I love reading the comments on this post. They’re full of little boys who don’t understand anything they’re talking about going WAH I WANT BOOBIES WAH.

Seriously -

“I guess eviscerating a woman on screen is fine but how dare we oppress them by revealing too much skin” What you’re trying to say here is that there shouldn’t be any women in fighting games at all, correct? I mean, it’s Mortal Kombat, the idea is that the characters are fighting to the death. Women playing the game know the violence is part of the game and totally fictional, we just want to be able to play characters we can identify with without feeling like we need to put on more clothes every time we look at them - and maybe cosplay our favourites without having you grubby little shits act like we’re props for your pleasure at cons. This is, plain and simple, a red herring fallacy. Try being honest with yourself about why more women being able to feel comfortable playing this game makes you angry. This also goes for the “Johnny Cage is shirtless” crowd.

“She looks boring now why would men want to play the game if the women all look like that” You want porn and you’re a grumpy little teenager (or adult with the mind of a teenager) who can’t comprehend why, after decades of catering to people just like you, the gaming industry has decided it’s more lucrative to be inclusive and cater to other people as well.



“It’s just pixels they’re not real women why does anyone care?” Good question, why do you care so much? We’ve said multiple times why we do, it’s not our fault you’re not listening.



Annnnnnnnnnnnd that surprisingly and hilariously short list pretty much covers every argument I have seen. Well done little boys in the comments, you made absolutely no points whatsoever and showed everyone how sexist and gross you really are.
