Your Skyrim Mods are Sexist

huh want to support your favorite internet dog oh don't want to send him nudes for some reason well consider supporting him on patreon just $1 a month makes a huge difference or more he would be very appreciative since then news though do that please hey guys and girls do you like the Skyrim game hit the dragon with your sword and look stab that guy and I got to hit the dragon again they quite come out of the stick well [ __ ] you has Skyrim's modding community become a misogynist nightmare so let's take a look has Skyrim's modding community become a misogynist nightmare warning many of the links here are not safe for work due to an absurd amount of nudity well we'll be taking a look at those then we're all used to seeing outlandish Skyrim mods the Thomas the Tank Engine characters as a replacement for Dragons as a classic good-natured mod based hijinks are par for the course what you might not be expecting however is the troubled current state of modding culture the modding scene is getting frightening ly misogynistic and it only takes a cursory glance at the Nexus to see it good-natured mod based hijinks are par for the course she says Iron Man suits and Macho Man Randy Savage stormtroopers and Master Chief realistic horse genitals nothing but good-natured mod based hijinks but scantily clad ladies with big racks there's nothing good-natured about that after all that means you hate women which strange though is that it's not exactly difficult for you to get your hands on male related nude mods for Skyrim slums of Skyrim version 3.0 0.004 she longs of Skyrim allows you to bend your schlong up or down through key binds to properly fit any other animations and don't forget to give your [ __ ] of Trustee two big asset each either caca mods are serious business human or otherwise people put a lot of long hard work into making these mods be the best they can be this is something that people have a passion for and it's certainly not restricted to female only mods of this kind all I'm asking for is a little kin kristan see if you're not willing to say that mail related nude mods aren't well sexist - well then quite frankly I don't really give your opinion on sixes - mod that much credit you have to be consistent Nexus mods lovingly known as the Nexus by users has been the center for Skyrim modding for some years now it's where every quality mod has been hosted wait why did I say hosted it's like I was slipping into Canadian host today all the quality mods are hosted he Minnesota anyway the Nexus it's where every quality mod has been hosted since the game's release for mods that feature adult content most know to head to the website known as lovers lab you know I was in love with a lab once she was a [ __ ] and I know I know we might scoff at the idea of lovers lab and porn moms and nude mods and you know the physics of all the dangly bits but a lot of work goes into this these are some people's passion this is their hobby so we can crack all the jokes that we want to but this is you know work a lot of effort goes into stuff like this just like with any regular mod so it's important to keep that in mind over the years the Nexus has been generally good at filtering adult material out from the rest of the content and urging people to post adult mods elsewhere then at all fairness I understand that a website wants to have a certain reputation and wants to have a certain appeal it helps firm marketing and word-of-mouth and image if you don't allow not-safe-for-work content but understand they exist and tell people to take it to another place recently however the Nexus has been overrun with adult content hiding in amongst the other material it's gotten to the point where a high quality mods are being pushed out of the spotlight in favor of this adult content I hope you're not implying that adult mods can't be high quality but adult content is all well and good no it's not because there's articles a thing don't make an article saying is Skyrim's modding community becoming a misogynistic nightmare and then say adult content is all well and good don't lie to my face amy adult content is all well and good and it has its place alongside all other content the problem here is that this content notably focuses on adult themes with Missa wait a quart yes Amy adult content is gonna have a focus on adult themes it's not it's not like you're gonna install a [ __ ] pay taxes mod organize your 401 K mod those are not the adult themes we're talking about Plus can you [ __ ] imagine what life insurance rates must be like in Skyrim holy [ __ ] again it all comes back to the idea of consistency is adult-themed mods a good is it good or is it bad that there are adult themed mods relating to nudity and sexuality does it have to be the right kind of sexuality feminist approved sexuality if you're going to say that mods that have female characters with really big comically large boobs is sexist against women then you have to be consistent and say that mods that give all the male characters big-ass dicks is sexist against men anyway the problem here is this content notably focuses on adult themes with a misogynistic lean women followers with comically sized butts and breasts followers that are either dressed in almost nothing or are nude or well things like this just for starters then really this isn't that bad of an example at all it doesn't make much sense from a practical standpoint in terms of armor and protection from incoming attacks but it is a fantasy game these hot ladies are just pixels on a screen that accompany around the character I think it's extremely disingenuous to imply no to assert that the people who go through the trouble of making these mods and the people who install them and use them hate women of course you also think that gaming culture is racist so mmm go ahead and put that in the back pocket for later followers in Skyrim are as the name suggests characters that are willing to follow you around the world that assist you in battle in reality though they basically are just pack mules and people to distract the enemy so that you can kill them at a safe distance they're meant to be warriors that fight by your side and help save the world somehow it's hard to an image image that developer Bethesda Mint players to have these types of followers very strange though a me and again very inconsistent of you because wasn't it at the beginning of this article you were saying that there were good-natured mod based hijinks that were par for the course like the Thomas the Tank Engine dragon replacement mod it's hard to imagine that developer Bethesda Mint players to have these types of dragons good-natured mud based hijinks but scantily clad female warriors well that just doesn't make any sense at all what do you know another journalist on the Internet talking about video games who acts as if they have never played them in their life the bio in the article says Amy Jo white is a gamer by day and writer by night author thespian journalist incessant gamer and general mare do well and honestly I don't think that I have ever heard an argument be made that a mod or a kind of mod is bad because it doesn't fit in with the intentions of what the developer meant of the gaming experience to be if anything else the opposite of that argument is used as a well a reason why the mod is so excellent the fact that it's so outlandish and out of the ordinary in that it goes beyond the game world itself these are reasons that make them goofy and funny and therefore often immensely enjoyable even though they're ridiculous and silly I mean the point of them is to be ridiculous and silly and not to be serious I mean do you actually play video games or did you just pull a sarkeesian because you wanted something to [ __ ] about I think it's also a little ironic that in this article talking about how misogynist these mods are you make the sentence that they're meant to be warriors that fight by your side and help save the world but it's hard to imagine that Bethesda Mint players to have these types of followers strange in an article that's supposed to be about how misogynistic mods are are you implying that women can't be heroines who save the world I was under the impression that women could be but then again maybe you can only be a hero if you follow the dress code I don't know I've never been a hero really I just play one on YouTube the article continues just within the past year these gems and gems is italicized because it's super ironic because they're not really gems these gems have been posted on the Nexus warning all of the following links are not safe for work and I'm gonna click them all you're goddamn right a buxom wench with impossibly huge breasts this follower made to look like a young sexualized girl a group of followers labeled harem and a mod that changes every NPC in the game female 4 clearly unsavory reasons I was expecting full frontal nudity that was actually kind of lame can somebody make a trap version of this if you went to even a few of those links you have my apologies I'd urge you to go look at some pictures of puppies to recover mmm it appears that this video of mine has both the sickness and the cure all in all though if I had the talent on how to create followers in mods if I could draw them and sketch them render them out if I could animate everything about them if I knew how to do that well what's actually wrong with making them very attractive so far this article has said that this is a problem but hasn't really stated why have you considered that there might be some of us who have no problem at all with the company of men in all those lady adventurers well they might want to share the company of a handsome stud maybe a strong handsome fit green or summer who can take me by the arms and keep me warm by the fire on a cold Skyrim night who can lay next to me beneath the Stars and look me in the eye and know something like that I guess there's nothing wrong with the little fantasy for people to enjoy whatever their proclivities are and it certainly shouldn't give people license to call others hateful and spiteful there's nothing wrong and creating something that gives you personal appeal inside of a fantasy game if somebody wants to have a follower or followers following them around everywhere they go and those followers are women with big tits there's certainly nothing wrong with that either and they're sexually attracted to something I want to be titillated regularly by the side of something especially nothing but pixels on a screen crying aloud that they're hateful sexist is well it's hyperbole in its finest form it's just innocent fun like you said there's not the tiniest ounce of malice behind it just nothing but good-natured mod hijinks but some misogynistic problems are more subtle than others Amy tells us many of the worst examples sneak into other mods because misogyny is sneaky you see like this otherwise innocuous hair replacement mod that uses a model of a sexualized young girl and if you're looking to download new clothing for your female character it's difficult to avoid clothing that isn't designed ridiculously though you'll notice the men's clothing in the same mod is just fine it links to a couple images from Nexus mods where it looks like the mods been pulled down for her having adult content as the article says the female clothing said is very revealing it's seductive it's risque and the male's looks like a recolor from armor that's already in the game not even the most zealous of Puritans would have a problem with his choice in attire they might even tell him to relax but one might ask themselves why why why why is the woman's clothing like that and the man's clothing like that ponder ponder ponder as you may the answer might seem obvious to many of you but to some it might remain still hidden let me illuminate you Amy in particular why this is the case are you ready the vast majority of people are straight I know I know I know I know can you believe it it's true it is abnormal to be gay it is a deviation from the norm there's nothing wrong with that of course I love me some big ol dick but we're just a statistical minority both of humans and of the gaming population and of the gaming population who creates mods most people are straight they want to see the opposite sex portrayed oftentimes is alluring interesting titillating attractive and sometimes just downright dirty and that is fine and there is nothing wrong with that because no one is getting hurt no one is getting harmed and as much as you might like to try and imply the image that women have is not being harmed because someone made a mod about beautiful scantily clad women nobody goes out of house to the real world out in public and starts groping and fondling and behaving inappropriately to women because they thought it was okay because the video game had a character who was dressed provocatively when you stop though and give it a little think it's kind of odd that all the people who are on the side of social justice who were good male feminist allies who are progressive who are so respectful of the women it's so very interesting that there are so many people from this side who are the ones who end up being accused Cod are called out for sexual misconduct themselves seems to me like it's the male feminist allies who are the ones that you should be watching out for not us truly liberal minded egalitarians so remember ladies if you're looking to not get groped or raped or sexually assaulted the safest place for you is to be in the company of those terrible horrible no good very bad anti-feminist misogynist sexist gamergaters oh ho what tangled webs we weave I also think it's a little interesting when you point out that it's difficult to avoid clothing that isn't designed ridiculously you link to a not-safe-for-work site which is actually a JPEG image from Nexus mods where that mod has actually been removed from the site at least that's the way it appears because you have to go out of your way in order to see it you have to go to your preferences and then you have to enable manually you to be able to see adult content and then you can search for the mod and only then can you see it so really even though you say it's difficult to avoid it the truth is that you have to go out of your way to see it these mods clearly aren't just adult they're aimed towards a very particular audience with a very particular mindset namely the mods are aimed at male identifying folks who are seeking to objectify those who are female identifying yeah kinda that sounds pretty much like the general idea yeah pretty much you I mean like is is that that or like is that light is that a bad thing that you should never ever do because I objectify men and I objectify women and you know these aren't actually people right you understand that these are just pixels on a screen and there's no spark of life or consciousness or self-awareness behind them you don't sound particularly bright Amy so I'm certain that you understand that all these mods and things they're not real people so I guess you're referring to the idea of objectification but like then again I don't know because in the article you clearly say that it's that namely the mods are aimed at male identifying folks who are seeking to objectify those who are female identifying and I understand that this is on a website called the Mary Sue but I mean if you were consistent then it doesn't matter which way they identify so why bring it up is it good or bad to objectify people or is it only bad if it's a male objectifying a female if it's bad no matter what then why specify why make that distinction you know that can you present the case why objectifying people in these trivial ways like having a certain follower in a video game and some mod that somebody makes is so bad I mean isn't the whole idea of porn to objectify to people that you don't know and you're never going to know or meet just so that you can watch them do a thing and that's kind of interesting about porn isn't it you're watching two people enjoying and doing something that you currently aren't doing but wish you could be doing but by watching them doing it you can imagine yourself doing it and their joy brings you joy and you could objectify them both the man the woman everything they're doing but that doesn't mean that they're not human beings and that doesn't mean that you would seek to do harm on them or that you're completely apathetic to something that might happen to them it's just that in the context that you're watching them they're acting out something that's basically just a theater production for your personal enjoyment if someone came up to me and said hey you know that porn you watched yesterday well the guy who is in that he died in a car crash I mean even though I didn't know him in person I mean that's not good news I don't want people to die in car Crash's I didn't know anything about him either then he had a big-ass dick very strong elbows but just because the only time I ever knew about him was when I objectified him I mean that doesn't mean I'd be happy he's dead or completely apathetic that he died can you see what I mean and just because I objectify pixels on a screen in a video game because I want a big anime trap with a fat ass to bum around with me between occasional dragon slings that doesn't mean that I'm gonna treat people in real life poorly as a result or try to strip away their humanity I mean Amy have you ever tried to look nice for a guy or a girl or anybody have you have never put on lipstick or earrings or got your hair up nice or maybe worn something that's complementary to your figure or maybe something that shows off a bit of cleavage something that makes you look desirable and attractive and alluring are you doing that so that members of the opposite sex might find you attractive or a pleasant looking is that not at least in concept kind of the same thing just on a different scale and besides this is a video game Amy pretty much everything that exists inside of that video game itself is meant to in some way challenge or please or engage the user who's experiencing it and there's nothing wrong with making men handsome and women beautiful sometimes ridiculously so if that's what they want to see because there's nothing wrong with wanting to see those things and there's especially nothing wrong with wanting to see those things in an environment that can't possibly hurt any actual human being you're just trying to be the moral police and busybody yourself for the things that other people find fun so [ __ ] off unfortunately if you start to delve into the realm of base in PC model improvements it's almost impossible to avoid mods that make all the women characters look like supermodels while the male characters end up looking roughly unchanged all right again Amy that's because most of the people on the planet are straight in most of the people who play Skyrim are men most of the people who play Skyrim are straight men Arie I know it's terrible awful but such is life and as a result the people who make mods are gonna do things that appeal to that there are are mods that make the men handsome there are mods that put vaginas on horses it's just whatever boats your float it's your fantasy it's your world you can fill it with whatever like nobody is getting hurt it's just you having fun at your computer I mean if you gave a straight person a Skyrim with mods that made all of the male characters overtly sexualized then they wouldn't enjoy that because it's not something they find attractive maybe they would because it would seem silly to them I don't know people can choose what mods they want blah blah blah most people are straight I don't care ah the followers mods remain the worst of the worst if you're new to Skyrim modding you'd be forgiven for wondering why this is the case after some digging in the early days of my foray into the Skyrim modding scene digging I still regret I found out why lovers Lab has an animation framework known as sex lab as you might have guessed it allows the user to have fully animated sex with anyone in Skyrim so those followers mm-hmm glorified blow-up dolls suddenly the implications of those sexed-up teenage followers are pretty clear what I don't know what she means by that actually she just stops she goes on to a different topic next I don't know what the implications are like I really confused here and yeah sometimes people install mods on to their game Skyrim fallout whatever it is because they want to watch their character having sex with other characters I mean I guess that's what you're implying here I I thought it was something more subtle or maybe you're leading that off into someplace else but I guess that's it then you know what if that's what you want to do you go for it if that's the thing that just gives you your jollies then you have at it champ have a have a great time bucko I'm not gonna be sum over moralizing busybody feminists on the internet telling you that you're not doing video games right yeah how must at the end here foof it gets even more gruesome when paired with the download rates dear Lord Amie maybe tone down the language here people might think you're being a little hyperbolic and then ultimately it undermines your entire point your points [ __ ] but dear lord you need all the help you can get here these mods are being pushed to the top files of the month list because they're being downloaded roads thousands of followers designed as unwitting sex partners [ __ ] Amy they're not real Amy they are they are pixels on a screen they oh my god they can't they can't [ __ ] consent because they're not people they're just they're pixels in a video game I know that's the angle that you're trying to push here Amy it's [ __ ] yeah thousands of followers designed as unconsenting pixel sex partners are being uploaded and downloaded voraciously people are out there downloading these digital blow-up dolls as quickly as people make them yes that that's how supply and demand works this isn't [ __ ] human trafficking these are mods for Skyrim you made this article a month ago that games been out since like 1992 or whatever mod authors who produce other content are rapidly becoming frustrated and are pulling away from the community are they can you cite that can you list me a source can you get a quote from somebody can you back that up with anything because the mod community to me looks like it's thriving and when I go to Nexus mods I don't see any of that stuff I had to unblock adult content just so that I could find the art of magic Ahmad from earlier because before that I thought that adult mods were just not allowed on Nexus that there is a special place for it you have to go out of your way to find these things and you'll only get them if you want them you say those mod creators who haven't jumped ship or either very devoted to the game or are fine with the growing misogyny of Skyrim's mod content i've modded Skyrim for years now and this is undoubtedly the worst the Nexus has ever looked then disable being able to see adult content you idiot and you won't see it you idiot it remains to be seen if anything can be done to stop the onslaught of misogynistic mod content well probably not because not everybody is a moral busybody feminist types like you and the isn't actually misogyny you haven't tried to explain in this article why it's misogynist probably because you write for the Mary Sue and the only people who regularly read the Mary Sue are people who think everything's misogynist anyway I mean you're just preaching to the choir here you're not actually trying to convince anybody because you're not actually trying to make any case why having some Skyrim mod with some chick with big tits is misogynist or how it is hateful towards women you're just talking to people who automatically assume that if a woman is being objectified in some way or sexualized that it must be because misogyny and there's no other reason and that has to definitely be their motive yeah Skyrim modding is driven by supply and demand what do you know that's what I said people make and download the mods they want to play what does it say about the gaming community and our society as a whole that these are the types of mods that are most downloaded it means we like movies and there's nothing wrong with liking boobies I really like boobs they're great big ones small ones soft ones supple ones saggy perky you name it if you couldn't tell I'm a pretty sexual dog oh and you know what one of the big differences between me and you is that I'm not going to try and be some moral crusader telling people what they can or at least what they should and shouldn't be doing in their video game mods and I'm not gonna use it to condemn people because they want to play a fantasy game and they want to see hot chicks in it and you definitely shouldn't try and paint this as a male problem either you think that it's the straight male demographic that gave rise to such classics as Fifty Shades of Grey or do you think it's horny chicks and there is nothing wrong with horny chicks wanting to enjoy media that sexualizes men I'll link it in the description so you could read more but did you know that according to Harold lightin burg of the Journal of sex research women who read romance or erotic novels have an astounding 74% more sex with their partners than those who don't are you going to condemn their reading selection is it bad that they're objectifying men is it bad that these women want to partake in media that it them in the lady bits well I say no let the ladies read all the smut they want then give me a holler there's a lot of [ __ ] I can scratch so there you go has Skyrim's modding community become a misogynistic nightmare no is the answer at least if it is this article certainly didn't convince me it was basically preaching to the choir he was trying to convince people who could be convinced of anything as long as you put misogynist in the name it didn't actually do anything to explain why these were misogynist or why were sexist horrible people for liking them or why we're not gonna morally condemn people who do like it it didn't tell us why objectification is really bad in this video game they didn't give us any evidence that modders were leaving the community in droves when modding seems to be getting better and better as time goes on I mean when Skyrim came out modding was exclusive to the PC and at least consoles are getting some watered down version of it at least and take the game Skyrim the Skyrim and pretty much all Bethesda games except for new Vegas because they just produced it they didn't develop it anyway these games are basically infamous for being practically a platform for modders to build upon the vanilla games are ok but it's really the mods that the community creates that makes them shine or maybe glisten with sweat as the case may be here anyway those are my thoughts I hope you guys enjoy the video if you did maybe leave me a little something on patreon if you really liked it if you want to get my thoughts throughout the week as I'm fairly active on social media you can follow me at your pal rags link in the description and if you ever need to message me send me send me a line give me a holler let me know what you think so if you'll excuse me I'm gonna go show the ladies that I'm half dragon where it counts
