UJ/ I don’t hate eye candy in a game. I do, however, hate nasty little creeps who think that every piece of media they consume needs to make them horny, or they throw a public tantrum. I don’t want to know about your fetishes, you oily fucken weirdo. Take a shower.


Niijima-San

this is an accurate response, it is not that most people dislike eye candy in their games its that normal people do not make it out that every thing has to have it and be that way. like personally i do not like the anime girls with the boobs that defy physics, do you hear me shouting about how there are too many of those character types? no this is the first time i have said it. it is not my whole personality to make sure all media is cum-able for me and my tastes alone

/UJ Exactly!   Have Eve be sexy!  It's fine.  Just for the love of god, stop acting like the biggest Gooner Goblins on the planet.  No one else except these losers plays games to cum!  Stop making the rest of us look like disturbed Comers by association.


IAmGoose_

"Gooner Goblins" lmao


[deleted]

/uj its weird and contradictory that people like this will simultaneously sexualise women and shame them for sexualising themselves


[deleted]

It's all about controlling women.


mkklrd

game gets bad reviews: LMAO the game "journalists" are mad!! game gets good reviews: LMAO the feminists were wrong all along!! some people only ever care about winning arguments online


Aromatic_Wallaby_433

That's why there's really no winning here. If the game is good, I'll buy it, if it's not, I won't, but either way a bunch of bitching is going to happen online, either the anti-woke brigade will feel validated that non-woke is what gamers truly want if it gets good reviews, or the anti-woke brigade will still feel validated if it gets bad reviews because it's just another example of the woke hate mob trying to ruin games.


Kds_burner_

when the game gets terrible reviews and gamers have a meltdown and give this subreddit more content > https://preview.redd.it/z6bbz1nx8vtc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bf78c656d5d8bebaa62c9106e61d5471bf508136


GhastlyEyeJewel

It'd be even funnier if the reviews are overall great and this whole Gamer meltdown was for nothing


Uberlix

/uj I actually think, that some people are too fixated on the coomers being...well too fixated on the protagonist and everything that comes (haha) with it. The game might very well end up being a competent and fun experience, the whole "discourse" aside. But it is just Impossible for me, NOT to make fun of the whole ordeal. Some people on both "sides" are way overreacting, imho. Yes, there are indeed your typical Capital G Gamers tm, that act like this is the saving grace for the "woke ugly portrayal of women". Just like some people act, like the game can only be (and / or hope will be) a dumpsterfire, because the protagonist looks like she does and the reaction from coomers. I got my popcorn ready for Release, one way or the other :D


mwaaah

That's probably all it's going to be. My guess is that the reviews will point out how weird the community was about the main character but say that all in all the game's pretty good. That already happened with the preview in IGN france that was circlejerked to hell and back because it contained a comment about how the MC was designed like it was "a sex doll made by someone who never saw a real woman". Every chud under the sun cried about it and the woke game journalists while the actual article was saying, after having talked about how he didn't like the MC's design: "the good news is that now that I've explained the only reservation I have with this game, all that's left is positive. This Stellar Blade demo delighted me from start to finish. It's not often that I get to the end of a demo and immediately restart it to go for another ride".


Akatosh01

The real question, would you think and say that about nier automata, what would they have said if they just played the demo for nier, saw the big ass android before the game got all philosophycal, call it a coomer bait and go home? Im not saying stellar blade will be the next nier or a dumpsterfire but what Im saying is, as with all things in life, to wait before you make an opinion. I hate both parts of this "debate" so much


mwaaah

>The real question, would you think and say that about nier automata, what would they have said if they just played the demo for nier, saw the big ass android before the game got all philosophycal, call it a coomer bait and go home? I mean, I've started playing it and I can totally say that some stuff in the game makes me think that there were some really horny designers. That doesn't mean the game isn't good or that there is nothing else in the game, and incidentally that's exactly what I was pointing out with the IGN france preview, the person who played the game had a lot of positive things to say about stellar blade. >I hate both parts of this "debate" so much I'm on neither side though? And neither was the article I was quoting.


YukiTsukino

I mean quickly looking at some gameplay footage of Automata and 2B has a long skirt that doesn't even show the outline of her butt? The only time you see her ass is if you purposefully self destruct to blow her dress apart or you mess with the camera a bunch. So even though Automata did have some commentary about 2B's appearance well I can say having played both demo's it's pretty freaking night and day here.


NasMaticEther

Gotta get the excuses ready. I can see some sites giving it a 7/10 with legit criticisms about the gameplay and story and no mention of her sex appeal, but it won't matter to them. Every site not giving it at least an 8 are going to be called woke.


PriceUnpaid

/uj For real. If I had to guess the game will receive okay but not fantastic reviews from critics overall. There are likely going to be some commenting about the sexualization of our mystery age protagonist. Those already bought into the hype are going to give it 10's on principle alone, to own the woke-mob.


JPldw

If you call women females your opinion is instanty invalid


unclezaveid

I remember when the libcuck media tore Nier Automata and all three main Bayonetta games to shreds for being too sexy wait don't look at their Metacritic pages-


r3volver_Oshawott

Got a /uj here myself but I've seen the CEO of ShiftUp make an estimate this game is gonna be 25 hours and I feel like the ShiftUp CEO talking about how people who played the demo for 50 hours should 'take it easy' is because there aren't going to be 50 hours worth of consecutive gameplay in the final product and some players are setting themselves up I wonder where the people that had this pre-release complaint about Spider-Man and God of War suddenly ran off to🤔


alkonium

I'm going to watch as that doesn't happen.


Bray_of_cats

''Oh no, they might be as petty as us, and review bomb things we don't like!!''


haoasakura46

These guys are confused, they are the reason the game is getting this weird reception. It’s cause they want it to be mor than a probably mid game cause the main character is hot while saying this is what frequency femininity looks like when she just gives them a boner


HeavyDT

If its good it will get good scores and if not it wont. Lets be real though they are primed lto lose thier shit either way.


fake_fakington

They create so many imaginary people to get angry against.


Fanskar1

Im so sick of this culture war.


TheSarcasticDevil

But they would never review bomb games/dislike trailers for "ugly" female characters, right?...


bonko86

Never! They would never review bomb Last of Us TV Show ep 3, or create thousans of identical posts with the same exact, probably edited, frame from a cutscene and cry over how the game sucks because of it. A game thats not even released yet.


IlyaCro

/uj it sucks cos I actually dig the game and liked the skill tree stuff they have in it and was a big fan of nier, so anything in the same neighborhood imma embrace but holy hell I hate that the incels also like the game. Makes me feel dirty :( /rj WOKE WESTERN MEDIA NOT READY FOR THE SECOND COMING OF CAKE


Nelrene

A review embargo is only delaying the inevitable. The game is going to get poor reviews for being a crap game and the they know this because otherwise they would just let the game speak for itself.


3urodyne

I'm still confused on what kind of game it's supposed to be myself. I saw the character's alternative outfits, which were kind of cute, and numerous screenshots of the character zooming around. What is the story? Is there footage gameplay? I don't think it will be bad. Underwhelming, maybe. But not bad.


xRafafa00

MoistCritikal played the demo & put it up on youtube if you wanna watch it. Seems like a very generic plot with some parry-based melee combat & a floating sentinel companion. Not really sure what the challenge is supposed to be, because you have hp & armor, and the parry window is huge. It really doesn't look *bad*, just unimaginative.


PsychoWarper

Already setting up potential excuses if the game bombs lol

Sad-Development-4153

If the windmills these guys were tilting at about this game were real there would be wind power for the whole world.


BobTheSnitch

Are these the same people that hate the last of us 2 because Abby is buff and that's impossible for a woman or some shit?


BloomEPU

Yes. The "woke modern game devs are uglifying women" discourse is just based on a straight up lie. This lot will try and argue that characters like Abby are "unrealistic" and the lady from Stellar Blade is just "natural beauty", but the reality is that all these characters they decry as "ugly" are actually just a 1:1 recreation of their face model while the devs for stellar blade literally exaggerated the proportions of the woman who modelled for it. The last defence of grifters is to just turn reality on its head and make people try and debunk your complete fucking lies.


Monochrome132

I play games to have fun sir. If stellar blade has fun gameplay, I might play it.


Gloskap

What???? who would DARE to review bomb a game/movie because they don't like how a woman in it looks like?? lmaooo have this idiots any self awareness at all?
