I find it interesting how you cherry pick who's viewpoint you want to find interesting and putting words in Jason's mouth.
As has been the case with the majority of this thread. It has been a crazy thread. I can't believe there are people on here who can't seem to think beyond what images can depict and how they can alter perception of individuals, something you don't have to be aware of. But hey, a lot of guys enjoy it and fully embrace it, to the point of not giving a fuck what others think or even feel offended that it has become a heated topic as of late.
You might as well shut neogaf down while we're at it. Have you seen some of the complain threads that have existed in places such as neogaf?
The way women are depicted in video games is absolutely important if you're invested in the hobby, live in first world countries and wish to progress the industry where games can become more diverse and inclusive.
This is fine and all.
But his only issue is the fact that she has big breasts.
That is it.
That is where everything falls apart. There is an artistic reason for it.
Art obviously isn't free of criticism but calling something sexist or whatever is beyond criticism at that point..especially since the mere act of creating a big breasted character is not sexist or anything harmful. It's when you make that character useless, timid and generally only there to be saved and shit.
Yeah It is important to change the depiction but the issue with that depiction goes far beyond just big breasts.
That's what is not being touched on here
