Quote from: Motorskills;915040I'm unclear what you are defending here. (For that matter, I'm unclear what the commentator is defending here). You've got ridiculous misogynistic art / animations which have been toned down....unequally(?).

Are [you] upset that they have been toned down, or that they have been toned down badly?

A bit of both plus the fact that espn is giving these guys crap they would never give to any other form of sports.

Quote from: Alzrius;915149No, there was plenty of shit talked about Bayonetta, despite her design having been made by a woman.

It's just a new manifestation of the old "I have the ability to respect opinions that differ from my own, but these opinions are different; they cross a (conveniently undefined) line to the point where the only conscionable response is to attack them" bullshit.

Bingo talk to my sister about this kind of thing that pisses my sister and me off to no end.
The sjw bull shit is so far out of line at this point its pathetic.

It's just a way for some Atheists or non-religious to have a Black and White line, a way to always have an Evil to destroy and defeat.
Who ever said you needed a deity or even a religion to have Religious Fundamentalism?

My wife told me the other day about some game being banned in Germany when she has no idea what for. "MeiQ" or something. Anyone here know what this is about? Also Criminal Girls 2.

My wife happens to love Bayonetta. It's one of her favourite games. She considers it incredibly fun. What do SJW have to say about people like her? Brainwashed?
I'm not that avid a button masher myself, but from looking at it I thought the game looked incredibly stylish and unique, kind of like a baroque superhero comic.

Did she mean Valkyrie Drive: Bhikkuni? Because that's the only other recent game that I'm aware of that Germany banned. (Which I suppose wasn't that surprising, considering that they've been ban-happy on the fan-service games lately, and this was a game whose tagline was "Weaponized lesbians! Powered by orgasms! What a time to be alive!")

EDIT: Whoops, I should read the article I linked to more closely. It looks like there is a game called MeiQ: The Labyrinth of Death that was banned for being too sexy, but in Australia, not Germany (at least that I can find with some quick Googling).

Damned if I know. "Internalized misogyny" was their go-to for women who didn't agree with them for a while, but I suspect that now they'd say some bullshit about her privilege preventing her from realizing the harm that the male gaze was doing to women...or some other drivel.

By the way, your wife knows that there's a Bayonetta 2, right? (Albeit only for the Wii U.)

The game is called MeiQ, but we haven't been able to find out why they're banning it. They're also putting a ban on Criminal Girls 2, probably because it's somewhat naughty. I'm just happy for my wife that we don't live in Germany, haha.

Her privilege as a female gamer? I don't get it.

Quote from: 3rik;915800Her privilege as a female gamer? I don't get it.

My guess would be that anyone who isn't concerned about whatever they're up in arms over is "privileged," since obviously only someone who hasn't suffered from the deleterious effects of the social injustice that such games promote would fail to disapprove of them.

...or something.

Quote from: AaronBrown99;915045I've never understood how a suggestive cartoon image of a gorgeous woman implies hatred of women. Or is misogynist another co-opted word, meaning 'anything ugly women don't like?'

SJWs and all their nonsense are the result of fuglies, basement freaks and the human trash of the outrage brigade all getting internet access. These fucktards aren't a millennial invention. They've been around, but previously they had no platform to promote their bullshit.  

But hey, freedom of speech, yadda yadda.

Censoring and banning stuff that lots of people want will totally work, especially when people use nebulous terms like "priviledge" and "internalized misogyny" to decry entertainment media. Some people are so fucking naïve.

Cartoonish, exagerated sexy women are not hateful to women. A certain manga artist that I used to love certainly was. His "erotic" manga was mostly images of women being tortured, cut into pieces and crying. THAT'S misogynistic. Fuck that guy.

(He did the series "Blade of the Immortal" back in the 90s I don't recommend looking up his "adult" books. VOMIT)

You may well be correct.

Yes, she was even considering getting a Wii U just for Bayonetta 2, haha.

Thanks for these, but I have to say...linking to Polygon? Really? They're an exceptionally biased site that pushes an SJW agenda; if you have to link to them, please us an archive.is of their pages so they don't actually get the clicks.

Random thought:  Anyone remember Dead Or Alive Beach Volleyball?

I mean, here is a game so throughly tailored to the young adolescent male mind (and it was GLORIOUS!!!), that it had breast jiggle physics specifically designed for it (and then fucked up in DOA:BV2, when they decided more jiggle was better and now each boob was its own semi-sentient eldrirtch horror bent on world domination... and I'll remind you each character has TWO!).


Its enduring popularity, however, was with women. Mothers and daughters would play it together.

Why?

Because they loved the social aspects of the gifting mechanics and the collecting of cute (skimpy) outfits.  

Guys? They liked it for a while, then went and watched porn.

Huh. I never heard of that before.
