Game designers put their action heroines in high heels specifically to make them more sexualized in combat. It’s tiresome and ridiculous.

There is a time and place for high heels but running, jumping and battlefield scenarios are not it. That’s just pandering to male fantasies.

High heels are immobilizing. They can also cause serious nerve and joint damage. Why do game designers want that for their female heroes? :P

@femfreq plays a game with magic and sorcerers but complains the footwear is unrealistic. -
@raygootz she brings it up is to show that there's no other reason to put it in. People often defend dumb stuff by saying its realistic -
@jezzamonn while she's at it she might as well point out Mario should wear armor and carry a gun. -
@raygootz the point isn't "oh games should realistic". See if you can think about it and figure out what the point is -
@jezzamonn it's not like this is Lara croft in heels. If you accept they have magic accept the heels. Shed reaching to criticize. - 3 more replies

@majora_luna 2/2 as a means to not include POC characters or to have characters shout gendered slurs at women characters -

@majora_luna should metacritic only allow people who can prove that they've made video games to rate other video games?

@femfreq But it is a fantasy game using the "historically accurate" argument is not able to be applied. -
@MrRoberts666 I believe that she is responding to people using "historical accuracy" to not put in POC
