"This is what rape culture looks like in gaming: the use of misogyny to defend yourself against the accusation of misogyny."
QFT.
As an addendum to this, the recent interview with the executive producer of the upcoming Tomb Raider should be a LOUD WARNING that people should stay far, FAR away from this game. Enemies trying to rape Lara, saying that the male gamer will feel a “need to protect her” (since she clearly can’t do anything herself 9_9 ) and constantly “building her up and just when she gets confident, breaking her down again.”
I’m not going to support these assholes and their torture porn game and neither should anyone else. If you want an awesome female lead, I’m guessing Assassin’s Creed: Liberation will be your better bet.
