NEWS: Marvelous USA Considers Senran Kagura Burst's Digital Release

The best part is you actually believe you're on the opposing side, yet you don't realize you would still be thrown under a bus by them without a second thought on grounds of being a man.

The only reason Dragon's Crown got all that attention was because Jason Schreier whined about it a year after people had looked at the character design for the sorceress, went "wow, that's excessive" and then looked past it because it's a Vanillaware title. His reaction was unwarranted and, like the majority of Kotaku's articles, late.

This. The Dragon's Crown stuff has been available to see for years. It's only Kotaku's click-bait trolling article that gave it any attention from the social justice warriors. And let's be honest here, it's going to sell even more now that it got such controversy because that's how these things tend to end. By trying to fight against it, they effectively gave it more money.

The best part is you actually believe you're on the opposing side, yet you don't realize you would still be thrown under a bus by them without a second thought on grounds of being a man. And bisexuality is considered privileged, so I'm not sure why you brought that up as if it helps you any. It actually hurts you that you admitted to possessing that adaptive privilege which homosexual and straight people don't have.

Gotta love the USA, where pulling someone out of their car and splatting their brain matter on the asphalt with a 12-guage is just fine for video games... but ninjas in bikinis... that's where we draw the line!

This is representative of a tactic that i think is in some ways more pernicious than any alleged bad effect of sexism. This approach is mostly a matter of undermining the validity and legitimacy of the subject so that it can be contemptuously dismissed. It tries to remove the possibility of discussing the subject and demeans those who try to raise it using largely irrelevant points while keeping anything specific comfortingly out of sight and mind. Instead of, "this feminist argument is wrong," it's, "SHUT UP!" and I think that's worse, because it denies it even a place at the table.

What in the actual F**K!?

In a way this is just an extension of the same tactic as above. Now it's about defining one's opposition youself in a rhetorically and pyschologically convenient way with only self-servingly selective or no regard for what they really believe.

You can't even seem to conceive that there's something real motivating this. It's like you're so locked into your own perspective and desires that you have to shut any threat to them or capacity to recognize that threat down. Try reading [url=/]Everyday Sexism[/url] for a little and to consider that there's at least a genuine motivation for all of this, not just some antagonistic power game.

An ironic form of allegory, to be sure. This distinguishing remark made upon the, dare I evoke such a trite and insipid cliche, forgive my brashness, fairer gender, is astounding how much the ruffians in this communicative community of constitutions is flabbergasting. To attribute these falsifications onto an unimaginable boogeymen clique such as radical feminists who I said do not exist in this planar realm despite previous postings to this communicative forum had myself admitting that such persons do exist in this planet. To not be outraged at the mere sight of the feminine body like these oppressive troglodytes suggests they are no more than mere cur scurrying about in their own delusions and primitiveness. Such phallic imagery must be present in their vicinity at all times, lest they become less than primordial beings. These individuals of names such as configspace, TitanXL, and Polycell do nothing more than spread their caustic and acidic bile with every mere glance towards the outstanding vicinity.

Indubitably. While I, a bisexual male, that is to say, one who can find both genders, not sexes, because sexes is a discriminatory category sent upon us by the patriarchy, am freely able to partake in a social outing with a female companion and appear straight to the onlookers and escape their ridicule, does not indicate I possess any sort of privilege that homosexual individuals who are quite easily identifiable by the same gender partner they are in public with and can easily be identified and ridiculedd. To assert that I am at any stage higher of the social meter because of this is quite frankly appalling and distressing, to be sure. I am most certainly just as downtrodden and have a omnipresent clairvoyant view of this issue that these entitled folk simply do not comprehend.

Women can't be objectified but men can? That doesn't make sense at all.

Game looks like trash either way. Why waste your time bringing out crap? Anyone who wants this should just import it.

And while the usual "US loves violence yet sex is not ok" argument has been dropped, I just find it funny it's being dropped in for a game like this. This isn't a game were sex or just females in general are treated in a respectable and mature matter. This is a game where young looking girls(or they even above the age of 13? oh I'm sure their bio claims they are) transform and make their already gigantic bouncy boobs even more gigantic and their ass transforms into something that should appear to be twirking at the local Hot rod show. It's a little much and it's pretty embarrassing that this is whats made.

I'm annoyed of the women in games argument as well and don't mind some fanservice, but come on this is a bit too much. "Oh it's supposed to be over the top". Oh I'm sure it is, but there's a point where this just becomes disgusting and all there is, the only thing left is the "objectification of women". And you know what, that's not cool.

they are all in High school, so yes, they are all older than 13

It's a fan-service game I'm well aware of what it's doing with the boobs, tearing outfits, however I just don't care. It is a pure guilty pleasure title and those that play this know that. I'm not playing this game for it's ground breaking story, writing or character with decent personalities. I would solely play this game for what it is trashy fun with jiggly effects. If anyone has any objections to this then feel free to come at me.

Hilarity

Hey man, if that's what you like then more power to you. I don't think anyone should stop you from buying it.

I just think it's a pretty embarrassing game that's just another slap on the image of Japanese games and games in general.

I'll never understand why I see people who still want anime to be more mainstream in America. you'll just end up getting more BS drama like this attached to it.. we should be glad our hobby is out of the eyes of these radicals.
