I'm genuinely surprised there is no anti sexism rage about the arcade login screen.

Either I don't see it or you're one of those people who find social justice issues in cloud formations and latte bubbles.

I gotta steal this line.

I think I see it... I don't really find any big deal about it. They're moving forward on some thing, hence the hair flowing in the wind, and the way Riven is positioned she's bound to be moving. That kind of motion isn't all too unrealistic, and I don't find it to be sexualizing at all.

What am I looking for?

I think it has to do primarily with her hips. Usually I wouldn't look at something like that, but her general movements is there since it's where the upper and lower body meet, and since she's in motion while simultaneous putting one raised foot onto a raised platform... well, people tend to move a bit when balancing. Especially when they're on something that's in motion.

Oh.

Maybe I'll give it another gander when I'm horny.

IcyPepper1 votes

Please don't. There's really nothing to see, it's just someone's posture bouncing because movement.

A valid argument. But her body movements don't match either the velocity or motion of riding on sona's etwahl. In truth she should simply be leaning forward to counteract the wind not moving her entire body like that. You can watch any video where people are standing on fast moving objects and not one of them will have movements like that.

Looks like she's making movements as if she's riding on Sona's Etwahl. You sure you're not just a really horny 14 year old boy? If so, that explains your fixation.

btw, we all know that level 11 is you. "He" agrees with your posts every few months...you might want to stop that.

For a bit there I didn't know who you were talking about until I looked over people's levels. And how does someone agreeing with my posts every other month make them me? Wouldn't it be like every day then? Who would make a profile to agree with them every couple months? That seems stupid.

Deep Terror Nami1 votes

Was that your thinking when you did it? Pad the comment history with regular replies elsewhere in a different style of writing and nobody would ever notice. Accounts that are never played and never or rarely comment on the boards make it obvious (happens a lot more than you'd think).

I'll just pretend it isn't you for the sake of cutting the argument short. It's not like [he] hurt anyone.

Embertine1 votes

Seriously that is pointless. Making a account to comment on something once every month or so is retarded. I understand the suspicion but really I don't do crap like that. If I did I would have made atleast three accounts to do it with for enough variety to make it seem like random people, not be stupid enough to make a single account.

Shhh, it's ok. It wasn't you, remember?

Embertine1 votes

I know it wasn't me, but I don't like people telling lies about me either. -_-

IcyPepper2 votes

seems like Inu Teppa only comments, with sometimes months inbetween, on threads or comments that Embertine posted in (or originally posted).

What a coincidence.

Embertine1 votes

Really? I need to check this cause that seems effing weird to me.

Embertine1 votes

Okay now that I've looked this is f#cking weird. He only has like five or seven comments and they are all on my posts!

Everyone seems to claim Riven looks "younger", as if to imply that Rito....

That's called being perverted

Embertine1 votes

Technically no it is not. The definition of perverted is to have a sexual desire or fetish that is out of the ordinary.

Dextix LT1 votes

I think having sexual desire for animated characters counts.

Embertine1 votes

Depends if enough people have that desire. If enough have it that it is no longer out of the ordinary, but rather ordinary instead, then it no longer qualifies under the definition. However as it currently is out of the ordinary that means that it does currently qualify to be a perversion. So yes you are right.

If you honestly find something sexual about a person's body bobbing as they're riding through the air, you are the problem. There's nothing overtly sexual about it.

You sexualizing it is actually sexist, sweaty. :)

Embertine2 votes

I didn't say it was sexist or actually sexualized, I only said I was surprised the anti-sexist people hadn't gone all over this. I actually thought they would try to use this somehow.

Inu Teppa3 votes

I see it, and it is a little surprising. I have to agree with you when you say you are surprised anti-sexism people aren't all over this.

Vantooth1 votes

The only thing that I see is the body movement really and even then, that would take some kind of extremist mind to think this is sexism.

Still kinda curious what you think is sexist on it.

Is she attractive? Sure. Is she overtly sexual? Hell no. She honestly just looks like a cosplayer having fun with her friends. Certainly not sexual in any way, other than maybe her general attractiveness. Honestly, I could find more sexual themes in the Academy Ahri than I ever would be able to in Arcade Riven.

So what am I supposed to be seeing?

Oh for fck sakes, WHATS NEXT? Will we blame clouds forr being sexist next?

Jesus christ this feminazi movement is annoying.

Riven has nice legs in all of her skins anyway

Bhagswag1 votes

...ok.

If this is about the way her hips are moving back and forth... Just no.
