This case is the perfect example of gamer hypocrisy. Gamers keep saying how much gaming did/should/will evolve as a medium. Using the example of how storytelling in games has matured, with sony fans using games like Heavy Rain as an example. They also claim that gaming has become art.

But then, when cases like this happen, gamers are complaining because ''it is no big deal''. Not only do they think it's no big deal, but they basically call out and insult ppl who think cases like this is wrong. I have'nt experienced the trophy myself, but from what I heard, it's kratos violently smashing a women's face over and over again, followed by the 'bros before hoes'' trophy. Now let's imagine a movie with a scene with a muscular guy beating up a women and then the scene would be followed by a lame ''bros before hoes'' joke. Ppl would'nt be afraid to call this a perfect example of terrible taste. But say a similar part of a game is bad taste and ppl call you a ignorant sissy fanboy with sand in your vagina,

Make up your mind, either gaming has become a mature medium and form of art, and if that is the case that trophy at the very least a immature letdown, or either gaming is still a immature form of entertainment where every childish, sexist and provocative* ''jokes'' goes.

*by provocative, I mean cases that are provocative only to be provocative and not to make ppl think.

 

Edit: I would love to point out that gamer's reaction to this (as perfectly exampled with alot of comments in this thread) is just as immature if not more as the trophy itself. Just because someone is calling out what he think is a issue in a game or gaming in general does'nt make him a ''oversensitive bitch'', but calling someone this for these reasons diffenetly makes you one.

You have absolutely no clue what you are talking about. Not all movies are considered art and not all art is considered tasteful.... unless you think shit in a bucket is tasteful? because that was literally a display at an art gallery. Some people paint with shit and display it at galleries.

Anyway to answer your question about the movie. It would probably be used as a poster child of "the seriousness of domestic violence" and "this movie captures the emotions of women going through this across the country." Sure it would probably also receive criticism but fact remains most critics would probably turn it into some pretentious bull shit blah blah blah blah
