gemprincess10 asked:
why is someone, who analyzes a trailer a sucker?
lily-peet answered:
You’re looking at context-less footage, often with the wrong audio attributed to it, and trying to pull any kind of impression from the film based on it. Anything other than “Well that was a nice trailer” or “That was a shitty trailer” is going to be nothing but conjecture, and will (whether by intention or not) drum up needless expectations and hype.

And written by Hideki Kamiya. And either way, bad character design is still bad character design.

+pokemaster of everything The character design in general. Sexuality is not what a character IS, it’s something a character DOES. Defining a character by their sexuality is both lazy and one-dimensional.
The Ms Fanservice trope always bothered me as well. It’s two parts sexist and one part patronizing. As if Platinum Games is going “Oooh! Look at the sexy lady! Doesn’t that make you want to buy our game?”
No, no it does not, Platinum. “Sexy” ladies are a dime a dozen and quite frankly playing an overdone trope straight and claiming you’re being “subversive” might be something most of your audience is going to buy, but I wasn’t born yesterday.
Frankly in any capable universe that isn’t deliberately stacked in her favor, Bayonetta would have been dead the instant she was met with the sharp end of a sword.

+Guciom Even in the context of another video game, Bayonetta would be dead. I’m not talking about realism, I’m talking about practicality. If you put her in a Battle Royale situation with Commander Shepard, Darth Traya, Dante, Nero, Raiden, and Arthas, then Bayonetta would be the first one to die.

+pokemaster of everything Here’s the question you have to ask though: If Bayonetta, Dante, and Raiden were all in a fight with eachother, who dies first?
In any practical instance, Bayonetta dies first.

+Joel McCabe I can’t look at broader character design when there ISN’T ANY!
This have nothing to do with what I am talking about but here is just more proof Peet will listen to any random
person this is also from the same video. This was when she was still Jerry put the point after the quote still

Also, I appreciate the little jab at Gamergate. Most male Youtubers seem to support it 100% and deny the misogyny in its roots. And they’re really obsessed with Anita Sarkeesian, too. Like…I’ve never seen a single woman get so many guys stirred up. It’s getting really old at this point.

Things like that are the reason why when I hear a radical Tumblr feminist yelling “ALL MEN ARE PIGS” I sigh begrudgingly and go “Yeah, you’re right…”
Also, I’d advise disabling replies. I may be more enlightened (or at least I like to think I am) but most of my viewers are not.
Yep that is right Peet just threw not only threw men under the bus but she even threw the people from Normal
Boots under the bus. Mind you at the time she had said that she enjoys PeanutButterGamer and ProJared

Where did Peet even hear about Kill la Kill? He cares as much about anime as I care about My Little Pony Tales. Did someone try suggesting it, because I doubt that would sway any opinions.

+Jimmy Mcrustle I was talking about the trope as a whole. And I’ve heard all the excuses in the book. I personally despise the “revealing armor” trope regardless of it’s reasons who who’s wearing it.
It’s the trope in general. Nothing against this particular series.

+Jimmy Mcrustle I would give a detailed answer, but it’s the subject of a future Glass of Water.
Short form: Going into battle with skimpy armor is simply asking to die.

+Jimmy Mcrustle I suppose, but I know that said armor is designed for sex appeal first and any other reason second, and that trope is flat out freaking boring.

+Jimmy Mcrustle Ubiquity. The trope is used everywhere. The vast majority of armor on female characters is designed to be sexually appealing in a rigidly conventional, hetero-normative sense. It showcases a lack of imagination in the designer.
Additionally, when a character goes into combat, sex appeal is the least important thing in the world. I expect armor to at the very least by rationally plausible. This is especially noticeable in most Fantasy RPG’s where the male characters are walking in big hunks of metal while the women are wearing skintight or bikini-esque plate and it provides the same protection… somehow.
Additionally there is Bayonetta, who’s bodysuit is supposedly impervious to all physical damage, yet she has a massive opening running all the way up her back for some reason, defeating the purpose of the bodysuit entirely.
While I’m not opposed to sex appeal, combat is not the place for such things. I know it’s not done for any reason other than popping boners, and as a result it’s constant overuse makes the trope boring. Everyone tries to come up with their own excuses, but at this point they all blend together.
The trope needs to go.

+Jimmy Mcrustle “I believe like you do, that women should not be allowed to wear revealing clothes”
I didn’t say that. I said that revealing clothes in a battle is impractical and a sign of a deathwish. I’m talking about combat situations exclusively.
And now that you’re putting words in my mouth and taking conversations in circles, we’re done.
You know the last part of this year old comment is really funny when you remember just a few days ago Peet was
calling someone a Pedo while still using her Stockholm fanfic as a reason she is not a pedo the same fanfic she
deleted once people started accusing her of being a pedo
