Haha this is amazing. She must be a true collaborator to be able to be this blunt with her boss. Really looking forward to seeing what exactly ghost wire is.

Because it's used primarily by alt-right/GG figures, (and their i'm not racist BUT allies), to downplay ANY sort of discussion that points out problematic things. It's about as useful for discussion as calling someone an SJW.I once accused another member of virtue signaling and got a week ban before being called alt right scum, didn't realize that phrase had such a strong connotation.
She must be incredibly, incredibly good at her job. In most corporate cultures, but especially Japanese corporate culture, you do not undermine the boss in public like this unless you've got some fucking clout. What other games has she worked on? This week is the first time I've ever heard of her.
Nick Robinson and Aziz Ansari exist.It does. It's one of the right wing's favorite arrows to fire at progressives. They cynically believe it's not possible to be an ally to women or minorities without secretly trying to score sex or brownie points.
OR develop a cult following where she can do no wrong and ensure future success for herself!
Okami and Bayonetta.She must be incredibly, incredibly good at her job.

Exactly. It's just...weird. Male industry professionals almost never get this kind of attention heaped on them, it's almost exclusively centered around women.
I think we have an issue of polar extremes in this thread.
Either you're a fetishist who creeps on a woman because of her racial background or you're "just appreciating her for her charm and cuteness".
Okami and Bayonetta.
Has been appointed by Mikami in 2013 as one of three possible game directors to succeed him at Tango.
This game will be amazing, I'm feeling it.
It definitely escalated now. I guess I can't blame it considering the way it is framed with the title, honestly, as much as I understood the reference and that the inention is not out of malice.Yeah I think it might be best to just lock it at this point. I feel the discussion is just going to go even more toxic as it goes on. Shame because she deserves the attention/respect of the community for the amount of amazing projects she's worked on.
Amazing, Smasher. The game will be Amazing.Cool cool. She's been at this for a while, then. I hope the game turns out good. Bring on some gameplay, Tango! I have a lot of problems with TEW2 but I'm not willing to write them off as a studio yet.
I hate to point back at my post again but we had the exact same reaction to Unravel Dev when he came up and was nervous and with the reaction to Davide Soliani. It's also discounting a lot of female artists who have made art of her because they like her as well and/or look up to her.
I pretty much agree, it was not a good way to make my point, nor would I ever want to associate myself with alt-right imbeciles. It's better to make a clear and genuine argument than to stifle conversation by tossing out one-liners.Because it's used primarily by alt-right/GG figures, (and their i'm not racist BUT allies), to downplay ANY sort of discussion that points out problematic things.

Do you want me to have a problem with it even though the person themselves does not?
So I am not allowed to say, "Scarlet Johansson is pretty?"
But it's not like she gave some dry business presentation. Some of her mannerisms on stage were actually quite similar to a music idolI have absolutely no problem with female artists being inspired by her and wanting to pay tribute to someone they think is super awesome. That's great! I'm just always uncomfortable when a bunch of guys start falling over themselves and using words like "cute" to describe a working professional who's doing a really important job on a game like she's some kind of music video idol.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese corporate culture (I'm an expert), but undermining and clout are huge parts of it.She must be incredibly, incredibly good at her job.

There's a difference between her enjoying the fanart and you getting smug and repeatedly posting about how you can and should be able to talk about what you think of women's appearances.

Seems less like it's about "motives" to me and more about behaving in a way that won't alienate other people. The fan-art was appreciated by her, but you can definitely go overboard too.Keanu was charming and cute yesterday and so was she. I don't have any alternative motives. Sorry people
Okami, Bayo and Evil Within. Artist roles on all 3. She's creative director for Ghostwire.She must be incredibly, incredibly good at her job.

Ah, so just there for you to be passive aggressive. Got it.🆗
Remember that one e3 thread with the treehouse members playing BOTW and a bunch of dudes were falling over themselves to talk about her appearance and personality?
A: She's not a celebrity who regularly attends the red carpet
What's funny is that she was actually the first to do that during her Evil Within daysI should also note I find fan art of people who aren't characters to be weird anyway.

Yea ofc.I pretty much agree, it was not a good way to make my point, nor would I ever want to associate myself with alt-right imbeciles. It's better to make a clear and genuine argument than to stifle conversation by tossing out one-liners.
lmao amazing. Reminds me of when Shimomura roasted Nomura for wanting to make a musical game.
LMAOlmao amazing. Reminds me of when Shimomura roasted Nomura for wanting to make a musical game.
She's been somewhat known for a bit now, specifically from the The Evil Within franchise, because Mikami had been talking her up over the years as his successor of sorts. Interestingly she was originally slated to direct Evil Within 2, but it was given to someone else iirc. Presumably it was because she was getting to create this new IP instead.She must be incredibly, incredibly good at her job.

A: She's not a celebrity who regularly attends the red carpet
B: People did not draw a bazillion person fanart of Keanu in a moe-style
It's false-equivalence, baby.
This is so cool, I can't wait to see her have full creative control. Gonna be very special.
Nah.
The fact she is cute is a bonus, people already loved most of her designs and attitude and it's awesome that she gets to be director.
Also completely ignoring the fact that women loved her as much as the men if not more since is a clear inspiration for women working in the industry as you can see on twitter.
And ignoring the fact that she has no issue with what's going on, which is what matters really instead of how people feel like it's offensive.
Alright, I guess I misjudged that xdA: What does this have to do with anything?
B:
It was a joke, baby.
Bonus points: Keanu with the anime finger swirlA: What does this have to do with anything?
