>I realize you're a stranger to this discussion. But you're coming in from the completely wrong angle here. You are right that I am not up on the current DOA controversy. I simply know the controversy that has existed around that franchise since basically its inception. That plus the other commenter's comparison to sex work led me to believe the complaints were coming from the other side of the issue. I'm apparently wrong on that, but either way we are still talking about the same issue. People in the past have complained that the game objectified women. The developers have tried to distance themselves from that and now the fans are crying censorship. There is still the same issue at the heart of it, just which side is complaining the loudest has flipped. >You're 100% wrong about this. There are plenty of examples inside of the video game community where adult women with 100% consent and 100% control over their creative abilities choose to be sexy, but this sexiness invites controversy. I didn't say there would be zero controversy, but there is definitely less controversy when someone objectifies a group of which they belong. That isn't limited to video games. That is true of basically all modern western culture. |
