Evo Japan stream temporarily cut after overly horny Dead or Alive segment; Evo head apologizes

Who knew that these events would finally lead to Smash Bros. being accepted as a fighting game.
They really did. They cut the stream pretty much at the end. The tweet just causes this to blow up more now
Not that it isn't a bit understandable. The girls ended up having a bit too much fun and Shimbori on the photo mode camera controls were too much.
Just some photo mode zoom ins and jiggle physics in different costumes wouldn't have led to this I think
User Banned (3 Days): Inflammatory False Equivalence
Oh I had understood the meme, no need to explain. And I'm pretty sure that's ironic. And I was saying I agreed with that. I don't get why gore is normal, and sexy/sex is taboo. These girls seems to know and enjoy what they are doing, so what's the problem here ?
Plus I wonder under the impression that EVO does dial back on MK games when shown there hence why the players don't do the fatalities during tournament play.
Good thing they didn't need to demonstrate that with real people then. /s
Honestly, this goes to show why they're not comparable at all. The whole "if you're fine with violence, then you're hypocrite for criticizing sexualization" is an argument made in bad faith. This shows how sexualization bleeds into reality (where actual gravure idols are hired to appease fans), whereas violence doesn't. One affects reality, the other doesn't. They don't hire anyone to rip another guy's face off in real life.
Sexual inequality and harassment is a real issue a lot of people deal with unlike decapitations
I hope?
I mean... "soft-engine" was pretty big marketing thing for them before.
*Reads thread title*
WUT?
*Sees videos*
I'm just kind of puzzled why there were models there in the first place (it sounds like they were involved in the first clip too). I mean this is their job - what they are expected to do and paid to do. Evo Staff just never talked to Koei-Tecmo staff? Somebody dropped the ball here.
Yeah I'm inclined to agree with this. Having someone there in person telling the models/advertisers to cut it out and not do it again behind the scenes and then pretending this never happened seemed like a better course of action. Was this a pre-emptive apology or did someone(s) ask for a response?

The US has historically had way more of an issue with sexual content than violence, especially compared to other countries.
Yeah, I just wanted to clarify. I'm no huge SF fan, but she seems decent at the game.
That's more because of time constraints. Tournaments are run on a tight schedule and often run the risk of going late. As such, things that aren't necessary tend to be skipped over. Hence why most tournament goers don't use fatalities. And also, when you play on the level of that, you tend to already have seen those same fatalities 100s of not 1000s of times so the novelty kind of wears off on you.
So... what did they expect with that idol(?) interview in a country where the oversexualization of women in media is happening all the time?
Especially in a game like Dead or Alive?
That freecam usage on the other hand... that, you can't predict to happen. Seriouslay, the fuck?

Of course I do. I just don't see why the former is worse than the later.
While the male characters don't even have navels or proper anatomy in general...
The problem is most likely that if the only role you can think of for women is them showing their bodies maybe you should think of a better role?
Yeah, I fully expect someone to wax nostalgic about booth babes.
So we are past the "TN sided with the SJWs!!" and now we are back at the "but violence and gore!!".
Things never change.
But yeah good luck to TN, their PR has been constant lies to both sides. Just hope Shimboshi dont go crying around in the next western interview when he's asked again about the constant sexualization of their female characters.

You'd think that some would learn that the age old issue of gratitious violence and sexual content is not a hill worth dying on.
It's like Bruce Campbell said years and years ago, you can slice off a titty, just don't you dare kiss it.
