Maybe men like women being competent and sexy. Trust me, if you can't understand the appeal of a scantly clad woman fighting
lol shut the fuck up, smarmy idiot.
Taki, of the Soul Caliber series (to seize a personal favorite example) isn't appealing because she's a woman fighting. She's appealing because she has huge fucking tits with their own gravitational pull, wears skin-tight spandex outfits that always accentuates her big fat puffy nipples (and sometimes even some camel toe too), and fights in a game series that implements jiggle physics, meaning every time she moves her fat floppy tits move more than anything else on the screen. No one gives a shit that she's larping as a stronk wamyn fighter who don't need no man. They're staring at her fat floppy tits (or ass if she's facing away from the camera; usually they put jiggle physics there too
).
"Le stronk fighting wamyns" is a feminist fantasy. Yes, there's a animalistic, almost sexual appeal in seeing a woman fighting an enemy in defense of her children, but 1) that's fantasy, and 2) astonishingly rare, as women are built to escape, hide, organize, regroup, and care for their young, not fight. A woman fights if she has literally no other options, or is mind-bogglingly retarded.
I'm sure some will roll their eyes at my introduction of culture war shit into a perfectly reasonable "lol fuck you Sony" discussion, but one of The Critical Drinker's single most effective and devastating criticisms against modern "akshun grrrrrl" cinema is how he describes every scene wherein the plucky, young(ish) sexy badass boss girl fights off all her evil, incompetent, big dumb enemies no matter how implausible it is. I paraphrase, of course, but it's always "she spends a few minutes fucking around with the gang of unreasonably accommodating stuntmen before she gets on to confront the Big Dumb Bald White Guy."
"Unreasonably accommodating stuntmen." Puts a hell of a blunt point on things, eh? There is a physical element the "tough female warrior" archetype can simply never actually overcome, and so usually just ignores. The stuntmen she's fighting are conspicuously incompetent
and unexpectedly helpful. It's like they're losing on purpose, taking a dive to make her look cool, and inflicting brutal takedowns, flips and falls on themselves while making it seem like she's doing it since her muscles cannot force them to, because the script demands it.
Men are bigger than women. There's a fucking reason we keep men and women separate in combat sports -- if we didn't, women would routinely fucking
die fighting men. Given no advantages -- just face-to-face, man-to-woman, no weapons, no guns, no nothing -- women cannot fight men with any expectation of "victory." The best a woman can generally hope for is briefly disabling a male foe (ball shot, sand to the eyes, etc.) for a chance to hide, arm herself, or escape. Something like the top 1% of exemplar female athletes possess the bare minimum strength to reach the bottom-tier capacity of an underrated, underperforming male athlete.
This isn't even theory or hypothetical. Look at troons trying to contaminate women's sports. That faggot Fallon Fox fought six MMA matches (and won five of them), brutally beating and injuring his female opponents, and the one time a woman beat him had
literally everyone on their feet cheering for her because of 1) how rare it was to see a woman get one over on a big strong man, and 2) how much the fucking asshole richly deserved the beating. He shattered women's jaws in the ring, and tranny rights assholes cheered him on for it.
It's not a matter of being mean or anything. Women look fucking
great in skin-tight spandex and I'd be delighted for that to become standard attire for any woman who isn't obese
but treating the notion of "women can fight men" as anything besides giggle-worthy fantasy is just retarded. At best it's just patronizing ("oh yes, you're a good girl, of
course you could beat up Andre the Giant, [pats head], now go make dinner", and at worst it's dangerous letting women believe they have a fighting chance when they don't.
