They're really fun, and it's harmless fan service.

Complaining about fanservice and sexism is not going to solve anything. Trust me. I've tried it a lot. You know how all the "negative publicity" GTA 3 got helped drive sales. Senran Kagura is no different - that is, unless the game gets bad reviews.

I am sure they were really concerned over the realism. You should work in marketing mate, you will do great :)

No kidding!

Compared to the loads of anime I've seen, this ain't nothin, toots.

I played a good deal of it and yes, it's just girls kicking ass.

Totally agreed.

OTL, this is really petty of me but i was a little upset how my university offers scholarship for post graduate women studies but there isnt any equivalent for guys.

I did, yes. When "feminism" was about having to fight tooth-and-nail just for the chance to prove yourself as an equal. Now that was an admirable cause.

Did you ever? You can never please these kinds of folks =3=

I think these games look bad because they just look like bad games, but to say someone needs luck in life for liking them?

Come the fuck on now.

So when Bioware shoehorns in sex it's "progressive, mature storytelling" but when anyone from Japan does it's a male power fantasy?

i was going to write this when this article was released and had no commenting traffic, but the effort wasnt worth it considering patricia seems to solely post articles of this nature for click revenue. I'm just avoiding her work altogether from now on.

Actually, The David represents the culmination of hundreds of years of art dedicated to the "contrapose" position of a standing human. It is one of the oldest (often read: first) examples of what many consider the "perfect" implementation of a human in the contrapose position with appropriate proportions and scale.

David is a piece of art, the fire emblem picture is artwork.

There a difference between David, the classical work of art, and Tharja bending over in a suggestive pose with the intention of being fan service and sexualization.

Oh, I agree that porn is art. And that both images are art, sure. I just don't think that David's penis is sexualized in any way, so it's ok for kids to see it. Little boys have penises so they know what they look like, and a completely non-threatening stone penis is also fine for girls, they need to know what they…

True, but I'm sure that you can see how one is seen as a sexual image (which explains why Nintendo doesn't want it in one of their games), and the statue isn't. If the David was bending over or in an otherwise sexual pose, that'd be different, but it isn't.

The older games had a statue of a mermaid (pretty sure it's a real life artwork) that does show her breasts.

Personally, I hate when people use the word "entitled" to describe gamers. Sometimes gamers can have a false sense of entitlement, but often times the company is promising something and failing to deliver. When a company tells you they are delivering something and you spend $60 on it, you are entitled to receive the…
