PC Is it just me, or do others get tired of the constant sexualisation of Jen in streams and youtube videos?

Disclaimer (because, sadly, I feel it'll need one):

So let's get this out of the way, I am not a virtue signaller, nor a SJW, I am asking this because I've noticed it a lot and I'm getting tired of it. I'm just interested if others are at the same place.


I watch quite a lot of 7DtD streams, both live and recorded, and there seems to be a consistent topic when streamers get to Jen - and it's sexual. Now I get it, we are all animals, it's natural to find people attractive, and this is a computer game so the 'person' they are 'objectifying' is not real so "no harm, no foul", right?

However it seems to be just about every male streamer does it to an extent. Now I am not calling those people out, nor will I name names, but it's just so tedious to hear people repeat the same old tropes. I'll not lie, I've actively been watching female streamers, not because women are in any way less sexual IRL, just that they don't feel the need to reference Jen's boobs the minute they appear on stream.

I really hope this thread doesn't get flamed, I honestly don't care if you do this or not, I'm saying for me, the viewer, it's getting pretty bloody old.

Well i think this depend on 7DTD art style - mad max was typical "70 - 90" movie with "hot chicks".  And 7dtd looks similar. I hate this setting i prefer days gone but what can we do xd

There's already a "Friendly Rekt" mod in the mods subforum.

Not sure if I'm happy with that, they've been a miserable b*stard from the moment they were introduced and I'm not sure if I could deal with a friendly version. If he perhaps had a different coloured hat or clothes, then we could at least assume he was Rekt's brother.

 
Friendly Rekt  has been in the game since at least A18. I got him there in one playthrough and it was really strange to hear him call me "buddy". It does sound sarcastic though so there's that.

I agree with everything you said. It's an R/18 rated game so the content within it should be considered adult, and it definitely is. You are also spot on that the audio files sounding like she is flirting, in the same way Rekt seems to have been written intentionally to annoy people - I like his new house though!

7DtD is "offensive", and it's intended to be so, that's cool.

This is slightly different to the streamer content. Jen has only a select number of lines, streamers don't need to repeat theirs.

Well i think 7dtd is.. hm what if you done game in B movie from 80 style. so people going are "behave" in 80 style

 
I'm going to go ahead and lock this thread. Threads about streamers being appropriately politically correct or woke in their monologues and conversations with audience members is beyond the scope of this forum which is to focus on the game itself. There have already been two separate flame rants in this thread that I have hidden. This is why we don't allow discussion of religion or politics and to that we can add racial or gender issues because they are hot topics that polarize discussions and create toxicity in the forum.

Probably the better place to have these discussions is with the influencers, themselves, in their discords or chats. Here, we want to keep the focus on the game. Thanks to all who attempted to discuss this with measured responses and without name-calling and ranting.
