So the fact that Jade willingly participated in her own whoring to sell a video game doesn't warrant a reaction of any kind?

You're either saying that Jade is a stupid individual for not realizing she was being exploited, or that it shouldn't matter that she was being exploited for being attractive.

Either way, you're shooting yourself in the foot.

So is she dumb or is the exploitation of individuals OK as long as they aren't giving handjobs to people?

Don't put words in my mouth. I never said anything about what she did or didn't do to "deserve" this. The only thing I've said is that this type of reaction is uncalled for. I've stated previously that there were several ways this comic could have been done that wouldn't be seen as offense and would still be conveying the message. Like I said before, any good comic know when to stop before they've gone too far.

This is how you do a team-picture.

NOOOO!!!

Now those poor women will be the victims of evil sexless internet videogame nerds! Because you know, the industry is full of angry women-beaters who will dismember any member of the opposite sex for trying to work in videogames.

Where were you when Reggie was made into Donkey Kong using photoshop?
When J Allard was turned into an evolving Rastafarian Pokemon?
When the Nintendo Management staff was turned into Orange Julius loving male models cruising around town in a topless Jeep Wrangler?
When Peter Moore got shot to death in Killzone 2?

etc etc etc

You only care because Jade is female?
Because she's attractive?

She's being treated no differently than anyone else in this industry, you're just having a hard time swallowing it because it's a girl this time, and now people have gender to use as a weapon instead of race, age or weight.

Or maybe the industry is reacting to a company clearly exploiting there attractive producer to sell a game?

Ubisoft made her a media whore to sell the game, bottom line.

OMG, the very idea of a business using an attractive person as a public face! That Ubisoft...what an insidious scheme they've come up with here. If it's not beaten back by the power of biting satire other companies might start doing it!

Oh wait.
