[QUOTE="Lwaxy, post: 5947680, member: 53286"] And thus you reinforce the objectifying of women in RPGs, which is a big big nono in the community! No, gamer women don't want to be portrayed as "gorgeous" because THAR is a stupid, outdated, sexist stereotype we are slowly getting out of the RPG art, and something that turns a lot of females off video games, too. Women want to be portrayed as they are, and it happens that most of us arent your definition of "gorgeous." We are normal women - and there more glasses wearing, short, fat, flat breasted, split haired, make up ignoring not model type women out there than those who could pass as a model. As a woman I find what you are doing very offensive and detrimental. I'd tell you to please stop this but you are clearly out for money so that wouldn't matter. Hate to break it to you, but the stereotype you are enforcing is a lot worse. Women have to look pretty and slim and wear nice clothes and look "gorgeous" for what - the males, of course. Because no one needs to dress up to game, especially not for an RPG. The women and girls at my gaming table usually wear the most comfortable things, no make up, and not a one of them is close to your fake ideal for women. And all of them would love to come pay your event commercializing of what you think a female gamer should be a visit and protest. In a time where women still fight to be seen as persons instead of sex objects, you come along and try to pass it off as a positive thing for women?? Dream on. And this is the most silly thing I have EVER heard. If I go out on a non gaming event, like a club or a party, why in the world would this have anything to do with being a gamer? Nothing AT ALL. It has nothing to do with hiding either, I'm just not into shoving my hobbies down everyone's throat. And the very last thing the world needs is pretending, like you do, that gamers can't do the things you cite already. Because, we do. Young, old, fat, slim, male, female - we do whatever we like doing. Thank you very much. As a fat, middle aged, disabled woman, your event is sickening because it says "hey, this is how female gamers should look, all "gorgeous." For what? It's about the games, not about looks. [/QUOTE]
