The SJW backlash around Rising of the Shield Hero, Uzaki chan and Redo of Healer led me to check out these animes.
I ended up enjoying all three of these animes
Good names. Still haven't checked out Uzaki, but the recent recommendation of Dungeon Builder by Gerry Conway prompted this thread - https://www.sankakucomplex.com/2021/05/17/power-girl-co-creator-labels-manga-as-sexist-misogynistic/
The manga was decent, not earth shatteringly good but definitely not a bad read. Unlike modern comics.
It made me think about all of the stuff over the years they've been screeching about, and which names held up.
Replace Redo with Goblin Slayer and this is the same for me. For me personally, Redo is a bit of a line too far. Let it exist, I am absolutely not contesting that, but it is NOT my cup of tea in any way so I didnt watch it.
Although I will admit that I had a weird opposite reaction one, where the anti-SJW types complained about it but I dont think it deserved it. That being the game Hades, which is hands down on of my favorite games ever, but when I saw people complaining, having played the game myself it came off as massive amounts of nitpicking.
I haven’t played it, but if people are bitching about the homoerotic elements, well, that was just kind of common in Greek culture.
No, most of the bitching I saw was that Athena and Ares were black. Nevermind that none of the gods had natural skin color (Hades is red, Artemis is green, Poseidon is blue, etc), its not even a natural shade of black skin. Specifically, Athena is basically obsidian black (like the paintings on pots) and Ares is kind of an ash grey. There were also some complains that Aphrodite looked kind of masculine, but I honestly dont see it (some blocky-ness, but again its fitting with the overall game design).
Beyond that, I thought it played extremely well, the fact there was progression between runs is something I wish more roguelikes would do, and I actually LOVED the story of it. So I chalk it up to some people being too nitpicky because they have been hit so much they jump at every shadow.
I loved Hades. I have heard pretty much universal praise for that game.
When did the antisjw side attack the game? I just must have not seen it.
An interesting game in that style is Prey Mooncrash. It's probably more fun if you played the original Prey but the gameplay is totally different.
