Strategic butt-coverings in video-games

Why do I have to be out of likes now…
Well that is one interesting costume…,like oh well yeah I could go for thatwaitthatsaguy… I can just see all the gamerbros questioning their ‘masculinity’ over it and feeling uncomfortable.
Personally I think it is sexy but I feel the same way I feel about the women’s costumes, oooh nice but is that actually functional?

I think this is more the problem I have with some of the outfits. Form fitting is VERY functional. Belts and straps and cutouts? Not so much. The Lora Croft outfit? Looks pretty close to what a lot of my friends wear when we go camping for a week. Then again, the latest release – Rise Of The Tomb Raider – seems much more useful.

That said, I’m still f’n angry about the fact that someone who claims to be an archaeologist runs around destroying site after site making Indy look like an amateur demolitionist.

I guess that was easy to miss, since I didn’t find any mention of these men at your link here:

Or following the links through these: (sorry for the BIG LINK summaries)

But I don’t doubt that it may have been mentioned elsewhere.

If they feel compelled to go through life as living stereotypes, no wonder they feel uncomfortable! That’s got to be more constraining than a bad costume.

Just take a deep breath - they split and fall right off.

Also, the new scope fits really well with the increased focus on educational use of these videos (they’re developing curriculum and stuff, too). I use her videos in my game design classes with high schoolers, but have always had to make bite-sized edits of the most substantive bits to leave classtime for discussion and production (as well as to appeal to my kids’ minuscule attention spans).

Depends on what the "brush’’ is.

If you know what I mean.

“Comics are ridiculously sexist” is hardly a new observation we need to hear from her on and already has academic work done on it. Sexualized video games don’t have many, yet.

Yeah how dare she rob the world of the brilliant insights we saw that time she didn’t disable comments!:

I guess this would be a bad time to mention that I think Anita Sarkeesian is sexy.

She has a sexy, sexy . . . brain.
