"female" always sounds slimy to me. There's just something about the word

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

I think that might be the reason tbh

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 41 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Female, pronounced "feeeeeeeeeeeemale" is a dead giveaway you're dealing with a reactionary G*mer chud nerd

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 31 points 1 month ago

Which sucks because now I don't wanna use it when grammar demands. Oddly enough they seem to not want to use it when grammar demands either.

[-] ashinadash@hexbear.net 27 points 1 month ago

The trick is to use it as an adjective every time instead of as a noun. Nounification makes shit weird.

Yeah, like why you callin' them "females" bud? Wanna be reminded of "males" when you talk about 'em?

The accepted ways for heterosexual men to refer to the opposite sex are: Chicks, babes, birds, broads, dames, girls/gals, lassies/lasses, señora, maidens, and Sheilas*

Edit:

*Only if you're Australian, otherwise it's appropriation

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

I suppose women is out of the picture too?

[-] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

Same problem as "females." You drop two letters and all you got is "men."

Sounds pretty gay to me ngl

[-] magi@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

"It's only gay if the balls touch sweaty"

Women is something they'd never say it's always females..

[-] StalinStan@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

I like that we went for thr same bit instinctively

[-] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

Ah dang it, I forgot 'birds'

[-] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

Often, they're not attracted to women, they're attracted to girls

[-] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

It’s used as an adjective here, not a noun. This is how people describe things even before the trend of documentarizing women in the past few years

Legitimately, how else would you say this? "Woman characters" clearly sounds wrong, "characters who are women" sounds unnecessarily long and clunky.

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago

I'd just say "women". characters is redundant when you specify it's in a game.

[-] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

But that doesn’t make it wrong or misogynistic lol

Broads, dames, birds, etc. Just anything a film noir detective would say

[-] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

As a woman, my identity is tied up in how i am different from men, this is normal

lol

G*mers continue to be absolutely incoherent about everything. The only time their neurons fire in unison to form a thought is when they see a woman who's realistically portrayed and the thought is something Hitler would say.

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 35 points 1 month ago
[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago

I think even Hitler would be like hey buddy cool it with the racism when it comes to G*mers and general american reactionaries.

[-] StalinStan@hexbear.net 38 points 1 month ago

It is wild how much ostensibly straight cis men hate women. Like, "unless a woman is so unnaturally hot she overwhelms my limbic system I don't want to look at her" it's fine bro, you just don't like women that much and feel weird about it. Since horny specifically counteracts disgust in most brains the implication is that the men in question are at least mildly disgusted by women.

If these are the girls they're not attracted to I just don't understand what they want

edit: I just noticed the DEI mention. Huhh???

[-] magi@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI)

Sounds like a right wing dogwhistle to me when framed like that but then it's critical drinker so not surprised. He mingles with "centrists" don't you know smuglord

[-] StalinStan@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago

Two white people. Obvious DEI

[-] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 month ago

Mans, but they are too afraid to admit.

[-] Outdoor_Catgirl@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

Stop blaming what straights do on queer people

[-] Darth_Reagan@hexbear.net 25 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

They're going for totally different things. Resident Evil is horror camp with hotties. Leon is firing off cheesy one liners from the get go in 4. Different types of media are allowed to exist.

[-] Dessa@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

RE4 is also over a decade old.

[-] Darth_Reagan@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

The remake isn't though

[-] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago

Someone should reply with the same meme format but put pictures of anti-woke streamers/influencers up top and then Hasan and some other attractive lefty streamer on the bottom

[-] Ocommie63@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 1 month ago
[-] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

and only because hakim won't show his face

[-] Ocommie63@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 1 month ago

Yes, true, Hakim is the hottest member of that podcast, I can tell without seeing his face

[-] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

it's just simple math

[-] pinguinu@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 1 month ago

Bruh they conveniently forget about SH2

[-] magi@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

Oh yes the ever moving goalposts from the freeze-gamer

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

The top ones look like humans

The bottom two look like dolls for little girls

[-] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

I mean the left character, Ashley, is literally just a real person mocapped lol

One of the few things to like about TLOU2 is the still somewhat rare depiction of a woman who is jacked af. The game is still dogshit but :>

[-] radiofreeval@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

Hey the rope physics are exceptional

[-] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

I-was-saying covering her big, goofy ears was bad
