The Women Of Warcraft
Just another attempt to obsolete real women…
Wow… Geekery has just reached new heights!
Apparently, gamedaily.com has taken to looking for World Of Warcraft characters that resemble real life female celebrities, with an even more disturbing “hotness factor” score.
So they took some time to actually create World Of Warcraft avatars that resemble real life women!
(As if the real thing could ever be replaced. =)
Here’s the list:
- Female Blood Elf - Lindsay Lohan
- Female Night Elf - Catherine Zeta Jones
- Female Draenei - Charlize Theron
- Female Gnome - Natalie Portman
- Female Human - Eva Longoria
- Female Orc - Jenny McCarthy
- Female Scourge - Victoria Beckham
- Female Tauren - Big Momma (or any other big black woman)
- Female Troll - Pink
You know, this is almost as disturbing as the conversations about how hot Bugs Bunny was when he dressed in drag. I guess people who’s lives revolve around these games need SOME outlet to fantasize about. But the problem I have with a lot of these games -ESPECIALLY World Of Warcraft - is that guys that play the game tend to forego actual human interaction in exchange for a life in a “virtual world.”
Not only that, but there’s also a disturbing trend in “online gender swapping” where a lot of guys actually choose hot female avatars to play games with, as though they’re trying to compensate their lack of female companionship with roleplaying as a female character.
Now, having played WOW myself, I know how fun the game is. But it’s no substitute for living a real life. I know some people who’ve met girls through online games, but it seems like that’s the exception other than the rule. I personally believe that stuff like this - drawing parallels between online female avatars and real life women - is unhealthy.
The LAST thing most guys need is stuff that further erodes their social skills.
