RPS: I have to add, though, that comics might not be the best point of reference for this sort of thing. I mean, it’s a medium that’s notorious – often in a not-good way – for sexing up female characters and putting them in some fairly gross situations.
Browder: We’re not running for President. We’re not sending a message. No one should look to our game for that.
RPS: But it’s not even about a message. The goal is to let people have fun in an environment where they can feel awesome without being weirded out or even objectified. This is a genre about empowerment. Why shouldn’t everyone feel empowered? That’s what it’s about at the end of the day: letting everyone have a fair chance to feel awesome.
Browder: Uh-huh. Cool. Totally.
LOL
'gross'
'problematic'
'creepy'
'inappropriate'
Who the hell even talks like this? RPS used to be my favorite site for news/info/etc on PC gaming, they truly have gone completely off the deep-end with this semi-recent obsession of there's about calling out every game they decide has "sexualized" female characters...
