In an interview with Glixel, Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann said that some male focus testers for Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End got very upset by Nadine overpowering Nathan, and very upset at Nathan’s kid in the epilogue being a girl.


“… we had to ask one guy to leave. In his core, it just affected him. He was cursing, "Not you, too, Naughty Dog! Goddammit. I guess I'm done with Uncharted, if you guys ever make another one, with his daughter. This loving bullshit.”

This just in

"gamers" are trash human beings too stupid to do anything other than scream and cry and throw handfuls of poo poo at each other all day

if you describe or identify yourself as a "gamer", cut your tongue out with a butterknife please, you wont ever have anything intelligent to say because im sorry but you're clinically braindead from sheer idiot media consumption

this is what happens when we fill up the earth with dumb trash garbage people, i suggest castration and lobotomy

One big issue is that a lot of games are made by the Japanese. While it is clear that Japan is regressive on social justice issues when compared to western nations, I think that outsiders should tread very carefully when criticizing a culture that is not their own. We shouldn't ask their cultural works to conform to our standards, and I don't that censoring them is the answer.

It’s not censoring them to ask for better characters, more diverse characters, and better representation. They are selling to a world wide market here, not just japan.

Their characters are good enough. It is western devs that should emulate Japanese devs characterization.

Thanks for the write up OP but tbh I'm not quite sure what your point is. Unless I'm not understanding something you don't really seem to be calling for any specific actions or positing any theory other than "making women into sexual objects is bad" and "female characters should have good writing, not bad writing."

I guess I'll just nod sagely.
