Agree that it doesn’t specifically state women but with the completely sexist culture in gaming as a whole and, according to the article, in China in particular, the cunt isn’t getting a pass on this one. I like the look of the game but that is some toxic shit.
He might be dreaming about Pigsy sucking him off...
The implication's of wifely duties thirst, I think that's fair to say, but from those quotes my perception of his reality falls firmly into the masturbatory camp, so there's interpretation to be waged. We dunno what turns him on, and thought-crime wankers aren't rare in gamedev.
But an out-and-out miso beyond the cultural norm? I wouldn't use those comments to support that claim, and it might be our preconceptions of his culture (both of 'em) making us jump the conclusion gun. That's all. Was he writing like a dick? Plain as day. Probably holding it, too.
Yeah, pretty gross really no matter what sphere of 'ism' his decision to post those comments came from. I probably would have checked the game out but now I won't.
I actually agree with you more than me — deffo sexist, but went devil's advo on objectification because I don't know where he lies on the most-of-us-at-15 to Captain Incel scale, and in these times I think it's important to give that right of reply (did he elaborate any?). How do we come to terms with the Fleshlight World of gamedev if we jump to 11 every time?
(If they're running suicide nets all bets are off.)
The only answer is to quit most entertainment media. Weinstein's scapegoating was palpable. Which is obviously a defeatist attitude that won't lead to a better future, but it's where we are and too depressing for some of us to engage with. Like Keith's Labour. I mentioned in the TV thread I've stopped googling actors I like in case they disappoint.
I love Jess Curry's work, so I'd like to see more Chinese Rooms. More financial support for such devs.
Key question that I don't think anybody's asked yet: how much of this can we blame on Cinty? Same country, same industry... hardly a coincidence methinks...
I wondered if Cinty might know some decent folk there, in mind of a mass boycott. Can we all not just tell plonker to grow up and stop embarrassing the company?
If you wanna stop playing the majority of games it's a fine position to take. (With his poundshop games, I think Moot already has.)
