Is it now that every time a game is going to have a traditional male and female dynamic we are going to have to deal with seeing these articles of (I assume) unattractive women self-projecting their own esteem issues on to said game. I did have a moment when I was reading these articles and accepting some of the points however it has become a “cry wolf” issue and the hyper analyzing everything and assuming sexist, racist, homophobic means behind everything has just made me at the very least numb to their issues and at worst actively antagonistic to this clap trap.

AND ANOTHER THING!

Of all the worlds’ people to complain about how they project women, the Japanese are the least of any imaginable problem. To point out how the Japanese portray women in the hyper sexualized manner means that same person has to disregard that men are projected in the same way. Not to mention that even while being projected as these inhuman beings of sexual energy you still have women shown as he boss, the hero, the smart one, the strong one, the evil one, the (insert every possible trait) just as men. As an admirer of anime the vast majority of anime out there has a female lead who while looking amazing is the center point of the story and is shown as at the very least an equal but often as the sole unique character to base the story off of. To grab a pitch fork every time someone creates a female with an awesome set of jugs, great ass and killer body because the article writer has deep resentment for their own image means the issue isn’t with the fictional character but the source of the outrage.

For Christ sakes even hentai has strong female leads. You don’t have any solid ground to stand on attacking Japanese female concepts.
