Hmm. That's an interesting opinion. What makes you think 'all' feminists are enraged with any of the current stances by Intrepid or discussion in this thread?

Yeah it's a pretty good selection.

I believe the 'nuanced' words you are looking for are "strictly speaking not beneficial for fighting, and mostly there to make the character attractive to gynophyllic people with western standards of beauty." Heels make your feet sore and make you much easier to knock off balance in exchange for a butt lift. I don't care what word you want to call it. But it's obvious WHY it's in the pictures that have them.

Some of your 'pics without boob windows' were re-posts. So I'm glad we can find some common ground and agreement on both sides of the discussion that those were great pics that should totally serve as inspiration for the devs.

If you want to have a nuanced discussion about lib-fem definitions of beauty and patriarchal constructs intersecting with self perception, I suggest you join a feminist forum to have that kind of rational discussion. This forum isn't good enough at having a rational complex conversation about such topics. So your going to have to work harder than that if that is really where you want to go.

That was more so directed at the person you were responding to, although I can see how it could be felt directed at you.

I don't really disagree with basically anything you just said. I probably wouldn't use the word 'bimbo' in this kind of discussion though. Then again I wouldn't use the word 'thot' either but sometimes you just gotta adapt to other peoples sometimes vitriolic sometimes innocent dictionary to meet them half way.

I'd love to have a much more nuanced conversation about this topic. But I really just don't think this forum is fit for it due to the general lack of civil decorum and commitment to genuine discourse.

For example, James has brought up that old adage of 'sexualized male costumes' as if the two are equivalent. It's been explained several times on this forum in particular why this is a flawed and unnuanced take. But it'll just get rolled away out of the brain space since they have 'better things to do' and aren't necessarily looking to change their opinion.

So rather than arguing and repeating doing the work to once again walk people through such things. I'll just keep pointing them to go and try and argue that sort of point in a different kind of forum dedicated to those issues if they want to do more than state their opinion, since I can only assume they are bringing up such points for reasons other than wanting to hear their own talking points. You feel me @Caeryl ?

Margaret is a fairly reasonable person who is capable of nuance. I'm sure a reasonable position is being advocated for in the design room as long as she is there, based on the monthly skins.
