These people...
I really despise how ResetEra appears to see themselves as some kind of "Video Game Police".
Ronda Rousey is a very well known public figure. Considering what she is known for it is kind of a big deal for Mortal Kombat to be able to cast here as Sonya Blade.
We are talking about an Olympic medal winner, a US Judo champion, a mixed martial arts champion and these fucking dipshits think that casting her as a character in a fighting game is "problematic"? Fuck off.
Now I would honestly ask these people what position Rousey should be in, realistically. Should she be banned from finding work at all? Should she just be banned from finding work in the video game industry.
Here was me thinking that ResetEra were absolutely 100% against women being excluded from the video game industry yet here they are whining because the wrong kind of woman is being included. Hm.
Makes me wonder how sincere they REALLY are about inclusion in gaming.
I have literally no opinion on her political views because the political views of an athlete/wrestler/actor are of no interest to me. I don't see why her involvent in Mortal Kombat would be problematic at all. Has she done something illegal?
If Rousey hated Trump and spent her days regurgitating NPC phrases then she'd be a badass woman making a name for her self in areas that really are traditionally very male-dominated. Once they realize she can think for herself and isn't afraid to voice her opinions she's "problematic" and the Video Game Police are on the case.
How funny that they are upset because she is a literal playable character!
