socialized to do more of this. So when things are going well in a relationship, people may just say "oh things are really good right now!" or maybe even some details of things they're doing with their partner, but when things are going poorly, the immediate response is to analyze and rehash every detail like you're planning a strategic military operation and say all of the negative stuff you wouldn't say to your partner.

2) because women have this "vent" for frustrations, they might not actually try very hard to change the situation by talking issues out with their partner, leaving their partner at a disadvantage because the woman has not spelled out the issue clearly enough for the partner to change anything. There is an addictive quality to this behavior, and there is a social payoff too in that AFABs can get a lot of mileage out of pity without having to do anything. AFABs are often socialized to downplay their successes and so if you're happy and you share it with your friends, hopefully they're happy for you, but if you're upset, they get upset with you and it creates more of a bond. This is not a "trauma bond", a trauma bond happens between the victim of abuse and the abuser. But it is bonding over trauma, and that can reinforce learned helplessness.

3) this reinforces stereotypes about women and men even though contexts have changed significantly in certain ways. While men and boys historically had the advantage in work and academics, as well as other fields, women and girls have been out-performing men and boys for over a decade. There is a book called "Of Men and Boys" by Richard Reeves that discusses these issues in a truly well-balanced, well researched, and effective way. There are still disparities in wealth and emotional labor, and obviously the threat to women's reproductive rights is terrifying and is a tool to take away these gains. But the average AMAB actually faces more disadvantages in school, particularly if he/they are also a POC (person of color) or poor. So while the men in power, usually men who have held powerful positions from before the social shifts of the last 2 decades, are absolutely belligerently advantaged over women/AFABs, the average man/AMAB does not hold the reigns of society, he has the bit in his mouth, he is enslaved by Late Stage Capitalism. And the anger men and boys feel at being enslaved is often redirected from the actual cause of their problems to the women and girls they see surpassing them, and they feel there is insult added to injury when women talk about them like they are subhuman. That isn't an excuse for violence, but it is important to recognize where we really stand.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

hbomberguy has singlehandedly (singlefeetedly?) stomped out all the sprouts of me wanting to pick up doctor who again. also what do you mean 13 arrived 5 years ago???

#on the contrary the desire to rewatch 9 and 10 is still strong #wait moffat didn't write 13? maybe i should just give up on 12 (although capaldi is so) and pick up starting with 13 #although people in the comments don't seem thrilled by chibnall's run #wait but also i don't want to miss all the missy stuff:( #you really don't have to care #i've been watching hbomberguy chronologically and it's so weird #it's like i'm going through historical layers on an archeological dig - feminist gamers; tracer's butt; b99 being popular

needlessly cynical? gotta be when despite having a disorder that affects your memory, you're seemingly the only bitch that can remember that the barbie movie's being published by the one major company left that still sees the hag's blood money as a good investment

#'the company that published a game by a gamergater in the universe of a terf will make a feminist masterpiece!' Uh Oh Gamers! #but come on fucking really. did you think for two seconds before publishing that take. #whether you've got rocks for brains or you deserve to have one lodged in your brain. #barbie #not enough spoons or time to do the image id

still thinking about that really detailed and useful suzerain guide that nonetheless pissed me off so bad because they kept hating on monica. why do you hate your outspoken, independent, feminist wife? 🤨

#joking obs do whatever you want cause it's a fictional character.......BUT 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨 #do you dislike ciara too? do you dislike your outspoken independent feminist minister too? 🤨 #it pissed me off so bad! but i do still need the gameplaycentric minmaxxing gamers who dont care about the narrative. #according to jules

wish i found leon and ada believable as a couple bc the dynamic of action hero and antihero who steals shit from them inc. their heart and brain is so good but unfortunately there is nothing there. and there will continue 2 be nothing there as long as ada exists in perpetuity as the video game equivalent of the sexy green m&m

#or #revil posting #they went too far w the mystique of it all they forgot to give her a character #like i love her in my brain she's wonderful <3 but she is really like a sexy lamp for all of the character work capcom put into her #ada is. competent. and wears cocktail dresses to the zombie apocalypse on two separate occasions. thts it xoxo #she's also a feminist bc she feels bad that carla got her shit rocked by mad science but not that bad yk cause shes ambivalent #her va in the remakes is doing so much by giving her that flat affect but my running wild with an autism headcanon is not a real trait #(neither is the likely intention of her just being . really bored of me lol) #that ada wong actually has and expresses <3 this is a post where i talk abt how i do not connect with The revil ship but #now it's a post about how ada could be Everything. they Stole her Moments they Took her Cutscenes #and she already had so little......... my beloved #sorry ive just googled are there books about ada wong and she is in One book. and this review says the author 'gives life to characters #whose motivations we normally only get in cutscenes' or w/e and now im wondering if i need to read this. if This will tell me #give me Ada Info. Ada Lore. #god and i havent even mentioned that leon is gay and all the smart gamers know it!!! #the ideal ada/leon dynamic is roommates

i think the funniest thing that motive could do if/when they remake dead space 2 is to genderswap ellie and then not say absolutely anything about how they're going to handle dead space 3

#dead space #i just think it would be funny to see anti sjw gamers have a meltdown about it #maybe then EA would make her a co-op partner in ds3 #lol #not that i want co-op in any potential future dead space game imo #it's just funny how big of a meltdown people had bc there were all-gender restrooms in the remake #esp when like #imho the most materially 'feminist' thing they did was just like #expanding all the characters and making them feel more like real people #like yes especially kendra and nicole but also isaac hammond cross and temple #yknow treating them w empathy instead of them either being obstacles #goals #or exposition/plot machines hsdlkfj
