I've playing Warmachine/Hordes for about 2 years and have a decent collection of miniatures. I've only just really started painting my models though. In the past I would start painting and get frustrated with how bad I was and just stop. I'm still a pretty bad painter but I've learned to just paint and not worry about it. Anyway here are some of the models that I have painted so far. They aren't great, but at least they look better than just playing with unpainted models.
Her design just seems sort of boring and lazy to me. I'm sort of disappointed in Kojima. He can come up with this elaborate reason on why she needs to show as much skin as possible, but the best design he can come up with is a bikini top, thong, and stockings?
I'm going to copy and paste what I wrote in a reddit thread. Talking about stuff like this makes me a bit nervous and I was probably going to write something similar. Hopefully that's ok.
I'm trans and want to try and explain why some people find stuff like this offensive. Not the best at explaining my feelings and opinions but here whatever.
Most depictions of trans people in the media are super shitty. Many times trans people are just used as a punchline that boils down to "LOL This woman has a penis!" or "This man thinks he is a woman, what a freak". Knowing that a lot of people think you are a freak or a joke can get to you after awhile.
Baker's joke to me seems to be a less offensive way of saying "Brett Michaels looks like a tr**ny(not sure if I can use the actual word in this sub)". Not sure if that was his intention but that is what I got out of the joke. Being a big fan of Troy Baker and his work it sort of depressing knowing that he probably thinks you're a freak. Does that make any sense?
That being said, I don't think people should have attacked him or anything. Wish people would have just tried to explain why the joke hurt them instead lashing out at him. Also still a fan of Troy Baker just think him making the joke sort of sucks. If I hated every person or thing that made a transphobic joke I would probably hate everything lol.
