Plea to devs to address the sexism

You go to a strip club to see almost naked women, people going there are most-likely looking for that.

Yup, and you got to go to ACT3 to see half naked women around, breasts and all.

Are people playing path of exile just for the naked/half-naked bodies in there ? No.

It is hardly an issue to me also, but the OP has a different opinion about it. It won't just be enough to make GGG change it ( maybe it will change in the future, who knows ... ), but still this is no reason for people to react as they did it on this thread.

You completely missed the analogy. The point is, the fact that the thing is seen 100% of the time is irrelevant because its not offensive to the majority of the population.

There have only been 3 people in this thread which have supported this

no, srsly, you didn't get the point at all.
The fact that only a few people were "disturbed" by it is completely irrelevant here, it doesn't matter here, and it has nothing to do with your analogy.

Go check the reddit maybe.

....i've been at this game since first days of open beta.. i never noticed the girls until you mentioned them o_0

My gf was like: Cool, I would like to have a shirt with those 2 women on there.



So....*shrug*

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?

They're biceps dude.

I care little for extremist groups that have narrow minded zealotus ideology.

I already read the thread, it is a joke, because if you used their critera on games, then the clear majority of all games would need to be "remade"

we're all going to be very sorry when the feminazis take over and force all of us men (except Fruz) into reeducation camps...

The fact is, it seems that people having a different opinion on the subject cannot request things without all that misogyny/hate coming out from a part of the community, what an open mind people have here. gj.

I'm tired of people avoiding half of an argument on purpose, this is beyond pointless anyway.
I'm out of here, have fun.

So is Ellen's challenge at the end of this video sexist, or would it only be sexist if the genders were reversed?

Why is it only sexist when women are portrayed in certain naked / sleazy ways, but not a single person bats an eyelid when the same thing happens with men?

Feminazism and misandry is why.

It's not perceived as sexist because everyone assumes that the men are comfortable in their own sexuality and are not being misused or taken advantage of, etc...
Whereas, for some reason, people like to promote the idea that women can't do those things, and a woman who is in a situation like that is obviously not being respected.

But you're right; in actuality, it's no different from using women in the same way. It's just about how people perceive it.

----------------------------------------------------
PS: Note that the women in the globes are also obviously not being respected. I would use the option to change them to something else if it existed - maybe a similarly or even less-clad miscreation in a similar pose. At least then it would be obvious that they were related to the PoE World and not just random fan-service.
