Man it's times like these that make me bitterly wish my game got Kickstarted...for immature reasons perhaps. I wanted a heroine (Pyrella) to violently castrate a patriarchal cult in a fantastical prehistory. That was the subtext that drove me. I know violence against men is not the answer to the industry's systematic misogyny, but I sure had fun with that concept (I mean, they were corrupt and prejudiced dudes).

I've worked on a couple of AAA crapfests at WB/Snowblind Studios in the past. Watching this video, I could only think of the devs who actually model, texture and animate these virtual women, spend months coding this gross shit. The art director had a "rule" about minimum boob size for the character artists. Mind blowing. Now I'm long out of that rat race, much poorer, but glad to have left the infantile echo chamber behind me. They all suck. There is no chance for artistic growth of any kind. No culture beyond comics, sci-fi TV, anime, and other video games.

Ok, I just had to throw my indignation out there. Good work, Anita. Also Rei, I really like your writings about Kojima.
