He doesn't need your 'pro' tip. There's already such a character in the game. I'll give you a nice pro-tip though, trust me, I'm an actual pro when it comes to common sense.

But it's you and others that assume that three hairy men must equal "bear loving gaybag".

I'ma buy the shit out of this awesome looking game when it comes out. I plan to buy most of my Vita titles via the PSN, but in this case I might buy digital and physical because I want VanillaWare to keep making games that look great.

And this is why we can't have nice things..

I, on the other hand, have no problem with this imagery at all. It's cartoon art, something I've been steeped in for most of my life. I don't find it offensive or embarrassing. Neither does my wife. Art only causes problems if you let it. Does it foster misogyny? You know what fosters misogyny? Misogynistic assholes.…

"He's also straight out of a straight male power fantasy"

Here's an interesting post from the HokutoAndy from the previous trailer giving some insight on the designs of the Dwarf and Sorceress.

"Because I wouldn't want to be seen playing it in public."

Wow. Sounds like you have some serious insecurities. Seriously, if you want to play the game, play the game. Don't place so much value on other peoples opinion.

What you're describing isn't a power fantasy for women as Attractiveness and sex appeal are not directly correlated to power. One CAN receive power from it, but if your goal is to literally be as attractive as feasibly possible to the opposite/same sex then you're not empowering yourself, you're basically throwing…

Maybe he didn't imply that you're gay and just wanted to show that he likes to do characters with exaggerated proportions, no matter if males or females, you know?

"...but I have no qualms about saying I think it can hurt this game and gaming as a whole"

Thanks for your words Ryan, I appreciate it. It reminds me that Kotaku isn't... completely lost. But it feels like a sinking ship.

If you're posting on this, well maybe you were interested in Dragon's Crown. I've actually been doing a writeup on their art direction and they make a lot of really great references to…
