I am not speaking for the masses of women. I am speaking about empowerment.
Women (and men for that matter) should be free to wear what they want.
Is a male Kul Tiran in the fairy costume going to look odd to me? certainly but I will defend that persons right to dress that character in that way.
This push to sanitize skimpy mogs strikes me as very puritanical. We live in the free world not under the Taliban where all women must be covered up.
People are more inclined to take anything you say seriously if you can convey the thought without using what has become a buzzword.
Despite while I may agree with you, you should just leave it on âPeople should be allowed to wear what they wantâ without having to try and frame this as a thing of empowerment. Especially depending on the women youâll ask being able to scantily dress yourself and their thoughts you can get wildly differing answers. To some it is empowering, however to others theyâll complain about it being dehumanizing to women because they get reduced to sex objects for male attention by dressing like that.
It might blow your mind, but a lot of the people pushing this notion arenât the religious right anymore like they were 30 years ago. Now itâs third wave feminism going on about how everything is sexualizing women and therefore things shouldnât be skimpy because it apparently indoctrinates young men/boys into seeing women as sex objects meant to wear as little clothing as possible.
IDK Iâm still lost on how they made the leap from: âWomen being relegated to cover themselves is a symptom of muh Patriarchyâ to âWomen being allowed to wear what they want only benefits the Patriarchy!â
I know right? When I was a kid I would hear stories about how women were burning their bras in the name of Freedom.
I chalk it up to self preservation of the movement to be honest. Youâll notice that, usually when movements historically achieve their goals, they usually are making excuses on how theyâre not actually achieved and they need to work on more things.
Same case with like environmental groups. Theyâll preach how they want to save the environment, but they wonât actually do anything about it because you canât save an environment after you save it. So they ignore problems and say âNah this still exists, you still need us.â Hell, lesser known fact of American history is the FBI was originally solely meant to crack down on speakeasies during our prohibition era. After we decided prohibition was a bad move the FBI was supposed to go away. Instead they managed to engrain themselves within our government enough that they couldnât be downsized so they still exist today with a constant string of excuses on why they are still relevant. âOh, speakeasies, oh drugs, oh terrorism, oh bigotry.â
Feminism kind of the same, like men and women have equal rights in society, lawfully you canât discriminate based on gender though you can certainly circumvent this by having a more logical reason made up. I.E Insurance companies can charge men much more than women because âStatistically youâre more likely to get into a wreck because of your demographic.â or the Duluth Model with domestic violence where they just fall on men are primarily aggressors so just assume heâs the aggressor and haul him off even if heâs clearly the victim. What really do you achieve now?
I guess complaining about video games because activists desperately feel they need a cause to fight for if theyâre going to live, meanwhile people directing the activism really donât want to do a job with effort. Itâs easier to pay yourself through manipulating activists without lifting a finger, especially if your movement gets large traction and you can charge hefty speaking fees for a college campus.
To be fair you get the same thing with racial groups too. On one end âcontent of character, not color of skinâ then on the other end itâs apparently bigoted to not notice their race and treat them differently for it. Like what is it, am I supposed to see a guy that happens to be black or am I supposed to see a black guy?
Well, Iâm a woman who has been a victim of sexual harassment and assault in my past and I say that skimpy mogs should not have anything to do with the lawsuit. Some of us women see some of our characters in a way that the mogs work as well. And want some more looks, and some looks updated.
If someone looks at a skimpy mog and thinks sexual harassment or sexual assault, thatâs a problem with them. Not the mogs.
This isnât true. They just added the kyrian korthia mog this patch. Shows off the legs really nice.
Yes and the standard for this game is Teen and up not Romper Room. Not like anyone is asking to run arround completely naked with nips showing. We leave that to the Jailer
Skimpy mogs to show off war paint and tattoos, otherwise what was the point to have warpaint and tattoos if they are covered.
âI actually hid, and changed, much of my Toonâs mogs, as soon as those tattoos came out. Just HAD to show them off.â
/grin
I doubt they will get rid of anything but I suppose it might effect what they make in the future.
Personally I can enjoy all sorts of mogs but I would hate for any one type to go away.
I have characters that range from
â this one
to this one
for how covered up they are.
Freedom of choice and all that.
well to be fair, have you read about the 2 life gaudes and the 3 EMTS who got sued for doing there job? the 2 life gaurdes got sued for saving 2 people from drowning from the pool and lake bc the person said they didnt give permission to be saved or have CPR done and they won there caseâŚand the emts got sued for giving CPR saving 2 peoples lifes and they also sued saying they didnt give permission to be saved or touched that way and they won there caseâŚand this is why some people dont like or want to help anyone anymore when they see someone in danger or trouble bc they fear they will sue them.
You really canât blame them to be honest. It sounds ridiculous on its surface level I know but it is an honest thing. Thereâs an increasing amount of things that are considered improper or aggressive beyond the normal things weâd agree on. Weâre talking in a day and age where you can withdraw consent to sex AFTER the engagement for any number of reasons and it actually be considered sexual assault and not âSo you made a mistake, live with it.â Keep in mind this pertains to an event where consent was given and agreed upon, then withdrawn AFTER the fact.
Yep, and I donât think a lot of people know this but CPR statistically carries about a 30% chance of either breaking a rib or causing some form of damage. People will seize on that the second they know they can which is why a lot of people are getting upset that medical workers started demanding explicit confirmation to save lives. Or you get cases like CHAZ where paramedics wonât enter the autonomous zone while people are bleeding out because the âcitizensâ refused to allow in police officers to protect the medics. Therefore the medics feared for their own safety (as they should, if it comes to your life vs a medicâs, the medicâs training explicitly tells them to prioritize themselves because they can live to help other people) and these people bled to death.
Itâs also why when someone falls at work people donât even try to help them unless they specifically ask for it. If someone falls and I just try to help them up instinctively and they either go limp and fall down hitting their head, or they move wrong and somehow pull something I become liable for the damage. I completely lose that liability if I can supply something that shows they asked for help. Obviously this isnât grounds to be reckless in helping them, but it shields me from getting sued and punished by a company because my coworker fell then âdidnât feel goodâ after being helped.
Seen it before at gas stations too when I was 18. Coworker misses a step, almost falls on her face. Grabbed her wrist very quickly to prevent her from eating the tiles. Then Iâm getting my manager screaming at me wondering why Iâm injuring coworkers because I guess when I grabbed her wrist to help her stabilize it jerked her shoulder and she was crying it was mildly sore. Shouldâve let that clumsy moron smash her face on the floor in hindsight, but then Iâd be yelled at for not doing anything.
Of course a lot of women loves skimpy outfits you donât have to look any further than the annual Halloween sitâs Halloween celebration where everyone wants to be a sexy nurse or something. And just look at how so many women dress going out in public with everything hanging out and showing⌠Skimpy mogs and warcraft is just an emulation of the real world and thereâs nothing wrong with it⌠I think itâs pretty pathetic that people want to try and hide the female body in a video game because they are insecure about their own real life problems
Hi, I am self proclaimed internet justice warrior over 400 LBS curvy independent woman. It doesnt fits me so I will cry about it so other better looking girls canât wear it!
we probably will not see any more skimpy mogs because of the scandal.
If they do they would also have to change a lot of the wow art and loading screens. The cinematics with the female night elf etc.
ya anytime i see someone fall im like fake, insurance scam
I approve of your transmogs.
Thank You
