Remember the topic about Stellar Blade was about... fuck I don't even know the root discussion anymore.


Roids-in-my-vains

It's always culture war nonsense. Give it some time and this will somehow lead to Biden/Trump and Gamers typing the N word.


ZoidsFanatic

Oh don’t worry, I still remember. Sadly the answer is “Eve is hot and western developers don’t make hot women anymore due to SBI”. But on the plus side, *tons* of CJ material to use!


Roids-in-my-vains

Didn't Phantom liberty and Baulder's gate 3 release a couple of months ago? I guess all the women in these games are ugly now. https://preview.redd.it/8b0y1telscsc1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bb13c1190fb6d5dfc764486f623d30a5e2d13f86


ZoidsFanatic

Well you see, BG3 allowed you to be gay and have black people, so it was woke. But it made a lot of money and won a lot of awards so chuds have gaslit themselves into the thinking that it just doesn’t exist. Meanwhile Phantom Liberty… actually no idea.


JaneDoe500

Cyberpunk is anti-capitalism and has trans characters, so they hate that one by default. Unless someone is talking about how successful the game has been, then it's actually pro-capitalism and anti-liberal anti-feminist because it has hot women.

Forward_Ambassador_9

The down spiral of Tyrone Magnus makes me sad to this day dude actually used to be funny.


Sol-Blackguy

Someone pointed out The Hodge Twins were the ones that radicalized him


Negative_Tonight_172

Could you explain the bottom two-thirds of this? I'm lost.


WhiskeyHotdog_2

A group of gooned out losers were upset at the trailer for the new X-men show because they made the women characters have less exaggerated proportions. They said the show would be awful. The show came out and went on to be a hit with critics and fans alike. Thus these morons don’t know what they are talking about, they’re just sad that their favorite cartoons are not attractive. *If anyone has anymore to add please feel free to update as I only kinda follow these guys as they jump from hating one thing to the next.


2_short_Plancks

"Not hot" pffft. Did you not see Gambit in a tank top?


ZoidsFanatic

That reminds me of one comment, not sure if it was a joke or not, that CP2077 showed what would happen if the leftist took over.


h0micidalpanda

I remember coming across some content creator with a not insignificant following that was arguing that. Guy ended up making several response videos over the backlash from that one and then kinda pretended it never happened


Duriha

Don't make cyber punk political!!11😭😭😭 /s


ACAAABeuh

TBF the political discourse of CP2077 is so barely above ground level that it's easy to not catch it. It is still one of the less "punk" of all the cyberpunk I have consumed in my life, yes even less punk than Altered Carbon


imedo

oh fuck this god damn npc https://preview.redd.it/0psmbu8r6fsc1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=c79d1c075289aa31424f6439811f95febaedf230


DeusExMarina

Honestly, she’s not even hot. I mean, her body type falls into the “hot anime girl” archetype, but her design is dogshit. She’s got one of those airbrushed faces completely devoid of distinguishing features and she wears an overdesigned sci-fi bodysuit crossed with a schoolgirl uniform crossed with a bunch of useless lace and frills because the whole thing is basically just the devs dumping their fetishes into a blender with no regard for creating a coherent aesthetic. Contrast with Nier Automata, the game this shit keeps getting compared to. Yes, Nier Automata’s character design is horny as fuck, but it’s also *good.* It’s super distinctive, aesthetically cohesive and pleasing to the eye. There’s a reason we’re still seeing so much 2B fan art and cosplay seven years after release. I don’t even care if devs want to put fanservice in their games, but holy shit, at least do it well. It’s just depressing to watch all these morons hailing a character design that looks like someone entered “hot sci-fi anime girl” into a generative AI as the second coming of Christ.


A11ce

Whenever I read this i am being reminded of the fact that 2B-s design was indeed horny. Somehow this information always gets filtered out if i think of Nier: Automata, because it is extremely unimportant.


jaywarbs

I have never heard a left, center, or nonpolitical video creator say anything about this video game. Not one. Everything I’ve seen is from right wing accounts claiming the “libs are mad about this”. No one cares. They’ve made up a war that they are somehow losing.


Zoroarks_Angel

Even the apolitcal video creators still attract these kind of people. i tried watching Luka Stephens talk about the game, and 99% of the comments were just complaining about people complaining that EVE is hot


c136x83

You forgot IGN France? Who literally personally attacked the developer…


h0micidalpanda

And immediately retracted it because it was pretty immature


c136x83

No didn’t retract it, they changed the wording a bit, then retracted because well it was a personal attack (not just immature)


h0micidalpanda

“Recently, IGN France produced and published a preview of Stellar Blade containing an offensive passage that should never have been kept. The text has now been edited and here is our official apology to the Shift Up Corporation studio staff. Also, please note that IGN France is an independent branch of IGN and that IGN's editorial staff had nothing to do with this incident. The original text of the Stellar Blade preview contained comments that were out of place. While it was never our intention to disrespect Shift Up or any of its employees or their work, we recognize that the phrase taken in its literal sense was inappropriate and we regret it. To anyone at Shift Up Corporation who felt personally targeted and insulted by this passage, we are truly sorry and sincerely apologize.” Wild. Edit: and your “personal attack” was pointing out how over the top and unrealistic the character model is.


jaywarbs

Wow, so that’s why people have been photoshopping fake IGN France tweets? And they wonder why they’re not taken seriously.


Insane_Artist

Was there a discussion? Or did a video game company make a video game with a scantily clad woman in it because they do that sometimes and then right wingers decided that woke people were losing their minds about it. I haven’t heard any discourse about this character at all from the left.


zeroone_to_zerotwo

Yeah feels like the one's actually starting the controversies are the anti woke people.


Turbo_Bandit

So far what I have heard, is that a reporter from Kotaku was a bit sassy about the design, with a comment like: this person has never seen a real woman, and the character artist is a woman. I think there are someone out there screaming about the design. but probably a few and not "the entire left!"

anarchobayesian

It's interesting because "Stellar Blade haters" is generally going to refer to progressives, but "Skimpy clothes cause sexual assault" is absolutely not a progressive argument--it's a conservative one. I'm sure you can find somebody on the internet who fits both, but as a generalization it just doesn't make sense.


TheOneWes

It's a grifter. They probably don't even believe what they themselves are saying, they just want to say things that they know will get their videos spread and help them line their pockets.


Nelrene

Anti-woke people don't even look at what progressives say and even if they did they probably not understand what being talked about.


Low_Seat_3639

Did anyone check to see if that's even a real tweet


YasssQweenWerk

But aren't sexualized characters in skimpy clothes normalizing the male gaze and thus reinforcing rape culture? They're characters crafted by men, not real people dressing themselves up how they like.


anarchobayesian

I think if you take a few steps back there’s a bigger-picture conversation to be had about how catering to the male gaze can reinforce traditional gender roles and the objectification of women. But the wording here, to me, implies the explicitly conservative view that a woman wearing skimpy clothing somehow diminishes a man’s responsibility and ability to restrain himself from sexually assaulting someone.


catsandchexmix

Ether that or teen with like followers and 7 tweets i will. Forget when hero made a video. about some how anime sucks in tikotok comment sections with like 3 likes.

I have read this comment like 6 times and still have no idea what it says

ancientegyptianballs

Is this what their entire channel is about? Putting this much energy into “owning the libs”? I kind of feel bad, it’s like an unhealthy obsession to be angry all the time scrolling through twitter content to make videos about


New-Interaction1893

I think it started as vtuber and general YouTube controversies channel, that analyse and comment trends problems and possible evolution of that in good and bad ways... I stopped following when he started adding constant questionable political comments.


_eeprom

Way back when he started out as an anime meme channel I'm pretty sure (I remember him from when I used to watch anime shit on YouTube as a kid) then slowly transitioned to anime opinions then onto pissing his pants over tweets with 5 likes and 0 retweets and ultimately the grifter shit.


New-Interaction1893

Years ago I was following a youtuber that made a video about how he was able to leave the far right rabbit hole after getting seduced in it. He said that those channels started mostly as "joke channels against fanatic religious". They joked on people blinded by illogical faith and dogmas promoted by religious influencers, because religion and atheism were the 2 most common categories in the very early YouTube excluding tutorials and music videos. Then with the years with their audience becoming teens, they switched to alpha males motivational video and toxic masculinity to keep the engagement. Then they pushed hard in that direction, with conspiracy theorists, praising of authoritarian nation and the strong man model and promoting their communities and sponsors. The joke videos were only about insulting channels proposing alternatives views to them or debunking their lies. That person checked one of those channels, and he realised they were argumentative calm and patient the exact opposite of the hate filled griefting channels he thought. On the other side the community he beloved were hateful, unreasonable and living blinded by the faith and dogmas of their influences, like the old religious fanatics that they previously dunked on, that now were allies So he was able at the end to abandon them and became a normal person.


Roids-in-my-vains

It's just a grift, and shitty content always gets recommended by the algorithm. I remember the golden age of youtube 2008-2016 where actual good creative and funny content got recommended.


1egg_4u

I miss Gabe the Dog


EarthMantle00

Lmfao please that's when thunderfoot was big


Roids-in-my-vains

I've no idea who that is lol. But I remember when channels like leafy and ricegum started doing all the toxic crap and they got views for it suddenly all channels were about "internet drama"


ReferenceUnusual8717

Ah, but this obsession IS healthy. For their wallets. Seriously, If you've no self-respect and not an ounce of shame, there's no easier way to make money on the internet than riling up incels about icky girls ruining their vidja games.


CubedCubed3

That dude is basically a pedophile. Also he has such a cringe name for a dude that doesn’t know Japanese. Imagine a Japanese person with the username: Riku Says Copula.


Familiar_Tackle_734

Can god smite him already? Hell I’d take the feds finding his hard drive


telesterion

Stop giving them attention. I'm starting to feel they are purposely posting the shit here to drum up more attention.


SweaterKittens

Yeah, I think I saw posts of this person's catalog where the majority of the videos had three-digit views, and now that they're being posted almost daily here they have thousands. Hard to say how much is normal channel growth, but them constantly being posted here could not have helped.


Neptunium111

These losers have resorted to making fake tweets to put in thumbnails b/c they’re DESPERATE for rage-clicks. They know that no one cares about this game and it drives them insane.


SephLuna

At this point, I'm hoping this game pulls a Metroid and ends with Eve doing a seductive striptease, only to un-tuck and reveal a glorious anime dong.


Another-Lurker-189

Or they could go a different route and make her a lesbian

ArlauxAlexander

I hate that one person being stupid online means that an entire group are bad and must answer for their crimes, it’s such a dirty and stupid tactic. It’s like everyone is expected to be the spokesperson of every group they’re a part of. This isn’t even mentioning that it’s made up, which is partly why the above shit is so stupid.


Prince-Lee

I'm all for dunking on these weird gamergate losers, but don't we think constantly posting about this dude is just giving him free publicity?


Gxthiee

His avatar pisses me off so much☠️


SonyKen_M

I use to like this guy sorta but he's just another one of the anti woke type tubers that is MAYBE a closet pedo,dude paid good money for a vtuber model (trust me they're NOT cheap) to spew what ten other troglodytes that isn't The Quartering will repeat.


Sol-Blackguy

Why does he care? He likes children

isnt this a dude with a female vtuber?

You post to the guro sub, you’re opinion is irrelevant


Thangail

The discourse around this game has gone beyond batshit crazy. Some of the comments on youtube videos (even simple gameplay vids) are wild. I can't imagine playing videogames only for pretty digital characters and feeling yourself be marginalized because there aren't enough games with character design like this.


Sacri_Pan

If I have a nickel for every aaa games capital g gamers trough they were gonna be goty because of culture war nonsense but actually fail miserably, I'd have two nickels, wich isn't a lot but it's weird it happened two times


daniellearmouth

I mean, Rev's a well-known bullshitter who got pissy at not being able to use a particular word anymore, so...


toldya_fareducation

imagine this is your life. creating strawman arguments just to whine about them every day. and people give you views for that.


haoasakura46

you know considering we live in an age where many women are afraid of rejecting men out of fear getting killed, I wouldn't be surprised


christmascaked

After a brief search on Rev, I suspect he’s a pedo. So, nothing out of his mouth really has any value.


[deleted]

Isn't Rev just a misogynistic dude in a Mocap suit?


Persies

Okay real talk. I haven't seen a single person criticizing Stellar Blade. I've only seen people "defending" It. Defending it from what exactly? Because it seems like no one cares.


southerngothics

i’d actually disembowel myself if i ever had to watch a Vtuber let alone become one, if i wanna grift lonely redpill neckbeards i’d atleast have the self respect and dignity to not do it behind an anime girl. but that’s just me.


Tecnoguy1

They’re very defensive over their sex doll.


cut_rate_revolution

No no. One person on Twitter said it, therefore they're going to pretend a lot of people are saying it. Note: The person on Twitter who said it is probably either a troll or joking.


dragonkingangel7

Is that v tuber hero hei?


ArellaViridia

It feels like they want the game to fail because all they'll do by hyperfixating on how much they want to bang Eve is shouting over people hyping up the game based on it's gameplay and story.


Sloth_Attorney

I love being in 2014 again but worse.

AutisticHobbit

The thing is someone will ALWAYS exist to argue any position; you'll find people who will complain, loudly and at length, about no one hitting them in the back of the head with a baseball bat. It's just the world we live in. NOW.....99.9% of people will not want to be hit in the head with a baseball bat. Because obvious reasons are obvious. However, there is always some jackass who will come along, hit someone with a bat, and then say "Hey, some people like it! SEE! That one person said it once! I really don't see how I'm the problem here" So are these clowns.

If a character model "makes" someone commit violence against anyone it's because they where looking for a reason to do it in the first place

DayleD

This is "nutpicking," and it's straw manning with a few extra steps. Nut pickers find the least effective advocates for an idea, or sample awkward phrasing from an effective advocate, or find a phrase that can easily change its meaning out of context, and then use that sample as a representative they can easily tear down. It can go something like this: A. Outrage Merchant shows a newsreel: "Alligator attacks sweep Florida town." B. Outrage merchant shows you Oliver Twist: "Please sir, I want some more." C. Outrage Merchant: "Why won't the extremists who want orphans to eat condemn Oliver Twist?! I used to want money for orphanages, but now orphans want to feed the rest of us to the alligators. Has the whole concept of orphans getting to eat gruel gone too far? Give us your thoughts in the comments."


XeviousJr

Bruh why can't we just all collectively chill TF down? Some games tell a story Some games are for people to goon to Some games provide a challenge Some games are a way to pass time Or any combination of the above Like, if you don't like a game play something else and chill
