If Lemmy ever gets enshittified, I'm coming back to this comment and giving it an award

Someone was handing out jpegs with trophies for a certain number of upvotes in the German version of me_irl here for a while. Maybe try that?

You can donate to nonprofits such as trans support funds and send the proof of donation. Rewards, but not enshittified

Any enshittification would probably have to happen on a specific instance, so wouldn't be seen on other instances unless they support it.

Because you can't play New Vegas all the time?

Maybe I'm projecting a bit, fuck it TTW is only about 20 percent installed for me who gives a fuck.

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

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.

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

What a brave new world of gender equality we now live in 🙏

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

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

As a masochistic woman, I feel attacked. 😅

This raises the good question of whether masochists need consent in some situations

Edit: from the severe negative feedback, I presume then that user pzzzt has legitimate cause to feel attacked, and that user Kevo is false in their presumption that this is a good thing for them. Or we might all be overreacting to some risqué banter. Real thinker.

both pzzzt's and kevo's comments were jokes

you brought up the topic of consent, which is never a joke in kink communities, hence why you got downvotes

Consent is the line that separates kink from abuse. It has to be the thing that people who do kink treat as the most sacred thing. If consent were not there, “doms” would be committing horrific acts of abuse.

The things I have let men to me have been only okay, and only enjoyable, because they were done to me with my consent. Taking a crop after a careful warmup by a partner who asked you in detail about what parts are okay to hit, and how you would like to be treated afterwards, and how long you’d like it to last - this is fun. Having a hookup spank or choke you out of nowhere? Not fun. Even if I enjoy spanking (or being choked, but choking is genuinely not safe and it’s concerning how common it is) - when I don’t know what the boundaries are anymore - I can’t relax and enjoy myself.

I lived as a 24/7 “you can hit me whenever you want” painslut, and even then, there were days where I didn’t want to be hit. Even the most extreme masochists are still people, and are still going to have limits.

Any kink community worth its salt will pillory you (not in a fun way) for not taking consent seriously. That’s how you can tell if they are safe.

I guess I didn't really understand what a masochist actually meant, as I attached some kind of sadist connotation to it, when it's just a pain-related kink. Thanks for the extra context, and I will try to update my understanding

2

Healthy sadism and masochism are when adults come together to talk about things that they enjoy doing or being done to them, and then doing those things in a way that is fun for both parties. What that looks like can look like a whole bunch of things, even things that we would see as actual crimes if they were being done to people who had not said “yes I want this.” (nothing like some light waterboarding)

Ah, I presume 'pzzzt' refers to the sound of electricity between the clamps?

Well I'm a straight cis male programmer who could describe myself as a rigger/master type. And I definitely play the female characters because those hard hits are fucking lovely to hear.

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

lemmy.world

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

I don't even have to be orgasming. I just scream sometimes. Some people say I'm quirky.

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

Yes omg I love that game and that’s a thing I always found particularly unique to it. I’m so happy to see someone else point it out.

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

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

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.

Are we criticizing women voice actors here or are we assuming voice actors are given direction to do this?

I would imagine they are given directions to do it, or if not, it might just be that some people perceive the hurt sounds to sound like the right side to them.

I think it’s the latter. I once had to take care of a sick friend who was pretty much puking her guts out. Her moans sounded arousing. Of course she wasn’t intentionally doing that, it’s just our own male brains playing tricks on us.

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

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?
