The enshitification of video games with microtransactions and other corporate garbage: I sleep
(hexbear.net)
Women wearing slightly more clothes in video games: REAL SHIT?
The craziest thing is her critique wasn't even "get rid of sexy bimbo dressed female characters" but "ever noticed how it's only the female character dressed in sexualized way".
She never demanded what they claim she did. She just highlighted some objective truths about where game design had ended up. Most of them didn't even notice that the solution a lot of game developers went with was add a himbo'd out male character for every bimbo'd out female character because that lets you maximize the audience you can appeal to.
It reminds me of how around the same time a lot of game industry executives couldn't understand why their female employees were commenting about the booth girls or female pole dancers at company events. Most of the time they were completely unnecessary for whatever the event theme was. Also doesn't take a genius to realize that if the theme of an event calls for some dancers, maybe hire both male and female dancers so everyone gets some eye candy?
also no work event calls for strippers I don't want my boss in any way interacting with my sexuality and no one should be expected to have to experience something sexual they don't want to as a condition of their employment or to get ahead in the company
in fact and hear me out here on every occassion you were going to hire strippers hire clowns. Clowns are a style of humour designed for adults originally based around transgression of rules and mockery of established ways of doing things therefore would do great in an office setting
We hear you, we see you, and we have decided to compromise by hiring clown strippers.
No....not again.....I'm not....strong enough.
Hol up let me get ready
Yeah why try to appeal to everyone when you could just appeal to noone.
