Dude really think woman are hit and killed because men don't find them pretty enough? Does he really thinks not being pretty is all it takes for a woman to end her own life?

And he still end his thoughts saying "gamers became too fragile"??

Consider he is the one deciding which news get published and which are not.
He doesn't need help. We do.

No sane woman would have a complex because of an attractive FICTIONAL hero you bitter little mongrel.

Beauty should not be marginalized just because it causes jealousy, hatred or even suicidal thoughts in some narrow group of people who cannot accept themselves as they are.

If someone has a serious problem with their mind, they should seek medical help. This is something that should be promoted in exchange for cutting off the rest of society from certain standards and activities, limiting freedom of expression, views or speech. It's not like everyone else has to take on other people's headaches all the fucking time.

Anyone who thinks that pleasing mentally ill activists should involve creating an artificial world for them rather than helping them come to terms with reality is a problem in itself.

So, mr. editor, if you are not a sociologist, psychologist or psychiatrist, and you clearly do not have reliable statistics/access to social studies etc. on which you can formulate such a thesis (and you didn't even bother to do any kind of research), then

We still doing this? It's the "violent video games cause violence" argument again! This one doesn't even make sense. Show me examples of people beating women because they don't look as good as women in fiction. I have literally never heard that before and yet here they are saying it. I need a source French man, otherwise

Oh yeah I remember this! Violent games make you commit mass murder, games with lesbian/gay characters turn you into one, racing games make you speed. And now games with attractive female protagonists will make female gamers commit suicide!?!? Question to the IGN fellow: why are you in this industry? Fuck off

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.
As a French I can tell you that I know nobody in real life that think like him... Just some "woke" shitty people like there are everywhere in the world, but it's a minority.

This man was already known to think like this... Pretending he is more evolved, blablabla.

So, when are we locking up the real life attractive women? Surely they can't be allowed to roam free and have men sexualize them.

It's always interesting how feminism went from allowing women to dress as they like to now being told to hide their bodies.
It's the nature of these things. They come full circle.

Folie à deux. These folks are most certainly reinforcing each other’s delusions. Reminds me of the folks who believe the government is throwing noise rays at them, following them, etc.

Crazy folks infecting weak minded others and young folks on the TikTok and the Twitter.

"Trans people are killing women! When a female converts to male, there is one less female in the world. This must not be allowed to happen!"
Throw their own dumb logic at them.

I just showed the Stellar Blade demo to my 17-yo daughter, and asked if she was offended. Granted, she does like the anime art style (but on a very superficial level, just drawing, she's far from a weeb), and to my surprise, she didn't kill herself. She said Eve looks neat.
Great job parenting there, killer. You literally encouraged her a play a round of Russian roulette. I'm sure you also have her re-enact Frogger on busy highways 🙄

"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."
And I mentioned this in the other thread on the topic, but "the fictional standards expected by men" is a very misleading statement. Unrealistic expectations for female beauty are primarily reinforced by women, not by men. Sure, men enjoy looking at beautiful women, but if you look at where the pressure to conform to unrealistic beauty standards is coming from, it is overwhelmingly coming from women. Look at women's magazines or the fashion industry, as two simple examples. Warren Farrell documented all of this thoroughly in his book, The Myth of Male Power, back in the 90s.

Yup.

No guy is reading all those womens fashion magazines, and for the endless shitload of womens clothing, shoe, jewelry and make up stores in malls or any online retailer, that's not guys pressuring them to buy all this junk. No doubt I think all us guys want our women looking good, but I dont think too many go ape shit expecting them to be outright sleazy floozeballs with caked on make up and butt injections, joker smiles, and whatever other surgery or clothes they blow their money on. No guy I've ever talked to even likes this. They roll their eyes when they say wifey-poo spends shit loads of money on endless wall of black shoes, coats and jewelry. The only guys who love that are the ones who love pornstars with the fakest tits and lip injections kind of women.

It's like the women at the office. You got some which look like they got out of bed and dont give a shit, some that put in some effort looking professional, then there's always a couple really dolled up ones who look like they are about to hit a club right after work and party all night. Everyone knows (including them) all the guys will look, chat with them more, and a lot of the other women will hate her for being too out there loving the attention from the guys. So it's a stupid cycle. If women dont want attention, they just go to the office looking chill. No guy is forcing it with sleazy dress code rules. But a lot of women pressure themselves to get attention because they love it. And it makes all the other women feel like shit and ugly. And for the ones that do it and love it, the rest hate her for it and they wish she would dumb down to their level. Well too bad. Some women like to be hot and flaunt it.

I dont get the notion guys do the same or care. whether some guys go in normal looking or muscle dude busting out of their button shirt like He Man, I dont think guys give a shit even though we all know who are the good looking guys and who arent. None of us care.

Delusional.

people like this make it so their side just isn’t taken as seriously. It’s literally the boy who cried wolf, and at some point something real will happen and no one will care because of the rhetoric and extreme language that’s used over the most innocuous things.

When everything gets an extreme response, nothing becomes extreme.
 
"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 don’t want it to exist because they are so sick in the head and despise beauty in the normal sense. They love things to be twisted and unreal such as trans women. So a sexy real female who looks like those pics makes them foam at the mouth because it goes against what they believe. Beyond cringe and enough to make one vomit.

Good looks is just like having good money or a slick car.

There's always going to be a crowd of people hating and jealous.

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.
Seriously. This editor in chief is only embarrassing himself. But that's my extent of caring about this. I'm already bored of it.

At this point, I just want to play and experience Stellar Blade for myself to see what it's like, on whatever platform I can play the game in the future, because the vast majority of the noise (the word "discourse" should never apply to anything involving a festering, rancid shithole like Twitter) around the game has only gotten more insufferable over time.

I assume he is equally as appalled by women only seeking tall men with wealth and status.
Of course not.

Methinks this guy is the one that has a problem with women.

No well adjusted male is going to think twice about playing a sexy video game character and compare that to a living breathing loving women in his life.

However, a person that has an unhealthy relationship women and about women may say things like “we can’t have characters like this in video games because they will get beat.” A sane person doesn’t think of this. One that has real issues with women…would.

Yikes. The amount of outrage over a curvy women in a video game seems bonkers.

I’d love to see the stats of what people make in a character creator menu.

I personally make all my characters men or women with what most people would say is the stereotype for very good looking for their respected gender. Women, curvy and lean. Men jacked and lean. I’d wager most people do the same thing.

No ones complaining that kratos body is extremely rare in the real world. I know I’ll never have a physique like kratos and that certainly doesn’t hurt my feelings.
