This gen has brought on an incredible number of stupid CEs. This one might just be the worst. Usually, they just make you feel like a teen or kid with a toy video game statue in your man cave. This one is a little bit too "serial killer"

"wtf is that?"

"oh, my statute that came with the collector's edition of a video game."

"that's pretty messed up."

"Oh! hahaha, no, I see: you don't understand. It's a parody of the Venus de Milo."

"It's a dismembered torso with a pair of tits sticking out."

"Exactly. I put it on display to fulfill the goal of this artistic masterstroke: an ironic homage to dismembered and sexualized art that isn't meant to be ironic. The statue is meant to evoke a harsh reaction, which should be directed at the real hyper-misogynistic culprits."

"So I should be mad at the Venus de Milo, but not this thing on your shelf."

"It's a good thing I was here to redirect your misinterpretation of this subtly complex statue. Can I have a kiss?"

"For the last time, we're just friends."

Which is more repellent to a woman who has entered your apartment for the first time?

1. An anime figure of Magical Uguu Girl Noriko
2. Commissioned furry art of you as an anthropomorphic tiger fucking an ocelot or something
3. This

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #29 on:** January 15, 2013, 12:47:06 PM »

the first two are like "well, looks like he's got some weird fantasies and is sexually deviant."

the disembodied statue probably puts the words "serial killer, rapist" in the girl's mind first. The image isn't really associated with anything other than..."oh, it's a dead woman with a rack." rather than some odd sub-cultural fandom.

Look, I can kinda understand what they're going for here [you know, parody of the Venus Di Milo or whatever], but...SERIOUSLY? It's bad enough that someone thought this was a good idea, even worse is that there are probably people out there who will prominently display this in their "man cave" [aka the place where they take their victims for disposal].

Americans are offended by "clothed" tits yet embrace gun porn and pretty much manslaughter executions in TV shows and games.

I would think people would take offense to it being a bloody, nubile torso with its head and arms ripped off.

This is not that issue and those kinds of Americans are not posting on the Bore or even NeoGAF. Those types would call for a banning of the game (though GAF might have some "progressive" white-knights who would misguidedly say the statue has no right to exist.) Finding this statue disagreeable (not even offensive, it just has a lot of dumb angles going for it) is not some sign of prudishness.

I think it's funny how mainstream press hates games for their violence while the enthusiast press are busy decrying sexism for some reason. It's like the industry is trying to show some sort of maturity but isn't capable of eliminating violent conflict from itself so there's this effort towards misogyny instead?

Violence is easier to see from outside and easier to blame for instances of real-world violence, so outside critics go after that. Violence is more endemic to games and generally easier to accept within the community than issues of sexism. It's a lot easier to remove sexism without giving games an existential crisis than to remove violence.

Value judgements, like how much and which kinds of violence are okay, seem to be in roughly the same realm as discussions of sexism in games.

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #57 on:** January 16, 2013, 02:57:40 AM »

Violence is inherent in games.

Even Mario kills koopas.

The more realistic games get, the more apparent it gets. Nobody really cared about blood before MK and digitised fighters.
