Layout mistake and poor concept makes for a pretty darn low quality comic.

And to add injury to insult: her dress would be unwearable as she got zero training and could hardly walk in it and against a dragon, she'd be better off wearing barely any armor. Metal armor is absolutely terrible against high temperatures. Like, really.

Silly comic is silly.

It just seems...all over the place. There's no momentum going on and its delivery is poor.

To be fair, though, it's really hard to find an actually good female gaming comic. Most of them either are offensive or bland.

Therazane, the Stonemother, is a WoW lore character who has recieved hilarious amounts of mixed praise.



I must say I like her regardless. She is funny and she reminds me of one of those ancient 'mother' statues in appearance.

Funnily, because of this, I suppose you could say she is sexualised, even though I doubt that is something that leaps to mind at a glance.

The resemblance is uncanny.

Though Therazane is not a villain. She's chaotic neutral and ends up on your side.

OM NOM NOM!

I just had to immediately think of her when I saw the image

She was originally one though, considering her alliance to the old gods at one point in fighting alongside the other three elements, though Neptulon and her kinda just were like meh after a while, while Al'akir and Ragnaros were quite fine with the "Screw the world over" part.

Brilliant comic.

Spoiler:

Terrible artwork XD Good twist at the end tho

Personally I want more armor in games along the lines of Saber from Fate/Stay Night or Fate/Zero. Saber is classy

Turns out sexism hurts everyone.

I thought it was cute. Certainly better than ninety percent of webcomics out there, though tha'ts a low standard admittedly.

Storywise, or in regard to the drawings?
Both were pretty silly in my opinion. It is great and quite funny by itself, hence why I posted it, but I would not want to see this kind of stuff every day or every week. For that, there is UVoD or Wonderella or SMBC.

Anything that's about the same content will please her

I would advise Wonderella, then. Well, it is not at all the same content (first because then it would be the same strip with a different drawing, second because it is about some kind of Wonderman-like superhero), but I still think she would enjoy it.
And it has strip that are terrible handy to link in internet debates, like http://nonadventures.com/2014/05/31/the-strawman-cometh/ .
I need to join in the Kickstarter to get the physical books .
Also the very best Twitter header ever!

World of Warcraft, for example, with its focus on social interaction and status as an accepted mass phenomena in the western world, gets a lot of housewives, and many of them may be "brainwashed" by the everyday bombardment of idealised beauty in targeted advertisement and other media that may have shaped their understanding of how they "should" look.

Were you intentionally trying to be extraordinarily offensive with that statement?

As a sidenote, I think you are being a bit dishonest when you say you "don't care one way or the other", as you apparently care enough to invest the time to participate in this discussion and promote an opinion. Especially judging by your previous participation in threads on the topic of sexism - be it in the real world, tabletop settings, or .. well, video games.

I said I don't care about the presence or lack of sexy females in a given video game. That's quite different from caring about people falsely shouting "sexism, misogyny, the patriarchy!" at anything and everything.

Somehow vaguely relevant to the discussion, especially since it is a split-off from my Strife thread: why the hell did they totally inflate the boobs of Claudessa in her presentation trailer?
I mean, look for yourself.
In-game, model AND art:

Presentation trailer:

.

Too bad, because that character is really cool, and the whole backstory of “That goddamn dragon took my hand? I am going to take its hand in return. * start hitting people with a claw on a stick* " is damn awesome!

I dunno, seems a pretty standard 4chan ending to a 4chan drawn comic. Maybe I've spent to much time on /tg/...

And really, is anyone surprised that an online comic is really just the prelude to faux lesbian porn?

What's more important: why is the script and VA so bad?

I think we really need you to say a few more time how much you dislike that comics. I mean, maybe someone reading the messages without looking at who wrote them might think there are several people disliking it in the discussion .

All media is just a prelude to faux lesbian sex. Even the stories with no women. Cute comic though and cute armor.

Also, shout-out to the most win male character in the history of everything.

Don't you mean, most truly outrageous

P.S. Feel bad for Taric cause Braum makes him obsolete

He is so damn sexualised with that gear, the leather thong with bulge and all, but then you see that smug smile of his and you just melt.

Truly, TRULY outrageous!

Brilliant comic.

I actually like the art style - it's chaotic in a fun way. Could it be amiko16? I loved her Mass Effect comics.

Not at all. What's wrong with housewives playing games? Or are you debating that cultural exposure has any effect on young people forming opinions and values?

So what you're saying is that you don't care for the status quo, you just don't want people to change it.

I'm taking issue with the assertion that a female who enjoys playing with a sexy avatar must be brainwashed.

That's not remotely close to what I said, no. I said that I don't care if "sexified" female characters exist in a game or not, and certainly don't find either case to be as annoying as the people who complain about them via wildly disingenuous arguments.

Well, there are multiple people disliking it and they are more unbiased than the forum's usuals on this matter

I was referring to the video, though. Ugh. The VA (Voice Acting) really ain't good, the script seems hastily written and rule #1, dear S2 Games: show, not tell.
