Not a fan of gender-prejudiced characters, myself.

I liked her as a fun counterbalance to the hypermasculine sexist bald general, and their rivalry made for a good story.

Didn't know rest of reddit was leaking into SRS subs

Sorry, I was under the impression SRS was cool with feminists.

your comment just reads like concern trolling

[–]2Weird2Live2Rare2Die 2 ポイント3 ポイント

Well... it wasn't? Someone shared their opinion that they like a character strictly for a gender-prejudiced statement she made. I replied that I dislike the character based upon the same sample. How is that trolling? Is it really out of line to diagnose "everyone of that gender is stupid" as a statement of prejudice?

I did that as a joke, we do that a lot in here to mock misandry. Thing is:

-She's a character in a light hearted game.

-Her "misandry" is not only played for laughs(usually the "straw misandrist" you see in other games is used as a joke and nothing more, while in this game she has as much depth as the other characters, more so than some, even though many of her comments are meant to be funny).

-Reddit really likes "funny" mysogyny but make a "misandric" joke and suddenly it's the worst thing ever.

-I'm a male and I'm ok with it lol.

Yeah, someone else just explained the context of how things are around here that I missed. I'm still not sure I'm 100% cool with the joking about it, but I see that it's much more well-intentioned than I'd originally thought on first 'whoosh'. Thanks for the clarification. :)

so you're gonna have to understand the context of the SRS fempire; in response to the incredibly overwhelming misogyny of reddit the fempire has a tongue in cheek obsession with misandry because of the MRAs who love to complain about it. We also similarly demean free speech even though we're (sshhhh, ever so secretly) fond of it.

The idea is that it's just a meme that is prevalent throughout the fempire (a similar inversion), and so basically any anti-male gender bias is going to be recognized as a meme among us.

This does not mean that we endorse gender based discrimination; the jokes we make are simplistic and could easily venture into hurtful territory if someone took it too far or with the wrong person. But the mods exist to rectify those situations when they feel they arise. In this case though the gender discrimination is an inversion of traditional problematic viewpoints.

Ohh, okay. Yeah, I'm still pretty new to these reaches. Mostly I'm a TrollXer, and every once in a while in TrollX/TrollY we get people who'd say something like this in earnest thinking everyone will be on board with their horseshit, so I reacted on the assumption that this was a similar case. Thanks for clearing it up for me without being mean or dismissive, and apologies for whooshing on the context/joke. :)
