Ha ha you're literally fighting for the rights of CARTOON IMAGES by fabio 12/04/2014, 4:28pm PST
What if every game went back to the old days of FMV where every female character was a live actress hired by the company of her own free will to act out the exact same scenes and images? Domestic violence would plummet overnight as the occupants of women's shelters flooded out into the golden streets of a utopian safe space?

Your argument is now officially more retarded than religious anti-porn crusades. You keep mentioning the anti-sex league as the strawman case against you, but you're condemning the entire concept of sexual images as visual titillation* which is a pretty good summation of what Orwell was shooting for.

It's hard to take anything you say as anything but bitter man-hating since your argument could just as easily be applied to romance novel covers. Why O why must the industry constantly "shove such images down my throat" (fatty giveaway- ed.) every time I walk past the book aisle of my local drugstore? Books made by women, appealing to women, and not only is it an endless illustrated parade of chiseled male flesh, but the women are often depicted in provocative poses with heaving bosoms inside bodice-bursting outfits. Almost as if both sexes enjoy escapist fantasies surrounded by idealized forms!


*dear god I hope you're a troll for earnestly throwing out "male gaze". If not, which gender studies class did you crawl out of?
