View submission: R/Askmen discusses getting swarmed by women
I remember when she was the face of the sexualization and objectification of women in gaming.
Do people really not remember the discourse over the designs and writing of women in videogames? Duke Nukem? MK9? Even call of duty caught flack with Misty.

some of us ladies like Bayonetta, because she's sexy on her own terms and proud of it. the issue is when every single woman is expected to be goon material by default.
remember what happened to Gamers when the 14 year old in TLOU wasn't hot enough? or when they gave a woman peachfuzz... or a buzzcut and realistic features... gamers are quite deranged

I guess not all of us were chronically online and actually playing the games we bought? Idk I worked at GameStop at the time and didn’t hear anything negative about Bayonetta.
