[Ecchi-Koopa]

Activist: "Your game caters for the male gaze!"
Stellar Blade: "Yes, that is correct." 🗿

Attractive female characters shouldn't be controversial.

[xenoemblem]

If Stellar Blade is catering to male gaze, then woke Western games caters to no one.

[MaverickhunterXZero]

Nier automata was said to be for perverts. Now they pretend they always like it.
Bayonetta only appealed to horny dudes. Now they claim she's a gay icon.
There is a lot of games they have done this with, Stellar Blade be no different once there is a sequel.

so according to these journalists, a woman isn't allowed to just be sexy. They have to be over-the-top, flamboyant, and audibly declaring how much they know that theyre sexy every waking minute in order for them to simply be allowed to exist. These journalists don't realize that they are boxing women agency and beauty into a box. Nothing screams "women agency" then needing to check off a long list of conditionals and arbitrary requirements from some no-name journalist who thinks they know how everybody should act before being allowed to simply exist without being criticized.

"The male gaze"
Of course, obviously no woman enjoys looking at attractive characters. Nope, not a single one I bet

What orientalism is defined as: The imitation of Eastern culture by people from the Western world.
What Stellar Blade is: A cultural product actually made by East Asians.

Game journalists just keep redefining words to mislead us.

Automata Dev: You're breathtaking!
Blade Dev: You're breathtaking!

[FreakazoidRobots]

When you assume "what the players are going to be, " it's called "having a target audience." People used to know what this meant.

Alyssa Mercante also tried to start a harassment campaign. It was just hilariously unsuccessful.

[shmagojirafan]

Why do these people just hate seeing others being happy?

[yozen]

"Oriental" Make sure to save that one the next time they want to pretend they're not racist.

[brotquel]

"Why do people wanna go for the japanese version? Is it just to have a difficult to obtain item?"
Localizers, Karen, it's to avoid western localizers.

[solidtoto]

"No one is bashing 2B, bayonetta ..." in fact there was a lot of bashing around them, by the feminists. :)

[reddart]

The "50% of gamers are women!" line include the women that ONLY play candy crush or other cellphone games. The statistic has been padded out for their own agenda.

[lwncl]

remember folks.... *"no asian hate"* according to the woke west
also woke west: we dont like eastern standards, the east should bend the Western standard....


let tat sink in

[chalklaterain]

They don't hate the game, they hate that the people they hate like it. It's the same motivation behind why they're so proactive in ruining other IPs, they just want their "enemies" to be miserable no matter the cost.

[jaketheimmortal]

Crazies: you think you can look sexy and just walk away?
Eve: yeah

[KooriGraywolf]

When talking about Stellar Blade: "How DARE they not scan the face and only care about the body"
When talking about Star Wars Outlaws: "Hey, faces are hard to scan ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"

[VoiceAnon]

I wonder if it's time to crack open their old lines.
*Ahem*..."It isn't for you. If you don't like it, don't buy it."
