Insizer Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I'm surprised that people care about this. This is a game about killing stuff, we don't need gender politics thrown in here. Also, 3 is not that much... at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyClark29 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 why do people care about the gender of the frames? it makes no sense... so what if their are more male frames... so what if their are more female frames.. heck we could have more transgender frames and I could care less. Its a videogame its not real. don't bring this crap to the gaming world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Warframe's Nyx is much of a direct analogue to the Greek Nyx other than name, otherwise she'd have powers related to night/darkness like Nox from Smite (same goddess). Titania is a folklore fairy queen. It's safe to assume any frame with a name tied to history by religion or folklore would match gender, don't see a reason for that to not be the case. There being an offset of 3 more males isn't the end of the world, style and theme should come first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, for the most part that order was kept, in order to maintain balance as best as possible. Then, Octavia was going to be released before Nidus to try to restore the balance of the frames genders. However, Octavia was delayed and released after, and now the next frame is going to be male as well. At this rate, it will actually be quite uneven. There will be thirty three frames soon. 18 of them will be male 15 of them will be female That means after this male frame we will need three female frames in a row to even temporarily bring the amount of each gender of frame back to balance again. Do you even care about this? Do you think it's important? I'm not sure I really care, but I'm also not sure I like the tradition being abandoned to such an extent as it is right now. Should it matter? Does it matter? Should we have a bunch of female frames in a row after this male to "fix this problem", or do you think its not actually a problem? I am curious how people feel about this. Like I said, I'm not sure I really care or not, but I observed this and thought it would be interesting to see how people feel about it. Completely a non issue. Keep gender parity out of this. It doesn't matter if there are three more males than females, they are both very represented in the warframe universe. From some of the most evil villains being female, to some of our greatest allies. That and some of the most powerful frames are female. Quantity does not matter, quality does. Don't bring gender parity or feminism into this. It's done it's part to ruin enough games already, don't let it ruin Warframe too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki is known for illusions and tricks, the Warframe only has the one illusion ability and not a lot of tricks. Visually, Loki doesn't even have horns. Atlas holds the earth, not commands it, and visually, Atlas, well, he has a neck. :/ Hek, one of Atlas' abilities, turning people to stone, is a direct pull from another female diety, Medusa.

(PSN)Ro0kie17808 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I didn't know the warframes were related to male and female deities.

Visually, Loki doesn't even have horns. You think fooling enemies into attacking a decoy, switching them around the battlefield, and removing all of their weapons aren't tricks? Also, he certainly does have horns. They jut out sideways from all of his non-tennogen helmets. 1 hour ago, MagPrime said: Hek, one of Atlas' abilities, turning people to stone, is a direct pull from another female diety, Medusa. Medusa was not a deity, but a monster. If I'm not mistaken, Atlas wasn't technically a deity either. If you're going to claim that they're inaccurate to the mythos, might as well get the facts straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that sweet, someone is trying to stir up sh*t when there isn't anything to actually stir up And if you weren't really sure you cared you probably shouldn't have made this forum topic in the 1st place, it's obvious that you made this post not to start an "important discussion" but for your own self-gratification that you forced a discussion to happen when it wasn't needed. DE is under no obligation to even out the "genders" of warframes "That means after this male frame we will need three female frames in a row to even temporarily bring the amount of each gender of frame back to balance again" Nononono, you don't NEED 3 female warframes you WANT 3 female warframes, for no other reason than gender balance. The 3 "NEEDED" female warframes could have the worst, most rediculous abilites, but all you'd probably care about is that they are even "Who cares what their abilites are, as long as it's even hurr durr" that's what I get from you out of this post Edited April 13, 2017 by ChivalricDeath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just noticed that DE had been going for a pattern for years, and that it is getting a little away from that pattern. I thought it would be an interesting discussion. Personally, I think it has been an interesting discussion, and has been mostly respectful up until now. What's it to you? Why are you getting so bent out of shape because a discussion thread exists? You don't like the topic of discussion, you don't have to open and or read the thread. Are you so upset at seeing the title of a thread about the genders of frames that you had to click and come in and start off with some condescending reply? Because if so, I think the problem here is not with me. Have a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
