In FromSoft games it's the complete opposite.

If you’re designing games for the male gaze, the gender select screen is basically β€œare you here for the ooh-ra, or the a-woo-ga?”

What if you’re designing for the male gays?

Listening to pro tennis makes me think that they are actually accurate

[–] [email protected] 87 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Nah, it's pretty much the right side for both.

Can't remember what I was playing but I started getting attacked when I thought I was in a safe spot and got up to grab something from the fridge; the getting hurt sounds my dude was making sounded like he was taking cock like a champ.

Dark Souls 1 male voice is like "OOooaahh" when taking damage, pretty funny

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Dark souls 1 maybe? The male character just enjoys pain im sure about that!

When I see these memes, I always rememmber Unreal Tournament 99, where female death sounds are decidedly unsexy, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEv6IB2TRAQ%3Ft%3D444 starting at 7:24

Maybe because of that "throat vibration" effect? I wonder if they got it right on the first try, or had a first draft and had to scrap it and come up with sounds that couldn't be mistaken for anything else

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago

Props to them. That sounds like a woman dying in a very unsexy way.

A women being hurt 9 times of 10 is screaming. Imagine how annoying that'd be in a game.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The "women are always screaming" stereotype is sexist. It's a direct extension of the pseudoscientific hysteria diagnosis that used to be commonly accepted. "A women," as you put it, might scream, and you might find that annoying. Women as a category have higher pitched voices on average, and the line between "reasonable yelling" and "hysterical screaming" is often just one of pitch, even when the cause for alarm or injury is the same.

Additionally, neither I nor any of the women in my life "scream" in response to injury. We yell in pain just like someone with a masculine voice, if a bit higher pitched. Some may, but it's not common and is usually reserved for situations of extreme alarm or fear, or occasionally excitement. Any time a woman does scream on video, you always see someone in the comments complaining about how annoying women screaming is. The same is never said about men screaming, unless they scream "like a girl."

9/10 times. How out of touch are you?

they're a lemmy.ml user, so the answer is usually 'very'

Let's not pretend we don't know the reason.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 4 days ago (1 children)

is that a challenge?

here we go: it's because all the female characters are canonically masochists, because something something trans women are like half of all competent computer programmers, and every single trans woman in tech is a masochist, and they like to see themselves represented on screen. how often do we confirm that a video game character is cis? almost never, right? so it's actually just trans inclusivity.

Anyone who's played Dead By Daylight can attest that all the characters hurt sounds like the right side

you should hear yourself while climaxing and then see if you can make any distinction

When my partner cums it sounds kind of like, how I imagine, someone getting stabbed would sound and I should be used to it by now, but it off catches me off guard

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Man, reading a Robert Evans Cracked article from 2016 takes me back.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

I loved Cracked so much before they fired everyone who people liked 7 years ago.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That's impressive because for some people it's a traumatic experience being stuck in quicksand and nearly dying, and for others it's an arousing experience. Very interesting how differently people perceive it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

well it’s just because in the old tv shows there was a lot of… odd sounds from women caught in quicksand

I can only imagine what it's like being part of the recording team when it comes to getting the hurt sounds. Probably something like this.
