The statuette was offered only in editions sold in Europe or Australia. It was not "pulled" from the U.S. because it was never offered here.

Nice chip on your shoulder, by the way.

Um... I doubt those drawings were done by little girls. And the costumes aren't original characters. I'm not disputing the intent of the article, but what does any of that have to do with designing super heroes?

you're god damn right

"Turns out women like to be hot for guys and vice versa. Shocking, I know."

With the fact that some male players like their characters to look cool and strong, it's a fucking shocking twist of events that women like to look pleasing to men, and themselves, alike.

This is the same kind of behavior that would bring women…

I'm curious as to whether any female gamers identify with any of the characters as the fulfillment of a female power fantasy. I'm so used to being inundated with male power fantasies, male sexual fantasies and female sexual fantasies, that I forget how a female power fantasy would look. Is it the Amazon, with muscles…

To you they sound creepy, but that's only because you grew up in a different culture. I'm just saying there's some stuff we could learn from them. Like…

Gaming News Sites Really Need To Stop Letting Captain Save-A-Ho White Knights Write Articles For Them.

I agree, but I also respect that Vanillaware hasn't always taken this path with their character designs. Throw rocks all you want, but I am going to enjoy this as a game and enjoy the sexualized eye-candy as well because I am an adult.

Trollolol! Yolo! U mad bro? Etc.

What baffles me is that the article was written by Jason, one of the best and most level headed writers on Kotaku. A few days ago we got a SPLENDID article on Metacritic... now this "thing"...

seriously, I'd get to fuck shit up, crawl through dungeons, explore them, get loot and grow to be badass and all the while watch some big beautiful tits bounce around the whole time doing it? someone that aint gay tell me wtf is wrong with that? from a 30 yr old married man with 4 daughters, 2 of em twins, and my…

but only 10% of the gaming population, why cater to a minority that wont play it anyway?
