I-Bayonetta Inikwe Amandla Noma Ixhashaziwe? Ngabe Ungaba ... Bobabili?
I-Bayonetta i-sexy. Ugqoke izingubo ezimhlophe, ezigqoke isikhumba, ugibela ebhokisini lakhe-izibhamu njenge-model on a catwalk. Ufanele futhi akwazi ukuguquguquka. Upholile futhi uhlakaniphile, onamandla futhi onamandla, oqotho futhi, ngaphansi kokuhlekwa kwakhe kwangaphandle, onomusa nokunakekela.
Ubuye futhi uhamba kakhulu futhi ujwayele ukuma ezindaweni eziphikisanayo ezibalwe ukukhombisa izindondo zakhe. Kakhulu kangangokuthi umdlalo wombuyekezi wePolygon ungumdlalo wezinga eliphansi kakhulu ngenxa yokuthi "u-sexist, isifo esibi kakhulu".
Lokhu kuye kwaholela ezingxoxweni ngokuthi i-Bayonetta i-sexist, nokuthi kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kuyindaba yini.
Isizinda Esithile: Amageyimu Amakhosikazi Nevidiyo kanye ne-Insane People
Abadlali abaningi abanomuzwa wokuthi lokhu kuyingxoxo efanelekile, bekhala "SJW" kunoma ubani ohambisa isihloko. (I- SJW imele i-Social Justice Warrior , futhi kubonakala sengathi ishintshiwe "ngokulungile kwezepolitiki" njengegama elihlekisayo kulabo abangakwesobunxele abafuna ukuxoxa ngamasiko nezombangazwe. Ngiyithola i-jibe ebuthakathaka; "ukulungiswa kwezombusazwe" kwaphumelela ngoba kwaletha ukukhumbula abakwa-didactic socialists abasebenzisa amahora amaningi bakwenza ngelungelo, kepha mina, "uMbutho Wezobulungiswa Kwezenhlalakahle" udweba isithombe sikaMartin Luther King no-Emma Goldman abashaya amahhashi amhlophe, bephethe izinkemba zegolide eziphakeme.)
Amanye ama-gamers enza okuningi kunokumemeza "i-SJW." Izikhathi zakamuva ziye zabona abadlali abadangayo bethumela izinsongo zokufa kubesifazane abakhuluma ngalezi zinkinga. Kunjengokungathi ukhuphukela etafuleni endaweni yokudlela bese uthi "ingabe lesi sihlalo sithathwe?" Futhi impendulo yayiyi, "Ngizokubulala kanye nezingane zenu ne-DOG yakho!"
Abalingiswa besifazane emidlalweni bahlolisisa kakhulu ngenxa yokuthi bayavamile kakhulu. Bheka i-franchise yemidlalo ethandwa kakhulu. Kwamadoda amaningi kuphela ayadlala. Kwamanye, njenge- Call of Duty kanye neningi lezihloko zezemidlalo, abesifazane abadlali ingxenye, kuyilapho abanye befeza indima yabesifazane abasenkingeni. Amageyimu anomabili ama-protagonists abesilisa nabesifazane futhi abagqoke abesifazane besifazane nge-bikinis ayimvelo, kanti i-protagonists yodwa yinto ehlaselwa ibhakede lokudlala.
Izizathu zalokhu zivulekile ukuphikisana. Abanye bathi abadlali abaningi bangamadoda nokuthi lapho abesifazane bedlala imidlalo, bahlola izihloko ezintathu ze-A zemidlalo ejwayelekile. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, imidlalo ye-AAA abesifazane abayidlala ngobuningi, njengeThe Sims noFantasy Fantasy , imidlalo lapho amadoda nabesifazane banikezwa khona ubuhlobo obuningi (kubesifazane besigceme sokugcina bavame ukugqoka izingubo ezibonakalayo, kodwa kanjalo nala madoda). Ingabe ukubizwa koMsebenzi kungcono nakwabesifazane uma ngabe kunabasosha abaningi besifazane? Kunzima ukukusho, kodwa kunabesifazane abaningi abathandwayo ngaphandle lapho.
Lapho abesifazane bevela emidlalweni bavame ukugqoka kakhulu futhi babembethe kahle, okwenza abesifazane bazizwe sengathi ababona izithameli ezihlosiwe futhi baqinise izinkolelo zabesifazane njengokubaluleka kokubukeka kwabo kuphela.
Ukuphendula Umbuzo wesibili Okokuqala: Ingabe Kubalulekile?
Ngakho-ke, yini amanye amageyimu akhala, ngumdlalo kuphela! Noma kunjalo, ngezinye izikhathi abesifazane bagqoka sexy, ngakho kungani kungenjalo emidlalweni? Abafana nabo bavame ukunyanyiswa ngokomzimba njengama-muscular hunks, akunjalo yini into efanayo? Futhi kukhona abaphikisana nabesifazane abanobuhlakani, abanamandla, abanjenge-Rebecca Chambers no-Ephreli Ryan no-Faith Connors no-Chell. Kufanele nje uzibheke.
Ngakho-ke yini into enkulu?
Ukuze siphendule lokho, ake sikhulume ngokubonakaliswa kwefilimu yabase-Afrika baseMelika engxenyeni yokuqala yekhulu lama-20.
Uma ubheka i-movie eyodwa kusuka kuma-1940 nomuntu oyedwa omnyama, futhi lowo mlingisi omnyama uyesaba, futhi ungumntwana, futhi uyisiphukuphuku, futhi ungakhulumi kabi, ungasho kalula, ngakho-ke? Ngemuva kwalokho, isikhathi esifanayo sasihlanganisa inqwaba yezinhlamvu ezimhlophe, njengoLou Costello noma iThe Three Stooges. Futhi akufani nanjengekho abantu abamnyama abayiziphukuphuku emhlabeni. Futhi uPaul Robeson wenza amafilimu ambalwa eNgilandi lapho adlala khona amadoda amnyama ahlakaniphile. Ngakho-ke yini into enkulu?
Kodwa wonke uLou Costello, kwakukhona iClark Gable noma amabili. Kuwo wonke u-Stepin Fetchit, kwakukhona amanye amathathu afana naye. Lokhu kwakhuthaza futhi kwaqinisa inkolelo ekhona phakathi kwabantu abaningi abamhlophe ukuthi beyihlanga oluphakeme.
Uma kwakukhona zonke izinhlobo ze-protagonists besifazane emidlalweni, kusukela ku-plumb stubby kuya emasotheni ahlanganiswe ngodaka ukuze abe nezigelekeqe ezesabekayo, owesifazane wesifazane ongeke abe khona ngeke abe khona. Kodwa uma ubiza wonke owesifazane oye waba ngu-protagonist ongewona ucansi womdlalo, bese ubiza bonke abesilisa abasha, abacindezelekile besifazane abavela kumdlalo owodwa we- Dead noma we-Alive , uluphi uhlu olungaba lude?
Uma abesifazane abaningi emidlalweni yevidiyo bengama-sex kittens noma abangakwazi ukwenza kahle, uqinisa imibono yobulili ekhona. Ngakho yebo, ukubaluleka kwabesifazane emidlalweni kubalulekile. Okusibuyisela kumbuzo wenombolo eyodwa:
Ingabe i-Bayonetta Sexist?
Ingabe i-Bayonetta sexist? NjengoSJW oziqhenyayo, ngingahle ngithi yebo futhi ngiyenze ngakho, kodwa akuyona into elula njengaleyo.
Njengoba ngishilo ngenhla, i-Bayonetta inezimfanelo eziningi ezimangalisayo. Kulokhu, uhlanganyela nendawo ethandwa kakhulu yi-female protagonist yomdlalo wabo bonke, uLara Croft . ULara uyinhlangano ye-studious, i-acrobatic heiress enesithakazelo emiphakathini yasendulo kanye nobuchwepheshe emakhemeni kanye nezikhali ezihlukahlukene.
Ungowesifazane omkhulu obengamahlombe ngamafushane.
Sivame ukugxila ezintweni ezilandelayo (okungenani kuze kube yilapho umdlalo wamuva kakhulu, owenqabela esifubeni sakhe futhi wanikeza i jeans yakhe), ngoba indaba iyincenye yomdlalo. U-Lara uhlakaniphile kuphela futhi unolwazi kuzigcawu ezimbalwa ezisikiwe, kodwa ama-big aphuza sonke isikhathi.
Noma kunjalo, akukubi yini ukuxosha abesifazane abahlakaniphile, abanekhono ngoba banamabele amakhulu futhi bagqoke izingubo eziqinile? Esikhathini sokuzijabulisa lapho abesifazane bevame ukuba izisulu okufanele baziphindiselele, noma umklomelo okufanele usindiswe, akufanele yini samukele abesifazane abangenazo izingalo ezivulekile?
I-Bayonetta ihlakaniphile njengoLara Croft futhi inamandla kakhulu. Uyashesha ngokushesha futhi esabisa. Akathathi iziboshwa.
Izembatho zakhe ziqinile futhi zinobuhle, kodwa ukuba ulungile, ungumlumbi onomqondo wesitayela, ngakho-ke ngeke ulindele ukuthi agqoke ifomu noma i pair of jeans, futhi lapho izinwele zakhe sezikhona empeleni ubonisa inyama encane kunabanye abaningi abalingiswa begeyimu yevidiyo.
Ngakho yimuphi inkinga?
Lona akuwona umbuzo olula, futhi ukuwuphendula kufanele ucabange ukuthi kukhona umehluko phakathi kobuntu bomuntu nokusetshenziswa kwakhe. Okukwenza lokhu kube yisikhathi esihle sokukhuluma nge-Princess Zelda.
Indodakazi kaZelda iyinkosikazi. Unomusa, uhlakaniphile, unesibindi.
Kodwa inhloso yakhe emidlalweni yeZelda akufanele ihlakaniphe noma isibindi, kodwa kunokuba ibe yintandokazi, intombazane ethunjiwe okumele ikhululwe ngumfana onomgomo. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi u-Zelda omangalisayo kangakanani, uyinto yokudlala yabathuthukisi. Akanayo inhlangano. Ungumthombo.
Ngesikhathi i-Bayonetta ine-ejensi kule ndaba, isalokhu iphathwe njengengqikithi yikhamera yezemidlalo, ejwayele ukuhamba nayo, igxume emgqeni wayo njengoba igxuma ngaphansi kwalesi sambatho esiphezulu se-dominatrix. I-Bayonetta ingcono nakakhulu kunoma yiliphi ingelosi elibi, kodwa akanamandla okumelene nekhamera, engamnqophelisa ngokuthakazelisa okungabizi, ngisho nalapho iphazamisa indaba kanye nomlingiswa.
Lona umehluko omkhulu phakathi kwamadoda nabesifazane abavezwa emidlalweni yevidiyo. Amadoda akalokothi ahlelwe emidlalweni. I-Master Chief ayibonakali ephuma esitokisini sakhe bese efika ebhokisini lamabhokisi ngenkathi ikhamera ihamba ngesifuba sayo. Imidlalo ayikhathazi ukuhlola imbongolo kaSam Fisher . Uma izingxenye zangasese zomfana ziqokonyiswa, kungenzeka ukuthi ziyihlaya eliphuma ngaphandle.
Njalo uma ikhamera ihambela owesifazane, yenza isitatimende esilula: lo mdlalo ungowesilisa. Singabantu futhi senze umdlalo kwabanye abafana futhi sibheka abafana, akuyona le ntombazane eshisayo? Ngibheke ngenza ukugoba kwakhe ukuze ubheke phansi phezulu. Cool, ha?
Abanye amadoda baye baxosha lezi zikhalo njengokungqubuzana nocansi, kodwa lokho akuyiqiniso. Njengomlingiswa, i-Bayonetta inomnikazi wayo wobulili ngendlela enamandla, futhi kuhle. Kodwa ikhamera inegunya lokugcina, futhi lithi, nansi inkukhu elishisayo ngawe bantu ukuba ugule.
Ngaphandle komongo, akuyona into enkulu lapho umdlalo onamabala amaningi amanothi ahlaziyekile kanye nesimo sengqondo solimi-ngesifuba sibonisa isibhamu se-cheesy pin-up se-heroine. Kodwa kumongo wesifazane ongaphansi kokuzimela kanye nokwedlulisa ucansi ngokweqile, i-Bayonetta iyingxenye yephethini yobulili emidlalweni yevidiyo.
I-Bayonetta 2 iyimidlalo enhle kakhulu engiyincoma kakhulu, kodwa kusadingeka ukuba uqaphele umlayezo oyithumelayo, futhi ukuqaphela ukuthi i-Bayonetta enamandla, enomdlandla yayiyoba nje ephoqelekile emdlalweni ongakaze uzungeze imbongolo yakhe .
