Video games are typically made by men for men, in companies run by men in a market dominated by men in a world mostly run by men. The male gaze is the built-in bias inherent in media, like the White Gaze in Anglo/American countries. There's just no such thing as an unbiased person, because all people are people, and the very act of being a person makes you inherently biased against other people.

Gaze shit according to dumb feminist shit I've heard is ultimately men and women having very fundamental thinking differences. Women don't understand the drive for male behavior (I.E the need for violence or "challenge") and men don't understand women (Women getting "the ick" over trivial things)
Feminists being driven by the contradictory concept of women being a incapable of control through force start trying to idealogically convince men that their perspective is wrong and that they need to start doing everything from a female perspective.
There are differences to how men and women think, though. Women typically prioritize social harmony as a very important value, while men are generally disposed to engaging in risky behavior, such as violence and direct competition, in ways that women are not.
Yes but feminism promotes women garnering control through masculine means because it refuses to view masculine dominance as something achieved naturally. It's all a result "tricknology" and women will not have the "wool pulled over their eyes" again regarding it.
Basically, women know they aren't strong enough to force things but won't admit that their sexual value is a bargaining chip for having some semblance of power over men.
This stresses them the frick out because the only thing ensuring their total freedom is men passively agreeing with the social system that's been established.
But the fact that "An unattractive male" or "men keep making women sexy in videogames" reminds them that they don't have control.
The entire point of Gaze arguments is on par with listen and believe. They want men to view the world from a female perspective and through empathy obtain that perspective in all things.
My sister does this shit all the time. Every male written story is "the authors fetish" + hours b***hing about pedophiles (yes she considers age gaps pedophilia). If something was written by a girl it isn't based on their fetish, ergo more media needs to be fetish free according to her.
While I'm not denying an artist will insert his coomerism into his creations the prospect that this is inherently wrong (or that women don't do the same shit" is annoying. She just wants total control over male sexuality and men lusting over 18 year olds in fiction pisses her off.
Yeah it's all about control. Basically women have turned the government into a replacement for a man, a very cuck tier man who showers her with bullshit and asks nothing in return (except taxes from men).
But even then they realize its such a fleeting substitute(particularly when they realize its soldified with the violence of men). I've been told to basically tell other men "not to rape" before, as if rape is a massive misunderstanding for men, it's all so tiresome.
>goonerbait
What the frick is that? Sorry, I don't speak Reddit.
Why are so many people scared of sexy looking women in media?
But How did children(Yukari,Fuuka) in bikini got a pass in Persona 3 reload and no one gives a shit bout it,
while they say stellar blade's ugly skintight is muh problematic and muh sexualization, spite nobody faps with skintights and Korea bans bikini, having draconic censorship than China and West.
I think P3R's Yukari and Fuuka's swimsuits are more problematic than stellar blade... since bikini is anti woke and most based outfit, and Yukari and Fuuka are 16 so Children. Are JKs(Joshi Kosei, aka high school girl) children?
Not a single person on this planet cares about the gameplay. The only reason this shit heap of a game is even being talked about is because of the hot girl, so normalgay /misc/ culture warriors who don't even play videogames are making it into something political. If the MC were some ugly girl or a generic dude no one would care about it. I predict at least half of the people supposedly buying it aren't even going to download it let alone play it. Just more mindless internet drama.
why are y'all still pretending to care about the "gameplay"?
I care about the gameplay. That's what I would ask about, because the upgrades given in the Stalker fight were noticeable and I would like to know how much more customizable or how much it's built on by late in the game.
Why are you so weirdly eager to tell everyone how they think?
To be fair (as fair as I can be) the guy said questions "pertinent to the thread." That particular thread is where the women and trannies cry about video game women wearing outfits they don't like and not being treated the way they should be (as fictional characters). So he didn't want gameplay questions to begin with. He wanted the gibberish and nonsense he received.
Not that dude but the gameplay is literally all I've ever cared about. I don't give a shit about the character design but that is all anyone ever talks about. It's how I know it's shit.
Because I do. It looks like fun. I'd like to know more about how the gameplay progresses during the game. I consider that a more pertinent question than "how bad is the heteronormativity"
>Calling heterosexuality a manifestation of a cultural narrative via a mythology is allowed >Calling the WW II and the israeli savior epic of defeating Adolf Hitler a modern spiritual creation myth of modern society isn't.
also, Yoko Taro already did that in Nier with the two gay robutts named Adam and Steve. at least make them lesbians if you're gonna rip off Taro since yuri is objectively better than fujohomosexual males.
The problem with these people is if a woman likes a man suddenly she is not a character, but if that same woman liked a girl they would call it brave
Fricking trannies
>The lack of performance attached to Eve’s body has already been noted by internet culture writer Gita Jackson: “[Eve] doesn’t seem to have any reaction to her own sexiness.” There’s no knowing facial expressions, no flipping of her long ponytail — which players can shorten in the options menu. She has no idle animation — except when she’s on a ladder — she just stands there. She’s sexy but doesn’t know it; she’s athletic and acrobatic but entirely controllable. If she did know, if she could move for herself, it would shatter the illusion of many of the gamers championing her because she’d have the agency to be able to reject them rather than simply be controlled by them.
This is gibberish.

Some of what the two cited "experts" say is reasonable, or reasoned out at least, some of it, but not this paragraph by random "internet culture writer", this is just blathering about absolutely nothing.

>the video game player character not talking to the viewer and walking off screen means....male gaze....and autonomy...and uh....male...gamers
I was confused as to what an "internet culture writer" did before. I remain so.

Yeah even in a weak article that leaps out as something an editor should have cut, it's actual nonsense navel gazing shit.
>This is why Wilde reserves judgment. She wants to see how Stellar Blade formulates Eve’s relationships with NPCs in the game, and thinks “it's not only about whether your protagonist is beautiful, able bodied, et cetera. It's also, is your villain scarred, disabled, overweight? Where are you looking for the other areas to avoid those stereotypes and look for other elements of inclusive play and representation?”
It means >Personality is greater than sexuality (because I'm unattractive and this is my cope) >Since she has no personality that means (bad) men must wrongfully desire a woman without a personality >Meaning they are so vile that if she had a personality she would reject them.
While Eve is hardly a bundle of charisma in the demo, and I don't expect her to suddenly be some legendary deep complex character, it is pretty clear from the trailers she's going to have an arc of going from detached and obedient to more humanistic and emotional during the game. She seems to be either an artificial human or at least made specifically to be a soldier, so why she would be "flipping her ponytail" and having "knowing facial expressions" (what, winking at the camera?) immediately after the gameplay starts I don't know. It seems like this "internet culture writer" wants her to be Bayonetta or something?
>this character has to be dressed according to a hypothetical sense of agency that they would have if they were real and had a different personality IRL than they do in the media where they exist, but only if this hypothetical personality has the same opinions as me
But why does no one think children in Bikinis in Persona 3 reload problematic spite Yukari and Fuuka are 16 and they are children, while complaining about Bikini banning nation's skintight on stellar blade which lacks bikini? Who the frick faps over the ugly skintights? P3 reload's bikinis for JKs(High school girls) look more problematic. Isn't Yuka-tan that attractive for them?
>There’s also a peculiar type of Orientalism surrounding Stellar Blade. Some are holding up Stellar Blade as an antidote to woke Western games, and many people commented they’d be purchasing a Japanese version of Stellar Blade to secure access to the region-exclusive Japanese dub, despite it being a Korean game with a Korean dub.
>“Is it because that's difficult to get hold of, so you're a bigger gamer or fan if you can demonstrate that you've gone the extra length to get that version?” Denny asks. “Is it because there's particular respect for the Japanese voice cast? That might be part of these generous readings. Or is it because actually, Korean femininity doesn't have the connotations for a Western colonial imagination that Japanese femininity does? It's almost like in order to fulfill the fantasy of puppeteering this attractive woman and putting her in certain outfits and placing the camera just right, she needs to be Japanese.”
Huh. I remember this homosexual article in the 90s saying that the only reason people played Super Metroid was to have the sexual fantasy of making a woman move as the player desired.
This quote is too close to what that rag was saying. What are the chances?
>Is it because that's difficult to get hold of, so you're a bigger gamer or fan if you can demonstrate that you've gone the extra length to get that version?
what the absolute frick is he talking about?
>Western colonial imagination
Fricking god, I hate these leftist fricktards, everything comes back to this race-baiting shit where they cry about the 19th century.
Extra funny because he doesn't even seem to cotton on to the actual racism of gamers equating Japanese with all Asian countries and considering them interchangeable.
>Korean femininity doesn't have the connotations for a Western colonial imagination that Japanese femininity does? It's almost like in order to fulfill the fantasy of puppeteering this attractive woman and putting her in certain outfits and placing the camera just right, she needs to be Japanese.”
Holy racism batman
The best part is that women love cute characters and dressing them up. Like, check out hatsune, bang dream, any idol shit and like 80% of fanarts are from women
Hell this lady has been creating cute girls her whole life
I also remember everytime my sister, cousins and some female friends started drawing all of them drew cute girls and mascosts. All girls in my school were always buying Sailor Moon stamps too
>all this shit about GAMER CRED and gender whatever
It's just basic weeb behavior. Asian thing, must have Japanese voices. There is a racist element to that, but "Denny" doesn't even seem to notice that, he's too busy trying to overthink his way into the Gordian gender knot
This is so out of touch it's hilarious. Shift Up's main game Nikke has a bunch of popular JP seiyuus and it's common for NA, Global, and even KR players to use the JP dub as a result because it's a fricking anime game. The fact she thinks "people want the japanese voice cast" is an insane interpretation and they must be on some weird orientalism shit shows just how unironically racist her thoughts are.
Japan has a highly developed and robust industry for VA, thanks to anime, and video games too, Korea does not, yet. So you tend to get a lot of quality and professional VA work in JP dubs. I don't know what the nonsense about femininity and colonial is.
It might also have to do with the fact, or at least that's how I feel, that the Korean language is not very nice to listen to, compared to Japanese or Chinese. I don't know if it also applies to irl, but in Korean dramas when especially guys speak,the intonation at the ends of sentences makes them sound constantly mad.
They aren't, feminists just want to control female sexuality in media and not let men profit from it. If you can draw a sexy woman and make money from it you're stealing from women.
Reminder that Korea bans bikini. Moon banned bikini from Korea but Yun seems like they are pro feminist too... See BA having no bikini since 2023, and Stellar blade will have no bikini costume. DFO has no bikini since agent update.
Its actually fine for media to be made to appeal specifically to men, even specifically to straight men.
Nobody is writing angry articles bemoaning Hallmark's corny romantic Christmas movies need to broaden their appeal beyond white women by adding car chases and explosions.
>gay man seethes about a sexy female protagonist with academic language
Why should anyone give a frick about what a dude that takes it up the ass thinks about breasts?
I read the article. It's exactly what you expect, with the same old references and the same old citations (even the "50% of gamers are female!" chestnut dragged out).
What with this gaslighting blaming "the right" for making this game political? Leftists had it out for this game ever since the first time it appeared.
>Leftists had it out for this game ever since the first time it appeared
It was just 5 literal whos on twitter and resetera complaining that you homosexuals took screenshots of and spammed here over and over again trying to create a huge controversy around the ga,e
Bros, I've found another epic right wing game. The game has sexy women, so it's clearly a great game. I've also convinced myself the game is a statement against the woke left. We fricking won.
>da women and troons want to remove all beautiful women from games >meanwhile in the Pokemon GO threads they are posting screenshots of women and trannies seething that they characters were made ugly with the update
Literally every single narrative this board tries to spin ends up being exposed as completely wrong.
California will pass a law to have anyone who bought this game executed. It doesn't matter if you live in Malaysia you will be killed by a predator drone if you buy this game. No one on this earth gets to upset a troony and live.
I think Ganker is beginning to blame troonys too much for this shit. There are loads of sad pathetic homosexuals out there that may unironically loath attractive women for being unable to be a woman but everyone knows these sad saps are usually auto-gynophile degenerates that still jack off and worship women.
This sort of seethe is still, as people have said for decades now, the result of ugly dysgenic women. If a woman had a "send all women who are better looking than me" to hell button they would all press it.
Their entire life existence is forming social bonds to protect themselves from undesirable males but then backstabbing each other once they let a desirable male in until only one is left standing and cuts ties with them while having that male basically own them.
>she didnt get the memo
complaining about straight men doesnt work, we're supposed to call the game woke troony bait now to stop the chuds from buying it
Does this really come as a surprise to zoomers?
Korea's vidya industry has an impressive track record of selling nothing but mediocre shit marketed aggressively with coombait.
To this day they haven't managed to make a single good video game, and if anything, I would be surprised if Stellar Blade was the first one.
>not understanding JP voice acting is the most pleasant to listen to
even asians understand it. Chinese sounds atrocious to hear barked out which is why Chinese games hire JP seiyuu to give their games dubs. Korean, well, it's less aggressive against the eardrums but lacks the prestige that JP has accumulated by dominating the industry. it's always funny to see funny korean things HAMHAMPANGPANG and everybody being named Sum Bum or Sum Kim or Sum Shit, man everybody in Korea is related I think.
The way I see it:
If you can call character "mommy" it's A-OK
If character could call you "daddy" it is sexual objectivisation of women and a sign of patriarchy oppression
>male gaze
this is the dumbest brain rot concept woke morons has ever come up with. men like attractive women and women like men to look at them. of all the stupid things to complain about...
So what's wrong about male gaze? I don't understand what it implies and why I should, as a man, reject it. Why stellar blade is the only game discussed is something I also don't understand, does it mean that I can male gaze eve, but can't male gaze 2b, tifa, Witcher 3 girls, lae'zel, most of female hades cast, etc? Because I certainly did male gaze them, but journos don't seem to care, so how come stellar blade is "MALE GAZE GAME" but those other games aren't? Why is it so inconsistent? >Attractive to who?
Didn't he just answer his own question in the title of his article?
>spend time listening to modern women converse >they’re all horrible evil sex-obsessed morons who objectify men like they’re slabs of meat on a butcher’s counter >NOOOO THE MALE GAZE
The older I get the more convinced I am that women were a mistake.
Nope. It has no bikini spite being coomerbait. Who the frick faps over ugly skintights? Korea bans bikini. Korea has no freedom of expression.
BA having no bikini in 2023 and having long sleeved burka shirt as swimsuits only is a proof. No one faps over ugly shirt. Arius will have burka swimsuit in 2024 too, no bikini.
Maplestory, DFO, Stellar blade has no bikini as well. No one faps over ugly skintight. P3 reload has bikini for 16-17 humans and therefore more based than stellar blade. Only Jap game can have bikini. Aside from BG3 and GTA6.
Nation without freedom of expression is "anti-woke" and "based"? What a joke.
개조센은 비키니 금지하고 표현의 자유 없는게 무슨 반폴리콜레? 웃기고 있네요. 검열 중국보다 서양보다 심한게? 메이플 던파 블루아카이브 그리고 이것도 비키니 금지인데요?
But at least BG3 has bikini armor(angelic scion) while Korea bans bikini and Korean games have no bikinis such as DFO, maple, BA, and stellar blade lacking bikini. No one faps over skintights.
How about P3 reload's bikinis? These are for JKs(high school girls, 16-17). And their Immature JK bodies are hot enough to make Junpei's bat hard. Stellar blade cannot have bikini for being a Korean game. No one faps over bodysuit. Why do no one complain about Yukari and Fuuka's bikinis in P3 reload spite they are high school girls?
Maybe it's because I played too many fighting games where they need to make female characters cool or sexy for people to play them. Like what kind of games did these people play? Even Nintendo games have sexy women. Imagine if zerosuit samus came out today
>Imagine if zerosuit samus came out today
We'll probably find out if Prime 4 ever releases, as you know Retro will make Samus as unattractive as they can get away with.
There didn't use to be a point before ESG to not make your female characters as hot as possible. Men like it and the handful of women who will play your game also prefer to play as cute women, just like men prefer to play as the cool guys rather than the losers.
>asiatic in a skinsuit

And this is a bad thing because...?

Trans women are men
The female gaze is just anything ugly and doesn't make women insecure
lot of women like to create beautiful characters, troons are the one complaining and feeling insecure everytime they see an attractive woman
I could swear most Nikke characters are designed by a woman
And you would be correct. The CEO's wife, in fact.
Contrary to a certain sect's beliefs, the majority of women like seeing attractive female designs and would like to feel attractive themselves.
>da troooons

Yeah it's all about control. Basically women have turned the government into a replacement for a man, a very cuck tier man who showers her with bullshit and asks nothing in return (except taxes from men).
But even then they realize its such a fleeting substitute(particularly when they realize its soldified with the violence of men). I've been told to basically tell other men "not to rape" before, as if rape is a massive misunderstanding for men, it's all so tiresome.

They always leave out that not only is said troony a notable cosplayer, but is also a reviewer, and thus like other outlets, would get a review copy.
Some of what the two cited "experts" say is reasonable, or reasoned out at least, some of it, but not this paragraph by random "internet culture writer", this is just blathering about absolutely nothing.
>If she did know, if she could move for herself, it would shatter the illusion of many of the gamers championing her because she’d have the agency to be able to reject them rather than simply be controlled by them.
If she did know, if she could move for herself, it would shatter the illusion of many of the gamers championing her because she’d have the agency to be able to reject them rather than simply be controlled by them.
what the frick does this even mean? Is she doing this because she's sexy? is there some sort of meta-narrative about how playable characters are puppets?
>the video game player character not talking to the viewer and walking off screen means....male gaze....and autonomy...and uh....male...gamers
I was confused as to what an "internet culture writer" did before. I remain so.
Yeah even in a weak article that leaps out as something an editor should have cut, it's actual nonsense navel gazing shit.
>This is why Wilde reserves judgment. She wants to see how Stellar Blade formulates Eve’s relationships with NPCs in the game, and thinks “it's not only about whether your protagonist is beautiful, able bodied, et cetera. It's also, is your villain scarred, disabled, overweight? Where are you looking for the other areas to avoid those stereotypes and look for other elements of inclusive play and representation?”
Tachy appears to return as a villain in the trailers so no, she's just as sexy as Eve.
Tachy actually fits the disabled quota because she lost an arm, too fkin kek
I prefer tachy as mc, she is more interesting that this stupid asiaticface with moronic ponytail and haircut
>sorry but that character has the wrong personality for being sexy
This is so dumb.
It means
>Personality is greater than sexuality (because I'm unattractive and this is my cope)
>Since she has no personality that means (bad) men must wrongfully desire a woman without a personality
>Meaning they are so vile that if she had a personality she would reject them.
>she has no personality because she doesn't flip her ponytail and act sassy
>>she has no personality because she isn't obese, ugly as sin, and is an butthole to everyone around her
Corrected. The "girl boss" archetype must die.
Yes women over analyze social behaviors to the point of insanity. That's the core root of "Girl freaks out at a guy for unclear reasons"
While Eve is hardly a bundle of charisma in the demo, and I don't expect her to suddenly be some legendary deep complex character, it is pretty clear from the trailers she's going to have an arc of going from detached and obedient to more humanistic and emotional during the game. She seems to be either an artificial human or at least made specifically to be a soldier, so why she would be "flipping her ponytail" and having "knowing facial expressions" (what, winking at the camera?) immediately after the gameplay starts I don't know. It seems like this "internet culture writer" wants her to be Bayonetta or something?
>this character has to be dressed according to a hypothetical sense of agency that they would have if they were real and had a different personality IRL than they do in the media where they exist, but only if this hypothetical personality has the same opinions as me
But why does no one think children in Bikinis in Persona 3 reload problematic spite Yukari and Fuuka are 16 and they are children, while complaining about Bikini banning nation's skintight on stellar blade which lacks bikini? Who the frick faps over the ugly skintights? P3 reload's bikinis for JKs(High school girls) look more problematic. Isn't Yuka-tan that attractive for them?
>16
>children
moron?
Women are children all their life.
Does JK(high school girl) not count as children? Junpei looks like old man, not highschool stundent tho.
predictable, as usual
>lack of idle animation kills real life women
Absolute sucking state
Putting that journalism degree to good use, I see.
>There’s also a peculiar type of Orientalism surrounding Stellar Blade. Some are holding up Stellar Blade as an antidote to woke Western games, and many people commented they’d be purchasing a Japanese version of Stellar Blade to secure access to the region-exclusive Japanese dub, despite it being a Korean game with a Korean dub.
>“Is it because that's difficult to get hold of, so you're a bigger gamer or fan if you can demonstrate that you've gone the extra length to get that version?” Denny asks. “Is it because there's particular respect for the Japanese voice cast? That might be part of these generous readings. Or is it because actually, Korean femininity doesn't have the connotations for a Western colonial imagination that Japanese femininity does? It's almost like in order to fulfill the fantasy of puppeteering this attractive woman and putting her in certain outfits and placing the camera just right, she needs to be Japanese.”
Huh. I remember this homosexual article in the 90s saying that the only reason people played Super Metroid was to have the sexual fantasy of making a woman move as the player desired.
This quote is too close to what that rag was saying. What are the chances?
Unicornically gamers and nerds were tjet most normal ones.
Weirdos latching to games and tried to make it sexual for some fricking reason
>Is it because that's difficult to get hold of, so you're a bigger gamer or fan if you can demonstrate that you've gone the extra length to get that version?
what the absolute frick is he talking about?
>Western colonial imagination
Fricking god, I hate these leftist fricktards, everything comes back to this race-baiting shit where they cry about the 19th century.
Extra funny because he doesn't even seem to cotton on to the actual racism of gamers equating Japanese with all Asian countries and considering them interchangeable.
>Korean femininity doesn't have the connotations for a Western colonial imagination that Japanese femininity does? It's almost like in order to fulfill the fantasy of puppeteering this attractive woman and putting her in certain outfits and placing the camera just right, she needs to be Japanese.”
Holy racism batman
>Eve
>Beautiful
>Strong
>Can kick asses
OH NO! THE HORROR!
The best part is that women love cute characters and dressing them up. Like, check out hatsune, bang dream, any idol shit and like 80% of fanarts are from women
Hell this lady has been creating cute girls her whole life
I also remember everytime my sister, cousins and some female friends started drawing all of them drew cute girls and mascosts. All girls in my school were always buying Sailor Moon stamps too
>all this shit about GAMER CRED and gender whatever
It's just basic weeb behavior. Asian thing, must have Japanese voices. There is a racist element to that, but "Denny" doesn't even seem to notice that, he's too busy trying to overthink his way into the Gordian gender knot
This is so out of touch it's hilarious. Shift Up's main game Nikke has a bunch of popular JP seiyuus and it's common for NA, Global, and even KR players to use the JP dub as a result because it's a fricking anime game. The fact she thinks "people want the japanese voice cast" is an insane interpretation and they must be on some weird orientalism shit shows just how unironically racist her thoughts are.
Japan has a highly developed and robust industry for VA, thanks to anime, and video games too, Korea does not, yet. So you tend to get a lot of quality and professional VA work in JP dubs. I don't know what the nonsense about femininity and colonial is.
It might also have to do with the fact, or at least that's how I feel, that the Korean language is not very nice to listen to, compared to Japanese or Chinese. I don't know if it also applies to irl, but in Korean dramas when especially guys speak,the intonation at the ends of sentences makes them sound constantly mad.
Okay okay, you're right you win.
Just make every woman in games a girl between the ages of 4-12 and no one will be attracted to them anymore. Problem solved.
Based, this is actually a genius solution. I support it.
Why are so many people scared of sexy looking women in media?
They aren't, feminists just want to control female sexuality in media and not let men profit from it. If you can draw a sexy woman and make money from it you're stealing from women.
Reminder that Korea bans bikini. Moon banned bikini from Korea but Yun seems like they are pro feminist too... See BA having no bikini since 2023, and Stellar blade will have no bikini costume. DFO has no bikini since agent update.
Its actually fine for media to be made to appeal specifically to men, even specifically to straight men.
Nobody is writing angry articles bemoaning Hallmark's corny romantic Christmas movies need to broaden their appeal beyond white women by adding car chases and explosions.
>liking sexy women is bad
>liking how women that don't side with feminism and the flag is bad
how women reply without sounding mad?
>studio makes a blatantly sexual gacha game

Wait what game is that?
Nikke. Best gacha I've ever played.

Incorrect. I've played many before it and all were boring as frick.

indeed
the thigh-high boots are so sex when put on a female
Nikke, is really, really funny though.

It is cause the gameplay its asiatic sekiro with crappy jank like slashing red barrels as mechanic instead of having a ranged weapon
>of having a ranged weapon
lol
Thats the ranged weapon when you have a flying drone? They already admited they were inspired by nier
You just claimed she didn't have a ranged weapon.

>crappy jank like slashing red barrels as mechanic instead of having a ranged weapon
Eve has a gun. Why are you lying?
Not in the demo until i dropeed bored by how jank is the combat and movement to bother jerk off
why is the male gaze supposed to be a bad thing anyway
Because men are evil. Now shut it moid.
It's just white women, and "women" seething.
yes, and?
Smut exists for women. This can exist for men.
Checkmate.
But smut for women is vile. It should be forbidden.
Just admit that Ganker is slowly liking kpop idols.
Of course.

Why should anyone give a frick about what a dude that takes it up the ass thinks about breasts?
Pretty Grugette is how Grug make more Grugs and Grug species survive. Without pretty Grugette we die. What happen in modern world?
I read the article. It's exactly what you expect, with the same old references and the same old citations (even the "50% of gamers are female!" chestnut dragged out).
What with this gaslighting blaming "the right" for making this game political? Leftists had it out for this game ever since the first time it appeared.
>Leftists had it out for this game ever since the first time it appeared
It was just 5 literal whos on twitter and resetera complaining that you homosexuals took screenshots of and spammed here over and over again trying to create a huge controversy around the ga,e
https://clips.twitch.tv/BashfulBeautifulFungusRalpherZ-Ja0O0iOmAT5thgQY
Bros, I've found another epic right wing game. The game has sexy women, so it's clearly a great game. I've also convinced myself the game is a statement against the woke left. We fricking won.
Trolling is about subtlety
>da women and troons want to remove all beautiful women from games
>meanwhile in the Pokemon GO threads they are posting screenshots of women and trannies seething that they characters were made ugly with the update
Literally every single narrative this board tries to spin ends up being exposed as completely wrong.
Eve, wife of Maciej Nowicki
>less than 1% of the people ITT will read the article
And that's a good thing!
California will pass a law to have anyone who bought this game executed. It doesn't matter if you live in Malaysia you will be killed by a predator drone if you buy this game. No one on this earth gets to upset a troony and live.
I think Ganker is beginning to blame troonys too much for this shit. There are loads of sad pathetic homosexuals out there that may unironically loath attractive women for being unable to be a woman but everyone knows these sad saps are usually auto-gynophile degenerates that still jack off and worship women.
This sort of seethe is still, as people have said for decades now, the result of ugly dysgenic women. If a woman had a "send all women who are better looking than me" to hell button they would all press it.
Their entire life existence is forming social bonds to protect themselves from undesirable males but then backstabbing each other once they let a desirable male in until only one is left standing and cuts ties with them while having that male basically own them.

Funny how you never spammed this pic during all those nintendo asses threads
I mean yes, it's made by the same people who made Nikke, for frick's sake. Based unapologetic coomer Koreans.
"They" really hate this game. Any reasons?
>... and then OP, the colossal homosexual, posted and ruined everything
>she didnt get the memo
complaining about straight men doesnt work, we're supposed to call the game woke troony bait now to stop the chuds from buying it
No, because there's a demo of the game and the gameplay is good.
The game is good on its own merit PLUS it has attractive female characters.
Yeah, if you like action games it's fun
Why did neonazis latch on to this game?.
Neonazis are quite the inclusive bunch then, allowing so many brown people into their ranks.
Sorry issy van der velde but I'm not reading your dogshit article
Does this really come as a surprise to zoomers?
Korea's vidya industry has an impressive track record of selling nothing but mediocre shit marketed aggressively with coombait.
To this day they haven't managed to make a single good video game, and if anything, I would be surprised if Stellar Blade was the first one.
Who are you talking to? We've played the demo, it's a good game so far.
>5 seconds input delay
>it's a good game so far
lol, just save yourself some time and money and go look up porn on the internet
So input delay is your only concern? Just wait until PC version, homosexual
thats not what male gaze means
>stellar flop
Don't care, still not buying your asiaticslop.
Poobar raging as usual
>not understanding JP voice acting is the most pleasant to listen to
even asians understand it. Chinese sounds atrocious to hear barked out which is why Chinese games hire JP seiyuu to give their games dubs. Korean, well, it's less aggressive against the eardrums but lacks the prestige that JP has accumulated by dominating the industry. it's always funny to see funny korean things HAMHAMPANGPANG and everybody being named Sum Bum or Sum Kim or Sum Shit, man everybody in Korea is related I think.

>written by Issy the Sissy
Games like Nier Automata have class and elegancy, Stellar Blade is just unfiltered coomer bait right on your face 24/7
The way I see it:
If you can call character "mommy" it's A-OK
If character could call you "daddy" it is sexual objectivisation of women and a sign of patriarchy oppression
>male gaze
this is the dumbest brain rot concept woke morons has ever come up with. men like attractive women and women like men to look at them. of all the stupid things to complain about...
So what's wrong about male gaze? I don't understand what it implies and why I should, as a man, reject it. Why stellar blade is the only game discussed is something I also don't understand, does it mean that I can male gaze eve, but can't male gaze 2b, tifa, Witcher 3 girls, lae'zel, most of female hades cast, etc? Because I certainly did male gaze them, but journos don't seem to care, so how come stellar blade is "MALE GAZE GAME" but those other games aren't? Why is it so inconsistent?
>Attractive to who?
Didn't he just answer his own question in the title of his article?
I'm not reading your troony articles. Hope you'll get unemployed soon!
What's with all the racism against Koreans? What the frick.
The desires of male heterosexuals are not evil, and I’m tired of people pretending they are.
>gooner

>Can we admit it's goonerbait?

Nope. It has no bikini spite being coomerbait. Who the frick faps over ugly skintights? Korea bans bikini. Korea has no freedom of expression.
BA having no bikini in 2023 and having long sleeved burka shirt as swimsuits only is a proof. No one faps over ugly shirt. Arius will have burka swimsuit in 2024 too, no bikini.
Maplestory, DFO, Stellar blade has no bikini as well. No one faps over ugly skintight. P3 reload has bikini for 16-17 humans and therefore more based than stellar blade. Only Jap game can have bikini. Aside from BG3 and GTA6.
Nation without freedom of expression is "anti-woke" and "based"? What a joke.
개조센은 비키니 금지하고 표현의 자유 없는게 무슨 반폴리콜레? 웃기고 있네요. 검열 중국보다 서양보다 심한게? 메이플 던파 블루아카이브 그리고 이것도 비키니 금지인데요?
So? Baldur's Gate 3 was goonerbait and it's being called the greatest game of all time.
But at least BG3 has bikini armor(angelic scion) while Korea bans bikini and Korean games have no bikinis such as DFO, maple, BA, and stellar blade lacking bikini. No one faps over skintights.
>lacking bikini
Bodysuit > bikini
Eve gets something better. And bikini doesn't mean as much when all the women are built like fridges.
How about P3 reload's bikinis? These are for JKs(high school girls, 16-17). And their Immature JK bodies are hot enough to make Junpei's bat hard. Stellar blade cannot have bikini for being a Korean game. No one faps over bodysuit. Why do no one complain about Yukari and Fuuka's bikinis in P3 reload spite they are high school girls?
>White males are literally the only race that needs a rulebook for their dicks
Jews* Japs* Muslims*
Educate yourself, moron.
Maybe it's because I played too many fighting games where they need to make female characters cool or sexy for people to play them. Like what kind of games did these people play? Even Nintendo games have sexy women. Imagine if zerosuit samus came out today
>Imagine if zerosuit samus came out today
We'll probably find out if Prime 4 ever releases, as you know Retro will make Samus as unattractive as they can get away with.
There didn't use to be a point before ESG to not make your female characters as hot as possible. Men like it and the handful of women who will play your game also prefer to play as cute women, just like men prefer to play as the cool guys rather than the losers.
