Does anyone else think it's sexist how they make Sylvanas wear heals in this game?

[IzoGray]

This isn't a special case either. I don't know what's wrong with devs when they think that women need to be in a tank top and heals. I'm just saying, Sylvanas is never shown wearing any heals. She's a ranger general for fucks sake. The heels are not only degrading to strong female characters, but pure sexism in a male driven development environment.
Thoughts?

edit: sorry, this was meant for the heroes of the storm board. move please.

I don't see a problem with it. High Heels are sexy as hell. Don't get me wrong I don't like Sylvanas but the heels are the one thing she has going for her. Besides what a 'strong female character' does less for their character then what they themselves do. I'm sure most of the Sylvanas fans aren't fans because she's in heels...

[Deleted]

Yeah or maybe not.

In the words of everyone who has been playing games for much longer than anyone who cares about Sexism: Literally no one at Blizzard cares and neither do I.

Take a social agenda to congress, not game developers.

[Jawless Jones]

no

because they're just shoes

[Baracuda]

Who's making her? Can't it be a choice like for women IRL?

[tuesday the paladin]

Looks like she's wearing the same old boots she always wears.

[Synros]

Is this seriously a thread?!...Honestly?....Its a fucking video game! Please, be more productive, and complain about shit that ACTUALLY matter.

Well the fact that she's fictional means she is being forced against her will... Oh wait she doesn't have a will. My bad! It's a game set in a fictional world full of fictional characters and yet we get threads like this all the time. No ones listening to them yelling from their soap box on 'important matters' so they have to bend that stuff to fit into a fictional setting so they can get back up on said soap box.

Edit: Just saw the OPs edit to their post... *facepalm* You mean the art one card in a card game (that's just re-using the art from the IRL card game that was going) is why this is a thread. Again it's Blizzards art and they want to put a little sex appeal on the characters. That's why armor looks the way it does.

I enjoy how no on realizes she's just wearing boots.



It's only cosplayers that do the whole heels thing, not blizz.

[Underverse]

Yeah those are boots...heels are ugly as fk anyway.

[mizeri]

she don't have high heels but the queen of blades does

[Orcbert]

*heels

Yeah those are boots...heels are ugly as fk anyway.

The shoe is for the lady, what it does to the legs and ass is what it does for a guy. Believe me when I tell you that if you like women then you like high heels more than you know.

[Kaneiac]

He's talking about Heroes of the Storm.

[Jermain]

Yes it's sexist

No don't post about it on this website. It is full of [redacted]

Sorry OP

[NuLogic]

It's a video game. Your priorities are definitely off.

[Delekii]

Totally. It is so sexist that Thrall doesn't get to wear heels, and my main man Varian could totally rock the platforms.

[Mindark]

I think it's sexist to assume that because she's a woman she would be heals.

OT: No, it would be more sexist if ALL female characters wore heels. A single female character wearing heels? Not sexist. Additional height improves visibility!

[0mni]

My plate armor barely covers my Draenei's nipples and we're worried about Sylvanas' shoe choice?

Werk those shoes gurrlllll.

[Kuja]

Heals? Yup, pretty much 85% of wow girls I know of play a healer :P So yeah, that's sexist!
