Maxim Features Girls of Dragon Age While Simultaneously Insulting Gamers

Not too shocking considering Maxim relies on objectifying women and appealing to the "douche" demographic.

 

I'm surprised any magazine would stomp on gamers toe's these days... There's nothing like the angry forum goers...
I was quite bummed reading the first two lines of the quote, it seems a little uncalled for. I'm glad I don't buy maxim or read it, if I paid for a mag and read that, I'd probably have thrown it away...

 

Not surprised in the least.  Maxim's target demographic is the collar popped douchebags who get off on telling other people how awesome they (the douchebags) are.  Which is kinda ironic cause the rest of the world is laughing right back at them for being that shallow and stupid.

 

Lol, Maxim readers will buy right into this ****.

 

I actually have a subscrition to maxim. It was only eight USD. However, I don't reveille in the objectifying of women. I do like the jokes in the magazine though. But it's hard to for the magazine to hide that their writers are pretty bad.


side note: Hey Sol, you should put out a magazine. You write very well and you don't degrade anyone.

 

this is the only maxim gaming feature i've ever enjoyed:

I lol'ed.  I don't see anything wrong with looking at the boobies and bums.  At all.  Saying that, I just have to say that I get kinda saddened when I read the retarded bullsh** what devs have with respect to the females they place in their computer games.  I really think its time for that nonsense to just die.

Guys arent mindless creatures who are so pathetic that they have to get their biological rush staring at well rendered/endowed female characters in a video game.  They arent.  So this idea that guys are like this just needs to come to an end.

I understand while I type this that there ARE definately adz-clowns out there who quite honestly use these graphical add ons (lets be honest here...too many female characters in modern gaming are no more than interactive eyecandy) as a vicarious thrill, they are sure as hell not a majority.

As a female gamer, I find that these retarded comments offensive.

 

Thanks Lonethar. This view that some marketers and game developers have is just as demeaning to men as it is to women.

 

I couldn't have said it better, Lonethar

 

I only play games that feature women with enormous breasts and enough curves to flip a Lambo.  Please, explain to me where I can find this Dragon Age: Origins, that I might observe the women inside, and possibly inside the women.

 

the idea that showing attractive semi-nude women is offensive obectifying is absurd. this attitude stems from a fear in our society of female sexuality and power, which is based on the misogynism of the bible. in the christian tradition, women were and stll are considered unclean and impure and are viewed as temptresses that corrupt men. the taliban shows these views in extreme - women are not allowed to leave the house without a male family member and are covered head to toe. there is nothing wrong, shameful, or exploitive about female nudity.
