Ex-Insomniac dev throws his bosses under the bus over Rivet's design being too feminine.

Why did she have a stereotypical female voice? why did she identify as female at all and not they/them? lol People like this clown need to go and sadly on twitter 90% of what he'll get is "oh I love you" from women in the industry.

What time is it?
Well, because she is essentially a furry anthropomorphic woman, as someone stated above, breasts would be a more obvious choice, but point taken.

I don't really care about the design one way or the other. Homeboy lost the high ground when he advocated people cranking it to the design because she is a furry but then had a problem with the design be sexualized. That's a helluva tight rope to walk.

A cis white man would not refer to himself as a cis white man. FFS
That's him telling the ladies on staff he's "open for bid-ness".

Are there people here upset that a video game female fox didn't have bigger tits? Weird shit
Nah, but you know the people who screech are often found to be pedo’s/rapists or have some other deep dark secret which they’re trying to overcompensate for.

Sounds like a basic artistic "discussion" which happens when people are invested in what they are doing.

And then he goes to Twitter to make a huge deal about something that's pretty typical part of artistic process and uses that for ideological purposes.

Seems immature to me.

What's sad is she's got ear rings.

I mean you can't change your biology, but ear rings are a completely man-made artefact that has evolved over time (i.e. men never used to wear them) and a much more overt way of forcing gender stereotypes. The irony kills me. I bet he didn't argue for her not to have ear rings. Maybe someone needs to cancel him for not noticing?

If it’s just a alien space fox why does it matter if she DOES have feminine features?

What little girl (or boy for that matter) is looking at Rivet as anything more then just a dope ass female hero honestly?
Yep, which is the point. Making Rivet look in some ways more "feminine' helps that little girl or boy to view her as that dope ass female hero. A androgynous fox like creature would not let people identify as closely.

What is that guy on about? He's acting like Rivet was running around the game only dressed in a miniscule bikini with her huge breasts always on the cusp of falling out.
There is nothing remotely sexist in Rivet's design. Guy's just spouting his propaganda like a properly brainwashed radical leftist. He'll get a few pats in the back from his ilk and will lose some job opportunities in the future.

Exactly, even if I 100% agreed with him I wouldn't want to hire anyone that airs this shit in public.

It's like when someone says to me "hey don't tell anyone I told you this but..."

I think ok well that gossip, if true, is indeed good information to know, but on the flip side I will never, ever, ever tell you anything in private ever again now that I know you have no sense of restraint. You become poisonous to me. A liability.

I'm really fucking confused. Why is there twitter? And why does this world have so much of this? And no offence to my cross the Atlantic cousins but why is this mainly happening in America? What happened over there?

What happened to the lethal weapon, Beverly Hills cop, rococop, terminator America I idolised growing up!

.....bring back cocaine?
 
A female Lombax looks like a Female lombax and that's what the game director/art director wanted out of how Rivet must look, yet this former employee has a problem with it?

Out of curiosity what's the he/him and she/her that people use these days on the twitter profile?
Narcist people that are too full of themselves must tell everyone which gender they are. Because it is not enough to just look at them and just realize "ah so he's a dude!". They try to tell us, that you can change your gender at will, and nothing is final, and in the end genders don't matter much. But then one must ask: If gender doesn't matter, why do you need to tell everyone how you identify?

The people who flaunt their so called "progressive" values tend to be the worst kind of people.

That's because these were your game developers back then:

main-qimg-b4b4257c104a72c16e69287521e695a4.webp


Passionate video game geeks with a dream bouncing off each other, eating pizza, and drinking mountain dew whilst coding with the bros.

Now, it's more like this:

(the fact that they're all women isn't the problem, but you see what I mean.)

These people don't really care about the franchises they're developing on. They're merely using them as springboards to supplant whatever inane ideologies they've been concocting over the last decade and sucking the soul out of what used to be passion projects for video game ardents. It's sad.
The fact they are women is a problem. If you ever worked in women dominated office, it's hell. They will openly hate each other and when I pointed out to this one lady this huge fucking mistake, all I heard was "she is not feeling ok" and then crying :p like wtf.

And if there are men in that environments who are not popular with these "women" they will turn to incels
 
"Say you are a mentally unstable sex-obsessed creep, without saying you are a mentally unstable sex-obsessed creep".



well hello m’lady (tips fedora)

how have you been marginalized and wronged, so?

I will save you from this toxic modern culture m’lady, just call me your purple shaded knight in shining armor

lmao I love this thread. What the fuck even is this post? Now you can just "catch a bad case of incel" by working in an office where the majority of workers are female?

The woman gives him an awkward smile and turns around, starting to walk away as he masturbates behind her back.

"S-scoooore .... " he mutters as he brings himself to the edge.

Means content in self iirc. Hard to keep up. It's mostly used as a perjorative term, obviously.
Not sure if you got a reply, but a 'cis man' means that he identifies as man and was born man as opposed to transgender. Why the fuck it's just not called just 'A MAN' I've not idea.

90%? that is way too generous, furries are still oddball in the eyes of the public, maybe he thinks doing this helps to compensate some 🤷‍♀️
