Newgrounds is by far the worst place for dress up games. I had to stop looking after I discovered dress up hentai game(s). :barf: Why I didn't think they existed, I'll never know. The internet is not for children, and they should never be allowed to explore it. :smith:

Edit: It's not one game, it's a whole loving section.

Admittedly, I've never been very interested in fashion, and that's not necessarily a good thing. But do blouses usually go for hundreds of dollars, up to $900?

My best friend loves to compete in beauty pageants; the money someone can spend on one item of clothing for one event even in an optional contest is staggering.

So is it even possible to market a video game by using a woman, but not portray the woman in a negative light? No.


Are you a girl who likes video games? Do you play them for fun instead of using them to meet boys? Do you hate it when men online either hit on you or judge you because you are a woman?
Well, we here at Sony want to offend the gently caress out of you and portray a sense of women are sex objects; please see this advertisement, and hopefully you never buy anything from us again.



I don't think I've ever seen an advertisement that says "women are just boobs" more than this.

Okay, so I had a question regarding terminology; my mother and I were having a discussion regarding the words "transsexual" and "transgendered," and had come to a disagreement. Mom felt that one of the words had become an inappropriate/archaic term, and the other was the generally accepted one, while I had the impression that the two words meant slightly different things (last I had been told, "sex" referred to body and "gender" referred to identity). Anyone have any input on this?

As long as you are respectful about it, simply asking someone what term she and/or he prefer is your best bet. Some identify as either a man or woman. Some like to use the term "trans", which seems pretty neutral. Some don't place themselves all the way on one side or the other of the gender spectrum. Other people will want to be referred to using another term. Sex and gender are important things, but they aren't the only things that define a person. So also be aware that thinking of someone as your "transgendered friend" is very ignorant.

loving drat it, how is dress up hentai the second worse thing I've seen this month?

Fake Edit:
What would be worse: someone who made that game who just happens to have no sense of awareness, or some racist rear end in a top hat that thought "oh man I hate them injuns so much but I sure do love me some Native American fashion and I'm good at programming dress up games!"

More like: "Native American culture is just SO spiritual and beautiful, you know? This pattern really speaks to me. It's a reminder of a once great people and being one with nature, you know?"

Spoilers: this is the current attitude of many people in the fashion industry right now.

It's people repeating American history again(, but not literally taking their things)? That's even worse. :smith:

Is that making fun of people who fat shame, or is it making fun of people who are anorexic? I can't tell, because it clearly has the "don't be anorexic" after school message vibe, but then the end makes it seem like anorexia is a joke. Is this just Pewdiepie's newest gimmic: Anorexia "jokes"?

I can't even understand what the gently caress you're trying to say. This might have been funny if you weren't so bad at writing. I mean, it still wouldn't be funny, but at least it'd be readable.

Yeah, the Teen Titans cartoons are pretty good. In fact most DCAU stuff is decent at gender portrayal. Super Best Friends Forever is very girl friendly. But I genuinely can't think of any actual comic book that's girl centric and that would be appropriate for little girls.

Comic books are really bad at feminism. :(

I don't think that puppy game can qualify as a "girl game", because I believe it's a game that all young children must play. It's an educational game that teaches them the valuable life lesson that puppies are adorable.

I bought and played that game in a drunken haze, it's not for girls. It's for men. Men who want to be prepubescent anime girls. Although to its credit, it doesn't have nudity. Or its does and I missed it because I wasn't looking for it because I'm not a gross Tucker.

Despite this blatant reason not to hit start game, I did find it quite enjoyable, because it dealt with grief and emotions, had a decent amount of strategy, and had a lovable cast of jackasses.

Some of them start with a default outfit that is just the first selection of every list.

I think we should all take a moment to pause and reflect on the internalized objectification of women's bodies that is so ingrained into our culture that we don't even notice or think it's weird to be bombarded with images of questionably-aged nearly naked women in these games. And of course the games themselves contribute to this internalized objectification, because they are targeted at little girls and yet sexualize the women you're dressing up.

I agree, but I feel that your statement also seems to contain two problems with many cultures. One, that sexuality is wrong and shameful. Two, that nudity is always sexual and/or wrong. Having a healthy sexual relationship (when you're an adult) is perfectly fine, and yet so many people are either reluctant to "admit" to it or afraid to face it. Nudity is natural, but if a mother or father quickly covered herself or himself up, it would signal to the child that it is something naughty and you can never be naked. Of course, I'm probably just assuming. Also, I spent money taking a course in college, and I'm going to apply the knowledge in the real world.


Me taking an Intro to Human Sexuality class aside, I really meant: why do they start in their underwear, wouldn't they decide what to where before they took their old clothes off?

Girl games have taught me that I cannot compete with other girls. If any other girl is nearby, I cannot win a man.

Girl Games also teach us that a woman needs a man in her life, but a man can be happy without a woman, so you must compete for male attention. Because only a penis can make you happy.
