Soup2504 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) Hey OP, if you have a problem with a female gunslinger because YOU think of men when you think of famous gunslingers, and because YOU think her legs and arms are a bit too thin BECAUSE she's female (you literally said that ho l y ssh hh hh hi . you literally said her arms and legs are thin because she's female are you kidding me ) then I'm sorry but I'm gonna have to fight you while we both do handstands on top of my roof because oh man This is so silly. Bring on the female gunslinger, DE. I haven't been this excited about a frame concept in a while. If it makes people like this guy mad (or whatever you want to call it), then for the love of god make more like it.

WetAedeagus Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I love everything about the design....except one thing, now I am not being sexist but I would have preferred it if it was a man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utarious Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Trying to break a stereotype maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakharon Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 Why female? Because going against stereotypes can be a good thing. I see no issues why a female character can't fill a stereotypically male role in a game. Stereotypes and following stereotypes are boring. Variety is the spice of life. As a guy I like playing as a guy and I love the design of this I would be happier if it was a guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H4wkstriker Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) As a guy I like playing as a guy and I love the design of this I would be happier if it was a guy "I would be happier if it was a guy" Is probably the stupidest reason why it should be a male. Going back to what fishworshiper said... "Valkyr is the psychopathic berserker-frame. And she's female." I did not see you S#&$posting about Valkyr. Grow up.

TheErebus. Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Now I do agree with the OP that I would have preferred the frame being male BUT I do support what DE is doing and I will play as the new frame regardless of the sex/gender that the frame has been given. My advice? Don't let your preferences get in the way of enjoying something new, because you may need up missing out on a very enjoyable experience. Besides.. THE FRAME LOOKS SEXY AS ALL HELL.

Hortonman Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 The new frames alternate gender, and the last one was male. Also, the design team has always been fond of kicking design cliches, including gender roles, in the teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freelancer27 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Asides from the conflict between the genders currently undergoing, I find male gunslingers too stereotypical already, especially in the Movie-mainstream. It's really in a need of time to have females do the shooting for this decade at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archistopheles Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Asides from the conflict between the genders currently undergoing... That's what people forget about the current ongoing "conflict": Video games can be anything! If you want a video game to be something, you go out, and you make it that way. Nobody can stop you.

Morgax Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 The new frames alternate gender, and the last one was male. Also, the design team has always been fond of kicking design cliches, including gender roles, in the teeth. Right, Limbo was not stereotypical anime magician character (cliché straw legs and suit) I would love to see DE stop limiting itself in terms of design just because others used it. On the topic: Is gender really that important? No voice dialogues, no statistic differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doom_Bunny Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) Fine make a different frame female something that seems to fit a bit more What about a pirate? Some of the most fearsome pirates were female, they would of made Edward Teach quake in his boots. Take note: The reason as to why Edward Teach is so famous in piracy history is because of his many "run in's" with gov/royal officials. Now take a look at Ching Shih. No? Ok how about a "samurai", before samurai was even a term there was female warriors who used the multiple weapons including the katana. A knight, Joan of Arc anybody? There is a long list of female knights/warriors in different cultures but I'll just put the obvious one down. Shaolin nun, Ng Mui. Enough said. Gunslinger oh wait. Lots of stuff in mythology as well. The Amazons in both Greek and Roman myth. Goddess of; hunt, war, blood shed, list goes on. Russian urban myth of the White Tights. Female sniper mercenaries.

TheHourMan Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 So does anyone know if DE said anything about when they were hoping to get her out? My guess is either in 15.3 or 16 along with the new enemy faction and infested salad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatfunker Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 this is sad, i don't even know what to say except, What Is Your Problem? so say you look at Mag: great against corpus & can be really powerful! but you say: argh! a female. half the time i don't see the gender at all, i see stats & abilities (and team usefulness) this is not WoW you can change frames whenever YOU want!!! piece of advice OP... when you're in battle don't look at your frame, look at your enemies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)Grihaly Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I have to agree with OP, when I hear "gunslinger", a woman is the last thing I think of (last out of 2 lolzorz) But really, the Gunslinger should be male. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netsuki Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) A discussion like this wouldn't need to happen if there were gender options, but alas, not one. I don't care either way regarding what gender this new gunslinger warframe is because gunslinging has no gender context for me. Sure, I can think of cowboy movies of back then with plenty of male leads, and of course names like Billy the Kid or Clint Eastwood's characters... but recently the gunslinger thing can go either way or between in entertainment media. And yes, I prefer rolling female frames/player avatars in MMOS and RPGs for all of the reasons anyone can think of. What does disappoint me about her design is that it wasn't the conceptualized Durga gunslinger-hindu goddess hybrid frame that is in the Fan Concept thread... that one looked interesting :< Edited November 21, 2014 by Netsuki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaerion Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Lights flickering. ... A sudden Radial Blind occurs, and a deep voice resonate throughout the room: 'You will be judged, Tenno.' ... When the screams and sounds of combat ended to leave only silence... The smell of the fresh blood of the victims was hanging all around. Darker than shadows, a fancy silhouette was kneeled on the ground Sparkling odd soothing gleams all over this pacified violence. The voice raised again; You were fighting for pride and a wrong cause. Seek a new Path, Tenno, and change the flaws To help you surpass the odds you oppose. This thread will remain closed due to unconstructiveness and high derailment potential (dozens of replies hidden).Moved from Offtopic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
