I got a question maybe someone can sort of give me some direction. When did this controversy start?
I mean this review comes out and then there's all this talk of controversy with the game. I went around and searched web using the words "Dragon's Crown" and "controversy". I came across sites that talked about the review and score gave by "Polygon", then there was Kotaku, some of these reviews are months old. Yet is there something that happened recently that had folks going back. I mean the game came out in Japan in July. How is it some controversy recently when they were talking about this months before. I feel I missed something because I never saw anyone going crazy about this prior to the game's release. |

Game's art has been out long before Kotaku flung it's poop around like an enraged baboon, but no one cared until one site make a big deal about it just like with Rapelay |

Ugh. Just sad of hearing how people see the sexual art as 'distasteful'. The first poster got it right. It just reeks of social justice bandwagoning.
NONE, absolutely, NONE of the images were distasteful in my opinion. Also, it's not like the main characters captures the girls and puts them in compromising positions. Hell, practically the MAJORITY of the people you need to save are men and even priests/mages/kings. Not to mention the art that pops up are not really that predominant. I just adored the over the top nature of the designs all around. I just love the bold design aspects. It certainly doesn't feel like the artist went out his way to offend or put forward some maligned message. Again, I echo the utter disgust people have in regard to this 'controvery'. Nontroversy is more like it. |

>I am blind and practically suffocating on my own privilege, therefore this thing that exists but whose existence would be detrimental to my enjoying of it obviously doesn't exist gaiz!

Sometimes I wonder if Chagen's just upset he was thrown out of the Patriarchy for failing to master the secret handshake.
Which is about how stupid this controversy is, really: the game isn't going to be starting any sea changes in how women are depicted anywhere, so really there's just room for reasonable people to disagree whether the art's distasteful or whether it even matters - none of which justifies any level of screaming. Lightning's boobjob is far more relevant to how women in games are handled. |

They don't let bisexual half-black men in in the first place. But I digress.
That isn't the point, the social conditioning factor is. |

You do know what the 9 year old story was about, right? Nobody was bullying the little girl, people are mad that the entire campaign was a scam. Not only is the girl's mother a millionaire, but she makes money off of pulling various other scams like this. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=528903 |

The image does point out it was a scam actually I think the point is there's a lot of people jumping in on this sexism in games bandwagon with less than honest intentions like scamming people out of money by using Kickstarter or just soapboxing some unrelated stance and using games as some scapegoat or platform. Take everything you see with a grain of salt I say

Yeah. Keep saying that. I'm supposed to be a type of person who is supposed to be offended but here I am, defending the art. I can't take anyone who just blusters out the 'PRIVILEGE' word seriously. Way to hem all opinions into tribal tripe. |
