NERD RAGE: Lightning and the Sexist Gamerdom

For those of you who don't know, in the new final fantasy game "Lightning Returns"....they're turning a pretty cool character into fanservice, why? ...just to do it
I read where the person(s) responsible for the game stated they're doing for no other reason, than to do it. Now you might think this happens all the time (which it does) and that it is no big deal (which it is a big deal)...but people are just being vindictive on anyone calling these developers out on being sexist.
So vindictive in fact, that angry joe has been receiving dozens of responses on twitter (almost every min.) calling him homosexual and stuff like that....WHY?!?!?!?!
I cannot believe that there are so many people calling him gay, all because he doesn't feel that making lightning's bust bigger, nor giving her nothing but blatant fanserivce outfits to show off the bigger bust is anything but stupid sexist marketing ploy...I remind you, the developers are doing this just to do it.



I am also reminded of that time that they covered up Powergirl's cleavage and gave Wonder Woman pants...oh the flame wars that occurred the moment anyone agreed with the change, or spoke out against those who didn't.  So it's not just gamerdom that is capable of this....so what does that say about "nerds" in general?

The time anyone speaks out on sexist stuff in comics, video games, etc....the internet explodes with slandering against the people who call out this kind of stuff. 

This is the typical thing that gets thrown around whenever someone speaks out on sexist stuff like this "Oh they only went up one cup size, chill out ya fag". People are far less forgiving to females on the internet about such things, usually falling her fat...a hater lesbian....etc etc etc.



I'm not even sure what I could possibly say at this point...there is almost no point, because no matter how many people speak out against sexist fanservice for no reason than to do it....there will a majority of people who either don't care or think you're just hating. It's enough to make you go red lantern over this, and I kinda wish my red lantern ring was real at a time like this.

Probably only a matter of time before I get flooded with the hater tweets and whatnot because I agree with people like Angry Joe on this matter.
