    fun fact: the creator and CEO of Shiftup (the company studio) and Stellar Blade is married, and his wife is the chief character artist that created Eve and her outfits. IGN France knew that, and they ignored it to rage bait views, and when "making their apology" they instead doubled down on their actions and basically said they didn't acknowledge the couple's marriage, because their narrative is that the CEO of Shiftup is a misogynistic single man.

    • @MoostachedSaiyanPrince
      @MoostachedSaiyanPrince 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +37

      Exactly. The people making this argument that Lara, Bayo, and 2B are iconic women in gaming so it's okay for them are all hoping that we forget that these same types of people were also throwing hissy fits over their designs back before THEIR games came out.
      And if this game does well, the next time we get a really attractive female character, they'll be including Eve with the attractive women that are "okay" while hating on the new one.
      This is what these people do. They hate on things they don't like to try and take them away, and when it doesn't work, they'll instead try to "claim them" for themselves. I remember seeing a journo make a comic where Lara Croft's big boobs kept getting in the way of her athleticism and getting her killed. Yet now Lara should be supported as an icon for women despite the way they were tearing her down before?
      Then there's all the Bayonetta haters who claimed her game for supported unrealistic body standards. After the first game found success, they turned around and tried to claim Bayo as a gay female icon right up until Bayo 3 came out and confirmed her sexuality.
      These journos are all so freaking dumb and have such short and selective memories. And they are hoping that most people share these traits with them. But we don't, and that's why no one trusts them or likes them.

    The problem with Aloy in Horizon Forbidden West was the fact that they removed things like hip sway and made her chubbier compared to Horizon Zero Dawn. There was no reason for the change, so why make it? Mind you, Aloy is an extremely active character at what could be considered peak physical condition, so being chubby in any way makes no sense in the context of the character let alone anything else.

      While I agree that there is no reason to change her, I don't agree with the rest, because what you say implies that girls who look like Forbidden West Aloy can't be as fit. When you look at certain Olympic disciplines, there will be "chubby" people. Fit or active people are not necessarily thin. Think moderate muscle mommy. Although I have to say that original Aloy was already actually an example of more a natural proportioned human.

    Their excuse for men is that the men are muscular and so it's a "power fantasy" but sexy women are simply objectifying.
    Nevermind that a sexy woman commands more respect and is more powerful than an unsexy one...
    Or that characters in games and media have power levels that have nothing to do with their bodies.
    And when I'm watching media or reading manga I'm not actually imagining myself AS the character.. I'm watching the character as a third person. I don't literally see myself as batman. I'm just watching batman.

    Games began being marketed to boys because of toy stores. When they had to choose where to put them, the chose the boy section.
    Earlier ads for video games show equal amount of girls and boys playing them, and at some point, then only boys.
    In fact, by stereotypes, one would think that videogames would be a girl thing to do: while boys go out and play and are very physical, girls prefer to stay at home and socialize and engage with stories. Of course stereotypes are wrong, but I mean that there is nothing inherently logical about videogames being for boys, except that marketing decision being made so early on and changing the trajectory of the industry forever.

    As per usual the Act Man is a class act. Often times subjects like this are discussed in stark black and white and it is always nice to see someone bring some nuance to a discussion. That said, when it comes to a media product, just don't buy something if you find if offends your sensibilities. I didn't buy Cyber Punk after it came out that CDPR lied about the working conditions of it's staff (dodged a bullet since the game released as unplayable trash). I'm not going to try to shame anyone else into joining me in that choice though.
    As a side note. From what I've seen of the gameplay, Steller Blade looks like a very competent 'souls-like' and that means it is probably great.

    Yeah but the main reason why a developer might make a romance in the game easier to obtain is often so that the player doesn't miss out on how they want their experience to go, usually not because the devs are lazy or because they think badly of the character. This is also the folly of modern games like the Saints Row reboot where they restricted (only) the female body type to a certain degree of shapes. Doing that prevents your player from creating the exact character they want to play as, and potentially screws with their enjoyment. The reason why they don't bother censoring the male characters is because men aren't complaining about it for the same reasons.

You can have overly sexual males, and some average looking males too. It doesn't have to be one or the other, giving variety is the best we can do, to satisfy all parties. Not everybody needs to look like a super model
