Misogyny in Dark Souls

Odradek · 2014-07-04 08:38:29

It is disgusting how DS1's subtle, nuanced treatment of women

Was replaced with Dark Souls 2's wild galloping misogyny

Morven · 2014-07-04 09:06:56

That's some subtle, nuanced cleavage.

And clearly, the dude below is stroking his metaphorical penis, thus misogyny.

Salix Babylonika · 2014-07-04 16:04:37

Lucatiel is a woman.

Sredni Vashtar · 2014-07-04 16:18:49

Exactly! Transmisogyny! It's all so clear now.

Welcome to the world of endless, endless, endless debates about the proper gendering of Dark Sun Gwyndolin.

There is probably more cleavage than that in the average westerner's day-to-day life.

Miko where do you live so I can go there

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2014-07-05 15:05:47

An off-grid Amish village in Pennsylvania.

Odradek · 2014-07-05 15:10:06

Oh Miko, always the libertarian gun nut survivalist.

I like to imagine s/he's inspired by Erichthonius.

Sredni Vashtar · 2014-07-05 18:24:17

That design is seriously rad.

Salix Babylonika · 2014-07-05 18:26:30

Witch Ludmila my ds1 character was in the blue moon covenant for a while but it's weirdly hard to get invasions with the blue-eye orb

probably even moreso nowadays yaknow

Dark Souls had some good design in general

Pinwheel

Executioner Smough

Seath the Scaleless

Gravelord Nito: The First of the Dead

The Gaping Dragon

The Crow Demons of Velka

Obā-san · 2014-07-05 18:38:23

i want to buy like a dark souls art book or something

i don't think i'd enjoy the game because im ultra bad at games but the character art and design is just too amazing

Salix Babylonika · 2014-07-05 18:39:21

Nannez you should just play the game anyway

dark souls is about learnin' how to punch adversity in the face with ya mace

I have.

Bump because after watching lore videos, I can kind of get why people say the game is misogynistic.

I don't think it's completely terrible though, and as with most Souls games, it's hard to know what's intentional.
