People don’t react well to being morally judged for their hobbies. I think what really sets off these antagonistic feuds so often is the way the ‘feminist’ side approaches it. It’s never really a discussion, someone has come in to the hobby with a /cause/ and has declared it wrong. I rarely see, ‘Is x and x wrong? Is…

the best anti-pirate protection is when the games are good, highly polished, easily accessible and inexpensive.

And we’ve got Senran Kagura Peach Beach Splash announced for March 2017. What a time to be alive.

Why choose one when you can buy both!? I did. And I don’t care what anyone says about Criminal Girls, I like turn based dungeon crawling. Now, if only someone would bring over Omega Labyrinth and Genkai Tokki Seven Pirates, I’ll be happy.

The obvious choice is Valkyrie Drive as the only censorship was the removal of the girl’s ages, unlike the highly censored and altered Criminal Girls 2 which has altered art-work and removal of audio during the punishment sequences.

I think the point is that Kotaku in particular would be outraged if the same game, but with Clinton, were made. The world in general probably wouldn’t be that outraged, but boy oh boy this site would be on that so fast.

It would be tut-tut’ing “thinkpieces” for as far as the eye could see, with disapproving hashtag retweets and Facebook angry emoticons accompanying them. The game doesn’t bother me so much as the hypocrisy infusing both this article and the left’s reaction to the game, because if it was about Hillary or Obama, they’d…

Could you imagine the shit fit that would be had if this game was instead about Hillary potentially being assassinated?

Bet you don’t say that about certain Muslim countries...

“What I don’t understand is why, despite cultural differences, a lot of American anime fans see Keijo!!!!!!!! and laugh it off, unmoved that, in this show, women are valued at the sum total of their body parts.”

But we DO have variety.
This is hardly the ONLY anime airing this season.
There are TONS of different anime doing thigns that are not even sexualized, so this can’t really be a complaint.

Who made you get to to decide what is right and wrong in another culture? What you think doesn’t make you right nor do your morals or view on life.

So, are you as concerned about the proliferation of violence in games in our society, then? Because if our fiction constantly tends to portray characters as brutally murdering each other, shouldn’t that be take just as if not more seriously? Are we going to crack down on everything from Battlefield to GTA?

yeah alot of “Americans” don’t understand how the first amendment works. you have the right to be offended, but you don’t have the right to not be offended.

But...but OUTRAAAAAAGE! You have a VOICE, man! And, as an American, it is both your purview and DIVINE fucking RIGHT to scream it from the heavens!

First of all, your “bad customer” argument is irrelevant because this guy (most likely) isn’t a customer of EA, and even if he is, that doesn’t really have any bearing on the situation, so none of your customer-ethics philosophizing matters in this context.

I guess, but it’s not like he started out with that. And I can definitely understand why he’d be upset at them after they ignored the issue and failed to address the hordes of pyschopaths hurling insults and racist putdowns at the guy on EA’s behalf. Just my take on it, though. As a “gamer”, I’m often just very put…

Seems more like consensual pussy grabbing than “terrified to say anything because he’s a celebrity” pussy grabbing.

Uh, sorry to burst your bubble, but EA are assholes. Is this actually in dispute?

What decade do you live in? Tweeting is how people reach out to brands now. An email is far more likely to be ignored and most people don’t have a personal lawyer or the funds to find one.
