Upcoming update to introduce a new walk-cycle for male characters:

 

[Ic3man]

Fuck off Kotaku

 

[Dregnel]

 

[Danknugz]

Who the fuck plays a videogame, and tries to identify as that character, and think they should look lik them in real life?.
And even if that was a true thing, why has it been alright for years to have Arnie looking muscle freaks in games, with no 'worry' about how that will affect men?

because double standards i guess. i don't write the plays bro i just watch them, im a spectator no horses in this race.

 

[Revolutionary]

I see nothing wrong with it

 

[Rickyiez]

People still visit Kotaku? Lmao that site itself is a decade outdated

 

[Petopia]

We also got kof xv coming out today they gonna bitch about that too?

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

Im so tired of this argument, no matter the side.

Let devs do whatever they want and let audience play whatever they want.

 

[BlvckFox]

Fucking impresive. Platinum should sign this man for the mocap of Gayonetta. Would definitely play that.

 

[Tomeru]

Why is everyone mad at kotaku for this scientificaly correct headline? The game started development in 2011.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Transphobic bigot. /s

I don't live in the land of make believe.

 

[Lokaum D+]

Screw you Kotaku.

One of the best commercial ever made

 

[InfiniteCombo]

Without even looking at it, I'm gonna guess the article was written by either that one Zack guy or that Ian Walker guy. It's gotto be one of them; they're the absolute worst when it comes to the extreme left hot garbage they put out.

It's funny, I used to visit Kotaku regularly a long time ago; I guess I should be thankful to them since they are how I found GAF in the first place. But after 2016 they -- like a lot of other videogame and general publications -- just completely lost their marbles and started becoming more (left wing) radicalized to the point where sociopolitical issues started overtaking the main subject matter.

All those years ago, they used to do good videogame reporting and journalism. Now? They're just an extreme left political tabloid with a hint of video game content. Which is why you get articles like the one linked in the OP.

 

[zeorhymer]

This is the same Kotaku that wanted to be crushed by Lady D. So whatever.

 

[DarkestHour]

Love the game, but dislike being forced to being an oversexualized woman. I'd rather be an oversexualized man to realize everything I'm missing in reality.

Are they still massive fucking weebs over there? I haven't visited since Gawker imploded.

 

[CosmicComet]

I hope this comes to consoles. Thank God for Asian devs doing their own thing and not becoming homogenized with fringe Western journalist ideologies.

 

[kyussman]

High heels are sexy though....whats the problem.

 

[Mabdia]

it's all about not making girls/women who play games feel like they have to live up to some unrealistic ideal of what the female body should look like, because it can lead to things like eating disorders, depression etc. i get that.

not sure this fits that whole thing though, seems a little over the top to complain about a walking animation.

Well from what i understand most asian countries dont give a shit about this woke nonsense.
God bless them.

That's why we still have some good looking games, comics/manga and animations.

 

[Haint]

Their body their choice.

 

[LordCBH]

Fuck off, kotaku. Someone should buy that website and put those talentless hacks out on their asses.

 

[BlackOlivesMatter]

lol, fuck off

 

[John Bilbo]

Upcoming update to introduce a new walk-cycle for male characters:

 

[Low Moral Fibre]

I know it is part and parcel of the internet but I wish I could still engage with social media and review sites (which are basically just an extension of social media these days) without the constant whining about politics and cancel culture shit.

It's not just the PC police either as I frequently watch/play stuff that is regarded as woke or pandering and outside of a few cases I've never had an issue or even noticed in 99% of cases.

 

[tassletine]

I once had the pleasure of seeing Beatrice Dalle back in the day. She walked like that. She literally had five men trailing behind her.

 

[Sgt.Asher]

This is what happens to the liberal arts rejects that don't have the charisma to join one of the alphabet media companies.

 

[InfiniteCombo]

Sort of? They still have that one dude that's dedicated to Japan and other Far East matters. He seems like the only one that still writes like he did in the old days and hasn't gone the "left wing lunacy" route.

I myself don't care about anime or anime-heavy games so I'm oblivious to how much of that they cover.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Downloading now

 

[Spaceman292]

Kotaku’s dream woman:

Mine too, honestly

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

 

[Smokken]

Time to move to Afghanistan, I hear the Taliban have solved this issue and are now a decade ahead of us.

It's not a coincidence that most women are pro immigration.

 

[Wildebeest]

They appear to be quite Korean-Phobic and have a nasty US cultural imperialism agenda. Sad to an influential site like that fall to such bigotry.

 

[alabtrosMyster]

The only thing 10 years out of date is this tiresome SJW schtick.
Its time to move on loonies, the masses dont care about your 'cause'.

Yes, this is an old fart millenial thing!

Seriously, this is like the covid measures: everyone sees the holes in the logic when they are in private (family/friends)... but in the public sphere they are there and most people follow them, they will even fight to keep them in some cases (I'm in Canada).

 

[peek]

Even though the article is pretty ridiculous... I gotta agree on the locked gender for classes thing.

That IS outdated. Leme pick whatever class as either gender.

 

[benno]

just remember that Mass Effect Andromeda is what these obese blue haired moaning cunts think women should be like.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

I thought Polygon was left and Kotaku was right? I don't read them enough. Are there any Japanese game centric ANTI-SJW sites out there?

 

[Shadowstar39]

This is fine though...

Its more than fine, they will call it "stunning and brave...yassss queen, i can't even...."

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Imagine letting Westerners have a large scale access to a KMMO

 

[Airbus Jr]

Youre an Era double agent? Trying to attack the walking animation on the game?

This isnt about her clothes or shoes but the way they walk

 

[TGO]

"it seems as if the folks making this game just ignored the last decade or so of discussions and debates surrounding representation of women and non-masculine characters in games."


Yeah, it is called freedom of expression, something you ironically failed to grasp.

More like they ignored Kotatu, Ree and Twitter and actually went outside.

 

[Interfectum]

IMO this is the only acceptable depiction of a woman.

 

[DryvBy]

How dare women not subscribe to Kotaku's feminist way of looking/walking!

If I made video games for a living, I'd troll them by making all my women walk on their hands instead of feet.

 

[MastAndo]

Say what you will about that other forum, but their Lost Ark game thread is very active, so it seems the booba stuff in this game doesn't bother them too much. GAF barely has something resembling a game thread on this one, we'd rather discuss Kotaku getting their panties in a bunch about an animation.

Aw another era member i assume? Is this suppose to be a..some kind of subtle jab mm?

Joined date 2014? Before the split right?

With sifu hfw gt7 elden ring couldnt care less about this game ( srsly never even heard of this game before this article)

Perhaps you can join them there and not bother coming here? Have a nice day

I am not an ERA member. I don't agree with most of what they stand for. I am enjoying the game, so I look for threads where people are talking about it as to learn more about it. Is that OK with you? Calm your ass down, man.

 

[VN1X]

Fucking impresive. Platinum should sign this man for the mocap of Gayonetta. Would definitely play that.

Gayonetta. Brilliant haha

I just trying to point out that this game is so irrelevant for me that i couldnt even bother to look at it thats all

Yeah, but that's just you. There are over 1 million people playing it at this very moment, which is pretty remarkable.
