    They gave Jill a skort in the pre-order skin so you can’t upskirt her in crawling segments, also made Jill a bit more of an assertive character. Saw a lot of the whiny gamer bros calling her a “bitch” for that exchange early on where she shuts down Carlos’ flirting.

      Saw a lot of the whiny gamer bros calling her a “bitch” for that exchange early on where she shuts down Carlos’ flirting.

      Also, from some preview footage, for the crime of being rude in general to Carlos and Vladimir initially, two mercs working for the “We Love to Turn Children into Flesh-Eating Zombies for Giggles” Ltd.'s paramilitary.

      Damn, I wonder what’s her problem…

      Body type A and B, there’s a lot of transphobic gamer dudes who’ve locked onto it as an attempt to trans the kids or something. Also probably one of the ones malding about the whole Marika/Radagon thing (I’ve seen frothingfash call it “woke gender propaganda”).

          There’s a depressing amount of Golden Order supporters in certain Elden Ring fan sites, it gets especially bad around discussion about Ranni and Fia where it just devolves into these weird little incel screeds.

            Incidentally, Goldmask seeing the Golden Order is wrong and attempting to change it by wagging his finger at it works almost too well as a metaphor for libs 💀

      They added a general disclaimer that some dialogue is inappropriate for modern times and not representative of Capcom’s current values. Some examples, courtesy of the ESRB:

      The game contains some suggestive material in the dialogue (e.g., “Stop peeking! You Pervert”; "Her measurements are 33,22,33”; “You missed out on seeing [her] naked.”).

      There’s nothing visual going on, it’s just “spicy” dialogue, but I support their decision to add a disclaimer. But merely acknowledging this is too much for these people…
