Yet another Steam thread demonizing LL and sexual mods in general.

opinions assholes etc

It's natural for a guy to rather play as a female for various reasons. 

 

That's not true. Your in game character represents you. If you are a guy, why would you want to portrait yourself as a female? 

 

 

Self insertion is the worst form of role playing, tbh.

 

 

The role you are playing and how you look are two completely different things. Besides, who said that in the game you have to look the same way you do in the real life?

Again, you play a murder hobo in most RPGs. You may not look like one, but it's what you do. You start with nothing - no home, no job, no money, no family. The only things that are yours are the ones you currently wear, most of the time some rags and a rusty dagger or something and those are probably stolen as well. From there you start murdering and stealing your way to success and riches. If you want to live out your power fantasy and become the cool dude you can't be in real life, be my guest, I won't judge you. But bear in mind that you aren't better than the player that likes to stare at virtual butts.

The players who always play as females are doing the same thing, how its any different for them?

What exactly am I doing the same all the time? I'm curious to know because right now I'm playing RAGE and it's playing as a male character only. Thank goodness I don't have to stare at his ass.

They are more than one actually

Or a better reason why NOT to upload to Steam Workshop. These are mostly 15-year-olds and SJWs who get magnetized by RAEG PRON.

[Sai_hira]

*Blinks* This is still going? I mean it's not like theres any disagreement right? Or are simply posting here to vent?

[Kendo 2]

At this point it serves no purpose.  I tried to find the orginal thread on Steam that started this and it has been deleted.

[the_mess]

Because it was reported multiple times xD I reported it too.

Do you actually know what SJW stands for? Those don't look like overly passionate social justice activists, they look like kids trying to be edgy.

"Ignore comments from #1- #159"

 

is that how long it took for someone to comment in support of the op's cause? i didn't read past #3.

[Groovtama]

 

If you watch that video and think of LL as Dicks, Nexus as Pussies and any Skyrim should be E for Everyone community as Assholes, the message fits pretty good.^^

Geekfeminism is a feminist wiki community with almost no guidelines or regulations regarding acceptable content. Whilst hosted content varies in extremity and is not universally sexist, the popularity and widespread nature of that which is extreme, largely defines the unique character and key attraction of this particular community.

 

Much content theories male supremacy and rape culture, whilst popular extreme content covers situations such as, but not limited to; violent rape and sexual assault; forced pregnancy; bestiality; sexual slavery and forced prostitution. More moderate content concerns; 'consensual' prostitution; hypersexualization of female characters, including forced 'nymphomania' and universal provocative clothing; and degrading and humiliating dialogue. Whilst most such content focuses on the female as a victim, the small number that depicts all males as violent rapist are particularly concerning.

 

 

Analysis

The extreme and abhorrent nature of the popular available content is both indisputable and blatantly apparent to any observer, including the community's own membership. Extreme internal views shamelessly defend such content by attempting to justify hate speech and paranoia. More moderate members cite common 'splaining' arguments, combined with black and white interpretations of censorship and freedom of expression, to defend the extreme content. This ignores the fact that such content is not merely available, but both popular and celebrated. Rather than defend its existence, such members should ask themselves why they choose to access it, and whether the possibility exists that it is negatively influencing both their own social outlook, ability, and human perception; and/or that of their community peers.

 

The issue is not censorship but acceptability and effect. The extreme content would not be tolerated by any other community (tumblr being the exception), or by the mainstream media of any country. The existence and accepting attitude in this community encourages further creation of such material, aiding moral validation in the minds of the membership. Users are likely incapable of distinguishing fantasy from reality, supporting such events therein. However, as is concluded in the paragraph above, this is not the issue. The issue is community acceptability, moral validation and subconscious influence.

 

Those who find the community's content upsetting; inarguably the majority of society across all genders; are not, as their defenders frequently argue, required to access it. Though inevitably such persons will encounter and be offended by the community, or by knowledge of its existence, this is again not the issue. Moderate members may not view themselves as sexist, but should ask why it is that both feminists and greater society disagree on the community's claims. They should ask themselves if not that the content's existence is justified, then that of the community and its attitude. The key issue is that Geekfeminism is a community. Thus, social validation and respect of peers is important and influential. This social atmosphere is far more extreme than that of society at large, and can not serve to improve the circumstances or condition of anyone. It can only have a decremental impact.

 

 

 

Conclusion

Geekfeminism furthers the belief of rape culture, misogyny, sexist attitudes and gender inequality. While it is the case that its direct influence is contained to a small number of individuals, and its content not universally sexist and extreme, it is a definite part of the problem that can only harm greater societal progress, as well as individual member's own social competence, respect, desirability and human perception.
