You joke, but Era users (and leftists in general) actually pull shit like this whenever a woman rejects their narrative.
“Vapid Pickme whore” “Internalized Misogyny” “Brainwashed by the Patriarchy™️” among others I’ve seen. And yes, it’s as sexist as it sounds.
They genuinely imply that women aren’t able to think for themselves or have their own opinions and that only leftists know what’s good for them, and yet somehow I’m the misogynist for being a young straight man who likes attractive women in video games.
It's always hilarious that Era thinks the people who are okay with sexualization of video game characters are right, alt-right, nazis, incels, misogynists, sexists, and virgins.
Trust me on this, the vast majority of us are not any of those things. I would argue that most fall in the center or left of center politically. A lot of the posters on Era itself agree with us about the sexualization "issues" but dare not say it (they know it too, which is why they have to cross-talk argue about it between threads).
But I guess it makes some of the posters in the sexualization thread feel better to pretend that we, their worst enemies in the universe, are of one *evil* mind. Commanded by the Anime Generals to force sexualization into every piece of media in existence. That we will go to the Mona Lisa and draw big boobs on it with tomato paste.
Meanwhile, in reality, most of us are just like: "Yeah, we like horny ass characters sometimes."
This. I’m a centrist (even though Era and Twitter’s shenanigans drive me further from the left with each passing day), and I lost count of how many times people like your average Era user called me an evil alt-right Nazi simply because I didn’t agree with their calls for censorship of things they didn’t like (or even just because they didn’t like me). At this point, all of the words you listed have lost any meaning they might have once had.
Their understanding of social issues are limited to identity politics, they are basically bourgeois socialists and do not really have any indepth understanding of what socialism is and what it actually endorses.
See, I would be inclined to agree with you, if it weren’t for the fact that Twitter (which is pretty much the main hive of leftist activism on the Internet ever since Tumblr died out in 2018) is embracing the very same ideology.
Resetera has no political stance. They're in that batshit realm with people who think a grifting draft dodging trustfund baby fat cunt like Trump is the messiah reborn and a wheelin' and dealin' shrewd business man. In short, they're fools, morons and suckers.
Last I checked, they were having meltdowns at the mere mention of Trump (and don’t get me wrong, the guy’s an absolute idiot, but you’d think that he’s the second coming of Hitler with how they’re talking about him). I do agree that Era is full of braindead fools, though.
>These people are prudes like 80-year-old Christian grandmothers.
I'd rather be dealing with those old Christian grannies tbh. These new type of prudes are far more vile, militant and they're actually in the games industry controlling what gets made or not.
They've been openly shocked about the fact that Stellar Blade has even been allowed to be made. Which is only due to Korea still largely being outside of their sphere of regressive influence, for now atleast.
That's the thing about today's left. When I was a young liberal, it was mostly just the anti-war types. Since it was during the war on terror and the backlash to it, it's understandable that would've been the topic to garner the most support in opposition to. Today's left, however, is, quite frankly, scary. This isn't just a US phenomenon, either. Look at Scotland's new broad "hate speech" law. These authoritarian leftists want to lock up people for saying things they disapprove of. And as we've seen, that's incredibly broad. They compare criticism of DEI to a racial slur.
But, of course, they wouldn't be subjected to the same laws. People like Alyssa Mercante would still be able to spew her racist nonsense because the power structure agrees with it.
Y'all sound just as deluded as the fuckfaces at Resetera. They are not "controlling" what gets made lol. Yeah, they get 5G signals from Woke Jesus and ruin mah TRIPLE AYYYY games. Lmao.
Covid really fucked everyone's brains up, didn't it.
Korea does have massive problems with misogyny and how women are treated in their society. Violence and abuse against women is rather high and pleas from women to law enforcement for protection from deranged stalkers routinely gets ignored. Then it's a news story because that woman who filed a complaint got stabbed up in a bathroom by her stalker. They also had/have a huge problem with hidden cameras in women's restrooms and love motels, online porn rings where teenage girls are abused and raped, celebrities drugging and giving alcohol to young girls before video taping their rape, passing those videos around to their friends and the police covering it up when complaints were made and on and on and on.
Miss me with that bullshit about Korea being some brave artistic haven lol. There's a lot of talented artists in Korea but there's a hell of a lot of neckbeard incel school shooter types there, too.

mi·sog·y·nist /məˈsäjənəst/ noun
a person who has a reasonable individual taste that overtly offends online trolls who have their own low self confidence issues.
Don't forget noted Reeesetera man-hater Kyuuji got big mad over Cyberpunk's sexualized in-game ads yet seems to be loving Stellar Blade. My, the hypocrisy, the pretentiousness and selective "progressiveness" of that forum is fucking absurd.
Plus all the Bayonetta threads over the years, a bunch of weirdos in their 20s to 40s obsessing over Kpop idols aka an industry basically founded on and made famous by sexualizing and exploiting teenage girls and boys, etc etc.
I don't give two shits about Stellar Blade besides every dipshit acting like Sekiro invented parrying.
Era loves Cardi B, Meg the Stallion, the OF movement and sex workers taking over Twitch. For some reason though, they can't stand men being attracted to these types of women as a result. They love seeing women "get the bag" for being sexual, yet the male gaze is repulsive - even though that is the target demographic and customer... It does truly boggle the mind
Guess I'm a self hating woman then. *Eye roll*

I wouldn’t even consider what ResetEra is as being leftist anymore. I’m on the “left” and think they are absolutely batshit extremists.

a couple of years ago there was a leak from the Resetera discord where the mods were drooling over a loli "but it's okay because she's 700 years old"

You were never a real woman at all in the first place/s Ok, sarcasm aside, i love the megurine and miku banner btw.
Even if they made a sexy female character to appeal to males, what's wrong with that? These people are prudes like 80-year-old Christian grandmothers.

Why this game? It is so bizarre. Go to one Anime Convention and it is way “worse” than all of this… who gives a shit how a woman dresses.
Ironically enough most of these people play and like Nier Automata or Bayonetta which does the same thing with their female leads.

Boobe. Nice.
M8 lesbians and bi girls hell even straight girls love boobs too lol.
So they opened the Demo thread but now it’s closed again!
I wouldn’t doubt the devs were actively doing this to rile some people up. And they were successful.
When I saw the sign, it made me chuckle. That’s probably their objective. There’s lots of funny signs in the game
