>I’ll go into detail about the reasons behind some of Dragon’s Crown design concepts.

>I believe that the basic fantasy motifs seen in Dungeons & Dragons and the work of J.R.R. Tolkien have a style that is very attractive, and I chose to use some orthodox ones in my basic designs. However, if I left those designs as is, they won’t stand out amongst the many fantasy designs already in the video game/comic/movie/etc. space. Because of that, I decided to exaggerate all of my character designs in a cartoonish fashion.

>I exaggerated the silhouettes of all the masculine features in the male characters, the feminine features in female characters, and the monster-like features in the monsters from many different angles until each had a unique feel to them. I apologize to those who were made uncomfortable by the art’s appearance, and did not see the same light-hearted fantasy in my designs.

    Because after accusing the dude's art of trying to pander to e-girlcons and getting absolutely destroyed for his ignorance, the artist basically called him out as acting like a massive homosexual which just triggered Jason's tribal passive of "I must now act like a victim of harassment."

                He didn't use the word "pedophile", he used the word "e-girlcon".
                Which is still a basic b***h term to get wrong, but at least it fits within the limits of credulity that he'd get it wrong? I'm guessing he once saw some video of an adult woman with big breasts in pigtails and childish clothing as a fetish thing, saw it was labeled as "e-girlcon" and just assumed til that moment that e-girlcon stands for any big tiddy woman you lust after.
                It's still stupid no matter what.

              The core of his argument was about LE MALE GAZE EXPLOITATION and was banking on that, as you can see in the reply. The e-girlcon bits there was just his "cute/sexy anime girls = e-girl" stupidity which he didn't think he'd get so obliterated when he got that wrong, but the most of his argument was about how Kamitani drew Sorc to have huge tiddies that always bounced around, were barely contained, and would draw the eye of theplayer therefore MALE GAZE EXPLOITATION HURRR

            One of feminism's goals in disruption is to make taboo the male urge to find younger females attractive. There definitely is a point where youth does objectively move into pedophilia territories, but after that, men tend to value youth in women, and that's largely because younger women produce healthier offspring and are generally more malleable and pure, with purity helping to ensure that the child is yours and you've successfully produced offspring. Feminism attacks this by condemning men being attracted to youthful looking women, and condones you being attracted to older hags that ruin their body after they've had fun.

            You can actually watch this phenomenon still happening today. Why do you think anime games constantly get attacked for being sexual, but western games like Last of Us and Baldur's Gate 3 are praised for being "safe horny"? It's because Japanese still draw their women like attractive women, and because BG3 ages up and makes masculine all of their females.

      if I recall from an interview he did with totalbusicit he said he did the original article decrying the art style and artist because it looked like low hanging fruit to him and he had to meet a deadline. Sounds a bit bullshit to me, and of course he didnt do his research to find out the artist in question owned the damn company which led to and the months long shit posting war between George, Jason, and everyone who picked a side. Im sure trying to save face and sunken cost was what kept Jason going after he got blown the frick out in the first week, it was way too much heat for someone in his position otherwise. Excellent times I look back on fondly, truly one of the galvanizing moments in favor of breasts in vidya.

        His reasoning should register as digging the hole deeper. He is saying he acknowledges his job and company are destructive to culture and is willing to do that for money. He went from foolish to enemy.

          to be frank Schreier has mellowed out in recent years and is not nearly as much of a c**t anymore.
          I can believe that is what his company was pushing. Kotaku is a shithole and almost everyone who left Kotaku always goes on about how shit it is (look no further than Tim Rogers, who pushed the boundaries of what Kotaku found acceptable during his time there)

      My ire at the lack of Vanillaware games getting PC ports is buffered by the magnanimous nature of that reply.

      Though as awesome as it was, my patience is wearing thin. Sega (and Marvelous among others) have done very well on PC even withformerly limited titles like Persona 4 Golden being stuck in Vita jail, but sold a fortune when it came to Steam with reasonable pricing. There's no reason that Muramasa Rebirth needs to be stuck in a similar limbo, or that Dragon's Crown (Pro) wouldn't do amazingly well on Steam with the potential for co-op beat em up play. We could use all the Vanillaware titles like 13 Sentinels too or back to Odin Sphere, but lets at least get a start now.

    I feel like Schreier must have just misunderstood what the word e-girlcon meant. Like surely he saw it used in relation to anime porn and, from context clues, failed to appreciate the specificity of it, concluding it merely referred to people who like hentai of any variety. Right? Surely he could never be so stupid as to believe that Sorceress appeals to pedos.
