Well here is the way I look at Bayonetta 2.

Lets say we have two identical volleyball games made.  Both play the exact same, both gameplay is amazing, fluid, flawless.  They both follow regulation volleyball rules, ect, ect.  Basically they are both 10/10 sports games for volleyball.

Now the one difference between the two games are is that one is a Olympic Volleyball game with real life volleyball players you play as.  the other is a dead or alive game, with big bouncy you know whats.  So just basically a skin change, or a quick mod if it was a pc game.

They should get the same freaking score.  Sexism or not, pretty sure I as the consumer can judge a game by its freaking cover.  It's not hard to look at the two games and decide NOT to buy DOA beach volleyball due to its sexist nature, something one can easily see from Bayonetta game cases as well.

Though I agree, I don't.

I don't think a game should get away with being sexist or racist. Or anything else like that. If it's offensive and in a bad way, it shouldn't get away with it. But that's obviously not the case with Bayonetta - there's always a somewhat tolerable limit.

But really, Bayonetta isn't as sexist as GTA is racist, and yet GTA keeps getting away with it every time.

Well yea, you hope that the dev team has a female or whatever race, religion, ect part of the team that is making the game in order to keep it in line.  From all i've heard Bayonetta goes about its sexualization in a way that keeps it from being criminal.  Hell sometimes I find the things I see as "holy shit, how do they get away with that" as having been done by the very person it is making fun of.  (not solely speaking of games here)

It's the same way as Comics tend to not crack jokes that are about a different race/gender/religion/ect than themselves.
