If they're so annoyed with the role of "Princess" they should firebomb Bridal Shops. I guess somehow a bunch of guys in a country where sneaking into a woman's house naked is a <a href="http://www.japanfortheuninvited.com/articles/yobai-night-crawling.html">courtship ritual</a> taking inspiration from King Kong and making a video game out of it somehow is gonna tell us a lot about sexism in America. Apparently there has been <a href="http://www.feministfrequency.com/2012/06/harassment-misogyny-and-silencing-on-youtube/">harassment</a> which is odd given that the kickstarter was <a href="http://archive.foolz.us/v/thread/139813364/">posted</a> up on 4chan's /v/ long before it began to enjoy it's run away success. Sure you can look at it as some innocent trolling but given how quickly "cyber bullying" makes people whip out their wallets I almost wonder if they were banking on this. Jerry and I should declare ourselves pop culture critics and start up kick starter to make a series about gays in gaming! [quote]These messages and comments have included everything from the typical sandwich and kitchen “jokes” to threats of violence, death, sexual assault and rape. All that plus an organized attempt to report this project to Kickstarter and get it banned or defunded. Thankfully, Kickstarter has been very supportive in helping me deal with the harassment on their service. All my backers have also been amazingly encouraging over on the project page too![/quote] <img src="http://i.imgur.com/SjPJT.jpg"> Pop Cultural Critic is just code for "hack", if you want you can see another Pop Culture Critic Toure get roasted by Piers Morgan for his bullshit look at this youtube <a href="www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6Z0vBfu-Po">www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6Z0vBfu-Po</a>[/quote]
