Let me preface this post and say I'm not looking for attention and I'm not a feminist (I'm a male) by any means.
Clearly the females in our community feel inferior to blow the whistle on this topic, and I don't blame them for the unnecessary backlash they'd receive. Well, I'm not a female; I'm a guardian. I will NOT tolerate any sexist remarks so if you're here just to troll: get lost.
In Destiny, of course you make "create" a female character, but other than the quirky dance moves can you REALLY differentiate a male and female guardian in the heat of battle? No.. Of course not. And this is what's wrong with the game.
Why is EVERY Guardians "kill" inherently phallic and misogynystic? Why aren't there any weapons, special powers, or grenades that represent the woman? It doesn't have to be glitter, cupcakes and ponies, but something as simple as a pink aura during a female Titan slam would be pretty bad ass.
Before you guys get all creepy and pervy, just think about our fellow lady gamer's rights.

Screw political correctness.

This is cringe worthy. Screen capped

That would be cool, like if I jumped rainbows would come out of my... boots.

Gee two posts by the same retard. There's a special place in hell for people like you.

This is the most retarded thing I've read today

Ummm what???? The armor of each gender is differentiated in its shape. Wider shoulders for males, more box like frame overall. Enhanced bosom shape in females and more slender legs. Available armor colors include varying combinations of reds, pinks, yellows, purples; all colors traditionally considered "feminist". Main Female vs Male Characters in the game (I'm using speaking roles in cutscenes and voiceovers as criteria for "main character"): Ikora, Eris, Petra, Mara, the Stranger vs the Speaker, Zavalla, Cayde, Variks, Mara Sovs Brother. Can't get much more balanced than 50/50 split. Guns.....Sorry Guns are guns. They are tools neither feminine nor masculine. Abilities- 1/3 of all abilities hue purple-traditional feminine color. 1/3 hue blue-traditional male color. 1/3 hue orange-non gendered color. Sorry but your entire original post is simply false. In fact Destiny is probably one of the most gender neutral in its in game design than any other mainstream title available. It's patently put together with representation from both sides considered. I hope your trolling otherwise just wow...

1 AntwortenSo.... Make the gender's equal by making them different? Genius.

They have no "rights" in videogames kid. Get lost

Hooray for gender roles and stereotypes. What if I like my fist of panic blue? If you're going to suggest changing ability effect colors, have it so everyone can change them.

Go back to tumblr you cancerous f*ck

Obvious troll.

Do you realize how asinine your post is or are you just that good if a troll? Let's create gender equality by make female space soldiers more feminine! Because difference is equality amrite? You have to be trolling lol
-
Completely disagree?
-
They are equal and you are proposing to add differences. Just stop
-
I'm fairly sure you don't know what gender equality means, nor do you know that you are, in fact, a feminist. Equality=everyone is treated the same. Feminists, in the popular internet form of the personality, want special treatment for women. You want women to get something makes don't have, ie, you are an Internet feminist.

You a good troll. Give him some milk, everybody.

What if girls like the blue lightning?
