Toxic Femininity

[lungcao100]

I can no longer stay silent about the insidious infiltration of toxic femininity in Baldur's Gate 3. It seems the designers have unleashed an unrelenting army of overempowered, overachieving, and downright intimidating female NPCs upon us, turning the game into a predictable woke parade.

I couldn't help but notice the endless amounts of girl bosses with powers that defy reason. It's as if the designers dipped their quills in a well of feminist hyperbole and scrawled every cliché in the book. These characters exhibit traits of toxic femininity that are not just irritating but downright harmful to the gaming experience.

The overabundance of these powerful "women" has created a sense of monotony that rivals watching paint dry. Every encounter feels like a rerun of the previous one, with a seemingly infinite supply of indomitable female characters ready to showcase their prowess. It's like a never-ending loop of predictable girl power moments that leave you longing for a bit of diversity in character dynamics.

This undermines the very essence of challenge and accomplishment in the game. Where's the thrill in overcoming obstacles when every antagonist you face is an all-conquering femme fatale? It's as if the designers believe empowerment can only be achieved by diminishing the strength and agency of male characters, perpetuating a skewed and harmful view of gender dynamics.

They've also made every male NPC except for maybe Halsin, a helpless damsel in distress, as if to suggest that men are incapable of handling adversity. This blatant role reversal does nothing but perpetuate stereotypes and further entrench the toxic notion that one gender is superior to the other.

I am not even going to begin to touch on the myriad of sexually ambiguous LGBTQ+ characters that constantly hit on the player relentlessly. That's a topic for another day.

if you do it to deliberately, and know it upsets the person in question then yes it is,
let take gender out of it. if you know a man who changed his name to Paul, but still call him Eric, because you think Eric is his real name, that would be harassment

No, that's not harassment.

Of course I'd be doing it deliberately and of course I'd know it upsets the person in question. If it's not my intent to upset you, however, then I'm not harassing you. If the intentions behind what I'm doing are simply that I don't like to be told what to say, then it's not even about you.

If it bothers you then you're free to never speak to me again, kick me out of your house, not allow me into your business, whatever. You're not being harassed and your rights aren't being violated, though.

that sill harassment, it just dose not rise to the legal definition.

Why would Larien want to promote things we see happening in our reality and not bring there warped agenda into DnD.

Bro, I already explained this. Taylor swift and George Soros made a Time Machine and brainwashed Ed Greenwood in 1987. It’s why all this woke stuff has been in The Forgotten Realms from the beginning

How did you find out about the secret time machine hidden in Area 51?

I pretended to be an lgbt overlord (twink powerbottoms) in my late teens and early twenties to infiltrate the pentagon psyops. That’s right, I took it upon myself to ride men aggressively for God and Bush Jr

I know all that.
Bigger and taller = gigantic advantage.
Body fat and bone is not the singular deciding factor, but is another gigantic advantage.

I did martial arts for only 4 years, but I can tell that in martial arts, when we fight, there are rules that make the fight more fair for everyone, so strength or weight doesn't matter as much. Like, I cannot just grab and ragdoll my opponent, and no direct hit on the head unless we have head protection and padded gloves.

In real life situations as a MA, your goal is not to dominate but to defend yourself. Avoid getting hit, put your opponent on the ground, or put him/her out of service by targeting a weak spot before he/she can react.

From my experience after doing sparing with women of my height, I had to go very easy on her to make sure I didn't hurt her. I was much heavier and stronger than her too.

In boxing or MMA situation however, oh my my, women are such in a big disadvantage its not even fun.

Same with bench press competition.
Same with arm wrestling competition.
Same with strongman competition. (no women come even close to what a strong man can lift)
etc......

Damn straight. If you take the champion, strongest, men fighters and put them up against your average lady Joe, the man wins every time, as it should be. Just like Jesus said “am”.

If Taylor Swift fought stone cold Steve Austin, who’d win? That’s right, Steve would

Go check the strongest man champions vs the strongest female champions in every sport that require strength or fist fighting.

Bench press : Jimmy Kolb vs Ashleigh Hoeta ....... 1401lbs vs 700lbs.
Deadlift : Hafthor Bjornsson vs Lucy Underdown..... 1104lbs vs 702lbs.
Armwrestling : Devon Laratt vs Gabriela Vasconcelos..... He is not even sweating a little.

Do I really need to go on? :/

Weird that your top G female UFC fighters would withdrawl from a match once they learn the opponent was an average UFC male fighter who transitioned and somehow saw her score skyrocket to the moon...

Of course the top 1 G female MMA fighter is going to beat your average untrained Joe, but otherwise, Not.even.close.

See though, usually the argument is that women shouldn't be warriors because of our reality.

So I'm really not sure how to take this

Literally not even accurate at all to how transition works in these sports.
You have to have a confirmed amount of HRT.

HRT messes with your body a lot and once that amount of HRT is done, you basically go down or up to the average in terms of female or male depending on your gender.

This has panned out in data many times. You lose a lot of muscle going on HRT as well as many other dietary and hormonal issues lead your body to perform the average for that gender. You can't just walk in with no HRT and play these sports, nobody is that stupid.

For trans men, many of them can bench way way above what a cis woman can. Even though, biologically (To a lay person), that shouldn't be possible. This is because the massive factor that determines ones body growth and ability is hormones and how they control things like muscular growth and other such.

So... we can tell when people are acting in bad faith?

Huh, who would've thought...

What you need to do is start accusing random people in this thread of being pedophiles.

You'll probably get a temp ban but it will get this thread locked immediately. Are you willing sacrifice yourself to fix this?
