Well gosh, a smug dismissal and an appeal to the userbase? Looks like I've struck out! I think I'll go watch some female wrestling - I hear there's a new girl with boobs the size of her head! Yow!

Yeah, and the grocery store I run out of a cardboard box just had the most successful month it's ever had, too - a whole eight dollars! See you, Wal-mart! I'm getting a ton of support on r/grocery - frankly, this is going to change the grocery store industry.

Not the industry's problem (assuming it's true)! There's a world of difference between some folks on Reddit talking and the viewership of a channel or group of channels! Viewership is a very objective thing. You keep dodging the question: If it isn't in the industry's best interest to...

Curses, foiled again! I'll get you next time, userbase of warioforums.com! NEXT TIIIIIIiiiime..!

Shit! I don't have to give my trophy back, do I?

Yahoo! I win the thread! Did I do you proud, Wario? This is what you wanted, isn't it!?

It quite literally, objectively does, and your "progression" just seems to be... getting rid of something you don't like? If you don't believe me, feel free to tell whoever employs these chicks your view. I'm sure they'll agree, and reconsider the entire business! If participating in a...

Again - the proof is that we're having this conversation. There wouldn't be sexualization if sexualization didn't make money. Why else would they show it on TV? See above!

That's the biz! Sorry - businesses aren't in it to make you feel good.

Again - they wouldn't do it if there wasn't a reason for them to! I think the fact that we're having this argument at all proves my point well enough. That's a quite a large statement! Any proof on that? I doubt the channels that air female wrestling would agree with you!

Not an argument, unfortunately! Being "a great wrestler" and being "worthy of precious TV time" are two very different things!

No study, sadly - you'll just have to take the entirety of the female wrestling industry (or the model industry, the music industry, etc etc.) as proof. I mean, if sexualizing the wrestlers (models, artists, etc.) doesn't bring in the moolah, why else would they be doing it?

Well then I guess we as a society haven't """progressed""" to the point where the people who make sexualization profitable stop, then! I can promise you - the entertainment industry will immediately cease production of anything that doesn't yield a profit. And that's their goal - profit! You can...

When games like Solvalou start becoming financially viable I'll let you know!

You're right! That is my entire argument. It's how industry works!

Uh, you're asking me to read through a report you only "vaguely skimmed"? How do you know it even proves your point? But I'll humour you and say the report 100% proves your claim. It's not like it changes anything - sexualization of the female form has existed since the dawn of man, and will...

Well, y'know, gotta respect your elders! Namco had a huge influence on the early game industry (I hate using that term) and I think they've earned the right to endlessly rerelease their back catalogue for new generations to enjoy (and by "new generations" I mean "retro game enthusiasts" and by...

1) Gonna need some hard evidence on that one! 2) So? Are women as a whole against sexualization of the female form in entertainment? Are even most women against the sexualization of the female form in entertainment? Because if they all are then I've got some very bad news for them! Well gosh, I...

But Namco's 2D arcade games are great...! I'd even go so far as to consider them *gulp* shining examples of the medium!

Who are the "people affected"? The women doing said wrestling? I mean, it's not like they didn't specifically choose to take up the career of female wrestling! Maybe in a world where the WWE grabbed chicks off the street and held them at knifepoint to do a job they didn't want to do, there'd be...
