Stellar Blade & Hades 2 cause Cancel Culture MELTDOWN + Dirty CENSORSHIP Attack EXPOSED 

So the people who said the devs of Stellar Blade were incels, pedophiles, unrealistic body standards etc; for Eve's design, are basically the same people that are currently thirsting over Hades 2 designs? Yikessss...🤮

Wokies see Aphrodite as female empowerment. They see Eve as something that makes men happy and, for Zeus' sake, we can't have men be happy when playing a game.

if this isn't asian racism I don't know what is

Also Bayonetta is not even a single mother wtf

Hating on stellar blade is like saying we should ban western games that promotes gun violence. Theres a lot.

The article I saw said Hades Aphrodite is a “t-girl” who was designed by a “t-girl”. So once again, as long as the character is gay, trans, or some other deviant sexuality, then the character is sexy and “empowering”. However, if the character is simply a sexy female designed for straight men, then it’s exploitative and wrong. Straight men have been vilified by the media for years, and now this sentiment is being pushed in an industry (video games) of which straight men comprise 80% of its customer base. We must speak with our wallets and show support to the devs deserving of it.

They praise sexual things as long as it's WESTERN (Cyberpunk,BG3,and now Hades 2) but this one is suddenly "offensive" because it's traditionally attractive and happens to be KOREAN.

Weird that all the hate Eve is receiving is mostly from women

Aphrodite looks... weird...

Im a parent, but now im a virgin too, guess i gotta go get a dna test

The more they hate Stellar Blade, the more I support it. 🖕Wokeness

So she goes off about Eve being sexualized in a game, while she sexualizes and objectifies herself in real life. That is just insane!!!

It was always about the agenda and zero to do with attractiveness of characters. Shift Up devs told them to get bent and they’re salty.

So finding a body scanned character pretty is BAD, but lusting after a fat bloke in a wheelchair is GOOD? Gotcha. Stop the world, I want to get off 😂

These women don't have to enter the gaming industry if they are so offended.

Game Journalists shouldn't be able to write an article unless they have actually finished playing the demo of the game first. Just like how car journalists has to go to the expo, car manufacture and actually sit in a car before they do articles.

They cannot live in a world where people create and like different things. It's never about diversity, just control and more power to themselves. It always boils down to: My values good, your values bad. Even when, as you point out, they are thirsting for the very same thing.

Well they made Aphrodite a T, so now the cult can fawn over her guiltless.

13:33 "as long as a character brags about how sexy they are, that makes it okay?" By that logic it sounds like their ideal female character would go around behaving like a female Johnny Bravo.

I'm buying the one without a Adams apple

Aphrodite in the thumbnail looks 1000% better than the actual man faced version in game.

They talk shit and get hit with logic.

Aphrodite in mythology would drop all manner of horror on the world if anyone claims that they or someone else is even in the same league of beauty/sexiness as she is.

Whomever is shitting on Steller blade, send them a box of tissues, a photo of Eve and a note saying, go to town with a smiley lol.

These slacktivists side with Afrodite's design, because she looks androgynous (look at her jawline) and the God on wheelchair. Stellar Blade' EVE, since she's a more relistic character, her design and proportions make these people seethe, because she goes against their toxic concepr of body positivity. The more unrealistic (androgynous Afrodite) the better for them, that way it doesn't trigger their insecurities, unlike a realistic beauty like EVE.

As soon as 11pm on Thursday hits I'm hoping my ass on Stellar Blade.

Bro the title and thumbnail made me think this was an Endymion video

they are a bunch of weirdos

8:30 This part especially bugs me. It's a common thene among them. They think a character's sexuality (and even gender identity) has to be their entire personality. If they don't wear it on their sleeve, the character is a sexual object or some such other BS thing they can think of to justify their hate. It's stupid.

This Stellar Blade Character is unobtainably gorgeous. Reeeeeeeee.

I can't wait until this weekend because I have work for Thursday and Friday. I think it's because eve is Asian while this character is non Asian. People called eve a child because they think she's created for lolicons and pedophiles.

with their world record level projection I think these people should work in cinema in a room where nobody hears them!

The hilarious thing about this entire situation is that by their own definition, you'd think these people would have the MOST problems with Aphrodite, how she's always been portrayed, and even what she stands for in general.

I always thought Bayonetta's clothes was her hair she was some kinda magical angel/ demon thing

When there is this kind of double standard, there is usually a monetary/ideological reason. I would look into Hades 2 ESG score.

I wish we could go back to the days when people didn't complain about having beautiful and attractive female characters

Great work keep it up 🚬😎👍 keep showing those receipts and how hypocritical they are bringing everything to light🕯️for everyone to see 🔍

hilarious how they use bayanetta as a proper example of sexiness...when they LITERALLY hated on her in the beginning too xD.

so she's saying the Korean model has no purpose in life or to exist because she attractive/Aasin? im latino an i find that pretty racist.

Wait, did I miss something? How does a Greek GOD wind up in a wheelchair? OHH, Ok, for politics. Gotcha.

I'm getting tired of these news. Like can't we just enjoy games like we did years ago? Everything needs to be political these days it's exhausting. I think we all want to escape the reality and immerse in a different world. I just want to enjoy the story and world.😩

bet the "journalists" who claim to be drooling over the character in the wheel chair wouldn't even give a dude the time of day if he is under 6 feet. no matter how many of her other boxes he manages to tick.

Whenever you wake up and think your life is a pointless cycle of going to work to pay your bills, remember: this woman gets paid to write these bullshit.

I wouldn't even consider buying hades 2 when it releases

IMO, they hate Eve (Asian), and love Aphrodite (Caucasian).

The reason she hates Stellar Blade @15:15 is because in the game...Eve is killing the only things which would be willing to have Sex with Alyssa Mercante.

An ex- where now tries to take some imaginary morale high road to schools the rest of us! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Aphrodite is a goddess. A female. Just clearing the air on that for a certain people.

i'm so sorry these people are from my country i'm so ashamed , we aren't all like this!!!!!

Why does Aphrodite have a man face?

Who thinks an overweight dude in a wheelchair is hot? It’s not even lore accurate to that Demi god 💀

They aren't gamers and neither are their defenders

Is it just me, or are the Hades women just NOT "hot"? The art style used isn't all that attractive, in my eyes; even with a more flattering style, I just don't find "fat woman in wheelchair" or "armoured-up warrior woman" attractive concepts *at all* compared to, say, "cute teen girl wearing a cute dress" (XC2's Mythra, Pokémon's Lillie, FE:3H's Lysithea, etc.), especially when that cute girl has traditionally-feminine traits, like kindness, gentleness, politeness, being calm and understanding and *not* violent bossy tomboys who get easily angered.

Why these two games can't just be in the same space happily is honestly beyond me.

God of War III's Aphrodite is the best ever

love how EA Japan is pissed off this is uncensored, while dead space was banned.

The only thing I'll give the one who said that Aphrodite is less sexualized than Eve is that nudity isn't *inherently* sexual; in fact throughout history & across *non* Abrahamic cultures the world over, it was seen as just the natural state, & it was *clothing* that was seen as sexual because it *highlighted* the wearers most attractive features (those features sometimes being the genitals), & created a sense of *mystery* around it by hiding at least a *bit* of it. But that's the *only* thing I'll give them because, & I'm honestly surprised you didn't mention this, they *masculinized* some of Aphrodites features in Hades II, which defeats her whole *purpose* because she's the Greek goddess of *feminine* sexuality. & seriously, I'm fuckin' *sick* of this bullshit idea that you need to *justify* having characters be sexy *because* it's bullshit; wanting to appreciate sexiness is literally human *nature* , so making a character, male or female sexy for no *other* reason than to wanna appreciate it is perfectly *valid* ! Also, why the fuck do characters have to go on & *on* about sex & sexiness for it to be acceptable?! There's both a fine line *&* a huge difference between shameless (which I agree we *should* be) & *tasteless* ; & characters going on & on about nothing *but* sex & sexiness is the *latter* . A character who can just *be* sexy unapologetically *without* constantly talking about it, that's *tasteful* ; but then again, maybe *that's* why Eve from Stellar Blade is unacceptable to them; because Eve's sexiness is done *tastefully* , something they can't appreciate because they don't have a sense of nuance. I'm *also* sick of their attempts to rewrite history & *gaslight* us; I remember wokes getting mad about Lara Croft, Bayonetta, & 2B myself, they aren't fooling me! & you're *right* , the women who actually *play* games *love* sexy female characters; in fact, the vast majority of videos I've seen pointing the *deliberate* uglification of female characters & the lies & hypocrisy surrounding it & voicing that they want *sexy* female characters are made by *women* ; as are a lot of the sexy female characters *themselves* ! Yet these jealous jokes are *lying* about the implications of sexy female characters to get them *removed* from games. They have the option to enjoy the fantasy of being sexy too, but instead they let their *jealousy* , which's what it's all *really* rooted in, even though they'll never admit it, rule them, & act to *deny* the women who *do* in fact wanna enjoy the fantasy the ability to; pretty *misogynist* if you ask me!

no publicity is bad publicity

and this is why i hate peoples

Stop giving Alysa attention. Its clear that she's writing this stuff to get traffic through kotaku or attention like this

The funny thing about her opinion on why Hades' hotness is ok is it's LITERAL objectification. "Instead it's like you're looking at statues or paintings of these gods and their eternal, infinite sexiness". So they aren't people in her eyes I guess. Just sexy objects for her to gawk at. Funny how that works. And I guess it works cause it feeds her domination "look but don't touch" fantasy. Also, she forgets that 2B also "doesn't know she's sexy" so it's weird she uses her as an example of good sexy. Also, I forgot how obvious it was when Anita never played the games she talked about. Bayonetta isn't a "single mom" but you only know that if you play the game. Or that her clothes are MADE OF HER HAIR and that's why she had to lose her clothes to use her hair.

For the record @12:30 Getting naked is a pre requisite in certain demon summoning/slaying rituals. So yeah...it's a thing.

people need to stop paying attention to Kotaku let them fade out of existence.

people who hate this game are just insecure

The jiggle physics really fuck them up, huh? Lol

Its not really a war if one side can't fight

They are trying to compare a game nobody has heard or care about to the most preordered game right now. Pathetic

Mercunte: "Creepy incels for thee, but not for me."

Eve is waifu material And Someone who can back us up in a fight just like 00s 10s pre-2016 Lara Croft, Bayonetta

4 more daaaays!!!!

Aphrodite slept with multiple mortal and Gods. If you relate, that says a lot on you.

It's just the wolf adjusting it's sheepskin.

Woke journalist: Stellar blade killing woman Gamers: no it's not killing woman, a good game with a sexy and combative girl Woke journalist: Hades 2 is good and diverse, women are all powerful Gamers: what's your problem with sexy women? Stellar Blade: no but Hades 2: yes

16:29 .. if I remember right, the planet citizens refer to Eve as "Angel" and "Angel of the Colony" so it seems like her looks might have a purpose. It's idiotic how Alyssa says Aphrodite's whole point is to be hot, so it's good and Eve's whole point is to be hot (for dudes) so it's bad.

I really was gonna buy hades 2, but if I take what she said at face value I think I won't. I really don't like when games get over hornified, if something, it's the same reason I didn't even try the last BG...

She probably meant their designs are alike to old sexy statues. Which kindof disregards Eve from being art, which is factually untrue anyhow.

They just found out that kids are much more attracted to sexy female characters than the average adult men :)

Why can’t game developers offer an additional setting like brightness, accessibility or difficulty where gamers can choose the level of „diversity“ they prefer during gameplay? 😅

Lmfao mommy is now used in the same lewd context as daddy💀

Does Alyssa know that people are allowed to be hot without it being their entire personality? Like she's basically saying that it is fine to objectify Aphrodite because she's the Goddess of Beauty. While I agree it would be weird for her not to be attractive to a lot of people, she does not need to be Aphrodite to have the privilege. Likewise Eve does not have to be constantly embracing her attractiveness to be an example of "the good kind of hot." The bit about Eve being male gaze bait is also silly. I find her design to be extremely attractive and non-problematic and I'm a bisexual woman.

I was cringing at all the sections of the article you read man. What the hell is wrong with these journos?

Aneta she is completely useless I wouldn’t even higher her as a chocolate fire guard

I wouldn't even trust these game journalists to talk about 8 bit games.😊

I think it's more just Aphrodite is not motion captured from an actual Female Body which depicts an actual standard of beauty. While Eve from Stellar Blade is played by a model who is motion captured, with a standard of beauty a lot of western Women are too lazy to try and achieve. So they are okay with the not real ladies since, they aren't an actual real beauty standard, so it's essentially not spitting in their face and ideology of how beauty should be. While Stellar Blade, shows off a beautiful Model who works for her figure, instead of just stating you are beautiful for "who you are" kind of crap.

i guess its all becuase aphrodites is a goddess of corn and they also have to advocate with corn

"First the positive things about the game: She's a single mother, and..." Why is it that when you have depictions of a single father - or father figure - with a motherless child (Road to Perdition, Lone Wolf and Cub, The Mandalorian) it is seen as a lonely burden, but when you have Bayonetta as a single mother, WHEE! It's all fun and games? If that's the way the game is written, so be it, but it's very telling that Anita Sarkeesian (or whoever that fool is) would celebrate the absence of a father figure. Did she HAVE a father in her life, or does she see men as nothing more than spunk donors?

I'm done with the industry at-large unless it's any game that's been peer-reviewed to not have hypocrite bs. i.e. No more pre-ordering. I have my backlog, there's plenty of Japanese games (which localizers are coming for now) and I guess I'll be going back to Final Fantasy XIV. I don't need the latest and greatest entertainment to satisfy me, so if they're hell-bent on putting out intentionally-unsavory content, then it's their loss.

i wish people would not be offended by beauty

They can wine all the want, my wallet votes for Stellar Blade, and no journo failure can beat that vote in the eyes of the industry.

Aphrodite is the goddess of love

15:08 hol’ up pardner, Hwhat?!

Eve from stella blade is based on a real life female modle

God forbid a FICTIONAL CHARACTER is enjoyable for men to look at. If there's one thing we know, it's that "men being happy" is literally the worst thing that can possibly happen .

The hypocrisy is gonna make me not purchase hades 2. It’s a shame because I really like the first hades

Its official. Much like Hogwarts Legacy, the constant backlash has convinced me to get Stellar Blade, purely out of spite for these losers. If anything, the devs should thank them. The worse they try to make it look, the more appealing they make it look. They are the best advertising team they could ask for, and they don't have to pay them a single cent! Lol

So this is just personal for her, gamer jornalists

Has she not heard of rule 34 people will find a way to make em move and change the angles

she's obviously jealous that asian beauty standard gain more popularity among western gamers.

After seeing the tweets you showed,,, I feel bad for her dad…probably feels like a failure for bringing up a daughter like that or maybe he was absent which would explain a lot about Alyssa’s personality.

I dunno; if the people who hate fun like Hades II, then I don't think it'll be any good...
