Dom is a manlet too. Heh.
For the record I'm literally average height, I'm just not tall.
Yes it is mainly autistic weirdos who sexually invest themselves in videogame women, because what's normally attractive about women is also that they have independent personalities which means if they like you or respond well to you that's rewarding.
It's part looks and part behavior. If they don't have a personality then they're just a complicated masturbatory aid.
Autists and shut ins need women to basically just be objects they can control because they don't connect with other people, so they obsess over anime girls and videogame characters who have no personality.
These are images that aren't representative of any woman in the world, so you aren't finding women attractive, you're getting off to the masturbatory material created by other men like some sort of gross homosexual puppet show. Maybe next you could all put on dresses and suck each others' dicks.
If you don't want to live in a soviet style regime maybe consider doing something except wanking to nonexistent women and playing games, cause that looks real fucking dystopian from where I'm sitting.
You should consider the fact these idiots are too busy fretting over scantily clad women in videogames to ever do anything of any consequence to be a blessing.
These are all very good points, friend.
I don't see the harm in appreciating sexy anime, video game etc babes, but obviously too many guys take that interest too far to the point that it's not healthy.
I never thought of it this way but you're right that the whole thing is kind of gay isn't it? You can see the natural evolution of troonism from guys who take the fetishism of the female body too far and eventually act it out on themselves and each other.
I try to avoid that, but look on the bright side, it was the battle over this issue that repdilled me in the first place and woke me up to the wider world and the truth, I'd be in way worse shape had it not been an interest to me and had I not had the brains to see what was going on was wrong and the guts to speak out about it, which ultimately led me to severing ties with a lot of soyed out losers I used to interact with.
Also, literally anything and any interest can be taken too far, liking Sonic The Hedgehog games doesn't mean you have to take it as far as Chris Chan did for one example.
If you want me to power level a bit about what specifically my politics are, I guess you could call me a "libertine conservative" (which is NOT the same as libertarian btw), I don't fit the mold of the nuclear family, I don't have children, I have some non-conservative interests and likes.
But I have nothing but respect for the nuclear family, I have nothing but respect for the conservative ideals, I'm not in opposition to it nor do I see it as something inherently in opposition towards me, I'm not like a Woke person who is actively working to destroy these things.
Should I follow the mold more? Maybe so, but at least I have the right attitude and perspective.
Let me put it to you this way, it's human nature to sometimes engage in a little "naughty" behavior at least sometimes, literally everyone does this, you can argue that's why things have gone so wrong in the west is we took conservatism TOO far and cracked under the pressure, you can't be buttoned up 100% of the time, it's simply not human nature, even the middle ages had Fat Tuesday.
I don't look at the Muslim world as a model to follow, to me it's the opposite end of the coin of what Woke is which is probably why they seem so ironically friendly with each other.
I believe in trying to find a healthy balance between I guess what's always been the grand debate throughout human history, where do you draw the line between freedom and duty?
You know, your post has got me thinking about some real deep, philosophical shit all day, it's been crazy in fact, I don't really have time to go into it now and I'm debating whether to make it a post or a thread.
But what I will say for now is I simply have a relaxed attitude about the human body, it's just how I was raised, a lot of our mindsets over nudity and when and where it's appropriate and how much skin is appropriate to show do come down to simple cultural differences and it's not something that has a clear cut morality to it (beyond a few obvious exceptions).
Do we call Michelangelo's David degeneracy because he's nude? Do we call someone a pervert if they have a statue or painting of a nude female body in their home? To me the polygon or the pixel is just the modern version of the paint or stone and chisel and my appreciation of the female form is sometimes just aesthetics and not always purely SEXUAL.
I'm just a guy who's big on pleasing aesthetics in general, REALLY BIG on aesthetics, I love Art Deco, stuff like that and I will say that when it comes to conservatism versus liberalism as much I love a lady showing some skin I also completely love women's dresses of the Georgian era, Victorian era and Edwardian era even though those typically didn't show much skin.
But are you really gonna sit here and tell me it's always wrong to appreciate female beauty when the female body is something created by God Himself? What better aesthetic designer could there be? I think a woman in one of those full body burkas is probably more offensive to God than a woman wearing nothing at all.
And imagine a culture in which women wear both Victorian style dresses and when they hit the beach, thong bikinis, would that not be a healthily balanced culture?
I think it's an interesting topic to discuss and debate, that's all.
Only autistic weirdos completely lose their shit over a costume change of a video game character.
I never really "lost my shit" over this, you're strawmanning.
What I lose my shit over is the wider issue of Woke which is worth being angry about.
Most people would just go "I prefer the old look" - not go on a tirade about how the world is ruined now.
Woke is actively ruining the world, the trouble has been "most people" don't realize that though I think that's changing.
lol calm down, I'm not trying to get you banned and censored for my patron saint Anita.
All I'm doing is sharing my views and opinions about your views and opinions.
Alright, but you seem to be implying I'm doing something wrong by just sharing my views, but maybe I'm getting the wrong impression.
Making you pay for the old costume would be a pretty logical reason.
Another one would be that they already ran out of their allotted time and resources doing the primary costumes - one costume is a small thing but even the small things add up.
Really not hard to come up with some perfectly logical reasons.
Making you pay would be greedy and greed is not logical.
But the topic didn't come up. It's what your mind that Anita broke all these years ago immediately jumps to.
Who still gives a shit about Anita except for you?
Even feminists are all "sex work is a legitimate job" now. They don't want a more modest Cammy, they want a naked fat black Cammy with giant balls instead. True equality will only be achieved when we get testicular jiggle physics
You're right I'm too hung up on Anita and what went down a long time ago now, you're totally right about that.
You're right that the attitudes have changed among Woke in this age of OnlyFans and thank goodness, I've noticed that that it's the "Woke" thing now for a woman to flaunt her body, I'm shocked by some of the things I see women wearing these days and now in a bad way!
Because I've always agreed with the Woke types and the feminist types, as much as I've had some strong disagreements with them, that telling a woman to "cover up" is fundamentally a creepy and gross thing to do, it's like with public breast feeding, how big of an asshole do you have to be to give a woman a hard time about that? That's what breasts are for!
But it's the hypocrisy of these people that pisses me off, why is it ok to put a picture of your butthole on OnlyFans but don't you dare put a video game woman in a bikini? Why were these exact same people getting their asses chapped over video game women a decade ago and now applaud real life women posting nudes online?
The best I can understand it is it has something to do with personal agency, but it still makes no sense, if it's ok for a real life woman to whip them out why do they suddenly have a meltdown if a man draws or designs a fictional woman wearing little? It's insane.
Woke is nothing but an endless series of double standards that make zero sense.
But as you mentioned, they're more ok with sexual content now, but they're beauty standards suck, they call ugly beautiful, which is part of the problem, they're also biased against heterosexuality, they're fine with as much sexual content as you want so long as it's LGBT.
Who is taking away your freedom? Who's stopping you from drawing sexy Cammys? Modding nude Cammys into Street Fighter? Playing the old games you prefer? Playing other fighters with sexier characters?
That's a silver lining to this digital age is the tools in our hands like mods.
But it sucks that among the actual development scene there's immense pressure not to have this stuff forcing us to take matters into our own hands, it shouldn't be like this.
Who is taking away this freedom? Who do you think? The Twitter mob, the blue hair brigade, the shitheads that did stuff like sink Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 which is the clearest example yet of how Woke wrecks game development.
A company making a new product that you don't like has absolutely zero effect on your freedom.
What you actually want is less freedom for Capcom.
To be forced to make their new game, that they put millions into to make, to cater to your tastes.
Capcom has the freedom to make games you don't like. To try new and different things with their IP. Even the freedom to make an objectively shitty game (they make use of that freedom quite a lot).
I'd prefer if Street Fighter still used 2D sprites but you don't see me crying about Capcom taking away my freedom. Just don't buy the game.
When companies start putting out nothing but Woke shit, that's taking my freedom of the pursuit of happiness away.
I'm just saying we have a right to options, Woke wants everything their way and only their way 100% of the time, that's violating our freedom.
And if something's bad enough, I don't buy it, but it's an issue when what could have been cool was ruined.
