First world feminists go after video games because it's the only thing they can now attack without backlash or risk of oh...you know actually doing something important. When you're in the public eye, video games make for the perfect target because they're not yet considered 'mainstream' culture. People don't hold video games in the same respect as things such as books, music, and movies which means you can attack the entire medium without fear. Look at the gun control BS. The damn NRA uses video games as their scapegoat and nobody but gamers (the people who actually know something about the medium) call them out on their bullshit while mainstream media just nods along. Same thing happened with that feminist frequency BS. She took a whole lot of peoples' money to spout off a bunch of BS and the gaming community put her in her place by picking her argument apart and refuting her. She called it abuse. You want to piss off a feminist, put their views under a microscope and scrutinize them. Be critical, just as you would any other academic work. Apparently feminists think they're exempt from outside interpretation. You're either with them or you're part of the 'rape culture'. You want to help women? Go after human trafficking or go promote equal gender rights in the middle east (took a whole class on that one last fall). Do something that will actually help women instead of attacking how they're portrayed in media, especially something done in anime style which is known for it's insane distortions of human anatomy. And if men would like to see attractive women in the media then get over it! I don't see them chastising any of the attractive male actors or video game characters. I think you are getting to worked up. The women did those things for easy internet celebrate status. Making the same comments to other forms of media would just make her sound like another voice in the crowd but in the video game world garmers gave her 15 minutes. Nah, not worked up. Just putting down my thoughts on the matter.

Amen. lol I completely agree with this. these "feminists" have more important things to spend their time on, and as wave stated they are only trying to stir up drama and gain attention. hopefully this doesn't effect the possibility of Shinovi Versus becoming available in NA and EU
