Hey asshole. I-no is a classy... Ok she's not classy but I love her
I see your point and I agree.
Not at all, it's the reason it's passable. But we know the reason behind that on meta level and it's herd to ignore, and besides, we also know how "practical" those clothes and hairstyles would be in combat. They do know they are going to fight, to the death even, right?
I agree. To add to the above, at least kinda-futuristic member of Earthrealm military now looks like you would expect one to look.
I already responded to the person who brought that up before.
Your original issue was that the design of the women in mk9 put women off of fighting games, so given that there are women that enjoy them doesn't wash with that. As far as "being designed for men by men," I don't know the makeup of the mk9 team, but id have to ask so what? Women don't seem to be interested in fighting games in general and there are plenty of fighters that don't sexualize the women so I don't think mk9 outfits are the reason.
women can still enjoy the mk9 designs. That's fine. But there's a good deal of women that are put off by the oversexualization. Either way, I don't think the mentality should be "women don't typically play fighting games so who cares?" I think the goal should be to include everyone.
There's the argument that MK already excludes a lot of people simply by its genre (FGs being FGs) and premise (bloody and gory 1 on 1 combat). Suggestion to broaden its TA by being more inclusive to some part of female audience only looks to me worthy of separate topic because there's a big fuss about gender issues in media these days, so it stands out.
Part of my point is that there are fighters where the women aren't sexualized, and they still aren't played by women. Also, why should every game to try to appeal to everyone? That seems like it would be awfully bland and boring. I think its fine if some games want to appeal to everyone and some seek out niche audiences (or even large ones which don't necessarily include everyone).
I don't know what you're arguing for man. My point is that I think it would be awesome if more women played mortal kombat. I wouldn't say women are a niche audience considering they are like.. half of the world's population.
It would be, but it's hard to say if character designs have a lot to do with that.
Confirmed, with some PR from Chaosphere soon half of the FGC will be female.
If only I had that kind of power.
