[QUOTE="Consonant Dude, post: 5949782, member: 6688791"] If this Lara Croft trailer really has problems for some people, I can safely say there is no way to avoid issues in RPGs, which are often adventure and action-oriented. We've been watching the video here a few times and everybody's saying it rocks! I'm being asked what kind of system we could use to play a Tomb Raider-style campaign. I wanted to avoid posting anymore on the issue but this is extremely disappointing. More and more, this isn't even about sexism. Like, at all. It's about personal perception and preferences. And diatribes about how we live in an unfair world for women, so as a result, Lara Croft shouldn't take a beating like any worthy adventurer should! I'm all for making sure we live in a better world. Improving laws, raising awareness in society, art, etc... those are separate issues and they are worthy causes. I'm also all for appropriate games with appropriate art. Banishing exploitative and blatantly distasteful trends in style, art and editorial content of RPGs. Fighting against type. Offering more choice, empowering people. But I'm seeing cases that are far from black and white being brought up as issues. And in the case of this Lara Croft trailer, something that boggles the mind. That's sexism? That's a social issue? That's a women issue? NO. It isn't. It's about your personal preference. Don't like a resilient female protagonist facing adversity in an exciting adventure? Tough luck, move on! I'd run this kind of setting any day. My female players would love it. I refuse to even entertain the notion that we're part of some insidious trend to subjugate the female gender as a result.
