This is actually what makes me so surprised at the outright hate some people are giving to the new Tomb Raider reset. As soon as they suggested the Lara wasn’t born as the indestructible back-flipping tiger killing monster that she’s portrayed as in the previous games, and that she might just be weak enough for a violent much larger guy (I’m assuming soldier from a drug cartel or something since he doesn’t seem to be an island savage) to potentially rape her, the internet suddenly went “What the fuck are you doing!” and did a 180 on opinion of the game.

The reality is though, that 99.9% of females graduating college probably would be in the exact same situation they’re putting her in, if they even managed to overcome being stabbed in the abdomen by a metal spike. While yes, it’s twisted and fucked up that rape is a possibility, I find it more realistic, and more “empowering” that she manages to escape, overcome her current helplessness, and END UP strong than than to be born as a tank and never encounter the issues that an actual women might encounter in the face of such an unfair and vicious scenario.

It’s an unfortunate and unfair standard that everyone in games needs to be super soldiers these days or suddenly it’s a political gender issue. Some people are weak with the potential to be strong, and some people just break under pressure. If you’re aiming for a game more grounded in reality those archetypes should be present occasionally.

    These ratings should be dismissed by their ridiculous “moral convictions”. Someone who cannot separate their stupid “morality” when their suppose to be reviewing a product needs to go back to church, and stay at church. We’re only interested in what the game offers us, not a side-stepping of moral douche-bragger from naggers. Screw your preaching!

    Men need to shut-up and stop telling us females what we can, and cannot wear. If a female decides what she wants to wear on HER body guess what? That’s her business! And a video-game character? Oh please some of these guys need to be kicked in their stupid balls really. We’ll play the games we want, and the characters we want. So kiss our assets.

    I work at a hospital in EVS (aka janitor of sorts) and all last month and this month, I remember seeing three little White girls wearing SHORT ASS shorts. It was kinda making me say “no… No… NO!!!” to my devil on my shoulder. Still say fucked up. And then you have older teenagers who got tramp stamps and showing cleavage and shit. You can’t tell how old anybody is, and yet, some still (today) believe the “Don’t ask women their ages”. Okay, older women I go. Got me feeling guilty all the …

    Yeh, feminist. When applied logic enters the picture, sexually shaming a person is the only way a ‘true’ feminist can retaliate…sad.
