Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 Western release canned over sexism concerns

[kupomogli]

I know for a fact that Dragon's Crown was attacked for this same issue and so is Senran Kagura. I mean I don't think Senran Kagura is a very good game in terms of being a fun fighting game but I actually saw professional reviews that knocked off points for it being sexist. Like, what? Not too sure about Hyperdimension Neptunia, I'm sure if pushed you'd just get more of the casual racism and cultural ignorance that this crowd seems to be infamous for. It's like how they say "lol these white nerd dudebros want every game to have porn in it" when they're these niche things that are like a Hooters restaurant: having this is the point.

Seriously. I've lost count of how many times they just lapse into bashing Japan and Japanese culture and implying that Western ideals are better. And here we have a living example of a Japanese company influenced by Japanese culture being afraid to make something because of extremist Westerners. Disgusting.

Dragon's Crown was attacked starting a few months prior to the release and more after it was released when it was found out that it was more than just the Sorceress and Amazon, but Senran Kagura, Hyperdimension Neptunia, Akiba's Trip, and others, didn't have news stories on a regular basis that were bashing the games. You may have seen some people complaining about it in the reviews, but it wasn't so bad to where they took to twitter and sent a bunch of hate mail to the developers then later reported it as news. You quoted one long section but I didn't mention Dragon's Crown as one of the games that wasn't, it was two sentences prior.
