they're mad because they can't compete with fictional characters
They don't believe they can compete with fictional characters. Very important difference. I always want to ask these types if they believe that sex is the only thing of value they have to offer men. Even then, I really can't imagine any rational man honestly preferring fictional characters over a loving relationship with someone who really clicks with them.
If we made realistic character design then all women in video games wouldn't be in fighting roles. It's like people don't understand what fiction is all about.
"No, but look at the historical examples of...no, strike that, please don't."
Seriously, though. You have to reach pretty damn far to put women in fighting roles, outside of fiction. And, even then, it's still a reach, just less of one. Archers? A lot of fiction puts women in these roles...but men are still much better due to significantly different upper body strengths. Up until you get to freaking magic, if you apply any level of reality, women aren't suited to such roles.
Ironically, the feminists, troons, and their ilk want to have it both ways. One of the main reasons there are so many fictional warrior women is because they're catering to a male audience. And yet they cry about "sexualization," and "unrealistic depictions," and the "male gaze." Those things are the only reason there even are those fictional women to begin with. As you say, if we were going just of what's realistic, we'd have no female warriors.
I’m at a point where I immediately lose all interest in a game if the protagonist is female and not fan service. If the female character model needs to be “realistic” aka ugly, old, ratchet, etc., then I’m not going to suspend my disbelief to accommodate a woman unrealistically dominating combat versus countless healthy adult male enemies. It’s insulting to the all of the men who have actually fought and died in battle throughout human history. I’ll tolerate the girl boss fantasy if the aesthetic and personality of the character appeal to me as a heterosexual man. Otherwise, I’m not interested, and I don’t care whether or not woke scolds approve my preferences.

I'd argue that's not "girl boss." That has a pretty specific meaning and, even in the rare occasions where girl bosses are actually attractive females, it's still a turn off. That said, yes, I can appreciate a competent, badass woman. Just not a "girl boss."
Otherwise, I’m not interested, and I don’t care whether or not woke scolds approve my preferences.
Agreed. Never care about what the woke scolds thing, unless you're ridiculing them or otherwise arming yourself against them.
No, no, they have a point. We ought to make sure that fictional women present themselves similarly to how the most popular female media figures present themselves in real life. Lets start with OnlyFans and Twitch.
Every video game should have an option in combat for the girl to offer to get nude and sleep with her opponent instead. Would be more accurate than her swinging a sword.
they do they just HATE men giving any attention or spending any resources on anything other than them. women are self-centered children who should never be listened to in any serious discussion.
I don't think it's a tranny, I think it's just an extremely feminized dude with vocal fry. Ironically, he's more feminine than plenty of the "MtFs" we see.
This dude pisses me off, and weirds me out. He's so just...to use their language...he sets off my "ick" in a big way.
I'd be curious about your interactions with him, if you don't mind sharing. And I'd imagine it's kind of weird to see someone you know show up here. Based on some of the people I've known, I can imagine I might get to experience it at some point too.
...he had a tranny friend who was starting drama against one of my friends and I outed it and destroyed an entire private server in the process...
Absolutely A Tier based, my dude.
...he...talked about his "gender identity" more.
Man, I hate clown world. I don't really care about my "gender identity" much at all, but if asked it's...well..."male." You don't really need to elaborate. I hate all this nebulous nonsense. I'm a male, I'm a man, people can read into that as much or as little as they want, but it's none of my business. I'm certainly not going to base my whole personality around additional made up bullshit, or trying to force people to view me in a certain way. "Gender identity" is cringe.
Let's just say though that his persona and complaining about sexualization is very ironic...
I've been friends with some male feminist types before, IRL. Yeah...they have more scantily clad pinup models on their walls than anyone else I know. Fucking hilarious, and the absolute nerve of these people.
The graceful, beautiful type of female designs have massive appeal to women. It's like a classy way to celebrate feminine attractiveness. Sailor Moon is almost like Hello Kitty in terms of cultural staying power.
Depends on the context. If it's in a inhospitable or extremely dangerous environment, probably not depending on the tech/magic level as the systems required to stay alive aren't probably form fitting.
But if that's not an issue due to tech/magic level so goes beyond suspension of belief due to the established mechanics of the world, why not? There's the cope of trying to go 'it's easier to run in form fitting attire' which to a degree is true but brass tacks here, sexual appeal is a weapon.
It can give you confidence to think and move more decisively and can unnerve and unbalance your opponent. There's a reason we have the 'femme fetale' cliche for many spies...
That's about the only thing they like. It's basically their MO. It's how they move through society and life. Sex is their biggest/only bargaining chip. Can't tell if a feminist cunt or a sexless incel wrote that.
"Women don't like being sexualized"
...
Women don't like losing the control over what is considered "sexy" they're mad because they can't compete with fictional characters.
Not that they would be in competition outside of clown world.

There's the answer.

anyone who uses the word "sexualized" should automatically be added to your enemies list
There's a long list of words like that.
Civilization has many enemies.
How about male barbarians in loincloths and harnesses?

Understood, thanks for what you did share!

Sailor Moon got huge with girls and was created by a woman.
How short were those pleated skirts again?

It's also what first got me into anime so long ago, so I have a massive soft spot for it, warts and all.
I even unironically love a few lines from the DIC dub. A few.
Stop posting sourceless demoralization .jpgs
Had the post been the video, the focus would have been the video.
But he wanted to focus on the comments, so he showed a screenshot of the comments, with the originating video in a comment of his own.
Calm down.
No.
He does this every week. He just comes in with some no context screenshot of rage bait. It's a demoralization tactic.
Or he wants to show us what the other side is thinking.
I do the same thing.
I may be breaking a rule by saying this, but...Were you talking about onetruephilosoraptor, I'd get it, but that's not him.
faggots and tourists get the pike.
Wings and swimsuit battle mode , totally impractical. Black dude as Caesar, of course you chud

Lol.
