RPS complains about Resident Evil 3 Remake's violence against women

[Barnabot]

Since brap is not here anymore ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

here's some juicy stuff:

I do kind of want to flag the whole “violence against women” aspect of Nemesis, and of the game in general, as it’s hard to deny it’s a theme, or that it’s presented with at least a little relish. I realise it’s completely unreasonable to single out RE3 for this when, y’know, *gestures at the entire history of the horror genre*. And in fairness, you play as trigger-happy mercenary Carlos for a good portion of the game, so you get to see loads of lingering close ups of a man’s neck getting devoured like a late night burger, too.

But… yeah. There were moments while playing when I just felt uncomfortable. Jill isn’t too obviously a vessel for anyone’s fetishes, but realistic as she is, she’s clearly designed to be sexy. And she spends an awful lot of time being hurled into things, slapped about, grunting in pain, being asphyxiated, and either struggling to force assailants off her, or being graphically murdered by them. There was one particularly rough bit where one of the previously mentioned spider monsters strangled her with tentacles, then rammed a bigger tentacle down her neck to pump her full of parasites. Watching back through my capture footage for screenshots, I could hear myself mutter “not cool, man” into my headset. And it doesn’t happen to Carlos.

I wasn’t even kidding on Nemesis having sleazy dom energy, by the way. Jill’s ex-supercop colleague Brad mentions Nemesis having a “hard-on” for her, and when Carlos is introduced – while saving Jill from a mangling at the hands of ol’ bagfists himself – he quips that Nemesis “knows what it wants, and won’t stop till it gets it – don’t you like that in a man?”
“No thanks,” replies Jill, “he’s all yours”.

Oh not Carlos what's is doing baby /s

I actually liked the interactions between Carlos and Jill, and they worked well to dispel some of the general miasma of yikes mentioned above. Carlos (who is also sexy, though I can’t work out whether that’s because of or despite his ridiculous hair) is a prick.

I need to see this so I can be outraged

anyone has a video?

this i guess?

 

[JasonVA]

Having read the article, seems a kind of random thing he/she put in there. Doesn't really go into detail how the violence in meant to be portrayed specifically as violence target as women as a wider issue, or detail about female abuse?

 

[Birdo]

 

[Nankatsu]

So basically RE3 has a hentai sub-plot? Now I understand why the game is 60$ and not 30$.

 

[angelic]

White Knighting in 2020, utterly embarrassing.

 

[kittoo]

So Carlos getting fucked up by Nemesis is not an issue at all, but Jill getting fucked up is? I thought you guys liked equality! /s
This outrage culture is bullshit of such a high level that it makes me wonder if these people have completely lost all the use of their mental faculties. The meme of these being NPCs really makes sense. All their existence is spent on getting outraged on the smallest of things.
Poor capcom. They clearly made Jill much less sexy. Made her a normal woman with no skin show. And yet...these retards finds something. What planet do they live in? How miserable an existence that all of it is spent on finding faults in things one should rather enjoy? What the fuck is Jill character to do otherwise? Not get attacked at all? Not be hurled or bitten by a zombie? Not cry at all after getting attacked? And all that even though the same happens to Carlos too? What is wrong with these people??

Edit- LOL. A guy wrote this. major simping here and I guarantee it will still not get him laid. It will only make him a laughing stock. Out-outraging girls wont get you laid brah. Actually, challenging their position and having an actual logical stand of your own might. But please keep trying.

 

[Saber]

Does he even know that Nemesis is a super viral zombie monster freak, not a man? And that it wants to kill members of Stars and that includes Jill?

No?

 

[marianus]

Violence against women is games is equality and progressive. I thought they should like this?

 

[PocoJoe]

It's a video game, he should not play it if he cant see difference between facts and fiction.

And as always, killing million men is ok but women are holy cows?

 

[Barnabot]

the journo was clearly jelly about carlos' shaggy hair.

i have this hair too

 

[SuperGooey]

The article is a lame attempt to get clicks by drumming up a fake controversy. It's best to ignore it and move on.

 

[Zefah]

RPS still at the whole virtue signalling game, huh?

Really sad to see what that site became. I liked them as a mostly quirky British PC games site back when I first found them in 2008 or so.

 

[kiphalfton]

Well there you have it folks, Jill Valentine liked it (so it was in fact consensual and okay).

 

[Papa]

No controversy without an audience. That audience needs to be laughed at and bullied into submission.

 

[GHG]

this i guess?

Meh.

Seen worse on pornhub.

 

[vvinter]

WUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTTTTT?????????????????????????????????????????????

 

[vvinter]

this i guess?

She got pregnant or wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutttttttttttttttttttt?

 

[MiguelItUp]

God, this is so stupid, lmao.

 

[waltyftmus Prime]

She takes it like a Champ.

 

[AmorousBiscuit]

It's almost like this person fails to understand Nemesis is created to single-handedly wipe out the S.T.A.R.S. team.

Fucking hell RPS. Have some common sense.

Adding up all the SJW complaining in games, the message I'm getting is that the perfect female character isn't sexy or feminine, basically looks and acts like a dude, is physically strong and should mostly be the one inflicting pain/damage and not the one receiving it.

The perfect female character is Kratos:

She is showing too much skin to be a worthy heroine.

Sorry, that's insensitive on my part:

Better?

 

[Moses85]

Don’t give this shit any Plattform.

 

[LemmingWithaParachute]

I was so gutted to watch that site succumb to the sjw lunacy back in 20...13/14, i think it was. It happened almost over night with articles about Quiet from MGSV.

I got banned for saying its just a video game. They were resetera before resetera was a thing.


I really enjoyed their retro articles and discovered so many games and mods.

Tell me about it. They were one of the best PC focused sites around and were my ideal replacement for when PC mags became really watered down around the PS360 gen.

That site had some of the best articles, the Sunday Papers i think it was called was one of my favorite.

 

[Gargus]

If you have violence against men then you should violence against women also. That's equality. Thats being fair. That is exactly what everyone is bitching about, being treated as equals.

Either its all ok or none of its ok.

 

[DoctaThompson]

When i read RPS, I was think Raccoon Police Station, but Holy shit, this is a serious post.

this i guess?

She handled that like a champ. Nothing like a sexy woman who can deep thro.... Wait a second!

Funny thing is you know they would take umbrage at Kratos being a parent. "I can't believe they stereotype all females so much that this is turned into a mom simulator which reinforces the patriarchy!"

As for the article, me and my friend laughed our asses off at it when I found it. The best part is how thrown in those sections were - it was like he wrote a legitmate review then realized there wasn't any kind of virtue signalling bullshit and added them later. No way that happened because we know these types go into reviewing a game with those things at the top of their list.

Games media is beyond laughable at this point

 

[ILLtown]

 

[EverythingsOverrated]

This picture would be hilarious if it was intentionally ironic. Instead, it's....actually it's still hilarious.

 

[Sota4077]

So in 2020 if you do not have a female minority lead in the game you are a piece of shit sexist. And if you jump that hurdle and do put a female in it she had better not suffer violence or you are still a sexist piece of shit? Gaming journalism is a joke.

 

[kingbean]

Does he believe this or does he want clicks?

 

[Can't decide]

"Violence against women in video games"

 

[LemmingWithaParachute]

How many of these people inhaled Game of Thrones without even blinking.

Sums up my thoughts. PC Zone was excellent for a long time but RPS became my go-to read because they were covering cool games others missed. Then they disappeared up their own backsides which is just so disappointing.

Yeah, If recall, all these sites seemed to just flip on a dime around the same time. It was nuts seeing it happen in real time.

What really caught me off guard was the amount of people who welcomed the change of tone via their opinions/comments and attacks on people wondering wtf is going on, in the comments section.

Most of the fat bald cunts that went SJW were previously awkward as fuck "I will objectify women in creepy ways" nutjobs.

Look at this old article on Kotaku for instance: -

Visitors to the London Games Festival this weekend will get a rare opportunity to get close enough to Ubisoft's Jade Raymond to bathe in the warm, flowery scent she leaves in her wake everywhere she goes.

She'll be making an appearance at the flagship HMV store on Oxford Street on Saturday afternoon to promote some game about assassins doing some sort of thing, possibly killing that band that sang the "Can You Take Me Higher" song.

The press release says something about showcasing new levels from the latest version of the game, but that's neither here nor there.

I'm personally hoping she announces a new game where you just move the camera around a 3D model of her person for hours at a time. I'd pay a hundred dollars. Or pounds. A hundred pounds of dollars. Hit the jump for the considerably more sensible press release.

Jade Smells Pretty At London Games Fest

There has never been any point in my life where I would have written anything anywhere near as cringeworthy as that, but this is what these cunts were like.

Jim Sterling is another one. That guy seemed to have a genuine disdain for women before flipping and becoming a retarded SJW.

One of Jim's deleted articles: -

 

[Barakov]

Why in the hell do all these fucking people look the same?

 

[LemmingWithaParachute]

Why in the hell do all these fucking people look the same?

NPCs

Theyre like the inbred off spring of the genuine chilled hippies from the 60s/70s.

 

[TLZ]

He should complain to the Zombie Committee in Zombieland. Maybe they'll reconsider.

 

[ILLtown]

Why in the hell do all these fucking people look the same?

It's so common that it can't be a coincidence.

I think it's because they're the type of people that had a certain shitty experience earlier in life. Ignored by women. Bullied. Mocked.

It seems like it goes one of two ways for those types of people. Either SJW or incel. The two extremes.

I might sound like a prick mocking these folks, but I don't typically mock people for the way they look or for bad experiences they've had, but I just can't stand these self-righteous wankers, and there is a pattern that you can spot that links them.

 

[mcjmetroid]

So in a zombie apocalypse the Zombies are being sexist? This is in a review too.

Wow. 100% desperate for clicks here.

 

[SLB1904]

Women in videigames were a mistake
I dont know about you guys but when i see a woman i just want to protect her

 

[Bartski]

A common mistake in setting oneself up to score among lifelong basement dwelling cock fappers

 

[mrMUR_96]

I thought this was just some simp you found, but it's this guy who wrote the article. This is pure cringe.

 

[Aion002]

Gaming websites these days are mostly a sad thing, they are unable to be the first ones to put most of the news out there, so they just make click bait and outrage articles trying to keep the users afloat.... And things are getting even worse, since Sony, MS and Nintendo are more and more focusing on their own means to deliver information to the consumers.

Soon they will be like gaming magazines. However, their end will be a pathetic one if they keep pushing idiotic articles like this one.

 

[Velius]

this i guess?

Fucking hot as fuck

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

My God, I didn't know you could fit your head that far up your ass.
