This is an insightful comment. Their subversions become status quo, to the point where a traditional product almost feels subversive.
Imagine a Star Wars movie in 2024 that features a straight white male protagonist who isn’t a morally gray anti-hero, isn’t surrounded by more competent female characters, and isn’t a spy-infused beta male weakling. The mainstream press would lose their minds over such a thing because it would be legitimately transgressive in this climate.
Its why something like Stellar Blade was even news worthy.
The PS2 had uncountable games just like it. I'm able to conjure "Red Ninja: End of Honor" from memory as a close to 1:1 copy across most categories. No one really cared about it other than "oh its a stealth action game but you are a woman, neat" and that was it.

Not just the mainstream press, also the normies.
I learned this when discussing the Mario movie on some normie YouTube channels and was disgusted to find so many normies hating on classic Mario games because they said they hated how "Peach was a damsel in distress" and they kept praising the movie for making her a boss babe. Even though in real life practically every woman is a damsel in distress who either needs a man to help her through life or the government because most can't take care of themselves or survive on their own. Yet now a basic biological fact is considered "sexist".

Or OneeChanbara, Iirc the general opinion about that game was that japan could be weird, it was a far cry from modern outrage

The left uses words like magic spells. Every "-ist" or "-aphobe" is just their way of conditioning people to deny reality.
