For instance.. the valkyrie says "I have ways of blowing things.. up" and also "you're being very naughty." The medic and kerrigan also say some similar type things that make them into sexual play things. This really isn't a surprise though considering the market. Male gamers outnumber females ones 10 to 1, so there's bound to be some fanservice for the guys. Blizzard obviously knows this and makes all their female units sexy and extra-bangable to capitalize on all the horny single gamers. | ||

Everyone saying "this is retarded" and nothing more, should perhaps use their assumed brain capacity just a tiny bit more | ||

There is a clear sense of male and female difference in the unit speeches that caters to the male audience when you click on the units.

They are technically the stereotypical army sass-mouthers, who aren't afraid to say what they want. Many of these women arrived as prisoners too, don't forget. | ||

She analyzed further that Zerg gameplay is like the development of an orgasm. Damn pre-mature 5-pools. EDIT: Zerg isn't feminate, ever look at an evo chamber closely? | ||

Makes me remember some of those ums games like "duke has sex with kerrigan" and all those strip the xxx. Not saying these maps have anything to do with Blizzard directly, more with the consumers, but these types of games appearing are definitely nurtured by the male dominated mindset, which has been facilitated by Blizzard. | ||

And yes, the game in itself (game of war+RTS) was targetting primarly a male audience, twhy did they choose to release a strategical game of war is a more interisting question though... Article is complete shit btw, the Sigmund Freud theory which basically interprets every hole as a symbolic vagina and every proeminent thing as a phallus has been debunked decennies ago by the modern psychologists. I'm pretty sure it isn't a troll, probably not everything was meant to be taken litteraly though, but a lot is imo pretentious and sincere non-sensical garbage. | ||

Now we have to remember though where we live and how everything connects up. Any other product or game out there is doing just the same thing. In a sense we should change the world and what people strive towards to fix this. Just look at WoW female models. they are quite as far-removed from reality as you can get but hardly noone questions them. Dunno, sex sells. go with it. I for one sure dont mind seeing barely clothed girls in my vidya. | ||

Still, this article made me laugh. I'm going to start calling Nydus Canals "Vaginal Canals." Oh, and whenever someone 4/5 pools, it's going to be an "Orgasm rush." | ||
