Sexist Reloaded

[LenaRosemberg]

I really dislike the new walking. I totally don't walk like that. Please use a casual walking animation, not a top-model-like one. Start with feet on two lines and not just one.

A little offtopic answer from me here. I do not feel harassed but I must say that some boys in this (and in any) game can not chat without flirting or even writing offensive statements as a joke. Last week there was a thread on the Spanish Inn asking "If you find an enemy girl, would you kill her?", amazingly some people answer that the would not.
If I have 1 Ximerin for every time I read "Are you a real girl?" follow by "do you have a boyfriend?" I would have lots of premium .
I do not care about all this, I am a grown up woman and I know some boys playing this game are teenagers and they mean no harm, they are just in "that age".
These situations are older than this walking feature and they have nothing to do with this new animation, but the animation may encourage this behaviour.

I do not think there is a sexist behaviour from NGD, I do not like the animation because I feel it is a little overdone. I am Argentinian and I agree that some models/cheap-celebs walks like that, but I do not think they are a good example to follow. Furthermore, I do not think a police woman walking like that inspire respect.
And yes, I think the animation movement is better and more realistic , but I rather to walk like a female warrior than a cute princess.

what I meant was, does a regular citizen walk like that, cheap celebs or models doesn't really count in my head and I don't like the slutty/cheap/snobby behaviour some of them have.
I think I need to watch an archerwoman do the walk instead as they've always worn a short skirt.

A warrior woman, hm, let's look at how xena walks XD?

A heroic walk though, shooting your chest forward probably applies to a male, but a female, people get a second kind of thought when this happens, So maybe not xena anyway, but we need something like wonder woman, superwoman etc. And maybe see how they walk when they need to show off, then ngd can have their heroic walk for females, the users won't feel harrassed about how their characters walk and we would all be happy, yay \o/.
