💫Star Wars Fans 1983💫 We bickered, argued, laughed, and cried together. We loved each other. I've seen it at the Game Store I managed for 13+ years. Nerd culture was healthy in 00's until Disney thought we needed their bullshit opressed struggle. Repost if you agree 🔃 D.E.I
Audiences react to RETURN OF THE JEDI on its release in 1983.

Lara Croft collectors... Check out Christina's lovely Tomb Raider figures! Her gorgeous designs never fail to impress me.
Just playing around with the photo editor in my phone and it made these really cool shots using the recent figure I made :) #TombRaider #LaraCroft

3/3🧵 ▪️Is Survivor Trilogy WOKE? As a '96 fan I saw TR evolve since day one. I loved the reboot (despite the 1st game's lack of tombs, or excessive gun play). New Lara Croft was hot as hell and a believable heroine evolved into a seasoned warrior. The 90's pulpy fiction

2/3🧵 ▪️Sex Sells Tobey Gard & CORE envisioned a game for everyone, regardless of gender! Teenage boys love fit & sexy women. Eidos Interactive needed to SELL a product. They leveraged Lara Croft's striking look to appeal to the main consumer base. Most original Tomb Raider

TOMB RAIDER RANT 1/3🧵 On feminism, sex appeal, and goonery! ▪️Gaming is a male Space At the time of release, Tomb Raider'96 core audience was teen boys. We see it in marketing, ads, gamer magazines, and comics. Female players always existed but men are, by far, more

Good Morning ☀️ SEX appeal is an empowering vehicle for storytelling. It can also be a CHEAP gimmick. It doesn’t make games good or profitable. Good design does! ✔️ Agree ❌ Disagree #TombRaider

CORE team, with Tobey Gard in charge, pursued a great game design for all gamers. SONY exploited Lara’s sex appeal to cater to its core demographic, teen boys and adult men. Despite woke feminist claims gaming largely remains a male space. It’s NOT sexism. It’s demographics
This is the reason why the creator of Lara Croft Toby Gard left Core Design after Tomb Raider 1 btw

Remember OG Tomb Raider reveal in '96 gamer mags? Same year PlayStation had a Sample CD Demo. I was a fan since then!
This one move turned me gay growing up

@SrGarrus No puedes comparar a Jennifer English que nunca ha dicho nada en contra de nadie a la actriz de Ghost of Yotei que cada que puede tira hate, hay que ser subnormal para no entender eso
