A little crazy to me that people are more worried the incel game's good name (?) will be besmirched than they are about letting people affected by stuff like this be heard even in just some minor way. Guess that's the state the world is in right now, though.

Just run with Seoulsborne, EVE Offline or whichever the more popular neutral option was. All the polls have been tainted in both directions by off-site lurkers looking for a drama title on either side to milk when the OT goes up. Unless people want to try a third poll.

So let's just ignore the will of the people?

Translator: "What does more options even accomplish. It only confuses people and makes them pick the wrong option. We have a saying in Russia: it is better to have one good chicken than 6 rotten apples and I think that applies to any so called democratic vote. Do you think the Americans do it any different than us? Why do you think the 2 party system still exists. To keep out the rotten apples. Everybody understands this."

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

Yeah Eve Offline seems good. It's cute and an actual inside reference to the game.

Clicky, I know you must be sweating at a possible ban, but hold onto your damn convictions! YOU started this! It's only right to stay on the ship until the very end!

But it wasn't at first. Why even repost it when people can just post in this thread?

I assume it's because you're not the target of casual sexism.

This. Make an executive decision and choose a non confrontational option imo.

This. Pick a neutral title despite what the poll says since the chatter arpund the game will be toxic. We do not need to make it any worse.

Is Dice another trans member or is it a rare biological woman like Morrigan?

If they do that the thread will be even worse with the burka brigade bringing up how the polls twice called out the games sexism and the GAMERS decided to ignore their voice.  

[kaleidoscopium]

The conversation around this game is maybe one of the most bizarre I have seen about any game in this forum.

Watching the general tenor go from deserved side-eye to genuine stanning has been shocking…I'm thinking of that poster who was banned for unironically praising Eve's wonderful character and like…that's just the thread now, lol.

All the handwringing because an OT title that—rightfully!—calls out the sexualized character designs is winning a pointless poll is icing on the cake.

Just remake the poll, remove the "why women" option, and replace all other options with Big Sean lyrics to guarantee an ass-based title if that's so important.

Ridiculous stuff.

The gamers will tell them "The polls were rigged! It was posted elsewhere!" but the brigade will smile and say "So what?"

One of the rare real woman and with very arbitrary lines about what is okay and what isn't. Like complaining about xenoblade 2 designs and then buying amibos of said characters

Not seeing an option to view the Electoral College results, only popular vote.

Benji being the only vote for "Total Eclipse of the Ass" I bet.

All right, I recognize now what game you were playing 

Wins the poll twice and won't be chosen because people can't take an ounce of self-reflection. That's sad.

Well said. I don't really understand why this game deserves a safe space but the people who are made to feel uncomfortable by it don't. Like we'd rather quash dissenting voices than give up something as small as an OT title? Alright.

Hey now! Let's not give the credit to anyone but Clicky!

[kaleidoscopium]

I think it says a lot that aside from 'Why Women' leading the poll, the second highest option is 'Rear Automata' with more votes than the three actually clever and funny options ('EVE Offline', 'Not Quite Bayonetta but Nier Enough' and 'Seoulsborne') combined.

Yeah... It sort of gives you a peek behind the curtain at what's actually going on, behind the veneer of politeness.

Difference is, this thread talks about the criticism, SB deliberately embraces it. Where's the joke at that point? And is there really nothing else to say about the game that it has to go back to bewbs?

I get the difference but I guess I feel its kind of the elephant in the room regardlesss. (If i remember correctly the 'Rear Automata' hing was someone poking fun at the game after the first trailer.)

Chuds are going to always try to make criticism a badge of honor, even if the title is "Why women criticise sexualised character designs".

I think helping "Why women criticise sexualised character designs" win or having two polls thrown out will be the badge of honor here.

[books]

These fucking cowards refuse to say what they actually mean. People didn't vote like you because they diasgree with your psychotic takes. They think you're freaks. Jeez.

[benji]

Why would you even run a poll if you don't like one (or more) of the options?

[kaleidoscopium]

I just love seeing them tear each other apart, and of course defeating whatever polling security they think they will have

I think that Rear Automata is a little more effective at capturing the state of the discourse around it whether people are for the game essentially being boiled down to this, against the criticism, proud of it etc. The "Why women criticize..." title just feels more mocking to me than anything.
