#TittyGate
. . .
Gaming is big. Like… really big.
So big, in fact, that it makes more revenue than any other media. The only thing that technically comes close is television, and it’s all because they get to charge you for the product while getting money from sponsors at the same time.
Shows charge you $90 a month and make 30% of their airtime as commercial slots, and that’s fine.
A game charges $60 and puts Monster energy drinks here and there, and that’s something to make fun of.
But this isn’t about the double standards of how they make money. Instead, this is about a different kind of double standard. One that’s much more dangerous and far more destructive.
I have to admit, I’m not very observant with things. Which is weird because I tend to notice things other people done. For instance, I noticed Mortal Kombat was doing something different when it went from the reboot to X. Not just the fact that it went from technically what was 1 to a letter, and then now it’s an 11. What were they doing, trying to copy Rambo? Is the next one going to be Mortal Kombat First Blood part 2?
To get to the point, the difference was in the women. The women changed completely. I didn’t see it as much. I had other games change how their women changed plenty of times. Final Fantasy X had Yuna very busty, then made her flat as a board in X-2. Xenosaga had Shion pretty busty in the first one, then made her more skinny and flat in the second one. I’m sure even Max Payne had his titties rearranged from sequel to sequel, but in the third one, he gained some boobage from all that estrogen in the beer he was downing and being around Brazilians.
I get it. It’s normal to change how characters look, and especially if the engine is updated or changed. But now, we have a completely different problem. They aren’t changing how women look due to technical aspects. Now, they’re changing how they look on “ethical” aspects.
Jump forward to the year 2015. metal Gear Solid 5 came out and it was a great hit for being a shitty game where it wastes your time on purpose. This game had a character called Quiet, and if you didn’t know, she had big tits and didn’t wear much clothing. Her best quality was being a woman who knew how to keep her trap shut, and I loved her for it. She was a selling point of the game, because without her, I wouldn’t really care what was happening most of the time.
Jump a little more into 2017, and we have a game called Neir: Automata where the main female is an android with a big honking ass and it’s almost fully exposed at all times.
These games are worth buying, and these games cater to what I would call “real gamers”. They are big games that aim to please their audience and they made sure that bodies look better as their engines are upgraded. There’s zero technical difficulty for them to make women and men look good. Beautiful characters are important for people who play to get inspired, draw them out, cosplay as them. Make a sex doll of them. The sky is the limit!
It’s all fictional. There’s zero reason for anyone to believe that fiction should copy reality. Especially when the fiction involves parasitic snipers who can use photosynthesis like a plant and android women on a made up planet. Yet, something happened in the good year of 2019 where we entered what I like to call “full retard-ville”.
Now, what I’m going to talk about is a little difficult, because back then I had a twitter. I was banned from twitter. It was bound to happen. But before I got banned, I noticed a lot of people talking about Final Fantasy 7 being remade. Listen, that game is the first Final Fantasy I played. It was one of my favorite games. It’s a game that literally changed the world of gaming by going against the standard. They had guns and swords in the same fights, and the swords were stronger than the guns. That was some real shit!
I saw some gameplay, I came in my pants, I prayed that the won’t mess up the game, and thankfully they stayed pretty true to what we enjoyed. I don’t know what the menus and items are exactly like while writing this, and I don’t know if it’ll be boring like Kingdom Hearts 3 was, but I had high hopes for it. Even now that the game is out, I am not disappointed with its release.
Sadly, this is where the butterflies die and we talk about the bad part of the hype.
While people were sharing the game, I kept seeing Tifa being mentioned. It’s no surprise, she’s the main girl that everyone likes to remember because she has big fat titties and is a strong woman who can hold a fight with her bare hands. She’s a strong, independent Asian woman who's beautiful like a JAV goddess. She pleases both men and women equally, and she can even make a dude plowing her while she takes a shit sound hot when she was in Cloud Mows the Lawn (which I hope becomes DLC).
Tifa is important to Final Fantasy 7, and Square Enix in general. She’s a symbol of what a fantasy woman is. Beautiful, dangerous, a simple outfit anyone can crop together for a cosplay. She’s big in stats and inventory, she’s more about plot than backstory, if you know what I mean. She’s the direction fantasy needs to go towards.
When a company is going to spend more, they need to appeal to more people.
It’s fiction. It’s fantasy. It’s what people want to buy and it’s what inspires a lot of artists to go ahead and do their own thing. I want people to be inspired, especially when it comes down to things involving women. I don’t want more women in the industry, please don’t think I would wish that. I want more women making porn about fantasy characters, mostly Japanese women.
Every fantasy game needs a porn parody. I’m looking at you too, Ni no Kuni.
So what exactly is this all about? Where is the danger? What’s the damage? Why am so focused on a #tittygate?
Here’s the deal: women (and males) were praising the decision of making Tifa wear a sports bra.
This little instance is what sparked the hashtag of #tittygate. Tifa… had to wear a sports bra. She had to condense her sweater puppies like sardines in a sock.
I know what some of you are thinking: “really Erwin? You’re going to make a big deal about something so small? Chill out man, smoke some weed and drink some vape juice. Let’s all enjoy ourselves.”
How can I enjoy myself when I have to be told that a woman with big tits in a fantasy video game is unethical? HOW?!
That’s the thing that really bugs me about it. We can’t even have fantasy be fantasy anymore? People are allowed to praise such a small thing, but I am not allowed to counter it with “it’s fantasy”. That’s the thing that gets me fired up. Boob physics don’t have to be realistic in a fantasy. Breast size doesn’t have to be realistic in a fantasy. Fighting ability doesn’t have to be realistic in a fantasy.
This is a game world where a skinny dude with an oversized sword has to fight a giant robot scorpion, and he wins. There’s a black guy with a gun for an arm and he never even tries to rob someone. There’s a tranny with an alien for a mother. The planet itself can summon multiple Godzillas in order to fight off a meteor. You enter a bathtub full of gay buff dudes in order to dress up as a girl in order to sneak into a drug lord’s compound. Nothing in this world HAS to make sense.
And yet, women (and fucking males, seriously) think that Tifa needs to keep her tits restricted in order to fight. Not just that, but they praise the idea of her tits being smaller.
Big tits, small tits, they are the same thing. Just imagine if we had to say smaller balls on a dude’s rig was a good thing. Just imagine that. Or smaller muscles. Her tits are already a realistic size, yet women keep comparing her to the meme of that overly buff teenager dude.
That’s not a comparison. That’s gaslighting, and I expect that from women. I don’t expect it from males. I have to keep saying males instead of men due to the fact that there’s no way in hell a real man would say smaller tits on a video game character is a good thing.
Ivy, my Soul calibur queen who I would run my nuts against a mile of broken glass in order to hear her fart through a walkie-talkie, is bigger than Tifa in the titty department. They are fighters. They have six-packs. And most importantly: THEY ARE FANTASY CHARACTERS!
I don’t mean to scream and freak out, but this is some other worldly nonsense that I would have never imagined in my life we would be dealing with. Imagine being so brain-washed that you need someone to tell you that a fictional character is fictional. Honest question: why do liberals these days think a fictional character is a real person?
It sounds dumb, doesn’t it? Like, something nobody should ever believe. No adult should believe such a thing. Yet, it’s this weird situation where women claim Jesus is fake so nothing he said matters, while a woman who’s fictional is representing all women.
This is the shit women do! I swear, women will find any way to make a double standard as long as they can look like a damn victim in a situation that doesn’t even involve them.
“You look at fictional tits instead of my saggy and deflated retard tits. I’m a victim now.” You’re not a victim, sweetheart. You’re simply retarded and ugly. That’s it. It’s that simple. Retarded, fat, ugly, whiny, most likely Jewish. I can go on and on with the problems these people have. But I shouldn't have to suffer and go through more hoops as a creator, all because someone feels inadequate from their lack of effort to look like a human.
I wanted this to be more formal and go through the stages of why #tittygate is more than simply about titties, but I fear that it’s pretty much going to be all about ugly ass bitches complaining about beautiful women in fiction, and then dirty ass white knights going ahead and saying beauty in fiction is “unethical”.
This is how angry I am about the situation. Months ago, a dude who worked as a social marketer, or something like that, told me “we win, you lose, there’s nothing you can do about it.”
Just think of having a child, and someone else tells you they are going to force your child to be ugly, that they can’t be as beautiful as they should be, and there’s nothing they can do about it. We create children, we create fiction, we as the creators should have the choice of doing what we want to create, as long as… you know, it’s all legal and shit.
My question was so simple and they couldn’t answer it: what is ethical about forcing a creator to change their work for something that isn’t against any rules?
No fucking answer, months later. It will be a million years later and those cunts and cucks will still try to gaslight instead of answer the simple question. I know it feels like I’m making a big deal about a small group of twitter degenerates, but this situation is real.
Final Fantasy 7 is a big ass game. There’s hundreds of millions of dollars at stake. That amount of money, with that much influence, and they are going to tell other companies that as long as they let an unethical ethics department take over, that they will be fine too.
I don’t want fine. I want creative freedom. Final Fantasy 7 was designed on creative freedom. It became a big deal because of freedom. Now, I’m being told that the freedom doesn’t matter in the remake. The money is more important. Getting new fans are more important. It’s better for them to cater to an audience that will eat them alive the second they do something that’s not liberal or alphabet-people enough.
I hope the game and its next installment sells well, and I hope Square Enix continues making great games. But the direction they’ve headed since, no joke, Final Fantasy 12, like 14 years ago, has been a shitty direction.
Japan is better than this. The guys behind the games know better. They are amazing at making games. It’s the globalization that is destroying them. Having to cater to stupid ass American audiences is what is killing the gaming industry AND the anime industry.
The anime industry is already hurting. Companies lose more money than what they make. Seasons come and go to the point where they can only risk a big series if the anime is based off of a video game already (or in modern cases, Mobile games). There’s videos all over the place where people complain about fan service in anime. Men especially are complaining.
Why? What is the complaint? I’m watching an anime about girls pushing their butts into each other, and here they come to complain that it has too much sexuality. Oh, I’m sorry, I thought this was supposed to be Citizen Kane level shit. Fan service is fine as long as it doesn’t interrupt the flow, just how jokes are fine as long as they don’t ruin good moments.
But these idiots don’t even know what fan service is anymore. Big boobs aren’t fan service. The “boing” sound when they run is funny as hell. It’s an anime. It’s not serious shit. It’s melodrama, not real drama.
People who complain about this basic bitch shit is why we can’t have nice things.
I swear, this problem is all over the place. Anime, games, movies, comics. Japanese people don’t care about feminism. They are herbivore men. They are dedicated to their work and they know what they are doing. But then we have these (god it makes me want to vomit when I say it) women in power who took control of departments that they really should NOT be in charge of. Star Wars, Disney, Bioware, Netherrealms, all of these stupid companies have women higher ups that complain about not having enough female fans, and so they think they should aim towards the women who have nothing better to do with their time than to play games and watch movies.
Like, really, think if it: these companies are aiming at women who don’t have social lives or who stay at home all day. Or better yet, they are dating men who are that very thing. This is a disastrous situation that is much bigger than Tifa’s titties, which is mostly why I had so much trouble getting this article out when I planned it months ago(almost a fucking year ago, actually).
I wanted it to be a little bit of complaining at a time, a nice flow of examples and reasons why #tittygate should be a thing, something normal and easy to digest. But after realizing what the main issue is, I couldn’t help myself and I had to rant like this.
Tittygate is about men being weak and women being evil. It’s a part of MGTOW, and I’m not ashamed to say that. Men have to man up and reject this stupid nonsense. Some people can’t be saved; there’s a lot of soy boys out there who try to white knight in order to imagine as if white knighting for a woman will instantly give them pussy points. But what we can do is wake up as fans and creators in order to rebel against this feminist trash.
I’m totally fine with women being in the industry, don’t let my MGTOW personality or my previous statement of “I don’t want more women in the industry” make you think differently.
Maybe I should say it clearly: Women can be in the industry, as workers, but there doesn’t need to be more and they shouldn’t be leading anything. If a woman has an idea, fine, she’s a creator, not a leader exactly. But women controlling men to become white knights and making unethical ethic departments and gaslighting the fans into thinking everything is fine. No. NEVER believe a woman when she says the word “fine.”
WHEN HAS ANYTHING GOOD COME FROM A WOMAN SAYING “FINE”?
NEVER!
It’s never happened, never will. And I will never let this event go. This changed me. Tifa’s tits woke me up to a big problem in the industry. It’s beyond main stream media. I take this kind of thing to heart because it’s infecting the indie side of media as well.
I want people to be indie. I want media to be about the creators, not about the money. I want fans to get what they like and I want creators to give fans what they want to give. Why is this so hard to have?
I’ll tell you why. It’s because of crazy ugly women wanting power that they couldn’t get with their bodies, so they use weak desperate men to give them the power. Understand that. The people who aren’t even going to buy the product have zero power over the seller, UNLESS the seller gives them the power. Weak men are not good sellers.
This is what weak men do: they GIVE AWAY their power, and most of the time they PAY to give up their power, then they don’t want anything in return. They feel good after giving up their labor, their time, their effort, their money, their dignitary, their fucking soul, all so they can think a woman might like them, and they will never even meet the person.
That’s the situation we’re in, and that’s what’s causing games, comics, and anime to change for the worst. Movies are not so much, that’s more of communist propaganda… no wait. Movies are changing for the worst too. Captain Marvel has a smaller ass than Spiderman. How is this equality?
I don’t really care for movies because that one is fucking obvious and it involves real people, so I understand when a character is ugly or not. They are real. However, for games, comics, and anime, there’s zero reason to enforce ugliness onto characters. They do not represent us, just how super heroes like Super Man don’t represent how a man is supposed to look. I don’t need to have big muscles and a swirl on my chin to feel like a man or to relate to something that guy is going through.
This is all because of people putting the physical element in the same box as the symbolic element. Physical appearance, symbolism, representation, fiction, reality, these are all different things. All we have to do is separate them in our heads, understand that fiction is not real, and… stop listening to ugly bitches complain about nothing.
I hope this gets through to a lot of people. This might or might not explain what #tittygate is all about. To summarize again, #tittygate is about media changing for the worst, and in the name of people(who don’t even buy the product) pushing creators to do things they don’t normally want to do. It usually involves fictional women, mostly ones with sexy thicc bodies, who are(might I add) still rather realistic.
Has anyone seen the real life version of Chun Li?
Yeah, if a woman can look like that in real life, I have zero problem with Tifa having a body like Kaho Shibuya, who is pretty much like the average Tifa cosplayer.
