in liberal, capitalist democracies women are subjected to patriarchy in a similar fashion to how advanced AI programs will be suppressed?
@flaakmonkey the kotaku time stamp is for yesterday at 5PM. That's less than one day ago. Settle down.
Looking at that side view of her though you can see their point.
I want Sterling to say she'd get a portion.

J/K I'm just glad this guy gets some front page attention, his art and explanation blew me away.

@Steamy V, ok I get it.
And to comment on the topic at hand for once today, Valve is ingenious but I truly doubt however they saw this pick and its one of the pure coincidences. Still very funny though.

I enjoyed the article and he made a couple valid points, but I really think he's reading too much into it.
@Flaakmonkey
I truly doubt it's coincidental, in the guys article he even talks about how he got some of it from the commentary. He didn't go in depth and I haven't listened to it so I don't know how much but still that's a dead ringer for an upside down bondage woman.

It does look like the picture, but the picture was drawn to look like the robot so... I really see where he's coming from here, but it sort of draws from several ideas coming from thin air. Also, what are those three white balls representing? They don't match up with the bondage. Also, what the hell kind of straight jacket job is that anyway? I fear the internet is going to kill Portal very soon.
Crazy, I've seen GlaDOS a quite a few times, but seeing it next to that picture, I can see the goddamn woman.
Whoa. Normally I would just chalk this up to a male sexual fantasy, but I can definitely see the resemblance as well. That points to several conclusions, and all but one scare me. o.O
Holy shit, I just took a second look at the first picture... It really does look like the second picture. O_O
Pareidolia, people. Pareidolia.
The artists rendition surely gives it more sexual overtones than the actual Glad0s structure does, in my opinion. The cyborg body in the left hand screenshot is more curled up than hanging. Also the blindfold/mouthgag/headphones aren't really there, I don't think.
But, thats just my opinion. I'm pretty interested that they found a body in that structure, I never saw it before!

Yeah, I noticed that not too long ago as well. I never noticed the body resembling structure. That's awesome.
Now that I've actually read the article (Hooray!) it is quite the interesting observation that ties into some aspects apparently heard in the director's commentary; something about how they were modeling GlaDOS after a painting of Venus or a similar inspiration.
It's certainly a unique take, of a jailer that is as much a prisoner as the prisoner herself, and makes quite a different impression than what I thought of the game (I have yet to actually play it, but you know how the internet works). Unless I actually see something by one of the designers stating this was their intent, though, it's just one more possible interpretation regardless of how much meaning you see in it.
Not that it's a bad interpretation, I really like it, but it annoys me when people see something on one level and then latch onto that like it's the only possible meaning.

@AngelsDontBurn:
"If this is was GlaDOS would look like. I wonder what the turrets would look like."
"Are you still there?"

I don't particularly agree with the "suicide" approach.
The writer seemed to have been influenced by his idea of GlaDOS wanting to die, when interpreting Still Alive. And tried to make the whole song work in his view. It felt shoehorned in my opinion.
You can change anything to have more meaning than it actually does. OR add new meaning that never existed in the first place.

Overanalysis at its lovely finest. Still, I never would have noticed that it's like a body without seeing that picture.
That's actually pretty cool, in a creepy depressing kind of way. I wouldn't mind if the story is actually more reminiscent of that.
