If it only had a string on her back screaming THAT PENIS IS RAPING ME it's practically realistic
So does she develop games or visual novels in twine?
>>341587661
just like real girls.
But plenty of women are involved in game developmentin Japan
Oddly enough no one has an issue. Do Asian women not count as women or something?
>>341587472
Mattel is having issues financially so they went to their complaint box and look to solve as many issues as they can to get detractors' issues solved and people buying their products again. See also Thomas the Tank Engine multi-cultural trains and changes to Matchbox for collectors.
>>341588019
No because sjw hate Japan and will only acknowledge its existence only to complain.
>>341588205
But women even have major roles in Japanese vidya.
You'd be hard pressed to find someone who wouldn't name, say, Yoko Shimomura as one of the best composers in vidya period.
>>341588059
What do the thick dolls look like with their clothes off?
>>341588059
I wonder, was barbie having those weird skinny proportions about reinforcing gender roles or because that model was cheap/easy to produce.

this is how normies see our hobby
This might be a bit off topic but I need some help.
I keep having this recurring dream. I'm in a park usually sitting on or walking near a large rock. Then a predator (usually a leopard but also lions, tigers, panthers, bears) pops out and starts growling at me and then charges. Or sometimes it would be chasing a small animal like a monkey which runs at me drawing the predator to me.
Anyway, it attacks and I try to keep it at bay. My hand or arm is in their mouth brushing against its teeth as we're struggling but I never get bit. Sometimes another predator comes in distracting the one attacking me, other times I'm able to escape, or I just wake up in the middle of it.
What does it mean guys?
>>341588750
No anon, it is what our hobby has become.
>>341588481
Probably the latter.
Ensure that everything's cost efficient so that profits can be maximised- that's standard procedure for a lot of businesses.
>>341588019
Asian women aren't liberated enough for the West, even though it's common to have women creating anime, manga and games in Japan alongside men and nobody gives a shit. The West is just jealous their women can't produce anything of worth.
>>341589102
>The West is just jealous their women can't produce anything of worth.
Serious question, why is this? Why can't women make anything good in the west?
They should make a femminist barbie and then make you unable to but it since that would be objectifying her
>>341588059
Tall is best girl
>>341589218
because of feminism
>>341589218
Because of feminism, women are being taught from an early age to complain instead of acting.
>>341589218
because women are physically, mentally and emotionally inferior to men.
There is a reason they have remained useless for the majority of human history
>>341587472
what is with stuff like this?
it's the same as encouraging girls to get into STEM subjects. girls are already ahead of boys in STEM subjects, but so many act as if there's a big societal problem, that girls are always discouraged from doing that stuff, which they simply aren't.
same thing here, there are already so many chicks in game development, they obviously don't need to be patronizingly encouraged to get into it.
>>341588453

>>341589897
There's this delusional idea in gender theory that women and men are equal in every way, and that any profession without a 50/50 split is a disgusting old boys club that needs to be broken up so that women can get high pressure jobs.
>>341588621
They actually don't look fat.
>>341587472
This is some of the most cynical bullshit I've seen all day.It's been a long day.
>If we make a child play with <insert toy here> it will shape what kind of adult they become!
This has always been such a stupid mentality. Your kid's toys do not shape their fucking future as a human being, nor can you make a kid play with the toys YOU want them to like. It's like saying that if you buy FPS games for your daughter she'll want to join the military.
>>341588019
Asian women don't count since they are brainwashed by their sexist society.
Now people who wear the veil, they're completely under their own free will.
I don't care OP, if it gets more girls into game and game developing. i Just.
I just don't care anymore,
I'm 30, i have not met any ladies my age that share my enthusiasm for videogames.
You young guys who are bitching and complaining. Fuck man, i would love to meet someone who is cool with games.
Every girl i've dated it's always "Oh you're playing that thing again" they don't give a fuck.
I go out with them to dinner, To their friends houses, occasionally shopping, romantic evenings n shit.
But some days i just wanna sit down and play some videogames and i get just attitude from them, snarky comments,
"How much time are you going to waste on that thing?"
"It's for NERDS,"
"Are you really going to play that all evening?"
"Why can't we do something We'll BOTH enjoy?"
I've been single for a year now just because I'm determined this time to have someone who i can stay with who is cool with my hobbies (I also like hiking, Nature, Long walks on the beach, Drawing, Sculpting, but yeah can't spend too much time on anything without involving them, But oh hey, lets watch trash reality TV, or I'm going to read erotic fan fiction or whatever the fuck it was.)
Count your fucking lucky stars that you have a chance of meeting a girl who wants to try and vs you in a game.
Fuck i am envious.
Fuck i am bitter.
Fuck i am so lonely.

>>341590197
The types of toys your children play with do influence them in certain ways, but in very general and broad ways. That's why it's good to encourage small children to play the way they want to, especially with blocks and customisable toys, instead of trying to structure their play too much.
That said, having a STEM Barbie probably isn't going to do much to encourage young girls to have an interest in tech. I'd rather a kid build her own "Build a Bear that's good with computers" instead of this ready-made shit because then the kid is going out of her way to make the toy look like that.
Hey guys, when taking a shower do you also grab the falling water with your mouth and then spit it out when you are full?

Just like in real life, tall is best.
>>341588019
It's become fashionable, like buying a certain product because the corporation that made it is "environmentally friendly" (even if it's not really true).
We've reached the point where most people define political activism in terms of what they buy, not what they do for their communities or what they volunteer in their spare time.
Jesus you cant write better parody
>>341590357
You're retarded in more ways than one. Men are most attractive in their 30s, and should absolutely never be aiming for women their own age. Date 20 year olds, you fucking retard.
And women aren't into games. My sister believes she's into video games because she watches Youtubers and has played a couple of Zelda games. That's about the best you can expect, and she still spends hours a day watching completely vapid shows about retarded rich trophy wives.
Women are not worth your time. Feminism and birth control have destroyed the concept of the nuclear family, learn to be happy alone or kill yourself.

I swear being gay brings the best and worst out of some people.
Sometimes they're so fun and good to be around and great friends while the others are people where I start getting pissed at them.
Guess that applies to most people though.

>legally female
I'm female and involved in the software industry and I've never seen anyone who looks like that either in my college courses or where I work (Apple). About half the other women are Indian, Chinese or Japanese and the rest are relatively normal. It's a bit offensive that punkish type girls are becoming the stereotype of female gamers as if doing something as simple as playing a videogame is some form of rebellion. It's pathetic.
The only people who look like that are attention whore streamers looking to stand out and to profit from that off lonely neckbears.
Also and maybe surprisingly most software developers from my experience don't even seem to like playing games, they're not into the culture at all.

>idea girl and take all the credit when someone else does all the work barbie
>>341591715
that was the biggest culture shock to me. After I joined a software company, I realized almost no one had the same interests as me. Maybe in the whole company, like two. I wasn't used to being around so many people.
You know what?
I don't mind if they made more games for girls so that they will leave games made for boys alone.
When I was a kid, boys play Hot Wheels while girls play Barbie. The same shit should apply to videogames.

>tfw your girlfriend likes vidya and completely understands "hey i just want to be alone this weekend and sleep/vidya"
IMO your best bet at gauging a woman's sincerity about interest in stupid nerd shit is looking at pictures of her when she was in middle/high school. Was she fat? Probably real interest, as she wouldn't be faking it to get boys.
>lol anon your gf is fat
She was in high school--we both were. From my observation 1 in every 20 landwhales will get mad she's "the cool fat one" and become "the cool hot one." I am so glad I could look past her weight when I initially started crushing on her, because she basically gets off on rejecting people who wouldn't give her the time of day when she was fat (I do too, as now we're essentially autists parading around in Chad and Stacy costumes).
Why are they forcing all these professions on Barbie is what I don't get.
Little boys play (or at least used to) exclusively with soldier dolls and not all of them become soldiers, in fact, a miniscule part of them do. Nobody plays with CEO dolls or construction worker dolls but that's the career path lots of boys take.
>>341597632
>2d
at least try
>>341597859
Playing house and roleplaying characters is the exact point of barbie and profession ties into that.
Boys tend to play with action figures who are on some sort of dangerous mission rather than living day to day life.

>thinking that's curvy
Dear fucking Christ. Get some standards. That's formless fat shaped into crude spheres by high tensile fabric.
To get proper curves requires someone to engage in squats. That bitch looks like she'd topple and scramble on the ground like a wounded animal if she even tried.
>>341587472

>>341598693
I'm personally more a fan of fit chicks. Just saying there's a difference between a fat ass a toned butt.
>>341598693
Man the way some females store fat is amazing. She's like maybe as much as 30% bf...men look like complete dogshit if they are above 12%.
>>341599168
>>341599586
Really it's a fetishistic thing. It's gross up close. And once age catches up, if they're in that condition they go from having that fetish butt to being a miserable blob.
I'd rather have a girl I'm involved with take care of herself. Doesn't even need to bother shaving or doing the makeup thing. All I care about is that she tries to stay in good health.
>>341600242
Both the butt and the breasts are implants.
Is that taking care of yourself? Good health?
>>341600471

Plenty of women who are not in shitty marketing and PR are in development. You just never hear about them because they're embarrassed by the screaming harpies in non-vital game dev roles who claim that the industry is sexist.

SJWs hate Asians because their existence goes against almost every narrative they're trying to spin.
Japan in particular is something they just prefer to ignore. It demonstrates that progress/wealth is rooted in behavior, culture and education and not in race relations, and Japan's gender culture also presents an alternative model to the Western idea of Patriarchy-vs-Feminism struggle. Japan demonstrate that it's possible for women to be judged by their merits, and without being "liberated".

>Your kids toys do not shape their fucking future as a human being
That's not entirely true, anon. Open structure games like legos can improve their creativity and intelligence at an early age. But I agree that a "game developer gurl" is too cryptic a concept for a little kid, as they are still developing abstract thinking. So it won't define their career choice or sexual identity or whatever.
