Gamergate life 66 (english)
(Version española https://www.kukuruyo.com/comic/gamergate-life-66-castellano/)
This last months there has been a lot of cases of censorship in videogames, or games not being released in the west because of fear of SJW backlash. From street fighter, to Dead or alive xtreme 3, to bravely default, xenoblade, blade and souls, idea factory games, and the list goes on and on. A hashtag has been created to encourage developers to do the game they want and release it in the west, because the people who trully buy games will buy them, and the ones calling the boicotts would not buy the games anyways no matter the changes. #1milliongamersstrong

Exactly! There was a kid who posted on the SF Buttslap censorship “You’d be uncomfortable if one of the male characters ass was framed for his attack. This is the same thing!”. He kept his post closed so no one could comment on it. He’s lucky he did because guess what? No one would care. Bring it on. We’ve watched shirtless men grappling other shirtless men in the game for years. Most players of SF are fans of Wrestling. We’ve seen guys sticking their butts in other men’s faces. No one would get uncomfortable from seeing a male doing the same thing. SJW’s are over sensitive but even more hypocritical.
Yeah, there’s already male characters in fighting games who have their sexuality highlighted in the same way, and no one gives a shit. We have to look no further than SF. You have vega and his exagerated metrosexualism. And then there’s the “Hot ryu” thing.
Totally agreed. Especially on the coin flip of sexually objectifying male characters from shows like Free. That’s such a bizarre set of mental gymnastics that would cause people to get up in arms about scantily clad women in games and Japanese culture, but ignore that the same thing happens to men by women. There’s a reason why the Yaoi industry in the west is as huge as it is.
Honestly, I assume that exaggerated cheesecake means that the game designers thought that the average potential player would need to drop 20-40 IQ points to find the game enjoyable.
Usually I assume when I see “exaggerated cheesecake” that the game designers just like designing attractive, scantily-clad characters. I’ve found that “assuming your audience is stupid” is a business model that really only works for reality TV and Apple.
Less “assume your audience is stupid” and more “assume your audience _needs_ to be stupid”. There’s a measurable drop in effective IQ when men focus on a pretty girl with strong sexual signalling.
That said, I’m a bit bitter. The kind of intricacy I want is only approached by games like Dwarf Fort, and the AAA companies have admitted that they wouldn’t be able to recreate SNES/N64/Playstation-era games on modern consoles with modern graphics.
In other words, games have been dumbed down in favor of the almighty virtual T&A.
(Which is a problem entirely separate from the GG-kickers who praise dreck like Depression Quest.)
