Yep. Will buy it too just to see how this feminist person pissed
I'm not boycotting Stellar Blade when many of these same people were cheering and celebrating a $3 trillion company buying arguably the most toxic 3P publisher in the industry with grifting and bogus talking points, to then immediately fire almost 2,000 people including many from the toxic 3P publisher they just purchased (who very likely were not among the people contributing to said toxicity).
Nah, I'm tired of the selective boycotts, you know the kind. If I like a game, I'll check it out.

Digital for me AND not waiting for a sale or for it to show up on PS Plus. DAY ONE.I’m buying a physical and a digital copy to support the devs
Like, I don't condone any mistreatment of employees based on gender, ethnicity, creed or stuff like that, obviously. If those problems exist, they need to be looked into and fixed as soon as possible.
But I'm also not going to ignore work I'm otherwise interested in because of those issues, otherwise I'd have to be fair and do it with all instances. Meaning most likely, I'd have to ignore ALL work because chances are something's involved in the BTS of any work's creation that could be considered slightly offensive to some group. I mean, that's only fair if we're talking about equality here, right?
That's not what it's really about for people who selectively say "boycott this!" but then completely ignore similar or worst things with certain much bigger companies or projects, because they have some type of vested interest in them (credibility, monetary, career-wise, etc.). Nah, they can miss me with that.

It's pretty obvious that they're just latching onto this controversy as a smokescreen for their crusade against all things PlayStation.
This is all so stupid. There were post on ree that said to boycott the game for its visuals... it's a bloody fantasy game
let them boycott because their boycott did wonders for Hogwarts Legacy
I'm not sure of their status, but private companies also have shareholders.
Lol yeah, I guess that's another way to look at it. Anyway, SHIFT-UP earned a buy from me after that.
I'm absolutely a feminist and I say we need more sexy women in games. I will be buying this.
Feminism doesn't mean people need to be prudes, somewhere along the way people started mistaking unrealistic beauty standards being somewhat harmful in real life to "no media should ever have good looking people" - games are frickin fiction and an escape from reality
Ah, this means Im gonna buy a physical copy while in Japan. Fuck these loons.It's actually much worse lol
Former Stellar Blade Dev Calls For Boycott, Dev Linked To Misandric Group
A former developer at SHIFT-UP has claimed that she was forced out of the studio due to her being a feminist and has taken to Twitter to ask for people to boycott Stellar Blade. The developer …brotaku.net
They should go give that same energy to the music industry who sexualise women all the time.
But there small brains cant do real rebelion, only what they are told they should fight.

Women like sexy characters. Look at all the cosplay and what sells on instagram. Women are taking pictures with their own cameras and putting it out there.

A little anecdotal, but I remember playing Saints Row 3 with a friend of mine. Her character bore a marked resemblance to Bayonetta. She used her own characteristics (long, black hair - for example) and upped the sexiness to 11. The idea that a few extremists speak for women on Twitter is completely off-base. I hope this game does exceptionally well and that message starts to get through to game companies. Very few of your paying customers have an issue with sexy characters, so stop listening to the tiny amount of people on social media who do.
