Those people are truly beyond help. Is the "gaming journalist" title these days just like a public toilet that anyone wants, they can use it?

From the wizard game is killing trans people, to the booty game is literally killing women.

Imagine literally shaking and crying because some character has more boobs than your wife.

You misspelled “best country in the world”. Sinon:

There will be a day when people actually talk about Stellar Blade, as a game, and not yet another twitter issue over it.

But today is not that day.

Some people need to put down the keyboard/phone and stop posting, go touch grass for a while... well and seek mental help.

So this is a man saying this? It has to be some sort of misguided pandering he is trying to do?

It's a followup of the previous thread I guess. But you are not wrong, all I want most is to enjoy the game.

 

[Ozriel]

The guy is bloody insane, if that translation is correct.

Why would people go from playing the game to beating up women who don't have the protagonist's figure? Does he think that happens when people watch movies with attractive female leads? Do people go from Beyonce concerts to beating and abusing their girlfriends?

 

[Mister Wolf]

Stop catering to the mentally ill.

Oh I'm not singling you out, this french thing has been all over twitter as well.

Feels like the game itself is being swallowed up by the culture-clashes around it and not on its merit as a game.

 

[mayham2199]

This person needs help.

 

[clarky]

What a complete twat.

 

[GHG]

No, being unhealthy and out of shape while attempting to positively reinforce those standards is what's killing women, literally.

I had multiple friends growing up who killed themselves because they couldn't live up to Goku. He was just so ripped.

"Fictitious body" it's real tho and mapped off her




It's full horseshoe theory, these people are the ones being exclusionary pretending such bodies don't exist and western morbid obesity is normal

They do this because they will never be beautiful as Eve actress

 

[gaming_again]

I looked at some YouTube videos on the other side of the prevailing NeoGAF opinion on this topic and the majority of comments are from people who genuinely believe that a) this game will lead to suicide and b) that people on forums like this 'will happily see us killed'. These people are simmering in a stew of complete self-reinforcing disillusion. When they believe the stakes are so high it's no wonder they use such extreme language.

 

[T4keD0wN]

IGN is projecting their own ideas onto other people hard.

The protagonist looks like someone who is clean and puts an average level of effort at the gym, far from unreasonable. Theres a lot of much more impressive people at just about every average gym even during their off-season. Id love to see his meltdown if he went to a fitness competition.

thx Mr Moose

[Fredrik]

Ah, the old argument that people might do in real life like they do in the game.

Why are we allowed to shoot and behead people in games again?



”- Banned for whataboutism !!!1!”

 

[Luminoth-4545]

These woke "journalists" are beyond parody at this point.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

IGN just digging and digging. They're all cunts and that place will come crashing down if they continue. All because of some tits and ass... God fucking forbid they ever come across actual porn.

Anytime Sweet Meteor of Death, anytime.

 

[DragoonKain]

A telltale sign of being unhinged is when someone inserts the word "literally" in front of the most extreme hyperbolic fictional narrative one can conjure up.

 

[rm082e]

"go tell that to the women who are hit, killed, denigrated, or who commit suicide because they cannot live up to the fictional standards expected by men."

...Is he talking about Islam...?

 

[Celcius]

Surely he gets fired after this?

 

[DaciaJC]

Obviously we understand that this does not shock people who think that women are objects who must obey and be beaten

Hmm, I wonder what group of "French" people subscribe to this belief? I'm curious if this particular group of people also adhere to other problematic beliefs as well. Maybe they're the real issue and not some stupid video games. Hmm.

 

[AV]

I don't even care about any part of this story, it's just a great excuse to drop a big old

Wow! This gets funnier each time. Keep it up!

More boobs?!

Hate the French! But like their women and food.

It's a shame that women also like the character design. Guys who are afraid of "hyper sexualization" as if it were "dirty". Long live the neo-puritans!

Yes no problem, go tell that to the women who get beaten up, killed, denigrated, or who commit suicide because they can't live up to the fictional standards men expect. The problem isn't the
The problem isn't the sexy design itself (except that it sucks compared to others, but that's okay), but the percentage of males who will only want this fictional body type in reality. Of course, it's understandable
people who think women are objects to be obeyed and beaten. For us, this design makes us sigh and roll our eyes, and we don't care who needs it,
man or woman, but that's all. The admittedly clashing remark in the text (which targets the entire creative process, not necessarily a specific designer or the game director - this is obvious to anyone with a
French), only has this impact because a good proportion of gamers have become too fragile as a result of being force-fed patriarchy.

I extracted the text of the image and yup, seems about right.

 

[Buggy Loop]

There's some overdose of irony that this meltdown comes from a male guy from France, the capital of the world on "macho culture". Females don't need to look at a real body scan of a model to feel like shit, the men already do the job of that over there.

 

[cormack12]

To be honest he does have a point. After I finished playing Persona, I couldn't go anywhere alone and when we saw other people we got in a circle around them and tried to find their elemental weakness. Humans are weak to fire btw, you don't need to serve time to learn that.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

"go tell that to the women who are hit, killed, denigrated, or who commit suicide because they cannot live up to the fictional standards expected by men."

“He must be six feet tall, earn at least 100k, a house, car and a dick as powerful as Dirty Harry’s gun. Oh and men ain’t shit. “

By the way, suicide rates are higher in males than they are females.

S'il pouvait juste fermer sa putain de gueule, ça serait bien, allez bisous ducon.

So tired of politics in my games
