Poll of the Day > If you focus your video game violence on female NPCs...

(+) Yeah! (+)

...do you have a problem?

Id say its a very vivid red flag

---

I think the real problem is you ask this question but not the implications of focusing all of your video game violence on male NPCs. That speaks volumes.

---

Well I have a specific reason for asking.

Attacking girls in Bully instantly gets you targeted by the prefects. Like drop everything, code red shit.

So it's like a taboo or something. The forbidden fruit that makes you curious, despite having the consequences spelled out.

I wonder if that's a tongue-in-cheek reference to gendered stereotypes, or just lazy programming.

Kinda sounds like something separate from gender, then.

I guess it depends on the games you're playing. Like... if you're a huge Skullgirls fan, probably not for obvious reasons.

Focusing VG violence on male NPC's is all but impossible to separate from the background of not deliberately gendering your VG violence, given that so many targets in violent games are male. If one did deliberately choose to target males all the time, that would be more or less an equal red flag (though it may also be a consequence of how frowned upon hurting women is, in which case it's not "I specifically want to hurt men" and instead "I specifically don't want to hurt women"), but good luck actually noticing such a trend.

Its kind of weird. Just noclip the camera into their chest and go back to killing every other digital male in existence like a normal person.

I always found it odd you could sexually assault little girls in that game. Wasnt bully played in front of a court due to how controversial it was? If so I guess they didn't do that during that play.

So violence is ok as long as it is against men? Sounds equally fair for everyone.

No one really complains when men are getting brutally murdered in droves in videogames.
Just saying.

do you want them to? Cause in the real world women are abused an absurd amount. Its difficult to even quantify it.

I'm a woman and I have no problem with killing female NPCs or other people doing so. Hell, if I had a YT channel I'd dedicate weekly vids to Solid Sonic consisting of nothing but murdering female NPCs. Because I care.

Of course not. I just think it's weird that people reacts so strongly when women are getting injured or killed but no one bats an eye when men die or is hurt.

It's ignorant to say only women are getting abused. Men are getting abused too.
It's just that they rarely get any headlines in media except when there's a crime involved.

but focusing the violence on men.. is fine?

Men are overwhelmingly the victims in the majority of violent crimes, what stupid point are you trying to make?

You should be more selective and specifically target the Stacy's. No need to paint all femoids with an overly broad brush, categorizing them efficiently will be one of the first steps in our new society.
