bishounen games are god’s gift to earth

Really Polygon? I unsubcribed years ago because you are ruining your reputation with your “I don’t understand games but I might as well be offended” and now you managed to put a lacking in professionalism article in kotaku.

I’m so glad this hit piece nothing else, talked about the game graphics, quality, about the…

What, you didn’t buy the Tekken Fundoshi DLC? They are even better wet!

You leave our waifus alone.

Welcome to the new Puritanism, ladies and gents (and everyone else). Big tiddie anime is no longer welcome here because reasons and exclusion!

Yet the objectified women of sexified Shadow of the Colossus and numerous other cosplayers, both male and female, is fine. I mean, I got a boner watching the video of 1/4 - 2/9 naked human colossi, which has absolutely no bearing on the IP, and yet not a single boner playing Soil Calibur for ~20 years, and by soil I…

Here we go again.

This deja vu for me for the umpteenth time.

Another kid picking up the SJW/Anita Sarkeesian torch. Yay.
Cecilia.. I know you’re young, impressionable and wanting to gain exposure by starting up some good ol’ angry #gamergate flame wars on Kotaku.

Please, just stop kicking the dead horse.

The Soul Calibur…

“SoulCalibur 6 is looking like a strong entry in the series. The E3 demo plays great, and the graphics look like its predecessors’ wet dreams.

Telling Soul Calibur to stop being intentionally sexy is kind of like telling sports games to quit rehashing the same game each year.

AKA, telling it not to be itself, not to be what made it so successful as a franchise, is pretty dumb.

I get it. Objectifying women is bad. That’s a stone-age practice from my…

boom headshot.

Objectifying virtual characters that don’t exist, or just general, natural sexual attraction or interest being used in the creation and marketing of a game?

They do. In fighting game, that comes in the form of ridiculous and almost unattainable physique, shown off in their scantly clad attire.

I don’t disagree with anything you’ve written here, but at the same time, I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with making a video game that is designed - in part - to titilate men. And there’s absolutely no reason such a game should not have good gameplay just because it’s designed to be sexy. But I don’t…

They do objectify men in games, you just don’t count it as objectification because you have different standards. A woman dressed in very little like Ivy is objectification, but a man dressed in very little isn’t? Why aren’t they both considered objectification?

The fact of the matter is, perception is skewed so people…

I find it funny that modern culture has the human centipede effect in full now.

Well, they’re not the only ones to use scantily clad women to attract interest.

Why don’t they ever objectify men in games? I want Kilik in a speedo. Or Siegfried. C’mon. Fan service goes both ways. And don’t point me towards Voldo.

I’m glad to see the coverage concerning TB’s death is balanced, considering the GamerGate repartee (and yes, I was pro-GG). While I may not always agree with Kotaku’s standpoint I acknowledge the respect surrounding TB and Genna’s pain at this time.

Came here to see what people were saying and I’m disgusted by the self righteous pricks that litter this comment thread. Hate TB all you want but calling him a mysoginyst and nazi enabler is a bit far. Just because he didn’t like Brianna Wu (Surprise, no one should), doesn’t mean you need to come here and be like, but…
