The Internet Needs To Stop Talking About Tifa's Breasts

The video game community has long-since been stereotyped as a male-dominated and highly-sexualised group of basement-dwellers, which has been a hard stereotype to shake.

[william_cade]

So lets put out an article about Tifa's breasts? Could have written about something else.

[gamer7804]

lol was about to type the same thing. they basically told the devs to restrict her bust size by way of a more restricting sports bra, but either way you look at it, they are smaller just not more restricted. They should have made it similar to advent children honestly. she's definitely been reduced in size and not just restricted.

[rainslacker]

I dont really see the problem. Her breasts are still larger than any other non-anime character out there. Seems more about the size of the original Lara croft...without them being square.

"How my hair can't stack up to Clouds "

[drunkenspy007]

whomever wrote the article has nothing better to do with their life.

[sampsonon]

he was making a point about a trend. not adding to it but pointing it out.
i get your point as well though.

[Enigma_2099]

Did someone say Tifa's breasts?

[0hMyGandhi]

I'm just floored over just how pointless this article was. Not even the subject matter or anything, but that absolutely nothing was said. Just a few twitter posts, a few images and maybe a few hundred words.

[RizBiz]

Why? Yuffie, a character of the game itself, literally calls her "Boobs."

[Prince-Ali]

so..? lool

[quent]

*wispers* big breasts exists

[Prince-Ali]

@Hawkeye98 & @L7CHAPEL

'Emphasis'... the word you idiots seem to not understand is 'emphasis'.. Imagine being annoyed by reading a word online loool... you man are ACTUALLY weirdos..
And specifically @L7CHAPEL that was actually dog shit loool.. you should really try again...

[Prince-Ali]

@Quent

Of course big breasts exists bro, that's not the point here though. The point is when they're taken away.. the fact that there is SUCH a visceral response is actually insane! They're JUST fake tits that add NOTHING to the game other than being able to gawk at fake titties.. it's literally all just fanservice... nothing more nothing less.

[thejigisup]

What about all the women with big boobs that are now lacking good representation in video games. This is disappointing. #freethenipple #notmytifa

[Smokehouse]

Discuss.

[VTKC]

Its the INTERNET. The internet talks about everything. You trying to police that now?

[CrimsonWing69]

Oh the irony!

[bluefox755]

More garbage bait articles, don't give them clicks.

[SethBrundlefly]

Tifa's Breasts Tifa's Breasts Tifa's Breasts Tifa's Breasts Tifa's Breasts Tifa's Breasts

[rainslacker]

They are nice aren't they?

[PS4Gamer1984]

Oh get bent Soy boy.. I see a pair of beautiful breasts, Im going to stare and admire them to the full degree, to hell with "today's cultural climate." So tired of all the man shaming going on in today's world.

[milohighclub]

U get hard to pixels 😂😂😂
Anyway, probably for the best you get ur kicks that way cos irl if you were to "stare and admire" my girls breasts, you'd be napping instantaneously.

If you want to put an end to man shaming then stop with the shameful behaviour. It's not manly to stare at tits, that's what young teens do. Kids.

You know most women hate having every single guy that walks past stare at them or make abusive comments towards them? They've been getting that behaviour from brain dead Neanderthals since they first started to develop.
Grow up.

[Muigi]

Preach haha

[PapaBop]

Have a feel downstairs and make sure you still have your balls will you? You're essentially trying to shame men for their sexual desires by using fairly extreme examples to get your point across. For shame.

[Cobra951]

Imagine if snowflakes had ruled early man. We would have become extinct before the woolly mammoth.

[Prince-Ali]

Fax brooo!!! These dudes ar ehonestlyy such weirdoooosss!!!!

[rainslacker]

Man shaming starts because people are judgemental about what other people are aroused over, as if it's any concern to that person to begin with.

Yet, somehow we need to stop doing what we do, despite what we get aroused over is usually much more involved than the nature of the presentation medium, just so others will stop being judgemental twats who feel their opinion is important?

I personally dont care what outsiders think of gaming. It's a diverse collection of experiences and people can choose to find something they like or not. No skin off my back.

But, with that said, I'm certainly not going to change my beliefs, attitudes, and certainly not my subconscious desires which may cause arousal because some person I dont know but obviously has no respect for anyone else feels about me or gaming.

[milohighclub]

@papa no mate, theres sexual desires then theres having the restraint to think with your brain and not your balls. It's called becoming an actual man.

@cobra, yeah imagine.. I mean, I have a son and have 3 brothers who all have children. I also have a beautiful woman and after 5 years we're still just as intimate as day 1, I think humanity would be fine.

@rainslacker. A paedophile is aroused over children, is it right for them to pursue their desires?
Imo one of the most important lessons to learn in life is self control. Just because you have such desires it does not mean they need persuing. Especially if its in ways that have a negative impact on someone else's life...all for a moments satisfaction. It's called been a decent person.

[CaptainObvious878]

Please tell us more of what a 'real man' does since you are clearly the authority on the matter...

You know why you're here, miloh? Because your dad saw you mum one day and thought, "what a beautiful girl".

So please get off your high horse, take off your white knight armour, stop drinking the feminist kool aid, stop pathetically seeking a pat of the head from your female better, and stop shaming my biological imperative.

I like boobs, deal with it.

Sincerely, a very happily married man of 11 years.

[milohighclub]

A real man has respect for women. A real man has empathy towards what others go through. And last but certainly not least, a real man doesnt Jack his dick to video games.

Yeah he did, what he didn't do is walk past staring at her tits, he didnt sit his man cave with his dick in one hand and a controller in the other screaming about feminism whilst trying to balance a "man"wich on his belly.

I'm not against people liking them, I fucking love them but what I have is morals and dignity and I was raised by a mother who was violently beaten by her husband and left to raise 4 kids singlehandedly. I saw the way she was treated by boyfriends after, I learned through this and other experiences how to behave. I guess I gained enough exp. and leveled up. Anyhow, by the age of 11, i had leaned that people deserve much better.

11 years!? Poor woman... that can't be happily? Not with that attitude. How'd you get her to agree? Did she? Or you more the hit em with a club kind guy? A real man's man!?

[Prince-Ali]

You people are sooo worrying!! These AREN'T even real titties! Loool these are some character mesh rendered out from Maya or Zbrush and put in a game engine... The fact you guys are soo upset over stuff like this is troubling!!!

[Hungryalpaca]

The fact you’re afraid of FAKE tits is more troubling. It’s perfectly fine to blow heads apart and rip people to pieces and murder them but if you show a BOOB! YOURE the disgusting one.

Grow up.

[Prince-Ali]

Loool the fact THAT'S all you infer from this topic in this comment as well as all all your other ones just shows how much you dont actually understand the topic lool... this ISN'T a matter of maturity.. not even in the slightest.. but you keep on being stupid and uninformed...
you're telling me to grow up but here you are with the "wah wah wahh.. dont take my titties away from me... it's the only time i get to see them and fantasise.. wah wah wah"
Sad.

[BlahBlahWhatever]

What needs to stop is game companies censor games & the female body which they seem to hate so much that's what needs to stop & for that to happen they need to stop care about non-gamers/NPCs opinion because those people are not their customers those people are not those who buy their games so all they do by taking seriously the opinion of such people is to hurt their business so in the end they are idiots & they need to open their eyes & see what's best for them.

[annoyedgamer]

Translation: Not an approved talking point, comrade.

[GrizToof]

That's the way for the internet to stop talking about something, by continuing to talk about it. I really dont understand people who get offended by this anyway. We all understand that women with big breasts exist right? Making them smaller is just making real women with big boobs feel un wanted and rejected. Let video game creators make their games and we play them. Stop getting so offended by everything. There is a place in the world for all of us, let it rock and stop being a wet vagina.

[Lexreborn2]

I didn’t know the internet was still talking about this

[Nacho_Z]

"However, this mistranslation began a discourse that – frankly – is completely unnecessary, as people can’t seem to stop weighing in on Tifa’s breasts."

You said it sister.

[Dixiedevil]

I miss the 2000’s internet. This pearl clutching, thought policing and authoritarianism will only lead to a dark and homogeneous place.

[Epzaos]

William Usher(One Angry Gamer) and and his reactionary fans seem to disagree with this.
This breast thingy is getting out of hand, would be nice if we talked about the character itself, instead of focusing solely on tissues that hang from her chest.

[badz149]

"Pixels"

[Epzaos]

Touche.

[terstomp]

Stereotype? Young, male, sexualised, loves female breast.... that not a stereotype, its entirely normal. I'm not young and I still get can't enough of breats. Enough with the pc, sjw rubbish

[SegaGamer]

I only see people talking about her boobs when people make articles about them. The gaming media seem to care about this more than anybody else.

[McGamer]

Garbage naive article.

[Krogzie]

Nothing naive about it, the writer knows that conversations won't stop because of this article. That's common sense. They just want to drum up clicks for profit.

[rob-GP]

Isn't making an article about something nobody talks about anymore, purely about not talking about the subject nobody talks about, counter-intuitive? You've successfully got people to talk about it once again, something you claim you wanted to stop...

[AnubisG]

This is how you achieve the exact opposite of what you intend.

If I tell you, for the next 5 minutes don't think about kittens, guess what you will think about.

If you don't want something to be talked about, than don't talk about it.

[trooper_]

Uh...

[killswitch80]

Kind of ironic to write an article asking the internet to stop talking about it while talking about it on the internet.

[Germaximus]

The internet needs to stop doing a lot of stupid things. But it won't. People are idiots.

[Teflon02]

I mean, I saw no articles for a while until now that is...

[TheGamez100]

Thatll never happen lol

[Rapidfirepunches]

They've already ruined her for the remake. She's out of my party for good.

[ElementsUnknown]

Perhaps video game websites should take up the issue with God or Mother Nature or science, whichever you prefer, for designing the biological imperative that makes men drawn to breasts for purposes of propagating the species. You know, just say “reality should change for me because I am totes triggered”

[ShockUltraslash]

Tifa got censored in the Remake.
Whats not to talk about?

[Kostche]

why? it was a problem that developers had to change it, so it seems its subject to be talked about. i love how articles and people go on about telling others to get over it, when the developers themselves couldnt do it

[masterfox]

no

[drizzom]

Im actually more annoyed by the outfit censoring.

[AnnaDea]

If people wants to talk about boobs, then do it!!!

All these articles from progressives that forces their own limited world view upon others...

[Athlon]

“... and start talking about her ass.” There. I fixed the title. lol

[Alexmaru]

I love Breasts <3

But i do not like her voice acting in Dissidia NT :/ its Pretty bad... sad

[Cmoney007]

Here are the solutions:
1. If people are offended by something in a game, then we can get a censored version and an uncensored version.

2. The first solution is probably not good enough. How do you solve that if it still offends you? Make your own game! Stop trying to force other people to change their creation.

This article doesn’t help at all.

[SwagginMcdoodles]

No, I Don't Think I Will

[Prince-Ali]

I swear you guys who are upset/enraged by this stuff need serious help... THESE ARE NON ISSUES!! You're only giving firepower to those Anita Aarkeesians of the world & news articles and non-gamers to see us as a community as sex driven, basement dwelling weirdo's who only live to objectify women because we're too antisocial and grotesque to get them in real life!
Bruhh you guys need to relax honestly.. it's not only creepy but the fact that we as a community can argue and debate about the games we love on a nuanced level when it's gameplay and framerates over resolution, input methods are discussed at length, HUD preferences ffs! WE GO INTO SUCH DETAIL ON HOW games are made better or worse through very real means.. but then we ruin all of that when it comes to dumb shit like this and costumes on half naked women in fighting games and make the whole community look like sex depraved fools! IT's just sad honestly....

[Hungryalpaca]

Or people want her to look like she should?

They’re boobs. Why people get shamed for liking or even talking about them is absurd.

Yet we’re fine ripping people apart, fine with murder in games and other crimes. Gore etc.

Yet titties are forbidden....

You Americans are so fucking weird.

Ps. I don’t even give a shit about her tits. I’m not into game model bodies. I’m just not a baby like your ilk is. Why you’re all so afraid of the female body is beyond me and its pathetic.

[Prince-Ali]

lool.. she should..? It's THEIR characater.. wtf are you talking about... you wanna say she should..? Then shouldn't she look like a walking talking dodecahedron considering how polygonal she was on the original system ¬__¬...

"Yet we’re fine ripping people apart, fine with murder in games and other crimes. Gore etc. "
This is sucha STUPID point, considering murder in games and other crimes are part of the games narrative or overall gameplay mechanics, so they come part and parcel with the game's scope TIT'S PLAY NO PART IN THE GAMES NARRATIVE OR GAMEPLAY EXPERIENCE!!! WHY IS THAT SUCHA FOREIGN CONCEPT FOR YOU GUYS!? loooool i know YOU may not care about it but CLEARLY even youuuu seem to be missing out on this SIMPLE point loool.

Plain and simple this is a non-issue caused by people who wack one out when staring at these characters.. it has NOTHING to do with anything else...

[QuePasa87]

Why do people think that saying 'people should stop this or do that' will have an impact with articles like these?

[mandingo]

I like breasts

[Count_Bakula]

and you need to stop acting like you can dictate what others say; that's part of the problem now. Little, entitled, thin-skinned shits who try to police what others do because YOU don't like it. Grow the fuck up.

[Elda]

I thought it did die down until this new article just surfaced.

[FlameWater]

I forgot this was a thing, thanks for reminding us

[PhoenixUp]

So let’s have an article about Tifa’s breasts

[Bloodshedder]

click bate

[deno]

Oh no, SJW Justice League on the prowl!

[TheGlows535]

Wait. What? Who's still talking about Tifa's breasts/body after her reveal at E3 a full month ago? Even then I didn't hear or see a lot on it. I think people or more excited and are talking about the ACTUAL GAME, rather than focusing on Tifa's character model. At least that should be the case.

[Horseygamer]

No we don't their more important thing to talk about!!!!

[lildudexst]

Why is this new, this is not important

[monochromer]

What a pointless article.

[Cmoney007]

I still find it disturbing that SE has an ethics department.

[ajax17]

Who the fuck is Tifa anyway?

[nobodyspecial]

I thought they did stop talking about it, but I clearly I haven't been keeping abreast of the situation.

[NukeDaHippies]

How about you piss off, i love Tifa's breasts. They are an important part of my childhood, and you can't take that away from me.

Don't even get me started on her legs....

[rataranian]

Cause thats going to happen. =\

[DafunkyRebel]

Rule34 disagrees

[Donnie81]

As if large breasts are a bad thing. I enjoy looking and handling them

[quent]

What a shitty article, those who complained were so far in the minority that they didn't even know what a sports bra was, not something worth writing an essay, about come on

[quent]

Straw pole: vote up for bewbs, down for Fannie's

[KillZallthebeast]

Ive had a few girls with tifa titties. Theyre fun but dont age well.

[W4rfight3r]

N4g..... So pervy D:

[bumbleforce]

Well they should have made them the correct size. Instead they made them smaller so the small boob girls dont feel offended

[AK91]

The stop writing about it game journalist, honestly this was completely forgotten about till you mentioned it.

[Knightofelemia]

Tifa has boobs you seen one set you seen them all move on

[sprinterboy]

This is why everyone still thinks gamers are virgins.

[sampsonon]

lonely men love naked cartoon women. this is the world we are living in. so go and down vote your reality.
it doesn't change that fact.

singed,
cartoon Sally with the big coded breast.

[Nicknasty]

Incredible breasts

[PyroMessiah86]

Tifa has breasts, girls have breasts......people like the person who wrote this need to get over themselves. People like tits, big deal.

There's nothing wrong with appreciating the fine female form, real girls or animated if that floats your boat. I need something real personally.

This also has nothing to do with making gaming more or less accessible to girls either. I know plenty of girls who also admire tits, and the female form. Straight or otherwise. People need to grow up and realize it's okay and stop telling people what to say or do.

[Ahytys]

you can't shake a stereotype if it's true

[LucidIllusion]

who

[Juusterey]

Maybe the internet needs to stop telling others what they can or can't talk about
