To Japanese audience. If media and you guys start acting like that then in future we wont be able to see Japanese conference live. In Japan things like there are common.

The poor decision from them was to broadcast the conference to the western side of the world, where everyone looks at things seeking flaws and problems where there are none. This conference was meant for the Japanese audience, where habits and customs are quite different from the rest of the world. People make a big fuss out of nothing. If the character there had been a guy, nobody in the west would make a big deal out of it.
The people who make a big deal out of all this, are those who can't be honest and admit that they don't want to see these kind of images plastered everywhere in the medias, be it entertainment, publicity, movies, etc.:


Objectification of the women's body? Come back when you think those 3 are definite beauties.
And of course, let's forget to mention the way males are represented in the medias...
I wouldn't be surprised if most of the comments made against this come from guys who are guilty of masturbating at porn...

Let me guess. I posted about my faith in God and thus you went into some kind of faulty reasoning about my stance on the viability of Quantum Mechanics. Instead of playing some guessing game, why not just be straight? Until then I will guess it's about something dumb like that. @People siding in this thread. I think it just goes to show how, even if people are informed, they prefer remain ignorant on world issues. |
I'm sorry, but Mornelithe, Tachikoma, Tamron, Hynad, Pokoko, and others went about the conversation a lot better than you did. They gave their input with clear logic and evidence while you prematurely jumped to several conclusions. Your faith on the Christian god isn't the problem, but part of a larger problem, which is hastily jumping to conclusions and disagreeing with other people who have clearly shown better judgement and reasoning than you.
At least they're improving, Anime school girls are a step up from slaughtered goats and borderline racism.

Questionably bad PR spreads faster than good PR, the world falls for it every time. Morpheus is coming.
what it boils down to is this.
there are a vocal minority of women forcing drama and issues wherever possible to obtain what they feel is justice and fairness, they are doing this for 'all women', but if a woman speaks up and says 'actually, i don' t agree with this, its stupid' they are openly attacked, belittled and played down by that vocal minority, it happens all the damn time, they want to push their agenda and women not playing ball put their mission at risk and are, openly, told they are "a traitor to their own gender'
its utter bullshit, its basically a tiny portion of women trying to force their views on an entire gender under the guize of making the world a better place.
theres no equality in forcing the world to bend to your desires through agression or shaming, all that does is tip the table the other direction.
The absolute kicker here is that men are joining arms with these people and marching the march in the lynchmob of political correctness.
This is what we get for living in a generation of pack mentality born from the tumblr generation, perfectly willing to villify groups of people such as 4chan while conveniently ignoring the thousands if women on Twitter who will blindly attack and hate on anyone theyre told to by the leaders of this mob.
what the men that pander to their egos don't actually get is, youre not wanted by them, you have a penis and thus regardless of what you think or say, you are actually the enemy, and even if not right now, sooner or later they will turn on you becayse if they dont then their plight is tainted, tainted by the idea that they succeeded with the help of men.
Padib, im going to directly mention you, even if it means a ban.
You tell others to respect your religious beliefs and opinions, but you often times do not respect the same values in return, your attitude about the game respects your own beliefs but lacks respect for an entire culture and lacks respect for gamers who find interest in this game, your posts more often than not take the moral high ground and overanalyse every single word, often giving the sense that you meander off on side topics triggered by certain words or scentences, this without fail paints a picture of a guy insistant on belittling others and thrusting himself morally above them, whilst giving them the impression that youre highly intellectual, when in reality all you do is succeed in showing that you miss the point or misunderstand entirely.
and whenever you cannot find a way to take the moral highground or thrust yourself intellectually above the person youre talking with, you play the victim and point out all the mean things the other person has said, often going as far as to bring up reporting or rules. this is a trait that is extremely similar to the vocal minority we now call feminists.
it's not conducive with discussion and completely unrelated to the topic at hand, you have this attitude in every single thread.

Indeed. But Tekken Team isn't a Sony team... Yeah, Sony decided to give Namco some screen time at their conference, but in the end they're not responsible for what developers outside of their own studios are creating for their hardware. And besides, it's not like there's anything wrong with that game to begin with, as Tachikoma eloquently pointed out already.
| padib said: The part that really bugs me about your post is that you seem to have perfectly understood me (though not actually), you were the one to be quite rude in the first place. Do you think I'm playing the victim card or nitpicking, or is it possible that it's just true for a change? |
Lets see now.
| padib said: Apparently everyone agrees with you |
Nope, I guess I'm just fine, thanks.
| padib said: I have a question. Do you think that being female makes your opinion on feminism more credible somehow? I thought you said earlier that feminists are in the minority (on which I agree). |
Would my take on how painfull it is to be kicked in the balls be as credible as someone that actually has balls he's been kicked in?
Would your take on the description of the pain felt during child birth be more credible than mine?
Theres your answer.
| padib said: Sorry, I may not have breasts, but if my sex were constantly made the object of sexual desire, it would begin to insult me. |
It is, you just ignore it, how very convenient.


Sex is used to sell regardless of gender, you've just chosen to focus on one particular gender.
| padib said: There is more to a sex than its body. Also, I can put myself in the position of a feminist to understand, I don't need to be a woman to understand their plea. |
There is no plea, it's a play for power using the media and pandering social groups to enforce that play.
The current brand of feminism makes a mockery of the women that fought, for their own rights, rather than to fight to restrict the rights of others.
| padib said: That would be like telling a white man he could not understand the hardships of being a black man, or telling a rich man he could never understand the plight of a poor man. |
Skin color is irrelevant in this day and age, a wealthy well schooled person will do well in life regardless of skin color, where as a poor person living in the projects will go through hardships, the difference is not skin color, the difference is class, the upper class do not understand what it is to be poor until they are poor, just as the poor do not understand what it is to be rich until they are rich.
Racism exists everywhere, it isn't just "oh god that poor black man is being hated by the white people", it goes every way, every direction, that's how racism works, at the same time, thats how sexism works, it isn't just men belittling women, women belittle men too.
| padib said: I hope you see how quickly fallacious that line of thinking can get. |
I just see how full of yourself you are.
