"She tasks me...For the last time!" - Kotal
Here's my opinion on this. I was always in favor of balance. MK9 went to an extreme, but this is going to an extreme as well. And honestly I don't see coherent reason why this is being done. Neither from the Devs, neither from the people who support this change.
Key buzzwords I keep reading is:
- It's realistic!
- It's practical!
- It's badass!
- It's still sexay!
- GO WATCH PORNHUB!!!
The "realism" part.
I've already addressed this pile of garbage before but just to reiterate...There is absolutely nothing realistic about Mortal Kombat. Just to entertain this idea, a "realistic" Mortal Kombat would mean there would be absolutely NO WOMEN in game at all. Have you seen the guys they have to fight? They're like 3 times bigger than them at least. The difference between male and female strength is so immense it's not even funny. Guys are both taller, faster and stronger. Take this from someone who has been powerlifting/building casually for 4 years.
According to this, I've already surpassed the most Elite 120kg woman in strength. Then you watch that video where a scrawny guy who never worked out beats a pro Crossfit woman in armwrestling EASILY. Then you take a look at monsters like Larry Wheels, and I'm suppose to pretend that somehow a skinnyfat 45kg scrawny woman is suppose to beat him up? Insult to intelligence.
The "practical" part.
This is funny because "practical" seems to translate to: "cover all women from head to toe in a robe or a skintight leather". The other day I was pushing a sled, around 200kgs I think. My lazy ass thought it was a good idea not to take off my hoodie, I was also wearing very thick leather pants and shoes. By rep 4 I started to
HYPER-F%CKING-VENTILATE. Why? Because I started to sweat like a pig. If I had the choice of dressing like Baraka in his underwear honestly that's what I'd do. Because it's PRACTICAL. Having a skintight leather suit is anything but practical, unless you're working with extremely heavy loads and trying to LIMIT your motion. They're also wearing high heel shoes, who are they trying to fool here? :lol:
The "badass" part.
I don't find cosplayers badass so I suppose it's a personal preference. Doesn't make it a fact.
The "it's still sexay" part.
Once again, it's basically a bunch of nerds trying to push their own tastes as a tangible fact. Different strokes for different folks, but I don't find find women covered head to toe with extremely average bodies and wonky faces as "sexay".
The "pornhub" part.
Majority of porn is for cuckolds and cuckoldry is not something I'm willing to explore. Besides, we had like 20 years where this never has been an issue, but now suddenly if a woman who isn't wearing a paper bag for a costume it means porn? Sickos.
