So, they made Lara Croft look more like a real person. Woohoo! Progress!

But of course, like most clueless asshole types, they can’t think of a single way to inject some character development into her without attempted sexual violence, which apparently makes Lara “literally a cornered animal”. 

Fun. That doesn’t sound like fetishized sexual violence at all. It’s all for the story, man. It’s necessary. 

Of all of the things in all of the world the writers of the new Tomb Raider could not think of anything that can develop a woman’s character more than being made victim to attempted sexual violence by multiple “island scavengers”. 

Oh, and then there’s this gem of a quote from the article: “She literally goes from zero to hero… we’re sort of building her up and just when she gets confident, we break her down again.”

AWESOME! Let’s break down the woman character and then try to rape her! What is this, Tomb Raider snuff film edition? 

Oh, and here we go:

“The new Lara Croft isn’t just less battle-hardened; she’s less voluptuous. Gone are her ridiculous proportions and skimpy clothing. This Lara feels more human, more real. That’s intentional, Rosenberg says.”

Is it intentional? It wasn’t just a happy accident? Or maybe an unhappy one? You made a real, human woman character…on purpose? Oh man, you must be saints or something. 

I just cannot even with this. Every time I go into Gamestop and see Duke Nukem Forever on the shelf I get a little more tired of having gaming as a hobby but this kind of shit is just fucking ridiculous. This is what these assholes come up with when they think they’re doing decent personhood well. 

Just…ugh. Honestly I can’t even eloquently words about this I’m just a blind ball of angry.
