      Ciri & the sorceresses in Witcher 3 wear high heels but historically they were men’s fashion. If anything Geralt should be the one in heels.

      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 it's not like this is Lara croft in heels. If you accept they have magic accept the heels. Shed reaching to criticize.

          @OrionKidder I hope you launch a campaign to get Mario to wear sneakers. Workshoes are not meant for that much running.

          @raygootz Sneakers and work shoes don't have sexual/gendered implications. Don't change the subject.

          @femfreq Because it accentuates and lifts the bottom. (But y'all knew that.)

          @femfreq Same reason the characters don't get infested with random fleas and ticks when traveling through the woods; because reality sucks.

          @PTKrieg @femfreq There's a thing called "acceptable breaks from reality", and heels on armor ain't one of them.

          @MaxwellElvis @femfreq Am aware of the term, but "acceptable" is relative. Heels bother me much less than boob windows in armor, for ex.
