@myranie54_23 @MinModulation Especially when from a pure consumer perspective that media's target demographic were statistically clearly aimed at those that would like those elements, yet a minority demanded changes anyway despite not being the core group, so it could be argued it's slightly more "entitled"

[Dark Intelligence @Dark_Intell]

@myranie54_23 @MinModulation Not every piece of media will have certain elements, nor do I personally want that, but activists campaigning to remove something is obviously going to spring counter activism to retain or bring it back. The former is as "entitled" as the latter

[Dark Intelligence @Dark_Intell]

@myranie54_23 @MinModulation So now positions they've literally taken in years of obnoxious media discourse are now "strawmen"? lol

Trying to conveniently ignore what they actually believe will not make it any less real

[Dark Intelligence @Dark_Intell]

@Lepoof007 @RespectElves Uh, tons of hardcore fans had problems with Persona 3 Reload lol

[Dark Intelligence @Dark_Intell]

@RykerBiohazard @LookAtMyMeat1 Less companies shelling out rehashes all the time? Sounds great. We do need more people like that.

[Dark Intelligence @Dark_Intell]

@thiccdotexe @ShitpostRock2 The issue is that ATLUS clearly panders to that mental illness. The previous remakes have shown this. Do not underestimate them.

[Dark Intelligence @Dark_Intell]

@myranie54_23 @MinModulation Hence a lot of counter narratives about "retaking back their sexuality" and "sexual empowerment" initiatives which are similarly sexualized but supposedly not for the "male gaze"

It's copium/nonsensical but this the angle they go with

[Dark Intelligence @Dark_Intell]

@myranie54_23 @MinModulation Both men and women want to be the ideal, including sexually

However it's always been conflicting for women due to the prevailing belief of theirs that sexualized content in media leads to further encouragement of sexual crimes due to "dehumanization"

This is basic stuff

[Dark Intelligence @Dark_Intell]

@myranie54_23 @MinModulation Sex appeal =/= porn.

Not everything with sex appeal is porn. That's a comically pseudo-conservative view.

[Dark Intelligence @Dark_Intell]

@myranie54_23 @MinModulation What is so difficult to understand that women find sexy to be empowerment but also believe it leads men to "objectify" women and they think this leads to increases in sexual crimes? Desexualization is an attempt at "crime prevention"

They are not mutually exclusive

[Dark Intelligence @Dark_Intell]

@myranie54_23 @MinModulation Feminist ideology is contradicting, yes.

They find empowerment is sex appeal but also degrade it when it if men like it, leading to conflicting views on the portrayal of female characters

It's why they sometimes try to imply the female character is LGBT to sidestep that issue

[Dark Intelligence @Dark_Intell]

@myranie54_23 @MinModulation It's why for a long time they attempted to push that Bayonetta was actually feminist.

[Dark Intelligence @Dark_Intell]

@myranie54_23 @MinModulation Women find value in being perceived at sexy. And women being the sexual selectors know that they have influence over men (why else do you think there are supposed sex strikes?). But it is at odds with modern feminist framing that objectified/sexualized media lead to crimes

[Dark Intelligence @Dark_Intell]

@myranie54_23 @MinModulation Eh, I've heard the opposite regarding TW3 Geralt (thought TW1 Geralt is very ugly)

I agree with Kratos though but I don't like the reboot anyway

[Dark Intelligence @Dark_Intell]

@myranie54_23 @MinModulation Speaking of entitlement, why did a hobby dominated (and still is dominated) by the male audience had to pander to the whims of the minor female audience?

[Dark Intelligence @Dark_Intell]

@myranie54_23 @MinModulation Male power fantasy distinction is always cope.

It always stems from not wanting to admit that women find power in being sexy and this can observed by every literal feminist talking point about "empowerment".

The only issues is always that men like it, so it's bad

[Dark Intelligence @Dark_Intell]

@FaekBot @ChristianHeiens Its the same song and dance every time

You're trying to pretend to be above it all when it's a feint, the real issue is that you're peeved that your ideological opponents are just doing the same thing you guys did. You lack self awareness

[Dark Intelligence @Dark_Intell]

@FaekBot @ChristianHeiens Both are fundamentally wrestling with the issue of fictional characters. Both campaigned to complain about fiction in order to exert influence. Both are not "real issues" in any sense of the imagination

You don't mind one over the other because you agree with it, that's it.
