Every Game is sexist! Challenge Thread

x_x.

Next: R-type. (and keep in mind that sexual symbols are not sexist)

[mastermx]

R-Type's is a memorizer, this is to alienate female players, because men have larger brains and therefore memorise easier, it was made as an attack of their true inner goddess.

Next: Street Fighter

[KAI]

All the female characters in SF dress like cheap hookers.

Next: Ikaruga

Next: Ikaruga

Ikaruga seems more racist than sexist...

I say, have we wandered into actual sexism here?

Next: Ikaruga

Ikaruga is an allegory of the war between sexes, the black polarity representing the male, the white representing the female. Of course, using white to represent the female is a sexist characteristic - the absence of colour regularly identified as 'pure' or 'virginal'; a stereotypical male appropriation of supposed female virtues. To this end, the association between white being virginal reflects the way that men assume youthfulness is attractive and that a non-virginal woman is somehow of lesser value. Being a game directed by and predominantly created by males, it is unsurprising they couldn't think of any alternative to represent the feminine aspect of the game than a typical man-fantasy about unsoiled vaginas.

Next: Puyopuyo

You're trying to make the "colored" creatures disappear. Also problematic that "interracial" matches aren't allowed.

Next: Team Fortress 2

[Krooze L-Roy]

Opp, wrong "ism." It's early. Let's try this again:

Puyopuyo is clearly an allegory for a woman's biological clock. The pieces fall one at a time at regular intervals, like eggs in the menstruation cycle. Each egg that she fails to find a "match" for is wasted, and eventually eggs will stop falling and all she is left with is bitter memories of wasted potential.

Again: TF2

[Captain]

Scout is obviously transsexual, he was treated horribly throughout his life because of it.

Next: Super Strip fighter 4

[XoPachi]

No men. Oh wait, I forgot you can't be sexist against men.

NEXT! Quake Live

[Captain]

It has a guy in the roster, sorry.

[Lord Satori]

No men. Oh wait, I forgot you can't be sexist against men.

NEXT! Quake Live

Quake is obviously an allegory for an orgasm and represents one-sided sexual relationships.

Next: Touhou (lol)

[Squire Grooktook]

Actually for Quake I would have noted that the final boss is Shub Niggurath, a female fertility goddess. The player is a man who firmly overthrows this symbol of womanhood who has risen beyond her cultural place in society, putting her back in her "place".

She's also a lovecraftian horror but that's not as important.

[Lord Satori]

Dammit, I totally forgot that part! To be fair, though, gender is the last thing you'd think about when talking about a lovecraftian creature.
