Flinders University game design researcher, Dr Lauren Woolbright, says things have improved dramatically in the decade since Vanillaware’s 2013 game Dragon’s Crown, a game she calls “a poster child of bad female design”. 

Remembers the MASSIVE tits and thick thighs, it was so beautiful...

These people will be circlejerk praising themselves of how good gaming is now thanks to their character design.....then cry about everyone playing NIKKE and similar Asian games because they still know hot women sell better.

We're all fucked when it becomes culturally illegal to appeal to heterosexuals in Japan the way it is here.

Knowing their history, it wouldn't work like that

We're talking about a country that used tentacles and invented the ahego face to get around porn censorship. If the left tried to censor like they do in the west there, I feel like it'd be like opening the Ark in the Indiana Jones film of what they'd unleash to get around it..

That's still heterosexual, it's just weird.

The thing I don't get is why even refer to this game at all? This is not a popular game, or really even a successful game by any metric. It's also insanely stylized so even googling it will show you how the art is not meant or intended to be realistic in any way.

I know the answer is because it fits their narrative, but I just can't believe how disingenuous these retards always are.

If they remake Dragon’s Crown they should just turn the Sorceress into a male Canadian shop teacher.

The article is just normal leftist propaganda. What it was depressing was this part:

The majority of Australians – 87% – say diversity is important in video games, according to Bond University’s most recent survey of 1,219 households in 2023. Gender diversity was important for 77% of Australian players.

I dunno about that. No one ever checks sociology studies' numbers when they support academia's biases. Personally I remain skeptical that more than half the men in Australia are still going "yes please" to more diversity.

I have to believe that survey was a leftie audience or they have been brainwashed to worship at the altar of diversity

Hmmmm, I don't remember being part of that survey. Wonder where they found these cherry-picked households.

Only the most pozzed of suburbs located near universities probably.

Pretty much anywhere in inner Melbourne, I’d guess.

The question could very easily be, "do you like video games that have men and women in them?" and they get 87% "yes/don't care" and 13% "no (I don't like video games)" and then turn around and frame it as "everybody loves diversity!"

Daily reminder: everything they say is lies mixed up with a tiny bit of truth.

Or they asked "is diversity important in video games?" and 60% of people said "I don't know" because the question made no sense, and 35% of people said yes just because diversity = good.

They could have answered thinking "diversity" meant different types of games (FPS, RPG, etc) or that there's just a range of types characters (fit army man, fat man, etc)

Or just because they didn't want to sound like a "bad" person to the pollsters.

90% of the people who responded probably aren't even gamers.

One thing that pisses me off is 95% of people don’t even give thought to “Diversity good” beyond “This is correct opinion”. Nobody who takes the time to seriously consider the benefits of diversity actually believes that.

Yeah, very few people can even answer why or how "diversity is our a strength."

And if they do, it usually comes down to food trucks and cheap exploitative labor. "Well, if I had to pay, ew, white people to mow my lawn and clean my toilets, I'd have to pay more."

50/50 chance she's ambiguously brown.

60/40 chance, and of the 40 "white" is typically still tanned white.

Level up

Here I was hoping that the Law & Order episode would have meme'd that phrase away from urnalists.

From the context of that episode doesn't that mean games are being raped by diversity? Surprise Culturally Enriched?

“I call it the default man, where you get the white guy, chiselled jaw, a little bit of scruff […] It’s just cookie cutter, [there’s] so many of them. And it’s just boring.”

Of course she goes right to race.

I think this is one of those "delete the entire save folder to avoid a game destroying glitch later" issues

Keep letting them in. Embrace the acceleration of the absolute razing these big game companies are going to suffer in sales. Meanwhile, there's a lot of good indie and classic titles we can bunker down with until the hordes move on. Make gaming become niche and for nerds again.

Hire normies in media, get porridge products.

I hate the game dev scene in Australia, every event or convention is always so incredibly woke and the amount of trannies in the scene is disgusting, they're always so creepy. The big dev event after PAX each year even replaces the signs of gendered bathrooms with non-gendered ones but obviously you only ever have guys using the female toilets.

While you have some decent coworkers that just focus on working, the office gets filled with tumblrtards and activists, thank God I got out.
