Did Bayo get a new personality or something, because I don't remember reviews being docked solely because of too much sexyness or whatever Polygon was trying to get across last generation.

No as in the Gamespotting that happened recently where they gutted the staff because it was under performing. It's why they've started trying to "branch out from just gaming"

Bayonetta always striked me as being a celebration of trashy, flamboyant femininity in the same way that drag queens are.

It also helps that at the time bayo 1 came out polygon was just a twinkle in chris grant's jizz rag.

Especially feature writers ?(That one thing they said would set them apart from other sites)

They're already getting close.

I haven't checked with any of the stores recently, but it wouldn't surprise me if the game is actually banned. That usually doesn't mean much, though. We've had banned games before, like God of War, Dante's Inferno (lol), and GTA V, but that doesn't stop certain stores selling them under the counter for inflated prices. IIRC they were selling GTA V for about $150. It's easy to get through all this nowadays through digital stores, but it's still funny because I remember stores here selling Bayonetta 1 in the open for a couple of days.

bayonetta is super fascinating to me because usually sexist bullshit in game is pretty cut and dry, you know, you look at dead or alive or something and it's like "ugh" but bayonetta just seems to confuse people but then you read stuff like kamiya designing bayonetta specifically to be intimidating to people like him and gulf countries are like "nope" and arthur gies shits in our mouths and all the pieces start to fall into place

Both are overstepping societal boundaries to some degree, but one is gross and the other is hilarious. I don't know, I'm European and we have naked people on daytime TV all the time so fnord

Real-talk: I've read a lot of discussion about Bayo as a character in SA, and I think that some people find her objectionable mainly because they're somewhat prudish. Which is fine! Because even now, I think she's a pretty cool character and a hilarious take on hyper-sexuality, but I still find myself occasionally embarrassed or whatever. I guess my Catholic upbringing is deeper-set than I thought.
