This is the song that doesn't end. It's been like 10 years and they're STILL complaining about video game boobs.

The Geena Davis Institute is cited as a source here too.
They released an report filled with some utterly insane stuff in 2021 that got a little bit of pushback online, but not much. Looks like the industry ate it up uncritically, sadly.

@CJFerguson1111 This Geena Davis stuff seems to have influenced multiple studios. Concerning.

Needless to say, this *heavily* cherry picks the science to push this Narrative.
Wait - they're coming for the HERO'S JOURNEY now? I wonder how that will work out?

@CJFerguson1111 This sort of cherry-picking is completely inexcusable, considering that things like this meta-analysis exists.

@CJFerguson1111 God, I just focused on this bit.
Citing Karen Dill (remember when GTA IV named a car after her to make fun of her)? And freaking Sarkeesian, again?
This sounds like 2012-era Tumblr.

@CJFerguson1111 Looks like they're still on "violent video games bad" too.
@CJFerguson1111 The "sexual violation" stuff is pretty self-explanatory, but what does "rewarding domination" mean? Beating up Ivy Valentine in Soul Calibur?
@CJFerguson1111 Further thought. Obviously, it has to be handled well for it to work (I mean, people still bring up RapeLay as an example of one of the worst things ever and that was 18 years ago now), but is this saying that SA should never be depicted in games?
