Blowing kiss emote

It's come to my attention, by my boyfriend, that some chick is saying the blowing kiss emote is sexist... And that men can some how sexually harras women online now.... Okay ... Let me get my laughs out first. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha Okay I'm good. [b]I'm a female[/b] And I have the blowing kiss emote to tease the guys who make a stink about me being a girl. I think it's funny. Nor would I feel harrased if some dude kept throwing that emote at me. The sheer thought that this would create MORE sexism is just ludacris. I get harrased more on COD than Destiny and when I do get "sexualized" in any manner on Destiney 9 times out of 10 it's some immature little kid thinking he's being funny and other players tell him to get wrecked. That's it. We put him in his place with a sarcastic demeaning responce and it ends it. I also play better than them too ;P but that's not the point. Anyways... Not to get off topic but we have a lot more pressing matters to tend to about sexism than -blam!-in emotes. And quite honestly complaining about something so minniscule is making the female population look like a bunch of whiners. You don't hear men bitching about male characters looking overly ripped. It's hot. And so it half naked chicks. I highly doubt Destiny sat in their meeting room and was like... "Hmm how can we make females feel targeted? Oh I know! Blowing a kiss. Yup. That'll get them." Come on. Have a sense of humor. Okay rant done. Questions... Concerns... Trolls... You know what to do!! Comment below.

    • Did no one get the Formal Bow emote or whatever it was called? That right there is probably the best emote

      Blow kiss is my favorite emote. I blow kisses to anyone and everyone. In the tower, a part of me hopes it just messes with people's minds. Like when I do it on my male hunter, do they get creeped out that another guy is doing it? When I'm on my female warlock, and since my PSN doesn't give away my gender, do they think it's an actual girl blowing them kisses? Lmao I have too much fun with it. I blow kisses to oryx, dead teammates, when I get on the hive ship and sail away from teammates, in PVP after giving people the sauce.

    • As a straight man, I will get offended if a male character will blow me a kiss and I will report you.

        • While I agree, I commonly just blow a kiss in the tower for no reason, but every Damn time I female character walks in front of me and my immediate thought is "oh no... Now I'm that creepy guy...." Beyond that it's a ritual for exotics when I'm farming. Blow a kiss to the boss for luck

                • If you think you're getting "harassed" online you're a dumbass plain and simple. People that attempt to "harass" , are most likely those little ass white kids that wear under armour long sleeves with vans shorts and listen to breaking Benjamin and linkin park and probably have the ESPN app still bookmarked on their daddy's otterbox covered iPhone 4s while they yell on the mic because they can't get a raid team to carry them through oryx while they cover they're controllers with dorito grease.

                    • The blowing kiss emote is the best for PvP. I killed a sunbreaker right after he activated his super with my nightstalker before he could get one kill with it. Blew him a kiss before running off.

                      • Just another case of people being too overly sensitive in this world. Everything has to be so politically correct now a days.

                        They're just one of those people who fish for a usually non-existant controversy in everything. Sexism-baiters. Just like that hilarious Destiny pick-up line thread that finally got taken down after a long time yesterday. It was hilarious, and my female friends found it hilarious as well. But some people had to be zero sense of humor prudes and declare sexism.

                        • I feel women tend to over analyze things for hidden meanings. That's why there so many online thins about crazy girlfriends who want their boyfriend's phone, because they're over analyzing. The same has happened now with the emote. Some people just want to be pissed about something, and want to be discriminated against as a way to get attention. This kiss is the unfortunate victim of some attention grabbing people.

                            I get a kick out of that emote she blowing kisses that dude Blowing kisses. Honestly it not that bad action of anger over small matter what dumb. Hell that like saying the female dance is sexist for what looking good dancing yea no. Some people are never happy unless its their way. Ill be fair i tryed that emote as a troll and had the best day ever iv notice though. When the character bends they put their left hand on the butt lol.
