Topic: The sexism of Shovel Knight

[BLOOD MONKEY]

should I write a fanfic about it?

I don't like you because your signature implies that women have skimpy outfits they wear all the timej/k

Oh, well I guess you're really not going to like me after I post this

I already like you 120% more.

But seriously, I don't find this sexist. She's a hot girl inside a fanservice videogame. What the hell one should expect from it?
Also, being a woman doesn't make her unable to fight and whatnot.

I find it funny when some feminists say "I must be able to wear whatever I want without being objectified!" but as soon as someone creates a character that dresses like this "They're slutifying us! OUTRAGE!".

I admit I'm being a little cynical. But still~

Also, levaing this thread now before the firestorm comes...

Wait is there a picture of shovel knight's exposed face?

>character in gorgeously cartoony retro-styled game is female
>character has a generic but pretty face
>character is clad in full armor everywhere but her face
>people vying sexism

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I am 110% done. This is fucking ridiculous. Shield Knight's FACE? Seriously, people? Complaints about Enchantress' dress hugging her legs and hips I could kind of understand (it would still be retarded, though), but a fucking FACE? Idiots must always find something to bitch about. And all this sexism discussion on the boards is starting to get really old, whether the OP instigated the accusation or not (case and point, hero, you were basically just relaying).

One, ZSG, don't take everything Waffle says seriously. He is a master at sarcasm and wry humor.
Two, his sig is a fuckin' drawing. Just because he has a drawing of scantily-clad characters doesn't necessarily mean he endorses any suggestive themes it implies. And I doubt the artist drew them with that in mind. It's not like it's an R34 pic, for Christ's sake, it's fuckin' chibis of game characters. I fail to see how that even remotely justifies you (or anyone) making a judgment call like that.

EDIT: Not that I know of, Guy. The topic's about Shield Knight's face being exposed, not Shovel's.

But yeah,

sooooooooo sexist. :/

[Gunlord]

Easy now, Dracula. Hero wanted discussion, sure, but he was also just joshing around with a friend of his and mine, and I think ZeroSaberGreen was kidding around in his response to Super Waffle too. This isn't a super serious sexisum thread, we're all just having a bit of lighthearted fun, really. Don't take it too seriously

[Dracula9]

Oh. I had no idea this was a joke thread. Whoopsie!

As hot as that is waffle... I think the design for those girls are terrible.

Does this seem feminine to you guys?

So empowering.

If that's how the Sorceress chooses to dress, then who are we to argue. One of the many steps towards empowerment is choosing for yourself. A person's choice wardrobe reflects who they are inside. Just one of the many aspects of humanity. That's not something anyone should judge as we don't have that right. Wear what you want to wear, be what you want to be. The choice is yours. Although many who are sexist or are of the extreme feminist movements will not see it that way. But I feel they are wasting their time fighting for an empty cause. Just like the Nazis did with their so-called "master race" argument.

They are the same person.
