Why are the girls you save somewhat sexualized?

[I'm a Cop, you Idiot]

I thought this was a game for kids....

[Edit] Im kinda tired of people flipping out thinking im angry and protective over what kids will see, im really not that was just a throwaway line I didnt put any thought into.

True. They seem to have handsome bosoms. The Destructroid review did touch on this as a small negative. I'd be worried definitely if I were having young kids play the game. Kinda unnecessary tbh.

Im not saying its bad for the children or im worried or angry its just that alot of time and effort goes into character designs and they specifically made the girls breasts gigantic and drew them with for the most part only underwear. Even the Nymph in that link to Wikipedia is wearing an actual dress.I think its sexualized because its not just subtle they actually put effort into animating them half naked etc. I just dont understand how this is in a kids game is all. You dont have to walk around half naked to be attractive. And if you go on the screenshots section of this game hub and look at some of the pictures of Nymphs the headline on most is something along the lines of "hot hot hot" which I think kinda proves my point

Why am I perverted? Im speaking out againsts it, this seems kinda contradictory to what I said. Dont you think?

No youre missing the point I told you already im not worried/angry about kids and what they see its just more of a rise of my eyebrow since its rated E 10+ youre confusing me with someone like the girl on feminist frequency. Also i really hate it when people use quotation marks to quote something I never even said, im not concerned. Usually when I make posts like this I always find someone with anger twords a specific crowd and since my opinons even slightly remind them of that crowd (in this case extreme tumblr feminists) they give me the reply that they would give whatever crowd they hate.

The vibies I got from your last message are telling me that you completely think im an insane feminist mom when im not I just dont like it when women in video games are walking around in their underwear or are sexualized when nobody else is. I dont care if the real nymphs sometimes are naked thats just how those kinds of myths are and out culture is alot more different than it used to be. If I was still a little kid and played this I wouldnt give it a second glance, same with jessica rabbit because I DID see that when I was a kid.

Im just saying with he amount of hard work and time that goes into making these games why would they think consistently throughout all that time that the only actual human looking girls in the game should be dressed like strippers and need to be saved? Im not saying damseles in distress are wrong its fine i dont care its just a simple plot point etc etc but I think you see my point it just adds a tiny bit of salt on the already tiny little wound. Why cant they just wear a dress and have an actual shirt. Im not a raging feminist this isnt even about equal rights for both genders. I just get a little mad when I see something ridiculous like this, everyone should be properly dressed unless its really well explained

I used to have a friend whos parents were religions zealots, he couldnt collect the comics he wanted to because the Joker was "The Devil" all he had was sports games and Pac Man, nothing rated T. Its pretty crazy, I even saw another kids mom say she didnt like Bowser in Mario party because he was too demonic. Pretty sure he lost all his Mario games

1 ) Young kids don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about sexualysation of video games caracters. If they are really young they don't even see things like adults.

2) Game for kid ? Only because it's cartoonish and full of colors ? Not one young kid will 100% the game, it's pretty hard.

Trolling for the sake of trolling has limits.

[I'm a Cop, you Idiot]

Calling someone a troll when they disagree with you is a serious jerk thing to do. It says that you think my opinions are to stupid that not even an idiot would take them seriously. Thats insulting to me and usually when someone comes right out and insults me I dont take any of their opinions seriously either.

What a load of crap. Everytime a stereotypical ideal female character appears in a game you hear prudes cry about oversexualisation, but when a stereotypical ideal male character appears in a game no one cries about it. Betty Boop and Jessica Rabbit were dozen times more sexualized and we still grew up just fine with that on tv.

Thats suggesting the ideal female is nothing but a sex symbol, I dont think you meant that in an offensive way because I can see what youre saying but I dont think its right to say that.

Betty Boop and Jessica Rabbit were both sex symbols, theres no other way to put it. But in here the Nymphs are not sex symbols yet they are walking around in underwear for some random reason. I simply suggest that they should be fully clothed since they are not meant to repesent sexuality (at least I dont think judging by their body language). And if you really compare the two, Jessica is wearing more clothes than these girls are....sooo yeah.

I revert you to my earlier comment, not all of it applies to you since it was a response to someone else but some of it does and i feel its appropriate

I was put off by this too. I can usually appreciate whatever artistic direction game designers decide to take (even over-the-top ones such as SR3) but this just felt uncomfortably out of place with the rest of the game.

Uncomfortable in the sense that it felt inconsistent with the overall tone of the game. Fantastic job at nitpicking one word and missing the point entirely.

[I'm a Cop, you Idiot]

Thats exactly what I thought, consisttently throughout the game everything is so nice and cheerful. So I brought uo the kids thing because it reminds me of a kids game in how cartoony it is. Nobody else is dressed like a stripper and then all of a sudden you find these perfectly human girls in lingerai and its just weird. Not only is nobody else dressed like that but nobody else is perfectly human like that which leads me to beleive that they are stricly like that for sexualization. Its not really bad please dont get me wrong, but its seriously out of placed and shouldnt be there

[I'm a Cop, you Idiot]

Eh no dude they are dressed like strippers, or at least some of them. The first one is just wearing a bra, a skirt shorter than my underwear, and stockings. Thats literally what strippers wear... what you said I was implying is not what im implying. Its just out of place in this game. Thats it
