I mean to be fair most game journalists are idiots she's just keeping the average steady...

Fun fact TopHat, I was on that same BBC broadcast that Stacy got in trouble for. We were in a group discussion with the host of the show (BBC Radio 4) about Hogwarts Legacy. Stacy went on to say a lot of things that were very uninformed and off base. It got to the point the host had to get control of the convo because of how Stacy was just saying stuff, almost didn’t let me talk on the broadcast. What’s goofy is how the audience knew what I was saying and the host was saying, only Stacy was the one with an issue.

It's funny that simply being attractive is considered so problematic now when it's not even about sex, necessarily. Attractive people, male or female, are just more fun to look at in general. When I make an in-game character look like me in real life, I always make him skinny, maybe even a bit muscly if that's an option.
Even still, these "journalists" are the ones objectifying these female characters in the first place by having such strong opinions on their looks but not their actual personality (also by not caring at all about how attractive a male character is)

You guys remember when Rowling liked a tweet claiming the Taliban was better than trans women

[Tridnt]

Once JK. Rowling got lawyers involved, the trans journalist backed down.

curious you didn't mention what she actually said

[BreadHart]

This kind of people try to "save the world" but they end up making everyone from their comunity look bad by association. Sad really. I support trans people, and this "holier than thou" type of idiots makes sick, because they only unite everyone on spite against them.

[Breadman]

Of course. She just has to make her opinion known

[Hopalongtom]

National outrage? Nahh Rowling just threatened to sue!

[acepr]

Anyone who dislikes sexy in games are a nuisance.

Let Sexy Thrive. 😥

Trans thing: What's the matter with you people! Afraid to stare ugliness in the face? Look at it!

[cameronb]

I'm glad these companies are finally firing these "journalists" that get offended over the most trivial things.

[RobertBatchelor]

I love how Top Hat creates scripts for his Shorts so that they run as a loop.

2:56 I definetly didn't expect the wind to take the smoke with it
Killzone isn't just ahead of it's time, this game is 10 paralel universes ahead of most AAA games nowadays

[Cybermat]

How is it relevant that she’s transgender?

[Jayn-Sync]

There's no such thing as "snarT e/poeP" only
"y//atnem //ewnu /anoisu/ed"
individuals that can't accept truth and reality and what they truly are.

I swear I thought this was talking about Jim Sterling at first.

[nscastaneda]
