Female Discrimintion in AoC

Not only do the females in this game treat females like male characters, offering themselves to you and all, but they do less damage as well.

On top of that, the ONE quest in the game that is different for males and females, the female toon ends up offering herself to some drunk beggar, the male toon equivalent punches him in the face.

If the male and female toons damage was going through the same systems in the game loop than there is no numerical way that these damage differences would show up.

It is clear however that the damage of female toons and the damage of male toons must go through a different system. even if that system is (if FEMALE){ attackSpeed = attackSpeed * .75;}

or something similiar, it's still a different system.

Judging by the in game attitudes of most of the females and the fact that female toons do less damage then male toons, AND where the team that made AoC is from, I would have to say don't hold your breath for a patch on this.

If you want realism then don't play a video game, go outside and do it for real.

funcom = sexist

Hahaha its getting stupid. I agree the game has to be balanced but to call it sexism when it is the same in reality....oh my. Natures a sexist!

I have no idea what this game is, but I do know that it was designed by human beings. Humans are natural, ie: part of nature. They have drives that are 'natural', buried deep within. Those drives are bound to be expressed in part at least in the 'games' we divise.

Nature not only recognises differences between the sexes, it friggin' put them there.

Of course nature is sexist.

If they want to be realistic the stats for male characters would be significantly higher.

The game is "Age of Conan"....The programmers explained the damage difference with different animation time but I think they just don´t want to be called sexist anymore even though it is the most un-sexist thing to do.

sexism is a feminit word

if there was only one sex it would be redundant and meaningless
but the sexes are different and there are strengths and weaknesses to contrast the two

to give these various strengths and weaknesses a political meaning is just part of the feminit chop logic and should be given no credence at all

when it suits their cause the feminits are silent but they resent the achievements and benefits of men who achieve high office by dint of hard work and long hours

Me too !!! argh

glass ceilings lower pay blah blah blea blea why shouldn't they have the same remuneration as the executive working towards his heart attack

are wimin glamouring to be Marines at the beach head or other death risk theatres of war

that is a rhetorical question

Games are an easy target these days. I'm really not shocked this came up, I am kinda shocked it hasn't came up before. Silly feminists and their silly attacks on nothing.

It's amazing how we can look at these things so differently isn't it?

We look at it and think "It's silly to have female barbarians holding their own with the men because think of the difference in bodymass/size/culture here".

And feminists look at it and think "Dirty pig men"

Very true. I'm sure if the situation was reversed they would still complain because complaining is what they seem to enjoy doing.
