But how else would someone let everyone else know that they're more woke than you are and everyone else are the ones who are wrong?

The fan arts is mostly from women and some are Asians and Nakamura likes them.
ERA:
It's extremely judgmental. Just let her live her life.
I guess adult women can't be cute and we should save that kind of language for 700 year old dragons that look ten years old.
The amount of times almost every day that I look at my 30 year old girlfriend and think how adorable or cute she is can not be counted
Adults can be cute. We are all just bigger children.
Your mistake was assuming the former was possible on ERA, where people try desperately hard to find the bad in everything
Also it's weird how this thread keeps calling out pervs/neckbeards when 3/4 of the pictures in the OP are fanart drawn by female artists...
Or that people are pretending Miyamoto, Kojima and Sakurai don't have fanart of them.
Yup. She was acting kind of infantile on stage too. I just chalked it up to Japanese culture of women acting child like which is beyond my comprehension.

You're cute.
What, because we are in a relationship?
Oh, didn't mean to suggest that you did. I just quoted you because I think the Tak comparison was on point.
Who in here is even attacking her? There's a valid discussion to be had about how people treat female devs and it's kind of uncomfortable that people are portraying anyone who thinks this is a tad weird as being "too woke" or "joyless chuds".
LmaoThe fan arts is mostly from women and some are Asians and Nakamura likes them.
ERA:
You're treating this NYT opinion piece as if it's some kind of profound truth, different people interpret their surroundings in different ways, the world isn't so simple that you can just label any situation a problem whenever you think it fits into some sort of negative pattern.
Of course she didn't and I have already seen tons of people recognizing her participation in games like TEW, Bayonetta and others on twitter.
The fact here is, her personality and charm shined through on that presentation, and that is what people stuck on to.
Absolutely disagree.
The reaction to Jade Raymond was far worse with no good intentions.
Your 30 year old girlfriend who you are in a relationship with is different from a working professional showing off her project.
It's funny how you not-so-covertly suggest I think the whole dragon thing is ok. Give me a break.
I think the whole "drawing fanart of devs" things is a little cringe but please, mostly of the people who make those(and for this person) are just your enthusiast tumblr/ twitter kids who mean no harm, not some creepy pervs. This,Yarny guy,Miyamoto,etc.
If you are so bothered by them go an confront those people on their twitters.

I can understand why some people would find the reception to her somewhat wearisome because of all the issues with how asian women are perceived/patronized in their line of work, but I also understand people finding her charismatic and charming and wanting to celebrate her in some way bc of it.
Also I know Era likes to treat borderline EVERYTHING as a mutually exclusive concept what with how often every objectification thread has at least one not very bright and/or disingenuous person bringing up video game violence. But her enjoying a lot of the (non creepy) fanart and this being yet another example of asian fetishism in the gaming community aren't mutually exclusive concepts. 👍
See the pictures are wholesome and it's great that she likes them.
But the internet has jaded me. I just hope this ain't all she gets known for. Or more specifically I hope her being cute ain't all people talk about her.
Both are people. Both can be cute.
It is not exclusive.
Unless i missed it and it's a PS4 exclusive, then sorry, my bad.
Now this is something I want to be very clear on - I get the concerns and that definitely shouldn't be done in a workplace where someone is trying to seriously display themselves or work professionally. Now taking that concern to this specific instance feels very out of place though, because of how she presented herself and in that, people felt uplifted and enjoyed her stage presence and some mannerisms she did display like exaggerated posing does evoke that sense. So why does such an important issue need to be placed here where Its just people admiring/appreciating someone who displayed herself very charismastically onstage (hope I'm able to get my point across).
The second thing is looking up the games that person has made, I really wouldn't say most would consider them GOATs in any sense, you might and that's fine feeling like a creator you enjoy deserves more recognition.
My 28 year old girlfriend hates being called cute.
it's as if people aren't monoliths lmao
Well, you're adorable. I just want to poke your nose and say "boop". Nothing weird though.
Oh ok. Sometimes I don't even know if I'm on point or not.
Being personable and charming during a public marketing performance is definitely something you need in a good leader though. So there's nothing wrong with this.
I brought it up because it's a pretty blatant example? Even if it's well intentioned.
Oh I don't consider her projects to be GOATs, that wasn't the point I was making.
I'll definitely be there day one, that trailer was AMAZING. And I'm usually not a huge fan of CGI trailers.
Super hyped to finally see her in a directorial role. A lot of folks were confused when Johanas became director instead of her, but as someone who LOVED The Evil WIthin 2, her debut being a brand new IP will be for the best, I think. Tango always did amazing visual design in their game, I can only imagine how cool a game directed by their lead artist can look.
I hope we get a bunch of interviews this week to get a feel for the game.
Awww, thank you.
I'm in a relationship though, so only once.
Even when some of the fanart comes from asian artists? I feel like there always has to be a problem with everything even when the rest of the internet only celebrates this as positive moment.
Amazing.The fan arts is mostly from women and some are Asians and Nakamura likes them.
ERA:
It's uncomfortable being portrayed as a horndog who doesn't respect her because I thought she was cute.

ERA:
We try way too hard to we woke. Even Dr. King would be all, "dudes chill! "
The reaction to her reminds me of the weird reaction to Marie Kondo
also reminds me of this article

A person acts cute and eccentric but if you admit you found them cute and eccentric you are a creep...
Some of these are......well.
This isnt the same Art director from The Evil Within is it?
I guess the presentation was endearing enough it spawned this "fan art".

This!!!! All of it seems harmless and fun after a serious conference.
