    went and actually watched the video because I wanted to be angry I guess. Literally just a thinly veiled excuse to hate women who don’t perform femininity for men. Like, she keeps saying how this lara looks terrible because she doesn’t have a full feminine figure. Like, why is that what you value miss lady? You won’t enjoy being a doll for shitty men in 15 years when they stop being attracted to you.

    Any woman who does not base her womanhood around sisterhood is a danger to everyone around them.

    Edit: I went through her video history and its super clear that she took a drop in viewership the moment she started dyeing her hair. She has devoted her youtube channel to enforcing patriarchy’s discipline upon the free expression of women and queer people. The moment she made the slightest step into her own self expression the leopards started eating her face.

    Also she has the charisma of a cardboard cutout. She made so much room for patriarchy she forgot to make room for herself.

      Am I crazy? I can’t tell if the woman on the right is the video creator or another example of “generic lesbian design”.

        Just checked. It’s the woman from the video. And she has a life-size Lara Croft statue in the corner of the room next to a fake giant stick of butter for some reason. Also getting some weird accent of her like French Canadian or Israeli. It sucks either way. Oh, she’s doin’ bible streams too. She suuuuucks.

    “The masculine dress,” she repeated, as if not quite comprehending my meaning. “Do you mean my dress?”

    “Why, yes; it is a man’s dress I suppose, is it not?”

    “Why any more than a woman’s?” she answered rather blankly. “Ah, yes, I actually forgot for a moment whom I was talking to. I see; so it was considered a man’s dress in your day, when the women masqueraded as mermaids. You may think me stupid not to catch your idea more quickly, but I told you I was dull at history. It is now two full generations since women as well as men have worn this dress, and the idea of associating it with men more than women would occur to no one but a professor of history. It strikes us merely as the only natural and convenient solution of the dress necessity, which is essentially the same for both sexes, since their bodily conformation is on the same general lines.”

    They’re upset that she’s too masculine for… wearing clothes to stay warm, but not because she’s a globetrotting adventurer who fights men, knows bush craft, and can parkour and use weapons kiryu-stare

      Almost certainly because, while they don’t have women in their lives globetrotting, fighting men, bushcrafting, and parkouring, they’ve all been aggrieved by a women who wore clothes they didn’t like

    Nuclear hot take: she does not have that shit on fr. I don’t know about about the gender policing (I do and it’s bad) but new Lara had some pretty dank wintery outfits

    If you’re going to explore and glorify what you’ve done with the franchise, why not have the protagonist drippy as hell the entire time?

    Is this made by the Castlevania people? Cause it kinda looks like it and that show has been the pansexually horny action trash I’ve needed in my life and it gave an NES game a show without going off the established rails at all. I’ve never played a tomb raider but if they get it as right as Castlevania it’ll have something for everyone to be aroused by.

      Treffy, Sypha, and Alucard are the best bi polycule (big rip to those assassins from earlier, but Alucard was due for another sadboy arc)

      Here’s hoping Tomb Raider and the DMC show can live up to the levels of my trash that Castlevania exhibited.

        It is absolutely perfect trash to represent the game series. I’m a huge fan of the games until 20 years ago or so when it all went to shit, castlevania 3 is one of my favorite games (play the Japanese version, in an odd inverse it’s the more fair version and is a bit easier than the first game, the classic collection includes.it if you switch the language to Japanese) and aside from no Grant, they really stuck to cannon while expanding only three blank spots. New season was cool with the few.ch revolution but I do miss Dracula.
