The Gaze

SEX.... Now i have your attention the Gaze i won't pretend i am not a person that isn't roped in to something by this since i am the type of bloke who would look back to check what i just saw but this is more than that. Now what i got from this was the idea of making something a sexual object and not a person one example they gave was lara croft now i won't lie i own lara croft games and enjoy them but they put too much emphasis on the butt and chest so while you are playing a little bell rings in your head going 'damn she is hot' and the rest of the brain is like shut up i'm listening to the cutscene.

The Gaze causes a lot of psychological issues due to it stemming from humans finding themselves wanting to be attractive and also those who are interested in the person and if any evidence of this was needed look on social network sites since the idea of gaze is seeping from the sites. Now i will not pretend that i am not a guy who doesn't appreciate looking at a girl i find attractive BUT how i perceive most occasions is 'She is an attractive girl i wonder what she is like' which i think is the combination of the idea of the abolishment of the gaze and the gaze itself together which is probably the best way to do it since it isn't bad wanting to be found attractive.

So is the gaze good answer is yes and no i'm afraid and a lot of people would be arms about it but looking into games again if you created a really sexy character and then after you use the gaze to objectify here she has a great personality, she makes you smile and you care for her at that point she is no longer a gaze since you do not see here as an object in theory so the idea can be toyed with.
The bad now and the best example i can think of is my ex since she was really effected by how see should be seen which wasn't good because we will be sat eating a nice meal and see will stop eating and say i am on a diet so i can't eat anymore, first thing to my head why the hell are you on a diet you are perfect in my eyes and the gaze strikes making her not see herself as a human who has feeling but seeing her self as some guys do and just becoming an object.

At the end of the day it sucks it can work but it is not just the people who implement the gaze which are in the wrong it is the "victims" since will power can move mountain so i am sure it can ignore rubbish in the paper.
