Once again, Cracked fails at video games.

If you played Tomb Raider and the thought never once crossed your mind that Lara was incredibly brave, resilient and extraordinary, you were probably super high and actually playing Crash Bandicoot. But you weren’t playing it on a console. You were playing it on a toaster.

Don’t you know?

Most of these don’t consider anything short of a emotionally repressed and violently unstable PTSD arch-tape like Sarah Connor circa T2 a strong female character.

Which by the way, her actress even said she played her as an extremely unstable and screwed up individual and not some role-model of female empowerment.  

People who exercise selective memories with female characters really piss me off. Like, heaven forbid any female character be a multi faceted, three dimensional being that is in possession of strengths AND weaknesses.

Fuck me dead.

Reblogging because “Fuck me dead”

And what was more “realistically proportioned” about her? Cuz they shrunk her chest? This shit again I swear lol.

Anyone who says “proportions were made more realistic” to mean “they made her boobs smaller” instantly earns my dislike. I guess according to these people, my natural 36J chest don’t real.

Isn’t Ellie like 13???? And was nearly sexually assaulted just before the protagonist arrives? Do smart people not get traumatized when assaulted or something?

14, and yes.

The scene in question happens right after she brutalizes the insane physcopath that held her captive and threated to rape and/or butcher her for food and was heavily implied to be about to make good on the former with a machette.

These are the same idiots that buy into Anita saying that the blurry slab of pixals they called the Scythian from Sword & Sworcery was a ‘positive example’ of female representation… when you can’t even tell the fucking character *is* female.

Ellie is a really strong character who is traumatized not just by the sexual assault but also by the fact that teh government was trying to kidnap her to take out parts of her brain in an operation that would kill her. You wanna talk about sexism in last of use? talk about them removing ellie from promotional art because they believe a game won’t sell well if a girl is on the cover. That is sexist. but ellie as a character isn’t.
