Misogynistic and creepy or fun and liberating...or both?

Just click on her and drag. See, it was the “playing” with her I thought was satanic…or at least playing a not so benevolent god…

And I wasn’t completely in earnest about the misogyny. It just that it was my SO that showed it to me, because he likes playing with women. But that because he’s a sadist and heterosexual not because he’s misogynist :slight_smile: .

Ya know what would be awesome? Bush, Osama, and Paris all falling at once!

Maybe you could put Michael Jackson in there too.

I can only get the original to work . The others just open up a blank white page .

It is strangly compelling to watch her fall . I would like to see the other games , too .

Just fucking weird.

I don’t think it actually IS misogynistic, but after a minute or so I started feeling guilty in case it was. Or something.

I think it’s a little misogynist. Why is she in undies if she wasn’t being somehow sexualized? And who sexualizes a completely passive woman (who some have mistaken as dead) who can be manipulated with your mouseclicks and lives in a world where every action causes pain?

Creepy. Compelling. But creepy.

And now that there’s a Paris Hilton version, dozens of people are sure to write gender studies papers about it. :wink:

Probably because it was easier than rendering an entire outfit, but at least the bikini was keeping her covered.

I have my doubts that it’s sexist/misogynistic. This looks like something I would do, and certainly without spite for my own sex. I used to go to a website where you could build your own little 3D models, experiment with gravity, and let them loose to see what would happen. You could build things that moved very life-like, or very unnatural. They could float, fall, get hit and react, walk on their own, pull on a limb to “jerk” the object around, etc. You couldn’t put a skin on it, you just saw the basic framework of what you made, but honestly, this falling bunch of girl-shaped pixels reminds me very strongly of those little experiments, just with skin. Creepiness aside, I think they did a pretty good job.

I don’t read much into it being a woman. Perhaps the designer was experimenting with making breasts? That takes extra vertices. Maybe it was an experiment gone wrong, and the result was amusing enough to share, if a little creepy.

Was that Sodaplay.com, Anastasaeon? It’s very cool, although I could never build something that could walk longer than 8 seconds.

SODAPLAY!

No, that wasn’t it :smiley: but that site was a LOT of fun (and similar to the site I mentioned), and after I wrote this post, I was beating my brain trying to remember that name! Thank you!

The other site had a weird name, as well, which I also cannot remember. :frowning: My computer crashed a couple of weeks ago, and I lost all my bookmarks. That’s what I get for being lazy.

Now there is a disturbing mental image!

Rendering her skin is just as difficult as rendering an outfit.

Well, certainly not as difficult as rendering a flowing robe or something, but to just “skin” her in clothes like Bush or Bono is the same thing.

I definitely see this as misogynistic and fun. But not creepy or liberating.

You are right. I stand humbly corrected.

I still don’t find it misogynistic, though. Kind of kinky, maybe… but that’s how my mind works. :stuck_out_tongue:
