I like this post, it's a great topic for debate Sub, but I think some people might take it a little too far.

I've no love on how Subzero and All4 approached Ghraf's response.

Newsflash!

There are actually games like that. We have RapeLay, Custer's Revenge, etcetc... Butbutbut, does it really contribute to the amount of rape? The amount of fascism? The amount of racism? The amount of violence?

And get this : Do more people play Super Mario or does more people play RapeLay?

So we'll see where i am in a few months, after i enjoy Smite for a while and Hi-Rez keeps releasing new content. By then we'll see if i turn into a misogynistic and sexist piece of ****.

THANK YOU!

Although, personally, i think Awilix's breast physics is a little gratuitous.

Cmon Ferrum, it's essentially

Here, let me tell you what's wrong with Smite, and if you don't agree with me, well, **** you.

Or, to put it like this:

What a waste of time. Sub who the hell are you talking to? It's an informative post, but I don't really think anybody cares. Not to mention, I think you won't find a single person on this forum who thinks Hi-Rez hates women.

Thanks to Ferrum for making the sig pic! He's beast af people.

I don't really understand why people need to argue this so much. There is a ridiculous lack of diversity in female character design. Just go into the game and compare the male and female characters. The male characters can be fat, skinny, muscular, or some crazy monster (like Fenrir or Kuku). What do we get with female gods? Perfect body, tiny waist and big tits.

Well to be honest I can't think of a woman in a video game that's playable that is fat or otherwise ill of body unless they are monstrous or intended to be hated/joked about. Weird.

I'm certain there are examples, and many of them, but the fact that it's hard to think of immediately, and that the obvious percentage is low, means there's a certain amount of truth to your statement no matter how many examples people list.
