Not safe for women?

 

[clem84]

I have just learned that I see women as objects, I want them to obey me and I enjoy beating them. Never realized it. Took me completely off guard.

Not safe for wank i think, better put a spoiler on her dude.

This is nuts. Yes, its true that sexualization and beauty standards have probably fucked a lot of people up mentally, but that is nothing new. Stellar Blade didn't suddenly do something new by making an attractive main character. This guy is scapegoating a video game for a problem that has existed since we were all born. The same way games and media have portrayed women as generally good looking with good proportions, men have also been portrayed as strong, hyper masculine, tall, dominant, etc...

What rock has this dude been living under?

 

[Dane]

For a French person this is even odd, they are regarded as one of the most politically incorrect in Europe.

Both sexes objectify each other. Men objectify women as sex objects. Women objectify men as tools to benefit their lives.

This guy must be getting laid so much. I’m jealous.

 

[Die Namek Ability]

But it's totally cool for the media to portray male super heroes as giga chads with the only possible way to achieve that body is to inject steroids into your ass?

I don't care either way but the hypocrisy is rich.

The only people that get offended by attractive people are those full of envy. Akin to a child that sees another child with a lollipop

I have no words… well I have one - Chatte.

Shutting down Mental Asylums was a mistake. We need to reopen and build more. That's one thing my tax dollars could go to that I could actually get behind. Keeping these lunatics away from society.

This is what happens when you play video games with sexy women in them.

We need more games that look like this, I think it’ll really reduce incidences of anti-female violence and murder:

 

[Crayon]

McDonalds did not put sauce in the bag with my nuggets. Literal genocide.

 

[Fake]

What a pussy.

 

[nush]

The most enjoyable thing about Gamergate 2.0 is seeing gaming journos taking the L each week and not yet coming to the realization that they no longer have any power.

That's a fucking horror movie! That middle pic should be on the cover of a horror movie!

I still can't get over this character. WTF were they thinking?

Oh my god I'm going to see that face in my dreams!

 

[Danjin44]

 

[Mister Wolf]

These people haven't realized that their guilt tripping and shaming tactics won't work anymore.

 

[Skifi28]

So, when are we locking up the real life attractive women? Surely they can't be allowed to roam free and have men sexualize them.

It's always interesting how feminism went from allowing women to dress as they like to now being told to hide their bodies.

You said "dreams", not "nightmares".
Something you want to tell us?
It's ok, it's 2024 afterall.

[Hayabusabruh]

I'm just imagining the person that this rhetoric actually works on. 'I'm gonna cancel my pre-order. I'm no monster'.

 

[realcool]

Those people are truly beyond help. Is the "gaming journalist" title these days just like a public toilet that anyone wants, they can use it?

"literally killing women"

ok well i did my research and, as of 2021, the top 10 causes of death for women in the United States of America are

1. Heart disease
2. Cancer
3. Stroke
4. Chronic lower respiratory diseases (CLRD)
5. Alzheimer's disease
6. Unintentional injuries
7. COVID-19
8. Suicide
9. Hypertensive heart disease
10. Lower respiratory infections
11. Beautiful Naked Big-Titty Video Game Women

oh fuck... he's right.

Oh I definitely dont think he is at all

It's Literal Friday

 

[xiskza]

We're back to the 90s when serial killers were blamed on video games... this time by so called "progressives"

My god, this is what brainwashing does to people!

Sie muss nicht schön sein
Sie muss nicht klug sein
Nein
Sie muss nicht reich sein
Kein Model mit langen Schritten
Doch dicken Titten

Backstory is that she was shot in the face or something?

 

[mckmas8808]

There will be a day when people actually talk about Stellar Blade, as a game, and not yet another twitter issue over it.

But today is not that day.

My god, I can't wait for that day to come. But IGN's employee here doesn't make it any easier.

Is your avatar from a new berserk anime that i missed?

 

[Facism]

Christ, some of these people need a father to tell them to shut the fuck up

 

[lughnasadh123]

People abusing others are doing so regardless of a fucking character design, sexy or not. This kind of crap has been going on since the beginning of life. Did they think oh shit, sexy cavewomen scrawls are leading to the rise of clubbings at home. Gotta get on top of this shit.

The extra "men are gross, so it doesn't count" double standard of fetishizing males is a cute double standard.

 

[Mossybrew]

Why is this just a videogame thing? Where are the broke-brains out there protesting Sydney Sweeney because her rockin bod and fantastic boobies set too high a standard? Sydney is literally killing the chubbo women who can't live up, who will speak for them??!!

 

[mckmas8808]

Surely he gets fired after this?

I think he needs to meltdown one or two more times. But he's getting really close to needing to be fired!

 

[Roman Empire]

The good old still stands. Can't spell IGNorant without IGN.

 

[Madflavor]

Backstory is that she was shot in the face or something?

Backstory is that she gave up modeling and became an adventurer after losing a beauty contest to a German Shepherd's shaved asshole.

 

[Varteras]

I was going to make a joke about him being French. But, I think I'll just wave the white flag before I even get started.

 

[Woggleman]

Pandering male feminists like him are actually the ones most likely to have a secret abusive side. Men who abuse and rape women don't do it because of sexual attraction but because they enjoy harming and controlling them. It has almost nothing to do with sexuality. Sex might be the weapon but it is not the end goal. There are plenty of red blooded men who love attractive women who would never dream of harming one.

 

[ShadowkillXNA]

Fuck you.

In your dreams? Or your nightmares?
Context is always key.

 

[Madflavor]

Is your avatar from a new berserk anime that i missed?

I really wish, but no. Just a talented artist I think.

 

[GymWolf]

well we still have this buddy

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Backstory is that she was shot in the face or something?

She got hit with the ugly stick by a man whose mind was corrupted by attractive video game characters. Now she’s on a quest for revenge.

 

[kiphalfton]

Is this moron unaware of porn. Shits been around forever. Not sure why they're attacking this game.

 

[Mr Moose]

Backstory is that she was shot in the face or something?

No, she's British.

 

[nowhat]

I just showed the Stellar Blade demo to my 17-yo daughter, and asked if she was offended. Granted, she does like the anime art style (but on a very superficial level, just drawing, she's far from a weeb), and to my surprise, she didn't kill herself. She said Eve looks neat.

 

[CrustyBritches]

Sounds like he’s assuming gender.

 

[Raven117]

Ya know what is strangely ironic about all of this?

Most of the studies surrounding dating (especially online dating) show that WOMEN tend to have significantly higher standards (or rate themselves too high) in the dating pool. Men tend to have more realistic expectations about what their "league" is.

But then the criticisms of beautiful women in entertainment is that MEN will now have too high of an expectation for women.

Its just weird.

Everyone likes to look at beautiful people. This is simply a true statement whether one likes it or not.

 

[Dokku]

I wasn't planning on buying this. But now I am just to spite cunts like this.
