She said it set unrealistic standards. She asked if that's what I want? I said yes (I made the mistake of being honest). She went into a massive fit of rage, I've never seen her so livid. I asked why not have fun with it, you can dress up as her...That's when she got violent, screaming about how she'd never stoop so low, how she couldn't understand how men could want that and how disgusting it was objectifying women like that etc. etc. and all this after I dressed up as a champion for HER! She didn't seem to have a problem with that though. So here I am dressing up as Cho'Gath for my woman and she finds the mere thought of dressing up as Rek'Sai disgusting and offensive to women cause "unrealistic standards". What a load of crap.

TL;DR GF wont dress up for me.

If you want unrealistic, look at Blitzcrank . No man has an 18 second cooldown on his right hand.

After the first couple of sentences I hoped this was going in a certain direction...

I was not disappointed.

Yeah sounds like your girlfriend needs thicker skin.

I can't believe you posted about us! This is our personal business! I offered to dress up as Ashe, a realistic looking female but NOOOOO. It's always Rek'Sai this or Warwick that!

You are dating a feminist, I would suggest you back out before it's too late.

Because *clearly *the guys in League weren't objectified in any way, shape or form right?

This is really getting out of hand, I mean come on just take a look on some of Riot's male champion creations.

Alistar - Muscle and his "milk" joke. Brand - Half naked, smoking hot. Braum - The ladies' man. DrMundo - More muscle, so much he is deformed. Ezreal - Teenage boy with a cute face and an intelligent mind, says his character concept basically. Gragas - One of the best 2 men in League. Graves - Wild wild west style and you love it. Jayce - I like my men heroic. LeeSin - Half naked, kung fu blind guy with a modest attitude, who doesn't love him (outside of gameplay)? Lucian - Slim and beautiful, tragic and hateful, oh that's some hot material right there yo. Malphite - Rock solid, yer ladies love this stuff. Hehe I jest. Pantheon - Restless spear, 6 pack armour plate and SPARTA!!! Ryze - Half naked, shaved head and glorious beard and umm... blue, pretty sure a there are still a lot of ladies who are into this. Singed - If you like sick and fragile man of pills who eats steroids for breakfast, here is your niche too. Talon - Micheal Jackson lives. Taric - Stunning and outrageous, the king of manly man. Tryndamere - Half naked serious type with anger management problems whose right arm is A LOT stronger than his left? Dang! LADIES HE'S LONELY!! TwistedFate - Gentleman's gentleman, until you're tricked heart broken that is. Udyr - Kung fu guy who lives in the wild, like Tarzan but more ground oriented. Urgot - He is UR GOD. All ladies love him, all men envy him, all kids respect him and no one defies his authority. He is the one true man. Varus - 100% naked, those aren't trousers but fur. Viktor - If you like something better than "rock solid", he has the tragic past led twisted personality/worldview coupon that makes it even better. Vladimir - If you're a twilight fan, or fan of any type of vampire literature he is your man. XinZhao - He spears you into the sky ladies, you'll love him. Yasuo - Half naked loyal and highly skilled samurai who is determined to walk a path of revenge? Well how can any lady not think that he is some hot cake is beyond me. Zac - Goo - y and 100% naked with a kind heart believing in justice and righteousness, instant 9/10 material since his face is a little let down but on worries he is still indeed, a fine man. Zilean - Given his age he must had been some hot man when he was still young, but too bad we don't get to see aye, only imagination.

Some made it up there simply for the sake of it but you get the idea really.

Tbh, males are sexualised just as much as females and it's been like that for god knows how long already. Do men care about their gender being sexualised? Not really, for the most part we don't care 1 bit at all.

Then why should female's portrayal in medias be any different?

Modern feminism can sometimes be way beyond the original intended scope and march right into the strange zone.

**EDIT: **And OP, this is why 2D waifus are better, especially in this regard. So join us buddy.................. they don't shy away from cosplay too.......

She just wants to get in a fight with you so you guys have make-up sex later which is always more intense.

Also the perfect chance to sneak one in the backdoor.

Not sure if the whole thing is a joke or if only the latter part - anyways my girlfriend saw me playing ahri and I mentioned her kit revolving around charm (this was before the change) and she related it to some story she heard as a kid. I think she also saw me playing caitlyn and may have made a comment there but ultimately had no problem with it.

I think reasonable people see nothing wrong with the female champions being typically attractive. Unrealistic standards my ass: how are superman, he-man, etc... remotely realistic standards for men? Yet we never hear about boys having problems with unrealistic standards being set for them, because reasonable people accept that an "ideal" is not meant to be realistic. Why should league champions be any different? Male champions should have big arms that you'd need steroids to get in real life.

I'm a woman that plays League and I have never had a problem with the female champions. Sure, there are a few outfits that are dumb, but nothing is NEARLY as bad as what other games give us. Here on League, we get lots of cleavage (realistically sized) and Akali's thighs. Some games we get weird ginormous bouncing breasts, butt cheeks, hip bones, camel toes.... Anyway, I don't believe League is objectifying women. Our ladies fight with swords, bows, spears, knives, etc.

You know what is objectifying? Princess Peach fights with her tears. That's pathetic and does nothing but show women as being crybabies. Here in League, we don't have to deal with that nonsense.

I'll take Miss Fortune's massive boobs over that any day.

I would somewhat understand if an average person wouldnt dress up as Katarina or Ahri, but Rek'sai? It got me really pissed when I read her saying she wouldn't dress as Rek'sai and she wouldnt stoop too low. She is basically saying she isn't going to be that much of a "nerd" to your face. And thats what makes me pissed.
