Why video games are better than real life.
Ouh, I couldn’t resist. This is just too accurate….
just a friendly reminder that we are closer to 2017 than 2007
I saw the screencap, burst out laughing, then scrolled down and my laughter became so intense that I stopped producing noise entirely.
Why can’t female characters be sexy and still be strong? If you’re going to say that real women should be respected no matter what they wear, why can’t you apply the same to virtual women?
And why can’t we get nonsexy ladies then? Rather strange that argument only comes up when people criticize game design.
UHM HAVE YOU GUYS SEEN THE FEMALE CHARACTERS THEY’RE PRESENTING?
Lemme break it down for you because “hurr we got one screencap of the damn game that totes means objectifying blergh bullshit”.
As far as information given there are 5 female heroes out of 11, and out of the 11, 1 of them is a genderless robot. So now you’ve got an equal distribution of the sexes. Wow!
The five heroines are: Widowmaker (screencapped above), Pharah, Symmetra, Mercy, and Tracer. And let me tell you a thing about how that screen cap ain’t doing shit because as far as designs go, the majority of them aren’t sexualised.
Let’s start with Widowmaker:
Obviously you’re impressed by Widowmaker’s skin tight suit. But then again, she is still a badass.
Mercy:
Now, you can’t really complain about Mercy here being scantily clad and looking soooooo sexy. She’s a support, and she’s fully clothed it’s pretty damn cool. Sure, her boobs are kinda defined… but so are her bomb ass guns?
Tracer:
Okay, I’m gonna admit and say that when I first saw Tracer, I thought she was a teenage boy. She’s not scantily clad, she’s not buxom, and she’s definitely not weak.
Symmetra:
Here we have an Indian lady called Symmetra. Symmetra shows a lot of thighs, but in no way is she sexualised throughout the gameplay (if you’ve watched it). In addition to that, she also seems to have a prosthetic arm. She’s kinda going into super badass level?
AND FINALLY PHARAH
Pharah’s Egyptian and basically a mega bamf. Full on armor. You’d be realllllly reaching if you said she’s shown as some sort of sexy character in the game.
You don’t have to like the type of game it is but the character designs are far from objectifying and stereotypical. Alongside actually getting some representation like Indian and Egyptian heroes.
tl;dr: Kotaku is a piece of shit.
Yeah, I’m not surprised that Kotaku, a site full of people who equate critiquing or trying to discuss anything with a woman instead of just taking her word as law as harassment and sexism, is trying to take just one character from this game and call the whole this sexist. That doesn’t stink of bias or over reachingat all!

Never forget “Kotakutan.”
Let their hypocrisy be known even beyond their words.
This is why I’m terrified to admit that I’ve been a victim of sexual assault.
Don’t fucking ignore this. Read every single one of these comments. This is the world we live in.
Fun fact: Men don’t get erections strictly when they’re aroused. You know what can trigger an erection? Fear. Adrenaline. Even fucking waking up in the morning. People with penises can, in fact, be raped.
These comments make me sick.
We should have a holiday called Space Day, where lights are to be shut off for at least an hour at night to reduce light pollution, so we can see the galaxy.
Holy shit I actually really, really, really, really want this to be a thing!

My drag family
A man finds a handmade wooden box with hinges, a handle and locks. Upon opening the box, he finds some strange letters and illustrations. The person who originally owned this box seemed to be into UFOs, Science, Maps and Biblical Prophecies—which is an odd combination. Here are some of the things found within the box.
This drawing that dates back to 1939.
Numerous illustrations and letters about Extraterestrial encounters.
The original owner had a fascination with these strange winged-humanoid creatures as well.

This post has broken me. My whole thought process has been turned on it’s head, and everything I know is wrong.
I thought humor was the act of defying expectations in an ironic way. This did not defy my expectations. I was expecting this. I expected this exact outcome, every single bit of it. Yet, when it happened, I laughed. I am still laughing. Liquid is coming out of my eyesockets. This is wrong. This should not be funny.
So thank you, Tumblr, for absolutely decimating my perception of humor. I will never laugh again.
