Unsexy

[narcloft]

Would it be at all possible to have a version of this game that does not have super sexualized zombies? Like, I get it, there are a lot of lonely male gamers who want the biggest, roundest boobs on their stripper zombies. But there are also a lot of women gamers who are kinda' sick of being viewed as objects. And when you make an undead thing sexy? Like.... what the crap? Gross. If you won't take them out of the game, could you at least make a simple box to tick in the menus that makes those models not show up? Maybe make them show up LESS? Anything? I've been playing this game for eons and I want to play it with my wife, who is just so done with being objectified.

The stripper zombie used to be completely topless, should be thankful.

To be honest? I would be fine with it if the game had a few topless zombies. If the dead were coming back, they would be in various states of clothed and not. They might also have rotted out chests. But I would expect them to show up fairly infrequently, along with occasional topless or bottomless men and women. The point here is not to hide the female body. It is to represent it and the male body as being equally, normal things. Not objects at which to oggle. It's weird, you can have nuanced opinions about things.

Nope female body don’t care about the male body boobs are magic

There used to be a stripper zombie, but it was removed with the cheerleader and football jock.

There is probably a mod for what you want.

Agreed, 90% of Jen's dialogue is just silly sex jokes which get tiresome for me even quicker than the rest of the 'clever' trader dialogue. The thing is the devs and a significant portion of the player base seem to be mired in the middle school/Bevis and Butthead mindset (huh huh huh BOOBS!) If the male traders were dressed in posing pouches you can be sure that the same players would be up in arms pretty quick.

The balance of the zombies seem fine to me, 90% of the zombies are not "Sexualized" at all, a bit like the real world.. most zombies are just plain, a fat man, a fat woman, skinny man, skinny plain woman and so on.. even the nurse used to be more like a kinky nurse, now just a plain normal looking nurse.

But a stripper is a stripper.. literally her job is to be sexy.. and there are people like that out in the real world and if they did become zombies, well? also there's a few stripper poi's in game.

There are also a lot of zombie movies that have some kind of stripper zombie, like Zombieland, there's even a movie called "Zombie Strippers"

If there isn't a mod, it would be a few minutes work to make one that would remove (replace) the party girl. A bit longer to make one that just made her more rare.

I knew when I posted this that I would be inundated with comments from exactly those sorts of guys. But the point here was to get the attention of the devs. I'm hoping other women will comment here and let everybody know that women play games too and don't appreciate this sort of thing. I'm thrilled the devs got rid of the stripper zombies. I'm annoyed the girl in nothing but an apron remains. I almost wouldn't have minded the strippers if they just showed up in the strip club but they showed up all over the place. And the nurses? Yes, they downplayed the kinky nurse thing to some extent but they are still dressed in form fitting 1960s style uniforms. Where are the scrubs and crocs?!

Indeed. Well you have my thanks for the post, good to let people know that this is, for some folks, a point of contention.

Are you playing a modded game? There's no zombie wearing just an apron in vanilla. And the nurse is wearing scrubs, perhaps a bit more form fitting than you'd typically find IRL. I do agree that much of the humor is middle school boy level, maybe a little amusing at first but gets old pretty fast.

wait..
your seriously asking that this game, whos whole foundation and founders is based off a "PIMP" model to remove zombie breast?
you might want to google what the definition of a pimp is.

As a BASED ALPHA MALE GAMER (tm)...

I'm glad they started to phase out the """sexy""" stuff. I get that it's meant to be campy and not a super serious game, but if I want to get my rocks off, i'll play a lewd game.

Same reason I hate most anime, if I wanted to see lewd stuff then I'd cut out the middle man and go to hentai.
