Plea to devs to address the sexism
|
Honestly, this thread from reddit today says it all http://www.reddit.com/r/GirlGamers/comments/1q6ry3/have_any_of_you_ladies_ever_been_excited_to_play/?sort=top
The topic is basically "games that were very exciting, but so off-putting from the sexism that you had to stop." POE is the most upvoted. To add my own 2 cents, I really like POE, and I'd love to play it with my wife. She's tried, but being FORCED to look at 2 sexualized slave girls chained to her health and mana bar makes her feel uncomfortable. I can't blame her. Is this necessary? Could there not be an option for an alternate UI for people who are uncomfortable with the girls? It would be a very small thing, and it would be a clear message from the devs saying "Yes women, we care about you too, and want your business." I shudder to think of the money we've spent on LoL, so I sincerely doubt it would be any different for PoE. It is obvious from this thread my wife and I are not the exception. Why say no to more people wanting to spend money on this game? Kind words are really not enough at this point. "We don't mean any offense, this is just style, it's OK" will not bring women and couples back. Only action, and obvious action specifically aimed at rectifying some of the wrongs, will even have a chance at bringing people like us back to this game. Последняя редакция: Bex_GGG#0000.

If you are so thin-skinned that you cannot stand to see busts of women adorning a HP/Mana bar, you probably shouldn't be on the internet.
Edit: Since this dude is trying to use his "Money spent in other games" as buying power, make an alternate UI that he can buy for cash to change it. Then he'll make a thread about that too. This obvious exploitation of women has to stop or his League of Legends money will never find its way here. Последняя редакция: Maulth#7228. Время: 8 нояб. 2013 г., 22:43:58

i dont think that having 2 drawings of women around the mana and health globes is sexism. how about having 2 muscular dudes with boners instead?

" BECAUSE GGG ARE MEN AND MEN LIKE WOMEN they do not believe girls play games. And they don't GIRL STANDS FOR: guy in real life The rest of the 'end-game' content will be available along with a heap of new stuff when the game launches in a few months time. From what I've seen it's going to be awesome. - Michael_GGG

I'm not trying to be an ass but seriously. Grow some thick skin. It's a mature game and y'all are mature adults.

" I love sexualisted men. Make it really nice to organize and decide what type of thing you want to be offended about. |
