Then, do you think Fire Emblem Heroes has a problem and is aimed at otaku basement dwellers too? It shows the exact same kind of images when your troops take damages. Maybe less sexy, but I remember people being really happy about Lucina's getting her costume damaged when the images first released... But well, these otaku basement dwellers were also really disappointed when the "petting" feature of the last game didn't come in the west. And I don't remember Fire Emblem Awakening and Fates being labeled as "garbage made for otaku basement dwellers"....
The "destructive clothes" everyone is arguing about is vastly exaggerated. From what we've seen so far, you have one artwork per character showing their costume damaged, and you can see it rarely in game (for a couple of seconds) and on the result screen. That's all. It's not "destructive clothes" at all by the way, because the characters models don't change.
Seriously, making such a fuss over nothing like that... I hope you guys never find out Senran Kagura.
I hate Konami just as much as everyone, but you should attack the game about its real problems, like the gameplay, not the really anecdotical things like one artwork you don't like.
And it's the same thing with all the other "Reboot with feminine cast" projects Hollywood is so attached to right now. The problem isn't the feminine cast itself, it's that the majority of those projects are just lazy and awful adaptations trying to use the original idea with "Now with lots of girls!", and absolutely no other idea than that. If the content was good, then these projects would be good. These ideas are usually used to hide the real flaws of the content, and then the idiots behind the idea can have a discussion about feminism and sexism rather than about how bad they are at their job.
Talk about the real issues here, about how bad the game is or looks, not "OMG they made a girl instead of a guy!".

Whoa! I personally have no problem with the Otaku culture in games, as long as the age rating of the game is appropriate, its fine with me. I was just quoting another forum user when I said "Otaku basement dwellers' because I thought it was amusing. They obviously don't like Otaku, and thats their opinion, which is fine. I actually own a couple of those games and enjoy them for what they are. Yes, the destructable clothing in Bombergirl is very tame, I'm surprised anyone could be offended by it. |
Yeah, sorry, my answer wasn't aimed at you personally, I just began answering to your comment talking about "easily destructive clothing" and ended up writing a lot more starting from there than what I originally had in mind. My bad! ^^
The original article lacks information so far and just talk about "destructible clothing" (which is wrong), and some people get pissed because of it and the "girl" part, I'm surprised too. The other website where I've seen this news (with the gameplay video) was much more focused on "it looks slow, unoriginal and bad" than "A girl, how dare they!"...
