So I played through Arkham City and barely even noticed the word "bitch" being used. - General

Heck if it weren't for the gawker media outcry, I would have noticed it even less. Most of the speaking is just "It's the cat!" "It's Catwoman!" etc. Yet reports made it sound like every line of dialogue about her was "bitch".

I think the sexist stuff was a little overemphasized in reviews. Yes, they call her bitch sometimes. Yes, she only uses half her zipper. Yes, heels are impractical. But it wasn't [I]that[/I] bad.

Catwoman was always about using her sex appeal to distract her enemies, even in the comics that's how it was.. She was also called a bitch plenty of times back then.. The media is just being retarded and looking for something to cry about.

[QUOTE=theLazyLion;34676347]The media is just being retarded and looking for something to cry about.[/QUOTE] Was it also the real media or just gawker or blog type stuff like kotaku or gizmodo? For once I am actually glad the "real" media has gatekeepers.

It's Catwoman man.

If this was, say, Hawk Girl or some shit maybe people would have a point. But it's Catwoman for christ's sake.

I just barely noticed the language period. It's like those reviewers didn't play the game and just listened to all the audio tracks extracted from the game's files.

I'm glad they didn't over-do her bust size. Gives more emphasis on dat ass when sneaking.

Oh god, not this kind of stupid shit again.

[QUOTE=Tetsmega;34685592]I'm glad they didn't over-do her bust size. Gives more emphasis on dat ass when sneaking.[/QUOTE] I'm actually proud of them for not doing that. Most things love making women over busted. I also don't think she was slutty, she seems like the type that would resist some guy hitting on her.

[QUOTE=BrainDeath;34691933]Please read these guys. Thoroughly.[/QUOTE] Those were some of the stuff I read before I had the game. That and RPS, random gaming journalism (lmao), etc.

I read all of that in a yelling voice.

[QUOTE=The Baconator;34676293]Yeah and her cleavage wasn't that overdone, heck in the cutscenes/dialogue scenes it's not even that noticeable, even a bit flat looking from the many angles.[/QUOTE] She should have been in the kitchen more often.

Maybe she would have been called a bitch more if she was Dogwoman. But no, she is Catwoman.

I always would say this game, and video games in general, aren't even close to as misogynistic allot of TV and movies are.
