The funny part about all this is that it won't even affect developers that much. They are busy, you know, coding and making assets instead of trolling twitter or sending death threats. If anything maybe they may do a double take in the creative department when someone wants to put leather tights on a female character: "Uhm, maybe they should be a bit looser?" So insignificant.
It is the same in movies. Name a movie where the lead female is a frumpy, ugly, unsexual women? Yeah, it isn't a movie that people actually saw.

And then, the marketing department responds with "no, they stay tight because we want to, you know, sell copies."
The problem with crying about the tropes of sexualized women in games is that these women exist and push themselves to the spotlight in real life. Do you think someone crafted Kim Kardashian's image like that? No, she did it herself. How about female artists in the music industry? You think they are forced into that image? Unlikely.

Huh. I had no idea that she was in movies. It looks like I've only seen 1 of them. I'll try to keep it that way, having seen her in King of Queens.Everything that that cow Melissa McCarthy stars in. She's not funny, she's frumpy, ugly and unsexual. She hits big with similar women.

On the topic itself.. this whole thing reminds me how little of a pond gaming and comics are. There are a lot more of these... feminists pointing out misogyny (I'm really struggling to title wtf this whole thing is without it coming across as an insult. I don't intend it to be an insult, people are allowed to think and voice that thought no matter how stupid I may think it is) on movies, music and TVs. The difference is no one outside of those looking for it really cares.
I think she's hilarious in Mike and Molly, but yeah, her movies are awful. I think she was also great in Samantha Who. As far as being "frumpy, ugly and unsexual", I disagree; she's simply very fat. If one likes fat, I'd think one would find her attractive enough.Everything that that cow Melissa McCarthy stars in. She's not funny, she's frumpy, ugly and unsexual. She hits big with similar women.

There are some real freaks out there.
Strangely interesting that all these "attacks" all follow the same script. I'm just not sure who's following it. The alleged attackers or the alleged victims..
There's no shortage of fucksticks on the internet that would do this kind of thing. I don't know why these victims feel the need to rebroadcast it. It just encourages future harassers more and provides them with gratification. I guess pushing the misogyny narrative is worth it tho.
I'd think its more likely these are dumb teen boys, the same ones that swat people. Still would be creepy to get that kind of stuff on your twitter out of the blue. I think that lady is married with a child, so I doubt she's got too much time to set up a hoax. I've heard stranger things though.
I don't really understand your point. No one should make crimes public? There goes the news.

It's a victimless crime. It only has power because it's been re-broadcast.
My point is that if you believe it is a credible threat you should report it to law enforcement and not rebroadcast the threats to thousands of people verbatim, including the harassers name, and stating that your so scared you had to go seek refuge someplace safe. Congratulations, you just gave the harasser a platform for attention far larger than what he had, provided him with the gratification of knowing his threats are read by thousands, and provided him with the gratification of knowing he caused you to fear for your safety. If you don't believe it is a credible threat, then rebroadcasting it is simply feeding the trolls.
Who the heck is brianna wu?
