Would it flesh out Jinx's character if she had a flat-chest complex?

darkdill··2 votes·1,681 views

Given that Jinx is... not nearly as well endowed as the other League ladies, would it be good for Jinx's character if she was envious of buxom women? You could get a lot of comedy out of it, at least.

For instance...

Jinx to Caitlyn : "You know Hat Lady, without your hat, I should really call you something else... like Boobie Lady!"

Plus, while it might seem like a bit of an anime-ish trope, the "A-Cup Angst trope" would make Jinx a tad easier to relate to for some. Surely IRL, there are SOME flat-chested women who want to have DD's. (Why do you think we have implant surgery, after all?)

Right. You know, women just worry about their chest all the time. I mean what else IS there?

It'd just be something she'd envy when it pops up (i.e. say MF were to tease Jinx about being "so small").

All Jinx cares about killing. We don't need characters talking about dicks and tits. Besides, a female character being comfortable in her own skin and being proud to be feminine is a huge plus.

If you were to implement such a feature it would detract from her character a lot as well. She is too loony (or smart even) to really care about society's standards on what is fun, appealing, or attractive. She is a rebel without a cause (refer to her quote, "Who needs reasons?"). Her idea of fun is killing, destroying, and blowing things up for the simple pleasure of it, with nothing to lose and nothing to prove.

Considering how few fucks Jinx gives with showing what little boobage she has, it would be jarring for her to have a complex. She seems very comfortable with her body.

So a similar personality much like Etna from Disgaea? http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/disgaea/images/d/df/D1PSP_Etna.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/356?cb=20140118015819&path-prefix=en

I mean she has SERIOUS problems! Don't mention her uh lack of assets... You might get the axe... Literally. Also in case anyone is wondering: She is well over 1470 years old. Being a demon has its perks.

I wish I was a demon sometimes... It'd be awesome to be able to screw with Peoples lives for my own enjoyment. I mean I already do it but as a demon I'd get to do it for all eternity!

She is actually kinda bored of it... She keeps constantly trying to kill her overlord who is this "kid" (age 1300ish): http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/disgaea/images/3/37/Laharl2.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100814214852&path-prefix=en

Why? Because she feels like. No seriously. Its gotten to that point for her.

Arcade Andrew1 votes

She's older than the kid and he rules her? What ever happened to superiority

Void Nargacuga1 votes

Its a very long story, but maybe I can give you the jist of it... Basically Laharl (the "kid" as she calls him) is the son of the recently deceased overlord and had the right to become the next overlord. Etna was the Vassal to King Krichevskoy (Laharl's father) so by that fact she then became Laharl's Vassal. Strange fact: King Krichevskoy died while chocking on a Dark Pretzel (yes this actually happened in the story, though other in game sources {Etna's Diary} say otherwise)...

Well I'd still be a demon, is get to live in hell (which would be heaven for me because I FUCKING HATE THE COLD) I'd get to screw with people, live forever and torture people for a living. I don't see any downside to it, as long as I don't get tortured for enternity and I get to DO THE toturing I'm good.

Oh here is the kicker: The Netherworlds (yes that is where they live NOT hell {Hell abbreviated to HL is the primary currency of all Netherworlds}). One of the more interesting Netherworlds is one that is NOTHING BUT A GIANT SCHOOL! I kid you not. There are even frozen Netherowordls. Each Netherworld is as varied as the many different environments in our world. Though in the Netherworlds you can find some weird extremes (like the School Netherworld) and oddities.

reported for lying to people. Disgaea 3 was easily the worst one.

I meant interesting as in hilarious due to the fact that the whole Netherworld in that game is nothing but a giant school.

Tough crowd... Just saying that there are many different Netherworlds.

Moreorless like Etna, except less sassy and more crazy.

Void Nargacuga1 votes

Interesting way of putting it. I mean Etna really is crazy... Well for a demon though that might be considered normal.

Nah, I like Jinx with her "Give no fucks" attitude. And my partner loves her, flat chest and all. I think he'd riot if this was added. [slayer-jinx-catface]

Jinx seems to have been given severe consumption characteristics.

She is absurdly slender and has no curves... that's part of the thematic design of her character. Being busty would somewhat remove that and be wildly out-of-(design)-character. She's basically a meth-head..... giving Jinx lovely breasts would be like making Annie busty, it just doesn't fit.

Jinx is supposed to be physically ugly... that's why she is the ugliest female character. Of course some people will try to deny this but it is not debatable; She is ugly, she is designed to be ugly, she is designed specifically to appear like a sickly drug addict (Doesn't eat, doesn't sleep, super hyper(Mania), bags under her eyes, criminal... sound like something?). That's not wrong, that's just the look they went with and it's fine.

Well whether an appearance is ugly or not is purely subjective. To you she may be, but others maybe not. It's all down to taste.

Dominick Destine1 votes

subjective.

Your subjective nonsense has no value, I'm talking about objective reality.

Objectivity is what matters, not subjectivity... the fact is; Riot designed Jinx to be sickly, damaged, ugly, awful looking... very similar to a meth-head ... someone that gets no sleep, eats poorly, etc. Or you could drop the meth-head comparison and go with consumption which works too.

"Your subjective nonsense has no value"

"that's why she is the ugliest female character"

Saying she is the ugliest female character is a personal opinion. Somebody else might find that look attractive, that's their opinion. In the same way that you think she is ugly.

And my subjective nonsense has no value?

Do you live in a glass house Dominick?

When your entire argument is "THATS JUST YOUR OPINION", you have no argument.

MrWasjig2 votes

This is ignoring the rest of the argument at hand.

Looks like I need to reiterate as you are clearly turning a blind eye.

Saying she is the ugliest female character is a personal opinion, YOUR opinion. Opinion = Subjective

Jeejee'd

Sure you don't live in a glass house? Because you shouldn't throw so many stones.

Nope.

She is designed to be that way (Consumption characteristics/meth-head style/zero curves/etc.). She is specifically the ugliest female character. If you enjoy looking at her because you have issues, that's fine. But reality does not bend to your emotion.

MrWasjig1 votes

If you enjoy looking at her because you have issues

For starters, that's ad hominem. When just yesterday you yourself were deploring someone's argument for the same thing. Hypocrisy much? (It's also a strawman arguement. Nice try though)

But reality does not bend to your emotion.

Pot calling the kettle black.

Second, who decided that she was the ugliest? For the sake of argument (oh and you'll want to read this in full, not nitpick it like always) let's say Riot's intention was to make her the ugliest female character, somebody had to decide what constitutes as ugly. Was that one guy? Or was there a consensus? Either way that's still a biased subjective perception of "ugly". Because what you fail to understand is that perceptions of appearance are down to taste and subjective bias.

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" is an appropriate proverb for this discussion. That which one person finds beautiful or admirable may not appeal to another.

Nope.

Making observations on the type of person that would make flimsy arguments based on subjectivity derived from an objective evaluation.... do have issues. Stating very probable facts is not an ad hominem especially given that they were formulated from objective criteria.

Second, who decided that she was the ugliest?

I will not explain this to you yet again, read prior posts.

Good red herring though.

Either way that's still a biased subjective perception of "ugly".

Read prior comments as many times as is necessary.

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" is an appropriate proverb for this discussion.

Nope.

Your can continue to argue your subjective nonsense, that's fine... but that is still incorrect.

Well that was easy.

MrWasjig1 votes

Looks and appearance are subjective to the one observing. That's what you fail to understand.

But you keep ignoring that very simple explanation. What you're trying to argue is that those factors are objective. If you say it's ugly, that's the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Well you're wrong.

Because what constitutes as ugly and beautiful is subjective to an individual's personal tastes and biases.

But sure you keep banging away on that "I can say no wrong" glockenspiel I'll just be over here reading the spectator. Let me know when you're reading to admit you're making an entirely flawed arguement drag out for this long.

Well that was easy. Keep trying though because you're still wrong with your totally flawed argument that a subjective matter is objective. It's not. I think you might need to look into what the two words actually mean before you try to convince me that one is the other.

Funny you should tell me that reality does not bend to my emotion, because that's your entire angle. And yes that was a direct personal attack. Because you lost all integrity when you first commented, so I don't see why I should pretend you have any, any longer.
