not acording to me but according to Star Wars Outlaws Actress Humberly González

“Yes, to be a leading woman not just in a Star Wars story but in the video game industry, which also tends to have a lot of limitations and misogyny and kind of in-and-out politics of who can be a part of it and who you want to play as.”

“I am incredibly proud of the team having chosen someone like me, but also only me, that there isn’t a male counterpart to the story of Star Wars Outlaws that we are focusing on a female point of view of a scoundrel story because we’ve only really ever seen males in a scoundrel position,”

and you guys still buy their games

 

[BlackTron]

Hey don't look at me. I didn't buy it.

 

[SJRB]

Shut the fuck up and go make me a sandwich.

 

[Smeg&TheHeads]

Now that's she's done making the game, shouldn't she be back in the kitchen?

 

[Fortress of Regrets]

I bought this game

Shame.

 

[drganon]

 

[cormack12]

She must be so proud of the feminists that made her face look like a scoop of dirty mash.

I also bought the game and am playing fyi.

The audacity of this bitch lol. We made this fucking industry, by buying shit with our hard earned money, now suddenly we cant say if we dont like that we play as a goblin version of her, instead of a Han Solo/Dash Rendar look-alike to feel the full fantasy of a bounty hunter? get the fuck outta here, who the fuck are these people, we made this damn industry. Sometimes gatekeeping is good, look what trash we get now that this stuff is mainstream.

 

[Thief1987]

Who gave this woman rights to talk?

 

[DryvBy]

I bought Stellar Blade. I don't want to play as ugly chicks in video games.

But primarily I just don't want to play the Ubisoft copy/paste games, regardless of male or female protagonists.

 

[LazyParrot]

I'm sure this thread will prove her wrong.

 

[Majukun]

what's the difference between a woman scoundrel and a male scoundrel?

 

[Skifi28]

Wow, a video game with a female protagonist. Breaking new ground everyday.

 

[YuLY]

what's the difference between a woman scoundrel and a male scoundrel?

The first one is incompetent.

yeah , i remember how much little boys had to endure many years ago because they were gamers , they were ridiculed , women were calling them virgin losers all the time and this bitch comes along and says that gaming shouldnt be male focused

males made gaming what it is today

 

[marcincz]

Lara Croft doesn't think that.

 

[Topher]

She should call Ubisoft the misogynists for creating the female "scoundrel story" with the ugliest, most forgettable character ever.

 

[Skifi28]

what's the difference between a woman scoundrel and a male scoundrel?

One of them has a vagina, while the other has never been done until now, apparently.

 

[winjer]

It's surprising the amount of people working in the gaming industry, that despise videogames and gamers.
And of course any criticism consumers point to any game, will be viewed as hate speech.

I can't imagine Ford, Volkswagen, or any car company insulting drivers, because they didn't buy one of their cars.
Only in the gaming industry are consumers treated like trash.

 

[SantaC]

Wow, a video game with a female protagonist. Breaking new ground everyday.

 

[Mister Wolf]

All I can tell her is "thank you for the compliment". The gaslighting, guilt tripping, and shaming tactics no longer work. Cater to your audience or lose tons of money. It's that simple.

 

[Cakeboxer]

I wasn't sure if i should pick up the game sometime. Now i am.

 

[Kings Field]

Yawn

 

[Holographicman]

I will never understand this, I'm a dude and I'm not some asshole against women. Are they just getting pissed at random opinions of Twitter folk? It really confuses me, most men are not actively trying to ruin your fucking day, we have work and shit and people we love and care about.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

The only thing more annoying than the fake man-hating discourse is the pretense of originality.

"me, me, me and only me"

Fuck off, whiny little bitch.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

God I fucking love treating women like shit

 

[Little Mac]

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Wow, a Star Wars story starring a Strong Woman protagonist. I bet this was a hard sell at Lucasfilm. Way to shatter the glass ceiling!

 

[Topher]

BTW......anyone else come here looking for a raging "fuck you, ban me" thread?

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I don’t listen to ugly character voice actresses. Can someone visibly appealing tell me what she said?

 

[SantaC]

Western women these days...

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Yep. I thought this was some asylum member that came back to "stick it to us"

 

[ManaByte]

I'm sure this thread will prove her wrong.

[HAYA8U5A]

Isn't a big part of the backlash actually defending her against what UbiSoft did uglying her up to be a "real woman"?

 

[Holographicman]

Western women these days...

I think it's a trend online and really has no realistic impact for real hard working women and men out there, if these people want to help out, donate to a charity, do a nice thing for a stranger every day, pissing about things online is selfish

 

[StueyDuck]

the best part about 2024 is that literally everyone is a misogynist, everyone is a bigot, everyone is racist, and everyone is X, Y or Z.

that in turn reverses the cards and means no one is. if literally everyone is a misogynist then what is a misogynist?

 

[Topher]

GAF providing examples of the real thing when presented with utter bullshit.

Good job, GAF.

 

[Northeastmonk]

gotta love when these type of people show up and start telling us what’s wrong. Where were all the females? Oh yea, they were calling us nerds and basement dwellers.

 

[Garibaldi]

I couldn't care less that you're a woman. There are too many much better games out there to play. Make your game unmissable. Don't blame me if you don't.

 

[nush]

I always played as Rey in Battlefront II. My head cannon corrected "The force is female".

 

[Griffon]

Dumb bitch think she's breaking new grounds lol

 

[Rudius]

Misogyny was never an option.

 

[GrayChild]

Imagine describing yourself as oppressed when one of the biggest problems in your life is the lack of female representation in Star Wars.

What a spoiled entitled cunt...

 

[Laptop1991]

We already knew that before any of these Game/ Film, Tv shows failures get released, they keep telling us over and over lol.

 

[Aenima]

Isn't a big part of the backlash actually defending her against what UbiSoft did uglying her up to be a "real woman"?

Yeah, but hey when Forspoken failed it was also because everyone was racist. Its easier to just name call, instead of just acknowledge the game is trash.

 

[Rudius]

Seriously: if there are as many women playing traditional games on console and PC as they say there are, than men not wanting to play as (ugly) women could not be a problem, as they could just sell to all those vagina enabled gamers.

But if most "hardcore gamers" are just good old outdated penis enabled men, than not giving them what they want might be a problem.

 

[mansoor1980]

onlyfans when?

 

[Kurotri]

Is she an idiot? No one had it out for her and people were lamenting the fact that her beautiful looks were uglified in the game. And what she does now is side with...the people that uglified her? Wha???

 

[Filben]

Well, she didn't directly addressed Neogaf. I'm not reading something into it that isn't there. I don't know which of you guys posted on Twitter that pissed her of, but I don't feel addressed.

 

[Moriarty1889]

Screw this wench. Did not buy this game so I wouldn’t have to look at her ugly Troglodyte face. She is just another pissed off angry feminist trying to appease others like her by raging against the system. Her attitude is as ugly as her face in the game. Not surprising either. These toxic people should never be involved in any facet of this industry. Sadly, it is plagued by so many of them who are actively ruining it for everyone else. They want everyone to be as mad and hateful as they are. Truly a sick twisted bunch. Resist and fight back against these vermin in every way possible.
