Gacha game for the female audience, Love and Deepspace, announces a character, Valko.
> Gets massive backlash because “He’s stealing attention from my man”.
> Character gets cancelled.
> Women do be crazy.
As I said before... the female fandom is far more toxic than any male fans of gacha or similar kinds of games or entertainment.
They were planning on releasing Valko, a muscular, rugged werewolf, but immediately met massive backlash when the female fans said it clashed with the existing aesthetic, with others calling it ugly.
The female fans were particularly upset that a new character would lead to further problems with the content for the existing characters, where their favorite character doesn't get the attention he 'deserves'... "Stealing resources from our real husbands"
Yeah... female fans have massively high and often delusional levels of emotional interest in their fictional characters. They become incredibly loyal to their "stan" of choice and see any development on other characters as a hostile act against them.
Then they dug up that April "World Depths" file with the A-0731 human experiment code, tying it to the Japanese atrocity of Unit 731, turning it into a full Chinese national trauma meltdown crashout.
They organized a massive protest against the company, and the company folded and cancelled development of Valko... and even worse, vowed never to create a new character again... and develop existing characters further.
Meanwhile, games like Nikke have 100+ characters, many with very surface-level interactions, and we don't care because men like variety and we aren't so delusional to think that these characters are really our wives. We often meme about waifus, goon, but never think past it that much, and care more about the collection than some kind of fictional emotional bond.
But for many of the female audience, they treat these characters as real fantasy romantic partners. A new one shows up, and they treat it as competition to their husbando, not something new to enjoy.
TLDR... women do be crazy!
Unreal Engine expert Masahiko Nakamura praised NTE's technical design.
→ He said giving every character unique exploration abilities is impressive because it's extremely difficult to implement.

@eggiekai I've been using mouse and keyboard on PCball along. Then I bought the controller just for the ZZZ, and I can never go back to M&K ever since.
I've also keep using controller on any newly release games. It feels intuitive, it's also good for the wrists and elbows.
@Conckreet As a native Chinese speaker I was baffled by her name at the first sight. Like the word Mi, is some of the most uncommon family name that is barely used during the ancient China. And I only know this from looking it up.
The West brainwashed people into thinking femininity and cuteness is wrong, just with games alone you can see the pattern but this applies to broader hobbies too
Cute things are now demonized in the west
