Why is there a link to a related story called Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas cheats?
IS IT 2004 AGAIN?? HAVE I GONE BACK IN TIME??
Next thing you know Neil Stapel will whine about this game being offensive because it objectifies grown up women, which her daughter will be in 10 years.
"Where's the fun in that?" - Jim Sterling. I'll refer you to the Bloodhound Gang classic "A Lap Dance Is So Much Better When the Stripper is Crying"
LOL. This is great they just flat out ask you what your age is. They don't even ask for a birth day.
They don't look like they're enjoying themselves in a sexual situation and you're NOT saying this is connected to rape culture? Ok.
I don't see how it's radical feminism to think that women deserve to be treated with respect.

"They don't look like they're enjoying themselves in a sexual situation and you're NOT saying this is connected to rape culture? Ok."
A woman choosing to do something they're not enjoying is not connected to rape in any way. If they were being forced to do it, then yeah, but they're not.
"I don't see how it's radical feminism to think that women deserve to be treated with respect."
Never said it was, but it's the radical feminists who are going to hate on it, while most other women will probably just ignore it as stupid.

OK so you've essentially set up your own little set of rules, any female that pays attention to this must be a radical feminist? That seems a bit unfair.
As for the women, you claim they're not being "forced" to do it. Equally, we don't know that they weren't (their implied discontent supports the latter more than the former but regardless, we just don't know). I'm not saying the makers are rape apologists, but clearly, female sexual autonomy is not something they completely value.

Now I think this post is offencive to people who like their women to look unhappy while being undressed.
Sure you, and I, and many others would prefer a chick to be happy to be getting naked, some devia.... people like to see unhappy chicks being forced to get nekkid and those people deserve to life their life without this kind of outrageous ridicule...
... don't they?

I totally agree with the first comment... can't read the text! This is obviously an attempt to stop old ladies with bifocals from reading Destructoid! Next thing you know you'll be blaring rap music from the site!
(oh, and I also can't comment on ANY of the c-blogs... did a post in site support about it, but yeah, still not working for me.)
As to the duke... it's strip poker, not a big deal really. If you lose, YOU have to strip. Meh, it's not gonna do their marketing any good as it comes across as a bit stupid - and not like absolutely totally largely stupid which would be better for selling Duke.

I've not set up my rules anymore than you have. We all have a personal way of looking at things. I believe it's the radical feminists who will write huge blog posts about this, and get really furious. I also believe most other women will simply rolls their eyes. A fair few might find it funny, too. I don't think it's "unfair" to suggest that the radical feminists will be the ones who won't let this go. I'm merely going by the precedent that's been set in the past.
My first sentence in the article didn't mean to imply that ONLY radical feminists could be pissed off. It's a reference to the fact that Gearbox is ALREADY hated by that division of people, and it seems to be reveling in it.
As for the "were they forced?" angle. No, we cannot rule out the possibility that Randy Pitchford is off-camera with a loaded gun pointed at the women's faces, but do we really think that's what happened? I never said they looked scared or uncomfortable. I just said they weren't enjoying themselves, which is more about the fact that they're getting paid and are going through the motions, not that they're upset or about to cry. They're not into it, is all I meant.
My thing about "rape culture" was a separate joke, anyway. That was about women being undressed after being "defeated", and the potential way one could twist that to imply something darker.

If you're playing strip poker and you lose a round and have to take off a piece of clothing are you going to "look like you're enjoying it"? I'm pretty sure these models were directed to look pouty and unhappy since their removing a piece of clothing is the consequence for LOSING a competitive match. People don't generally enjoy losing.
... And why/how would these women have been forced to do this? I'm betting they were probably paid pretty well for a short modeling shoot that included them baring their bosoms.
No offense or anything, just seems like you're reading way too much into this silly little flash game that has some naked breasts in it.

Are you serious? You really think it's possible that Gearbox forced these women to do this? You've got to be trolling. Or a fox news employee. Christ. Why don't you sue them for it.

You know what I love?
Reverse sexism.
Because that "opressed female" point of view had existed so long that a double standard exists in favor of women being able to do/say pretty much whatever the hell they want without fear of consequence or having a bunch of radical hateful cunts jump down their throats.
Life is unfair. Everybody thinks they deserve some sort of special treatment. Guess what?
NO ONE DOES.

The interwebs is a funny place. In this case you fire your load and then the women strip. Mostly it's the other way around - women strip, then you fire your load. *shrugs*
My wife never looks like she's enjoying herself when I'm making sex to her, but that's probably because she's usually asleep at the time.
I agree with the with the not liking the new changes
Grey is hard to read
Too much clutter to get to the comments section, which is where the meat of Destructoid is.
I don't like what they did with blogs sidebar. I liked it better when if a blog got 5+ faps it would stay on the sidebar. For my last monthly musing I had 2 people tell me they don't normally read blogs, but they knew the game I was talking about so the sidebar caught their attention, and they decided to read my blog. It's nice that the promoted blogs have been given a spotlight again, but they already had their time to shine when they were promoted. It's not fair that the blog sidebar automatically defaults to show their stuff while new blogs get less attention. I also don't like how the blog and forum buttons have been moved all the way to the right. I think all of this was done to better integrate the Destructoid communities, but it's actually doing the opposite.
I'm not super worried about any of this though. Dtoid listens to us, and they don't force us deal with unwanted change like other sites do.

I've seen a lot of complaints about the comments. Please bear with our Dtoid engineers as they're still tinkering. I've expressed your concerns regarding the comments because they're pretty dang grey!

Well in this case isn't this sort of double standard justified? White guys have pretty much been ruling shit for a while now. And only since 1919 have women (U.S.) gotten the right to vote. And even since then they still don't make equal pay to men, still have the glass ceiling and still are expected to be a mom and have a career. Shit is not easy, so this type of standard is ok and maybe even necessary. Your right life isn't fair, why not try to balance it out?

Honestly, I got a real kick out of this. One of the girls was exceedingly awkward, but they were all entertaining in the "loss scenario" videos and I've seen more than a few shooting gallery games that didn't bother implementing multiple game types.
Surely, this will upset some people. That's half the point by this juncture.

I have no interest trying to change a doomed world. The overwhelming majority of it's denizens are content to cry foul at every little injustice an expect to get what they want as if it's their right. I will do nothing for those who won't help themselves.

I agree its a doublestandard I would go as far as to say feminism has become more about keeping all the pros of being female and letting men feel guilty. If all woman and men are to be seen equal we should also not feel like having to be a womans knight in shining armor on these subjects.
It has become a form of oppressing men by playing into our guilt whenever such a person feels injustice has been done on their behalf. In a free soceity above such things shouldnt we applaud women who do a job they wanna do. If that is taking their clothes off so be it women in these times should not be seen as weak.
They made their money maybe they had to look like they didnt enjoy it they were losing after all...on the other hand its safe to assume they applied to do the job out of their own free will and got paid.
And you know what i support the free will of any individual person male or female to do the job they want and get paid for it. And definitely a whole lot more then any feminist movement who feels these girls should have turned down work to support their imo outdated agenda.
Instead of looking at it as weak girls getting naked, look at it as girls who did a job. Cause honestly anyone putting a feminist spin on this must see these girls as weak. One would think thats a bit like being a hypocrite....cause if men and woman should be treated equal in your mind them taking a job is their own right. And imo isnt that what equal treatment is all about? Having choices and making those choices for yourself...

@ShotgunDiplom4t: Tough shit, now it's the men's turn to get discriminated :D
I'm a woman and I laugh at this game. Everyone knows Duke Nukem is for silly sexist fun; who cares?
