Post videogame things that wouldn't be acceptable today. -

Lack of monetization. People in this thread are naming all the typical things I'd expect in a thread like this, but annoying faggots whining about sexy women in games, toxic masculinity, racism, homo/transphobia, etc, are annoying faggots that both publishers and developers could easily and readily ignore if they so choose, and some of them do. Monetization though? That started years before the current woke trend was even a thing outside of specific college campuses.

We'll see the return of sexy women being the norm in games, along with general political incorrectness, and that return will happen sooner then some of the pessimists like to think, but the ugly trend that started with oblivion horse armor will still be around long after the modern puritans have lost all influence and power over gaming.

There's always been plenty of female gamers though, it's not anything totally new, the Final Fantasy games for example had a huge female following, absolutely huge and survival horror games like the Silent Hill series had a large female following as well.

This idea that female gamers were a huge rarity prior to the 2010s isn't true.

I didn't say prior to 2010. If you grew up before the PSX and N64 then there's a different story.

Forcing a physical-only release as a publisher or developer. You will never again be able to ensure the Tapes Keep Circulating if at any point your creation is deemed problematique. Now a marketplace can demand you edit your own content or be consigned to the Memory Hole.

The further you go back the rarer female gamers were, sure, but I'm just saying by the late 90s and 2000s they weren't uncommon, even though the SJW narrative is that gaming was a great big boy's club until the 2010s.

Dude, third party distributors, torrents and file sharing in general are means that would allow the Tapes to Keep Circulating, as you put it, regardless of a physical release existing or not.

Alright, how many of these guys grew up to be Sonic lolcows?

For PC releases as far as your second and third examples go, sure, but emulators are two generations back, and third party distributors like Limited Run Games are both overpriced and, by their nature and name, limited. The best chance a developer has is being able to insist on a physical release only.

Icewind dale 2's main plot revolving around evil hapas attempting to rape the good pure races out of existence. Obviously this wouldn't fly now days since it shows race mixing and diversity in a negative light.

Silent Hill 3.

With the rape, abortion, God, female protagonist and the whole theme of psychology, family relationship and dark edgy thene behind it, most faggotty journalist will try to find something to complain and the twitter mob will crucify it on arrival.

According to the comments on Youtube and Wikipedia, Outlaw Tennis has Stephen Colbert, Outlaw Volleyball has Steve Carell.

I guess I must have confused the versions of the Steve.

Still pretty funny that Daily Show alum has now turned into complete shells of themselves.

Carell and Colbert are the Bill Paxton/Bill Pullmans of Steves. They even sound kind of similar when they're doing voiceovers.

One would imagine the Prince of Persia who, to date, had only been portrayed by white men (Yuri Lowenthal, Robin Atkin Downes, Nolan North, and Jake Gyllenhaal in the movie) will likely never happen again. If the character ever makes a return he’s going to look and sound like he just barely survived his own suicide bombing.

They do sound alike, weren't they the voices of the Ambiguously Gay Duo?

I wonder if they even remember doing the Outlaw games.

Oh yeah, they were (Colbert was Ace and Carell was Gary). I forgot about that.

I fucking hate that so much, sometimes "because it's cool/sexy" is a good enough answer, it's fantasy for fucks sake, who cares if it's "realistic"?

SJWs not only hate sex appeal but they also have this weird desire to bring everything down to a banal reality instead of just allowing things to be fun and cool.

In the case of Soul Calibur, first of all this is a world where people hit each with blades but it doesn't cut them, but you're telling me the fact that a lady fights in dominatrix gear is what shatters the realism for you?

And secondly, with a character like Ivy, it's much like Conan The Barbarian fighting dudes in a loin cloth or Rambo gunning down dudes while shirtless, fighting while wearing little clothing is badass, Ivy sending the message of "I'm such a badass I don't need big bulky armor, I can beat you in a thong" is empowering, it's badass, it's not a sign of weakness.

In fact this goes back to the whole femme fatale archetype, once upon a time a female character being flagrantly sexual was a sign of strength, not weakness, it implied danger, not vulnerability.

It's such fucking bullshit that people have gotten it in their heads that sexy always = sexist or sexy always = weakness.

I just love how Yoko Taro's response was "lmao hot girls".

It almost certainly is. Its name is just the Japanese word for polygon. It's like how Gradius is actually gladius, which is a type of sword, but the mistranslation sounds like a cool word and is more memorable than a generic word. A Pokemon named "polygon" is just stupid, whereas "porygon" sounds like a pun or something even though it isn't.

I just assumed it was the same intentional misspellings like Onyx and Jinx.

The irony is 2B is an android so there's at least an in plot excuse for why it doesn't matter what she wears or how she looks, if you were designing an android why not make them a hot girl?

You know I was going to mention Silent Hill 2 but I feel that game and this one would pass under the radar. These resetera type complaints are very surface level so if a game leaves the controversial stuff as subtext that won't stick out in a trailer or pre release footage by the time the bitching starts it's already post release.

If the developer would worry about journalists discussing how "problematic" the game is slap an embargo on the review and if/when the mob forms you'll probably get a few extra sales just to spite those complaining.
