I agree with
kaebie many times as I read the thread, I felt uncomfortable due to the causal anti - Asian sentiments, in other words passive racism disguised as "game critiques", from calling a whole country or even Asia as a whole "backwards" to making it seem like the west is what drives feminism there.
"b-but but some Asian devs take notes from the west and western devs lean to inclusivity!" yeah that's just an assumption, and even if some did that doesn't mean that every one of them did it cause the west dragged them to do it, maybe take time to read about the feminist movement in Asia, they did more to Asian women than the west ever did, its honestly so disheartening to see such wild disregard and gross generalization with zero support be made just causally in this thread.
so many fanservice games were made for a specific audience, the otakus
and as I said before the same thing goes for comics that are made for nerds, which is why misogyny and fanservicey designs are common there, yet I would never see gross generalization like " the west doesn't understand that this kind of design is wrong"
fucking hell the most misogynistic game I have played was GTA5, in which women were mocked and slut shamed constantly, and that games is one, if not THE most popular games in the west.
why can't this thread critique games without talking down to 3 billion people, it's not hard to talk about a dev or a studio and holding them accountable by themselves.
hell I'm going to do it, damn I hate XC2 designs, they're oversexualized and do not fit the character's personality at all, made me not want to buy the game, Nintendo should not allow these kind of designs in their games again.
