For the record, I didn't think the content of Kebrel's thread was sexist, since it was going in a direction that tended to examine the psychosocial aspects of hawtness...er, something. I made the guy thread for two reasons:
1.) To make up for my posting of that Advent Children Aeris pic, which was the most sexist thing anyone's actually posted here. I really do like her jacket though; I was serious about that. But the fact that Aeris' perfectly angelic body goes along with that jacket is, in all probability, why I decided to post it in a hotness thread. Lord J said something in the religion thread about every man still being sexist to some degree, and my immediate inclination to post that pic forces me to admit the truth of that statement in my case -- to be a male feminist, perhaps, is to be a recovering sexist.
2.) And whenever I looked at the Xenosaga message boards on GameFAQs, I was a bit creeped out by the "Xenosaga Boys Sanctuary" thread, and its various sequels. It got me wondering whether people are actually turned off from message boards when they see members of their own gender being objectified. And hence, I wondered whether this turnoff could be "turned off" by the presence of threads examining characters of both genders.
And I think we should give ourselves a pat on the back as a community, because with my own admittedly paltry exception, we haven't really objectified either gender in the threads that compose this new conglomeration. We discussed Tifa's psychological complexity, Cid's dream to see the stars, Celes' inner strength...uh, whether Lulu is a MILF...the possibility of Vivi hentai...oh, dear lord! *breaks down and weeps for the human race*
