![]() Many are also exposing portions of buttock, which the male models don’t do. Many of them are exposing portions of thigh, which the male models don’t do. Not a single one of these models is wearing anything that could be called pants. But you know what all of them have that none of the TERA women do? F*CKING PANTS: CLICK FOR LARGE VIEW And yes several of them are wearing some low-cut pants. Now sure, they’re all showing a fair amount of skin. So here, for your edification, is a collection of male castanics showing some skin: CLICK FOR LARGE VIEW So the first order of business when examining these claims that male castanics are just as sexualized as female castanics is to round up a shit ton of screen shots. I’m aware it was terrible, and it’s kind of tangential to the point I’m trying to make today. ![]() In a subsequent post and discussion, I repented of my use of the word slut, so for those of you following this link who missed out on that discussion, please don’t rake me over hot coals for my use of the word slut. In my previous TERA post, I used problematic language when talking about the women of TERA. But that is NOT THE SAME as two spangles and a cork. But even ignoring that point, I can say that I’ve seen screenshots of male castanics, and sure they’ve got rippling abs and low cut pants. ![]() Not one of the commenters even tried to address that, I’m guessing because it didn’t fit into their comfortable knee-jerk reactions. However, the whole charge that male castanics are “just as bad” and that not showing them was “revealing my bias” or some such really stuck in my craw.įor one thing, they’re completely ignoring all of my points about the promotional art that centers on nearly naked women next to fully covered men. Now ordinarily I wouldn’t bother dignifying this sort of thing with too much of a response besides dropping some pertinent links in the comment thread for people who stumble across the post in the future. So, thekillerangel, thank you for trying to inject a little sanity into the flood of outraged temper tantrums. While we may disagree with some of the author’s points, can we avoid the personal attacks? Now it’s worth pointing out that I did get one comment from a TERA user who wasn’t comfortable with the others trolling my blog: omg ur biased for not showing male castanics who are just as bad (2 comments).talking about discrimination is stupid and makes people feel bad (2 comments).you’re making this all about you (2 comments).you feminist bitches are so silly (3 comments).I’m a woman and I’m not bothered by it (1 comment).it’s just a game/it’s just fantasy (5 comments).The responses I got can be roughly summarized as follows: Most of the comments really weren’t really more than a waste of space and many of them repeated each other, since trolls often seem to lack in originality. Over the weekend, someone must have linked my old TERA post to the official TERA forums as I got a flood of troll comments on that post. ![]()
