“Free DOM” . . I’m still laughing~ LOL

Why is it always the female character’s fault when the male character’s behavior can’t be the normal when they are around? what if one of them guys swings that way? what if they are too pure to be affected? what if they prefer little girls? What if she was married to their bestfriend?

We’ve actually seen even less of Star Fox than we did of Zelda, to the point that I worry we’re going to get another delay announcement. Maybe not, but if so I’d have next to no reason to turn on my Wii U aside from the occasional bout of online Smash 4.

Xenoblade looks impressive, but I didn’t really care for the mechanics of the first one.

It is very silly, and the sjw journalism is almost becoming click bait at this point. If your sole purpose as a journalist is “But…but…what about us girls?”, you have a problem. Nobody was complaining about a female Mario option in the 80’s, but now it seems like an impotent rally cry to get hits on an article. Every goddamned game franchise is now under fire because we don’t have a character a Lindy West type can get behind. If they don’t seem to remember, FF13 and its sequels had female main protagonists, and characters, so maybe these sjw need to lay off the legal weed and check their history. FFXV is sure to have female characters in it anyways. No need to align your cycles over the fact that that a woman isn’t whipping out magic swords and hitting wild animals in order to fix the car. That doesn’t sound like something women would do anyways. It’s immersion breaking! Haha

There's actually something to be said for Tabata's reasoning, as you point out. If the point of the narrative is to involve the player in the hidden sanctum of filial brotherhood, that cannot be done with a bunch of women in the party. Not every story needs to be about how a precisely sexually balanced and ethnically diverse party overcomes social injustices to inaugurate a progressive new future of critically absent thought-policing. Do you know--there are other stories to be told. Not every story needs to have some kind of diversity moral. Hell, for some stories, a diversity moral is a distraction or entirely opposed to what the narrative is trying to convey. But these whinging windbags are utterly opposed to art, of which they have only the most blinkered view. For them, it is just a tool for propaganda. The idea that it might be the artist's expression of a story is utterly incomprehensible to the philistine defenders of sjw-moral puritanism.
