The Dredge Tank

I’m not certain it’s porn addiction, but an attitude towards women in media that is just wrong and needs correcting.

I’m not a prude, I enjoy sexual content in media, but only where it’s relevant to plot and character development. I don’t want to play a non sexual game like an fps eg Overwatch and have my screen covered in wifu characters with unlikely proportions, it’s deeply odd to me, why is it there? Am I meant to be jerking it? Is it just meant to make it more awkward for a female audience to see their gender sexualised? (Tbh I don’t want to play overwatch ever, but that’s besides the point) And I don’t want well rounded characters being turned into 2d wank fodder. It just makes the medium worse, less interesting and more offputting. Though I do wonder how much the offputting-ness is the point for these losers that want to gatekeep gaming.

Back in my day if you played creepy sexual video games you got heavily bullied, and I think that was correct and good actually. I think that creepy nerds being empowered to be gross online and call for this kind of sexualisation is a failure of society. If I was publicly posting that I thought the new needed more scantily clad big tittys, I’d really hope my family, my friends and my high school bullies would all separately put me in my place. Doesn’t just have be by shoving these losers in a locker either, it can be other things such as teaching empathy and that women aren’t just eyecandy, but also shock actual people.
