I haven't read this entire thread, but the accusations I've seen that I'm only doing this for pageviews; that I don't actually care about the things I'm saying; that my criticism is contributing to the mistreatment of women - are inappropriate, out of line, and rather disgusting.

One is that her shirt is trying to escape from her chest. She also has a very childish face that resembles lolicon imagery. I don't think either of those features is beautiful or worth lauding in any way Now let's look at the gif that was posted earlier in this thread. Maybe you think it's reasonable, or beautiful, or aesthetically pleasing when a female character's breasts move like that during combat. I don't.

Go ahead and look at that gif again. I hope you can see how that might make people feel uncomfortable You could say that, examined in a vacuum, this is just a silly cartoon. But viewed as part of the video game industry - and it is, despite its niche, part of the video game industry - this is just another example of an exclusionary chunk of gaming culture. On Twitter yesterday, one person said to me, "I like Are you kading me? 1 sur hp es how you complain about some games being 'made for men and only men' as if that's a bad thing." Are you kidding me? I sure hope I don't need to explain why that's not okay Some have accused me of singling out Dragon's Crown because Japanese niche games are easy targets for a westerner. That's just not true. I write a column every week about JRPGs. I'm criticizing this one because I don't want to see the genre headed in this direction. I want JRPGs with great female characters. Strong, complicated female characters who aren't defined by their sexuality, like Estelle in Trails in the Sky or Nanami in Suikoden II. Female characters who don't come across as aesthetic objects. One more thing: I'm probably the only person here who has actually played Dragon's Crown, and I have no interest in seeing it burn. It's a fun, interesting game that I hope to buy and play and write about. Otherwise I wouldn't care this much IF YOU ARE ATTRACTED TO THIS PICTURE YOU ARE A P--------. JSCHREIER CKOTAKU

KOTAKU" Robzooo > lan Walker 6/03/22 2:53pm "Kimberly, who was prominently teased at the end of yesterday's Street Fighter 6 presentation, will be the series' first playable Black woman" Umm Elena in street fighter 3 is definitely a black woman from Kenya. Then there are some arguements for Pullum Purna and Laura (she is Sean's sister who is canonically afro-brazillian) Reply 2 replies 36 ☆ lan Walker Robzooo 6/03/22 3:11pm "Black" in this instance specifically refers to an African-American woman. believe me, i'm aware of Elena, Laura, and Pullum Purna, but they're Kenyan, Brazilian, and Saudi Arabian respectively. it's different. https://kotaku.com/overwatch-fan-writes- letter-to-jeff-kaplan-about-black-1831576005 Reply 14 replies 12 ☆ 000

Photo: Lisa Marie Segarra / Kotaku The following blog was written by a cat named Milo. According to Milo's owner, Kotaku's own Lisa Marie Segarra, he's a rascal who enjoys cuddling and will cry until you pick him up. His favorite toy is his ball tower and he enjoys watching Criminal Minds with his human mom. Sometimes Milo, being a rascal, will jump on Segarra's keyboard and lay around on it or stand on top of the keys. This is how he sends us, the other staff at Kotaku, messages in Slack. You can always tell a Milo message. It's long, filled with repeated letters, and is usually a fun surprise. For this blog, Milo was able to spend a very long time on the keyboard before getting caught. This message was so long Slack wouldn't even let him send it to us. So instead, it has been turned into a blog for you all to enjoy. Editor's note: This blog is presented mostly as Milo created it. A few minor edits and formatting changes were made to make it work on our site. looo00000077 newkbn4eczhvyfg3hyjfik8933333338,11IIIII LLLLLLLLL888 888888 888888089 TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT TTTTTTTTTTTTTI ITTTTTTTTTTTTT ΤΤTTTTΤΤΤΤTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTΤΤΤTTTTΤΤΤTTTΤΤTTTTTTTTTTΤTT ΤTTTTTΤTTTTTTΤTTTTTI TTTTT WOEIT4G999999999999 LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL 99 999 99999 99 999 99 99999 99999999 9999999999999999999 99999999999 99 99999 9999999 999 9999 99999 99 99 999 9999 999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999199999999999999999IIIIIII9III9I9I9I9I9 D9DDD969 I96 6666666666 66666666 6666 666 6 6 6666[6[61 9GGGGGGGGGG99GG99999G99999GGG99999GGGGG9999GGGGGGGGG9 99999999999999G999999GGGGGGGGG99999999999999999999999999999 99999999999 999999 99999999 9999999 9999999 99999999 99999G9999 99GGGGGGGGG GGGGG GGGG GGGGGGGGGGGGG9IG999999999999XXX XXXX XXX ХXXXXXXXX ХXXX XXX XXХ XX XXX XXХ XXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX999999999 999999999999999999999999999999II9999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 9999999GGGGGGGGGGGG9XGGGGGGGGG99999999999999999999II9999 99999999I9999999XXXXXI9999999I9I9Í “Í“«Í´ÍÍÍ'ÍÍÍ'Í'Í'Í'Í'Í'ÍÍ¨* '33333"333“3333'333333333333ʻ3'3333333333333333333 3333333333**** “ÍÂQ71SQVG 7Ø°3'K.K9999999444444444444444444444444494444444444494494999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 999999999999999999999999999999999999S,888848848888888888888418 9; E8XZX8Gle************ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>pppp(i:::::: :::::::::PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP9999999999999988888888E8SSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSS SSSS SSSSS SS SSSS SSS SSSS SSSSS SS SSSSSS SSSS SSSSSS SSSSSS SS SSSSSS SSSSSSSSS SSSS SSSSSS SSSSS SSSSS SS SSSSSSS SSS SSSSSS SSSSSS SSS SSSSSS SSSSS SSSSS SS SSSSSSSSS SSSS SSSSSSS SSSSS SSSSSS SSS: SS SSSSSSSS SSSS SSSSSS SSSSS SSSSS SS SSSSSS SSS SSSSSS SSSSS SSSSS SS SSSSSSSSS SSSSS SSSSSS SSSSS SSSSSS SSS SSSSSS SSS: SSSSS SSSS SS -.9S SSSSSS SSS SSSSSS SSSSS SSS SSSSS SSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSS['U8;' "PP PPP PP PP PP PP PP PPPP PPP PP PP PP PP PP PP PP PP PP PP PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP1 111111111111l1111111111111111111111111111112222222222 22222222222222 222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222 222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222 2222222222222222222 2222 2222 2 2222222 222 22222 22222222 2222PI43[58 $;'3 “44444 444444 44444 4PPP4 P4PPP4PP444P4PP444P4P4 444444444444444 4444444 444 '4 44 44442 1'P3J'; 5'[P[ 64^ ##########################################EEEEEEEEEMrds J MIKOKWDRRRRR RRRRRR RRRRK RRRRR RR RRRRRRRRR RRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRR RR RRRRRR R RRRRR RR R RKUID*_u79koop[ lk, all u999 Related Stories

View Single Post Thread: #1633 jschreier Sorry about your boycott. I haven't read this entire thread, but the accusations I've seen that I'm only doing this for pageviews; that I don't actually care about the things I'm saying; that my criticism is contributing to the mistreatment of women - are inappropriate, out of line, and rather disgusting. I won't address those Today, 02:48 AM) Quote I will, however, elaborate on my points, since it doesn't seem like I've been clear enough For reference, let's look at this picture of thes sorceress Other than her proportions, there are a couple of details worth noting. One is that her shirt is trying to escape from her chest. She also has a very childish face that resembles lolicon imagery. I don't think either of those features is beautiful or worth lauding in any way Now let's look at the gif that was posted earlier in this thread. Maybe you think it's reasonable, or beautiful, or aesthetically pleasing when a female character's breasts move like that during combat. I don't. I think it's demeaning and embarrassing See, I don't think the sorceress's design is problematic because of her large breasts. What's problematic is that the character is explicitly designed to draw our eyes to her large breasts. They're exposed; they're jiggling; they're disproportionate. They're immediately striking. They're part of a lolicon fantasy, drawn to appeal to people who are interested in lolicon fantasies (and people who are interested in large breasts) So yes, maybe her design has something to do with fertility, or necromancy. Maybe she's a strong, multifaceted character with interesting thoughts and ambitions. None of that really matters, because her body is presented as a jiggling sexual object for people to leer at. (To those of you who are ready to argue that the men in Dragon's Crown are sexually objectified as well, please google "adolescent male power fantasy" and read explanations from people more qualified than I.) Go ahead and look at that gif again. I hope you can see how that might make people feel uncomfortable You could say that, examined in a vacuum, this is just a silly cartoon. But viewed as part of the video game industry - and it is, despite its niche, part of the video game industry - this is just another example of an exclusionary chunk of gaming culture. On Twitter yesterday, one person said to me, "I like Are you kading me? 1 sur hp es how you complain about some games being 'made for men and only men' as if that's a bad thing." Are you kidding me? I sure hope I don't need to explain why that's not okay Some have accused me of singling out Dragon's Crown because Japanese niche games are easy targets for a westerner. That's just not true. I write a column every week about JRPGs. I'm criticizing this one because I don't want to see the genre headed in this direction. I want JRPGs with great female characters. Strong, complicated female characters who aren't defined by their sexuality, like Estelle in Trails in the Sky or Nanami in Suikoden II. Female characters who don't come across as aesthetic objects. One more thing: I'm probably the only person here who has actually played Dragon's Crown, and I have no interest in seeing it burn.
