dullaidan:

there’s a prom at hope’s peak

kirigiri forcefully dresses up naegi in the nicest tux possible, and groans when she has to tie his tie for him. she basically plots from start to finish how they will spend their evening and naegi just kinda nods and goes along with it

togami tells fukawa he’s going to go, so she decides to attend as well and gets a really adorable little black dress. he skips out and fukawa just sits on the side all night (however, everyone agrees that she looks excellent in her dress and it makes her feel better)

ishimaru waits by the door IN HIS SCHOOL UNIFORM and searches everyone for illegal items and then allows them inside. he does not once move from this position.

mondo wears this beat-up old suit thats probably a hand-me-down and might smell funny, and he takes chihiro dress shopping. they buy a really long dress but he tells them that he can get chihi some slacks and a vest if they’d like.

hifumi doesnt go to prom because he thinks it’d just a waste of a good evening that could be spent being a productive comic artist. he watches a whole half an anime season.

celes arrives wearing the ritziest dress money can buy, covered in rubies and diamonds and jet. to show how she doesnt care she then goes to see how many people she can piss off/how many people will throw their drinks at her in anger

leon attempts to go with sayaka, but the mere THOUGHT of dancing with her makes him sweat a whole lot. she still dances with him though, just… with as little contact between them as possible. leon cries afterwards.

aoi wants to go, but can’t arrive until late because of a swim meet. she’s in a short little dress and cannot walk in heels. she promptly falls flat on her face.

hagakure forgot prom was even that night and says it was because he experienced a brief time lapse where he found himself in 16th century colonial america

junko doesnt go to prom to dance, she goes to laugh at everyone’s horrendous fashion sense and over-the-top make up.

sakura is crowned prom queen.

The game industry doesn't want female heroes - Jim Sterling, Destructoid

The game industry doesn't want female heroes - Jim Sterling, Destructoid:

Remember Me is currently in development under the watchful eye of Capcom, but the story of a woman who can “remix” peoples’ memories had to do a lot of fighting to exist. According to creative director Jean-Max Morris, the industry at large hated the idea of a female protagonist.

“We had some [publishers] that said, ‘Well, we don’t want to publish it because that’s not going to succeed. You can’t have a female character in games. It has to be a male character, simple as that,’” he told Penny Arcade. “We wanted to be able to tease on Nilin’s private life, and that means for instance, at one point, we wanted a scene where she was kissing a guy. We had people tell us, ‘You can’t make a dude like the player kiss another dude in the game, that’s going to feel awkward.’

“I’m like, ‘If you think like that, there’s no way the medium’s going to mature.’ There’s a level of immersion that you need to be at, but it’s not like your sexual orientation is being questioned by playing a game. I don’t know, that’s extremely weird to me.”

I’ve never really thought about the whole kissing thing, but he’s right. Women are overtly sexualized in many videogames, but they’re rarely allowed to be sexual. Sure, have your female avatar swing massive boobs around in bikini battle armor, but if she dares to show physical interest in somebody? Oh, the scandal!

That, right there, is objectification at work. Having a female character exist for our saucy gratification, but not ever being allowed to reciprocate, initiate or otherwise become an active participant. Outside of games where players can create their own characters, I don’t think I’ve actually seen a playable female protagonist kiss a guy in a game…

We recently saw BioShock Infinite’s Elizabeth relegated to the back cover of the game case, for fear that the presence of a woman would turn consumers away. Naughty Dog also recalled a similar situation, where it had to fight to have a woman appear on the cover of The Last of Us. There’s something eminently shuddersome about the message that sends, a message that suggests women have their uses, but are best kept locked away with the rest of the tools until they’re required. It’s the kind of situation that puts an itchy feeling under the skin.

There are some who argue sexism isn’t a problem in the game industry, but I don’t know how a rational person could see this kind of stuff and not admit, even grudgingly, that it exists in abundance. When publishers are trying to eradicate female protagonists or hiding the womenfolk away lest an audience be turned off, there’s some ill sentiment at play. Whether the fault of the industry itself or the audience, there is a fault, and it’s a downright unsettling one at that.

And if you’d be seriously upset by seeing a female lead kiss a guy in a game, you’re emotionally broken.
