sexist mods

[bielecki]

Is it just me or do you get mad continually seeing these mods that makes every women in Oblivion have oversized breasts and beautiful faces? If you want to see some private parts, then watch real porn! What is wrong with you getting off over computer graphics?!?

 

A message to modders, stop making mods that give the characters in oblivion skimpy clothing that makes then look like medieval prostitutes! It is really sad and please, please do not make a mod that give the dudes in Oblivion anatomically correct anatomy!!! I know there already are, but why? That has to be the homophobic thing ever! Nerds, geeks and dorks I know every guy has an urge but computer graphics is not the way to go if you want to 'relax' (if you know what I mean. LOL).

 

EDIT by LHammonds: I removed the profanity and tried to correct the numerous English spelling problems. Profanity is not allowed here (ToS) so consider this STRIKE #1 for you. Please read the stickies in this area to understand what it means.

I don't think "sexist" means what you think it means.

 

That aside, this has come up few times, here most frequently. The thread usually ends up with "They get downloaded a lot, so quite a few people obviously like them, and it's pretentious and rude to demand a modder uploads or doesn't upload certain types of mods (aside from those that go against the TOS)".

Personally I don't enjoy the naked/half naked mods myself, but I'm not going to tell others what they can and can not make and share. To each their own.

 

Also, by your "gay" comment you seem to think everyone making and downloading mods is male. Last time I checked I was female. :rolleyes:

If you don't like them, don't make them, don't download them. Personally, I would be particularly troubled by having alot of mods that didn't objectify women in some way given the mostly male modding population, and given that ages tend to range between 12 and 18 for most. Yes, there are several very talented female modders, and there are several older modders, myself included, but most are just your usual horny teenager who happens to be interested in this sort of thing.

 

I say that it would be troubling to see a lack of this because it would mean that certain feminist values have not only taken root, but are more prevalent than one would expect. I think most sensible people would be able to realize what I am getting at as there certain, almost insane views, that some people have, on both sides of the issue. To see both people who are creating the content, and those who speak against it, or create to go against it is quite a bit more encouraging than to see only one kind of message being heard.

 

There are body mods, like Bab, and a few others which have more realistic proportions. While you may not be getting larger, more obese bodies, like what some are trying to describe as being "how a real woman should look", this is more to do with the limitations of the game than anything.

 

Honestly, you can't expect very much in ways of real life depictions within a game, you never could. Yes, there are too many mods where there are extremely skimpy "armors", and there are some mods which feature breasts larger than the character's head. This is kinda why the game is considdered fantasy, and why many of the guys playing said game play a female character. On the same notion, this is also why there is yet no mod which incorportates a woman's monthly cycle into the game. People (both women and anyone around those women) honestly have enough of dealing with that in reality. Not many people would want to play a game where all the characters are overweight (they can go to the mall to see that), nor will many people want to play a game where all the women are flat chested, or plain looking (they can see that everywhere).

As a woman, an awful lot of female body mods cause me some eyeroll, particularly with the ridiculous breast sizes. On the other hand, I use Robert's male bodies in my game, which even in the "average" version does not represent most guys I see walking around (particularly with some of the available adult mods for it).

 

So I mostly call it even.

This is going to turn into a flame war, so I am closing it before other action is necessary.

 

If you don't like something don't use it, if you want something try requesting it politely or make it yourself.

 

Complaining is counter productive.
