Blasphemy!

Apparently Leon is on a list of the ten worst video game hair cuts ever! Who could say such a thing? (Men - and men wrote this article. And they're wrong. And it was posted a year ago, but whatever, it's just as ridiculous now as it was then

Wow.... I find their lack of faith in Leon's abilities as an agent disturbing. No seriously now, there are many other characters with crazy haircuts that aren't listed. This person was just looking for something to b*tch about. Pretty lame, really. He's just jealous of Leon's sexy haircut. And, I mean that in all seriousness. :3

He's just jealous of Leon's sexy haircut.

THIS.

Guys have been whining about Leon's hair since RE4 came out, mostly because that's when all their girlfriends started talking about how hot Leon is. XD

Hmmm! Leon's look isn't particularly 'butch' either and that confuses the small but vocal group of men who assume that ladies only like uber butch-looking 'alpha-male' types like Duke Nukem or something. Seeing Leon get all the attention makes them feel as if they've been lied to :D

[stygian_dream]

ROFL!!!!! Agreed lol. Besides, Leon doesn't have to look like Krauser to merit any alpha male badassery.

Exactly, Leon is pretty much the whole alphabet :3

And 'wooo' @ the Catwoman avatar \o/

[stygian_dream]

Indeed he is. <333

I couldn't leave her out! ♥_♥

Agreed. I figured it must be jealousy when I made that accusation that only a man could put Leon on such a list. xD 'Cause only a jealous man could stick Leon on a list for the ten worst haircuts. Never have I met a female gamer that has thought anything remotely like that.

...I forgot to log in to post that. Oops. :D

Don't know if it's my imagination but I've sensed a subtle double standard from a few (usually younger) male gamers I've encountered online towards female fans liking male game characters. I've seen female fans get the 'roll-eyes' smilie from male forum members who at the same time happily leer over the female characters they prefer and woe betide anyone who complains. Seriously, why not live and let live? There's something for everyone.

A source of amusement for me is when popular culture implies that men practically 'own' the whole impulse of finding someone visually attractive and their libidos are way too powerful and potent for any woman to relate to. Yeah, right. And my hard drive is full of knitting patterns instead of pictures of Jensen Ackles shirtless. xD

Haha! It's cool. Yeah. Only someone with extreme insecurities would actually talk trash about a fictional character. I get so sick of these kinds of people. :/
