The fact that your only way of rebuttal with this subject is to downplay the problem and say that only perverts are complaining is both disingenious and quite dumb tbh.
Not to mention that you being suposedfly someone who studied anthropology/social science, and to be doing generalizations like that, lmao; And yet you are then making walls of text when someone does it about the fgc for being racist, sexist, unwelcoming, elitist, etc, funny how that works.
You know very well that is not the issue.
The problem is that we have people who dont play those games making a fuss because they find it offensive and forcing their pov on others, trying to police what people like or can play.
We have games being censored, changed, not being imported and/or cancelled because people give too much power to some retards posting dumb shit on social media.
People are getting tired that stuff they like is unnecesarily changed to please idiots.
And is not only games, is in every medium of enterteinment.
Just recently, a black/death metal concert had to be cancelled because there were threats against the local it was going to be hosted because some idiots found the content of the lyrics of the band offensive.
But hey, since this is about fan service you dont care, but once is something you care, the walls of text are inbound.
Also, last i checked, no one has been trying to force fan service in games that didnt have it to begin with, while on the other hand, we have been seeing people complaining about games being problematic because they have fan service, so your argument is not only flawed, but quite dumb
Also,m the espn shit only showed the hypocrites those imbeciles are, since they have plenty of shit that has sex appeal on it, but the moment a vg has t&a that shit is an affront to humanity that needs to be censored.
GTFO.
Last i checked, not every character on SF is fan servicey, neither you are forced to have one single type of costume for the character.
If you are bothered by the look of a game and you prefer not to play it, that is fine.
Demonize it and the people who like that, that is stupid.
There’s a part in the Kage theme song where it really sounds like someone screams “Mortal Kombat!” I doubt they do, but it sounds like the same notes from the old commercials.
