SHIFT UP CEO Kim Hyung-tae has drawn attention after reposting a fan-made comic that pokes fun at online criticism surrounding Evie, the new protagonist of Stellar Blade: Blood Rain.
Fans recently noticed that SHIFT UP CEO Kim Hyung-tae reposted a comic on X that directly mocks critics who have argued that Evie looks too young despite the character being presented as an adult:
An English translation was provided by the artist as well:
Critics have argued that Evie’s youthful facial features are “problematic” given Stellar Blade’s reputation for attractive female character designs. Most have dismissed those concerns, pointing out that the character is portrayed as an adult and is fictional.
Kim’s decision to repost the comic is being interpreted by many fans as a sign that he is aware of the controversy and finds the criticism unconvincing. While the CEO did not add any additional commentary of his own, the repost alone was enough to spark further discussion throughout the Stellar Blade community.
I’m 100% gonna support this company!!!
Especially after this. Make more of these stuff and make fun of those leftards/woketards!!
The people screaming the loudest about this are usually fairly conservative, and I don’t mean on social media–the actual “activists” who do s♥♥t like create the Visa/Mastercard situation are almost uniformly conservative. The problem is on both sides, let’s not play it down.
No, just no. This is not a both sides problem, it never has been and never will be. This isn’t conservatives contacting Visa/Mastercard this is strictly a leftist cult problem. Stop lying.
Usually the both sides nonsense is pure cope, but in this case you’re both wrong. Visa/Mastercard is absolutely woketrash. However, even people like Asmongold are crashing out and calling Evie pdf bait and saying “she looks 12.” If you think this is “strictly a leftist cult problem” you’re retarded and don’t know anything about the American right. The puritan censorship of bible thumping conservatives on games, anime, etc have been an issue since the 90s. The only reason woketards are always involved in this nowadays is because they’re orders of magnitude more radical and have more institutional control, because dumbass wimpy conservatives watched in silence as they lost control in the 00s/10s and didn’t do s♥♥t about it until now. You actually think conservatives don’t also agree with censoring the evil unchristlike gooner game? The same conservatives that put into law to government ID you for access to anything 18+? Those 25 states that are almost entirely all red? You’re naive and clearly weren’t alive when conservatives controlled the media. They did the same exact bullshit when Mass Effect came out, and they still think violent video games cause gun violence.
If they could, they’d ban this game too. Gatekeep from everyone that attacks your hobbies, or f♥♥k off.
Ah, and to add–the puritan issues have been constant since the 60s, not just the 90s. The Satanic Panic over stuff like DnD, the “cartoons influence children”, the “comics are devil’s writings” and the like; Not everything got the same level of coverage, but where there’s a good time to be had, there’s a christian or conservative willing to s♥♥t on it.
So you expanded on what I said, which doesn’t actually invalidate what I said but softens the language around puritan conservative involvement… And with a tighter example of how arrogant it is to think it is that only one side of idiots can influence how this s♥♥t plays out.
Nice, respect.
Conservatives would never resort to such underhanded tactics? Really? Who’s been blocking payment processing for hentai sites?
After the commie/fags were destroyed when they attacked the first game, it was inevitable that they’d try to go after the sequel. If the protag didn’t look too young, she’d have been too white or too.. idk wealthy or something.
Those commie faggot woketards and Karens are just TOO HILARIOUSLY dumb and stupidly retarded to lear their lesson. Their massive emotional spagging out when the first Stellar Blade came out activated the Streisand Effect that led to the original game becoming popular and successful.
And I’m betting the same will be true for Stellar Blade: Blood Rain.
Destroyed like Iran’s military huh
At least the actual fans are supporting the devs in this mess.
We have to remember that for 99 percent, if not 100 percent, women are treated like children, or require parental authorization for everything, just like in Arab countries where, to leave the house, travel, or take a taxi, a woman must either be accompanied by her husband or have a signed authorization document from her husband. For them, all of this is considered an insult.
Western countries used to be fairly similar in this regard. Good old days and all that.
The only other time in history I recall women becoming equals to men was towards the end of ancient Rome, which decayed for about 300 years before falling apart.
My man.
