Engage in conversation ? They ban people who ask them questions or ask them to cite examples / sources. "Centrists" are not allowed.

They're so out of the loop. And before people come with the victim blaming card: the damage to the victim is already done. It's about preventing the same thing again. As a kid I was being told to avoid dark and unilluminated alleys, or you don't go into woods at night alone because of boars in our woods. If I got hit by a boar I'd want people to know so they don't do the same mistake. That's why there a sign posts about bears, snakes or any other danger that is likely to happen if you don't watch out. And how do you get there? By asking fucking questions.

Anyways, here's Bill Burr's take on that:

 

[Urban]

isn’t Mr. Popo based on a Hindu God which was black and had some kind of time power?

"In so many games" and with that "it" exposes itself as a pervert

oh my sweet little baby, i bet you always are, and not just "sometimes"

*looks at avatar. *turns head to the public. -need I to say more

damn, misandry much?

First: Who was the Gaffer in that subreddit?
Second: How can a studio be incredibly misogynistic while celebrating the female figure like the masters of ancient Greece and the Renaissance? Furthermore, how badass is to have a group of strong women fighting to save mankind and the earth. Isn't that so empowering?

Pedo alert.

i will argue that it is more distracting than anything else.

The first part is kind of... misogynistic don you think?. regarding the second part. I am convinced there is a Japanese hero who fought until the end to make this deal happen

 

[Lucumo]

Well it's apparently supposed to be a "British" setting, innit?

 

[SSfox]

It's kinda saddening that one of my favorite studio like SSM did something with this sick lunatics imma throwing my GOWR in the trash and no more Insomniacs games for me even if it's free on ps plus I won't touch this garbage

 

[Draugoth]

The Stellar Blade stuff is hilarious.

"Just watch porn. Why does it need to be in games?"

Just play a different game, you fucking dunderhead! Why does your terrible needs and wants have to be in every game made? I don't particularly like sports games, I'm not screaming at people to just watch actual sports instead of taking over all of my precious games.

What these echochambers fail to realize is that game studios have the right of creating games that have semi naked woman the same way they have the right of creating a LGBTQ+ celebration game,

But in the end it doesnt mean that the latter game will sell, (or vice versa), which is why Sweet Baby Inc exists, they know a open LGBTQ+ Game made by them won't sell 90% of the time, so they highjack other games instead.

 

[Moriarty1889]

This is exactly what i was thinking. Stellar Blade is, if anything, an exception rather than a norm.

And another thing i dont get is that games with female protagonists who have their sexuality/physique toned down are still massively successful, and these people are somehow still complaining ?

Look at the Tomb Raider survivor trilogy, Horizon games, Control, Assassin's Creed Odyssey (and Valhalla also i guess), Returnal, A Plague Tale, Hellblade, Alien Isolation (please tell me if i have missed any obvious ones). Critically and commercially successful games, that i personally love. All have female protagonists that are not sexualized in any way (in the games themselves, R34 fandom is another thing entirely).

They hate sexy women. Period. They will shriek and virtue signal anytime one is in a video game. They would rather have manly women or trans women in gaming and they would be very vocal about how thats what women should be like. They are sick minded weirdos who need to be put in insane asylums.

Yes SSM sold themselves out for the sake of DIVERSITY and VIRTUE SIGNALING. GOW Ragnarok made me throw up. Long gone are the days of incredible GOW experiences with him being what Kratos was born to be. An absolute killer instead of an old dad with issues.

Some of the old usual suspects are circling the wagons.

It’s 10 years since Gamergate – the industry must now stand up to far-right trolls

Conspiracy theorists are still routinely targeting and abusing women and ‘woke’ game consultants. With a small studio currently under fire, the games industry’s silence is deafening

www.theguardian.com

Wonder why they stopped saying "gamers are dead" probably because it became "gaming journalism is dead" there's a reason content creators give more indepth reviews these days.

Oh how strange the person who wrote this article worked for Kotaku, and quote other writers who work or worked for Kotaku, but that's just what they would call a "conspiracy theory" that they all happened to work for the same blog that they call a news site at some recent point in time and made articles at the same time.

What are they going to do? Have Microsoft lobby to make it a far right terrorist offence to not buy a game pass?

Well it makes it hard to talk to people outside of the gaming sphere, because the first thing they get when googling will be these articles all from different publications saying the exact same thing. So these all coming out at the same time from a group of journalists that all know each other is just thrown as a right wing conspiracy and they control the narrative.

 

[GloveSlap]

not so true

I'm still hoping this is a joke in the game. I actually find the design amusing in a Shrek-esque satirical way. I'm sure it will be played straight though, which is a shame.

End wokeness. Such an interesting phrase. The war of words is nothing but a preface, a prelude for the true war. It's a war of ideals. It's a war of morals. It is a war against a very specific demographic.



I'm no zoomer but my understanding is that the term "woke" is a play on the word "wake." As in.... wake up.

Hope I don't get banned for this. People who cling to traditional morals--- not people who want to just stay stuck in the past, but people who want to interpret and integrate fundamental morals into the future--- WAKE UP. UNDERSTAND that you are under attack and you're being gaslighted, like the biggest, baddest, most cunty ex you've ever had. YOU ARE BEING LIED TO. You're being subverted, insulted, ostracized, demonized, and hunted. And you are being BLAMED whenever you point that out. WAKE UP.

FIGHT. END WOKENESS. People hate you for being white.

PEOPLE HATE YOU FOR BEING WHITE.

That's it. I can end it right there. It's just flat out racism. People want you dead because you're white. They want to molest, rape and ruin your children because you're white. They've been infected with this annihilation virus and it's not enough that they end themselves, they want you to end as well.

People who call you conspiracy theorists are shills. When you point out that people of other races are not hounded and hunted like this the IMMEDIATE AND DEFAULT RESPONSE is to say "Oh no, poor white oppressed people."

That kind of response is a logical fallacy and indicative of the fact that they're not concerned with any perceived barometer of justice, they just want you to suffer. THAT RESPONSE DIVERTS FROM THE POINT. They're lying. Someone is on top of you with a knife to your throat and calling YOU entitled.

There's nothing wrong with being white. It is not a fucking crime to be white. There is nothing wrong with being PROUD to be white. If that makes you uncomfortable replace the word "white" with any other term and then fuck off.

I've seen dozens of videos on twitter of what appears to be black on white racially motivated crimes. Being assaulted violently, I've not seen any videos of the roles being reversed.

It's scary that the higher ups have managed to incubate this exact thing in people's minds where it's socially acceptable to hate on white people. You get in trouble for posting it's okay to be white in the UK. I don't think people realise how bad this ideology is mixed with all the illegals coming through the border.

I'm glad I live in a village because if things go to shit...

Just have to not let them redefine the word racism to not include white people, because of the whole power vs privilege critical race theory bullshit they subscribe to.

Gamers don't care what non-gamers think about gaming...

Ever since those guys shot up the school and the media tried to blame Doom in the 1990's we haven't given a fuck what the media thinks

This is much worse than you guys think.
These "fauxminists" are actually extremely misogynistic, they hate actual women, the feminine form, they hate seeing women free to show they femininity. Don't be fooled by the fact they label themselves "progressives".

Their real endame is to treat any woman who's not wearing a hijab like it's a prostitute.
That's what's really happening here.

Just listen to them, it literally reads: "how dare they feature a sexy girl in anything else than porn or prostitution rings?!"
They are fucking disgusting scum.
