Do you think Kitana and Mileena would make the cut?

lol... BBBLP just said it in a blunt summarized way of how I pretty much feel about MK. But that really boils down to.. it's fiction bro lol. A work of fiction catered to a specific group of people.

I like female lead characters, but I rarely get those. But I let people have fun with their games. I don't get all upset because the 60th game in a row has a male lead.
 
Just call it quits, GloriousDK. lol It's not worth it. Some people are going to care, some aren't. Can we all just agree on one thing? Mileena's design sucked and she was handled poorly in MK9.

If you don't want to agree.... Oh well.

And when did trannies come into play? lol I'm all for diverse characters but come on.... Lets work on getting a decent representation of women before we dive into the tranny pit.
 
ERMAHGERD CHECK YOUR CIS PRIVILEGE, MATT!

Dk was the one that brought up trannies.

I'm glad this tumblr shit is over. This was just as bad as the shit over there (I've only been there to spam the tags, though).

But seriously, I think Mileena has a lot of potential in the MKX story. Could she take over Shao Kahn's place? Or something else... hmm. I know in that MKX 'leak' it said there was no sign of Kitana or Mileena, but I do hope Mileena is in the game, despite the rumours.

I want to see her look really creepy. She's the perfect character for that.

My original post. Was that a near naked woman, is just a near naked woman. It' becomes sexually objectified once I start getting aroused by "just the almost naked aspect". If I'm attracted to the character for other reasons then it becomes more than just sexual objectification. I'm attracted to the character.

This has no relevance to me in MK. I was just telling Araknyd to notice sexual objectification you have to objectify it yourself to see it as such. It's pretty clear NRS was trying to use sex appeal to draw some people in. aka objectifying Mileena.

Otherwise you just see a person in TP.


I could use an analogy. If I see a naked alien. and it's just standing there. most people wouldn't see that as sexual objectification. Even if it did a pose, I wouldn't see it as sexual objectification. It becomes that way when people start becoming attracted to said aliens. otherwise it's just an alien doing a pose.

Yet Mileena rubs her breasts and moans in sexual pleasure when she does a Fatality.
I could see more validity to your argument if it was JUST the TP, but moaning and touching herself makes her objectified by NRS.
Even though something would have to be perceived as sexual to be objectified, acting in a heavily implied sexual manner makes that character objectified by the creator.

My argument would be if NRS just randomly threw a gay man in there just so the other demographic that is not into it is pleased, I find that completely stupid and unnecessary.

I'd be 100% fine with a NEW character being the one to pander over the bullshit of lets make _____________________ established character gay, or male, or female, or black, or transgendered, just for the sake of it, as DC and Marvel have done in comics with established characters and movies (go look up the new Fantastic Four movie or the recent Thor gender swap), just to pander.

But why does it even need to be done at all :|! What relevance does it have on the actual premise!? People should not be felt pressured to add subtle characteristics when it has nothing to do with the main idea, just so a certain demographic is happy. Your target demographic is your target demographic.

I agree 100% with you.

I'm just stating that if it's done, I'd rather it NOT be done to an existing character.
That's MORE upsetting, to me.
That's all.

Sorry Jorge if I sounded like I was arguing against your point, I wasn't, I'm just really touchy on this subject, hence the passionate reply haha.

But yeah, that is better, I agree, but the best course of action is if it's not done at all.
