Now you know how I don't like to use the sit-down gun, but this morning we just don't have time for mucking about.

There's a fun image out there of all those anime ship girls and whatever war crimes they were part of in world war 2 listed next to them.

Like that makes them less attractive to the target audience.

Well that makes the game even more confusing to me - it's a power fantasy with no power but a lot of misogynistic overtones instead? Odd mix.

You just described meninism/redpill.

It was a meme on D&D, 'til the emote killed it.

Aaaand we've come full circle. But this isn't debate and discussion, so, anyone got some terrible games?

Yeah, it should be the other way around, Bayonetta was inspired by DMC!

What does the non-H version replace the horrific sexual abuse and body horror with, you might ask?

VAMPIRES. I swear on the goddamn bible, it makes her a vampire instead of a sexual abuse victim. :psyboom:

I mean, vampires were sexual abuse metaphors since forever, so it's not really a new use of vampires. On the other hand, it sounds like it's done extremely poorly, and somehow backwards?

Wait, the angry video game nerd has only had an account for a few months? That's surprising.

Especially with the teaser picture, it looked like a completely different game.

Honestly I’m surprised the hate They get as a genre. Like there are individual ones that do really bad things but people treat the concept of a power fantasy as some dirty thing when like most media is a power fantasy of some variety.

Hell action movies are usually the exact same power fantasy at their cores.

"Slavery is good" as a popular trope is pretty much the main difference in complaint between it and most power fantasies, but that's a heck of a first step.

e: by no means is it a necessary part of the genre, but it's common enough to warrant notice.
