There are GAFers who seem more excited/hyped about Sony financial reports than actual Sony execs do. They live vicariously through this shit.

I'd bet money that pretty much every Sony/Nintenfo superfan on GAF spends way more time posting about said companies than actually playing their games. These dudes obsessively read into generic PR statements and act like they know what shit is like inside those companies.

Those NEO and NX speculation threads are ridiculous. Just complete fanboy delusion

This and monthly releases to where certain plot points get jettisoned out the window to have the writers fit their ideas within like 6 issues (when it seems like a 12 issue run) is why I don't buy comics and instead borrow them from the library.

Gravure models may be as young as pre-teen age up to early thirties. In addition to appearing in mainstream magazines, gravure idols often release their own professional photobooks and DVDs for their fans. Many popular female idols in Japan launched their careers by starting out as gravure idols.

I think the face saving reasoning here is that it's for teenage boys, but you know...

NeoGAF needs to get on Anthony Weiner's level:

Quote

Weiner told the woman he had dropped off the tyke “at grandpas after school,” but bellyached that the free baby-sitting “only bought me a couple of hours,” the screenshots show.

“Put him to work,” the buxom brunette suggested during their March 12, 2015, online chat.

Weiner, 51, then sent the 40-something divorcee a photo of his son sitting in a playground swing, smiling and holding a toy car in his hands.

“Already at work. Being a chick magnet,” he wrote.

I mean if you want to talk about how shitty those games are and how fucked up the culture of pedos who wrap themselves around them is then I'm right there with you. But that doesn't change the fact that the characters are not living beings and they're not being "harassed."

The harassment angle sounds to me more like deep level weeb white knighting for the purity of their virtual ladyfriends under the guise of social awareness.

VomKriege · « **Reply #25474 on:** August 31, 2016, 08:27:37 PM »

The Polygon article is a bit clumsy in its phrasing but it seems obvious to me that the issue brought forward is not really the prejudice to the virtual character but rather how the situation seems to be staged to cater to a slighty creepy "invisible perv" scenario ? Power & domination fantasies are common in porn and well... quite a lot of people, so it's not necessarily alarming and the sign of an impending VR fueled Rapocalypse, but in the current context of recent videogames and / or japanese mass culture production history, it's also not very encouraging either that the first implementation in a somewhat high profile title is going there.

(Arguably the thing is that playing sex doll with the models is probably the maximum that can be done at this point in terms of programming.)

EDIT : Square Enix on point with that marketing.
