A Jimquisition episode I was wondering whether or not reference here for some time now.

Will Jim’s search for a female video game protagonist who doesn’t fit the narrow criteria of gendered double standards be fruitful?

I feel the “she must be pretty” is the first step that leads to the slippery slope of over-sexualization and ends with polished gold battle thongs.  It skews priorities from word go and immediately wipes out countless options before they can even be considered.

Ugh.  Where to begin?

Koihime Enbu is a fighting game based off of a visual novel series, and by god it shows.  Aggressively generic designs left and right, same faced loli versions of historical figures like Saber was going out of style…

I wish this was an outlier

So… we should be legitimately scared that Sakura Fantasy will expand out into other genres.  Presumably with the whole hearted support of those who want to decide what “is and is not a game”.

A few words regarding the crucial difference between censorship and the creators consciously choosing to edit their content.

I dedicate this post to every salty dudebro who had the gall to suggest that we at BABD want tostrangle creativity”, because heavens forbid anyone was openly critical of The Thing You Like and suggested it has problems!

Important quote from the video:

Or is it only censorship when it’s people who aren’t you, and don’t think like you, getting what they want for once instead of you?

Dear dudebros, please ask yourself the above question next time before you type a single word of a reply to us.

edit: “Thanks” to Tumblr’s absurdly broken video post feature, the video initially didn’t load. Fixed now.
