Minor point, but I believe the reverse of Stockholm Syndrome is Lima Syndrome. Granted, it doesn't come up all that often, but...

More to the point, Dobson is implying because it's sexist looking, her character sucks by default.

Dobby, let me take you back to MGS1 for a second and talk about Sniper Wolf.

She was a Kurdish woman who wore a sluttified version of a military outfit that was really freaking impractical on the battlefield (it exposed a lot of her chest in freezing weather) who was stated to have a complex for being both the seducer and seduced regarding her sniper targets.

But did this make her a bad character?

Hell no.

First off, she was quite aware of why she had that look, it was part of using her feminine charms to lower a man's guard so she could kill them. Also, the being easily seduced bit was done in the sense her dedication to her target's became a form of inverse Stockholm Syndrome that made her MORE effective because her dedication to doing her job right was just that damn high.

Throw in the fact she was still a very good sniper no matter what, and you have both a woman with a "sexist" appearance that was deliberately invoked yet has a good, story based reason behind it that makes perfect sense in light of the writing.

The Phantom Pain isn't out yet, I'll wait till it is to pass judgment on whether the same applies to Quiet, but a woman with obvious sex appeal doesn't mean she's written badly from the get go, only if her character has no other reason for that to exist or be justified in some way.

Seriously, my blue bear (and balled) friend, you need to go back to Writing 101 after having an opinion that stupid.

However please ignore MGS4 and the stupid Beauty and the Beast shit. Those were just dumb.
 
To be perfectly honest, I don't care much for the MGS series. But since my dilemma is essentially a video game series I mildly dislike vs Andrew Dobson, there's no contest when it comes to the side I'll support.

I've heard the argument Kojima was parodying himself with that nonsense, but even then, yeah, it still pretty stupid.

However, I doubt Dobson would be able to tell the difference between cringe inducing possible parody and competent writing, since all he's spewing is standard SJW anti-sexism bulletpoints while being blind to his own hypocrisy.

Wait, on that premise, he fits in pretty well with the SJW crowd then. If so, carry on Dobby.

Hey guys, maybe I'm late or something, so forgive me if this has been posted before, but is this a new one on his Patreon?

I think it is.

BUt I think we all know the outcome of this- It'll just be a basket.

So, Dobson has shifted from bashing Batman to bashing Kojima. Any bets on what he's gonna bash next?

More Trump and then whoever the republican candidate is. I'm guessing the police is due for another totally-innocent-poor-negro-killing so there's also that. Art thievery coming up in about three weeks. Then you could just check what dudebro or "problematic" games/movies are being released, that's gonna be a few rants each. The possibilities are practically endless.

Not that i don't think Sniper Wolf is badass and i don't want her as my waifu, but I always thought it was kinda dumb that she, being a sniper and all, not only announces that she's there at the start of the battle, but also gives away her position as soon as the fight starts. But she's still cool and a better feminist than Dobson and Wu combined.
 
What really gets me is how Dobson calls himself "a grump" on Twitter.

Most of the time the character of a grouchy yet lovable person exist only in the realm of fiction. Being an obnoxious whiner isn't one bit charming in real life.

Usually the lovable grouchy character in fiction has some redeeming quality like being very generous or loyal. Dobson has none.

Eh, video game logic. Stuff has gotta happen a certain way for a game to work.

Well there's some implication that she was subconsciously suicidal ("I finally understand. I wasn't waiting to kill people... I was waiting for someone to kill me.) so the whole "giving away position" thing may have actually been deliberate.

Of course, Dobbo would probably rage that she didn't just lesbian kick Snake, take over as the main character, get with Meryl and never have any problems ever again.
 
Why isn't there a "well said" rating option, or is that for premium users? I could give such a rating for anyone criticizing Dobson.
