So let me tell you what happened.
> I stated that your fiancee's opinion about Lara Croft is not universal for every women out there. That not every women feels that Lara Croft is an inspiration.
>You then claimed that I said your fiancee's opinion about Lara Croft is wrong, even though that is nowhere close to what I…

You don't see the difference because you refuse to see the difference. You just want to hate the living hell out of this design for no other reason other then you hate the design. And if that takes denying the difference between a Swordsman like Link and a Battle Mage like Zelda then so be it. I'll spare you of having…

Now your being delusional.
The man had a Livestream of him working on it. I didn't see a photoshop anything.

You have some serious kinks you need to work out. With regards to him and Anita Sarkeesian. I'm not saying her opinion is gold, but your hate and derision for something that you can completely ignore is…

You are the one being an asshole. You don't read my comment thoroughly then you go out of your way to just be a slanderous jerk all around.
However like that other user stated earlier, having any sort of discussion with you is the most surreal thing I have ever experienced on Kotaku.

"I''m a man and I've been threaten with rape and castration by anonymous trolls on the internet who pose no clear and active threat."

That sucks. However I never said she his beyond criticism. What I am saying though is that those comments towards anyone is never appropriate. No matter what the opposition is saying. It…

You didn't read my comment. I said that some women find Tomb Raider an inspiration in women in videogames, while others only see her as a sexy adventurous eye candy. Me being one of them. I never said your fiancee was wrong in her thinking. I did say you were wrong however for assuming that her opinion applies to…

When a women gets bashed to the extreme extent with rape comments and "hope you get {insert violent death here}" ; for mainstream people who know nothing about the issue at hand, especially when it's still widely viewed that only men played videogames by those same people, they will see it as a women trying to have…

I guess I already answered this in you other post regarding this matter.
I honestly hope you read the answers he gave in regards to why he chose this design for Zelda.

How do you not care when you literally asked what makes her different from Link? I just told you the answer to that and you violently disregarded everything I said.
Once again, the battle mage isn't "rehashed Link shit" because Link was never a battle mage. Ever. He used magic a little bit, but for the most part he is …

I don't know about her speed in transformation times, but it's not like she fought, ran or anything. She literally stood there and got captured with zero effort. For someone who has been evading Ganon she should've had some clue as to the possibility of him being here and stay in her Sheik form for this occasion. The…

There is only so much one person can do when they are wearing a hoodie. If you want feminine features, literally the one thing he could do was just have her hair out of her braid.
Regardless I believe he wanted to keep the basic traits of Link's design in Zelda. There is nothing wrong with having her look sexually…

Well, when you reach the "Hyrule" symbol in the lava world( I forgot what it's called.) you were about to go up to Zelda who was right there until Sheik stopped you, criticized you for your inadequacy in saving her, and told Zelda that you can reunite with Link later, but she has her own quest to do. At that point…

What I find highly hypocritical is that people like Jimquisition..who in all fairness do just as much as nothing as Anita does when complaining about the game industry get a lot less hate for their discussion/rants then Anita who does about the same thing as they do with 50x more spite.
In all the comments I have seen…

You missed the point where Anita stated that the moment Sheik transformed back into Zelda, in all but 10 seconds she gets captured with no effort.

They never implied that Prince Link was weak. They simply said that he is very sheltered from the outside world. That in and of itself is a commonly used trope for royalty characters. The self centered snob, or the sheltered prince/princess.
The Zelda depicted here at the moment has no intention of rescuing Link…

You are making a lot of generalizations about people based on your own opinion. Not all women are out there to look sexy, and not all men are out there to look macho.
For some people Lara Croft is inspiring, however for me, she is simply big tits eyecandy. What she can do is irreleveant because her sex appeal came…

"What the fuck is a battle mage" https://www.google.com/search?q=battl…

What he meant was that he specifically designed Zelda to be gender neutral at first appearance. That's what he meant by "Androgynous" and yes, such an art style can exist if the artist chooses to make male and female characters have similar traits of the opposite sex. Not that difficult.
The man clearly has the ability…

Link himself already had an anime feminine male look to him anyway. She is simply wearing a hood over her head. Pretty sure a lot of women who wear hoodies "look" like men?... Not to sure why this is a big issue.
However please let's not create another Anita bash thread. Anita had nothing to do with the creation of…

But that's as far as they got with the whole lore thing.
I honestly remember a couple years back where some avid fan of the series sent a letter to Nintendo to explain the lore in true order.
They acutally replied back and stated that they don't care that much about the lore to sort it out.
People threw a shit fit over…
