But the madness doesn’t stop there. From Gamergate to MRA’s to Donald Trump and 8chan – the common denominator is misogynistic rage. Women are not committing most acts of mass and individual violence, nor are women spouting out most hate speech and disgustive trash online or raping most college students. Rape remains a decidedly GamerGate domain.

Is it the fear that women’s rights means a loss of all video games and anime? That our society is favoriting the politically correct? Maybe, but maybe some male anger stems from good old-fashioned misogyny, which is then stoked by political, social and cultural forces that say there’s nothing lower in this world than a empowered women who dares fight against the patriarchy and misogyny. This harms our culture, so how dare they … well, anything. Or perhaps that anger at women comes from straight-up entitlement: GaffyGlibors who believe that women are meant to be there for them, whether it’s to play video games with them or talk to them, and that denying them access to that is an unthinkable affront.

But it’s no coincidence that the backlash happens most often when women’s rights gains grounds and when we start to change things for the better. Unfortunately, Male anger towards women isn’t going anywhere – if anything, it’s gaining steam. 8chan provides anonymity for men that want to say the things they no longer can in “real life”. Police and courts don’t believe and blame women for the violence done to them give men the impression their bad behavior is acceptable. Finally, the conservative movement that refuses to let go of traditional gender roles and teaches our children that being a man is synonymous with being “tough”, having guns and, yes, being violent.

What we need to do now is nuke Japan for their refusal to change their sexist industry. We need to take a good example from diverse companies like Marvel, Mozilla and Vox Media who refuse to listen to the disgusting racist myoginistic pissbaby whining that is the voice of 8chan and similar sites.

“The Smash Ballot was a mistake. King K Rool won the Ballot, but the Donkey Kong games are absolute pleb tier trash. Dixie is by far the worst waifu I’ve ever seen and they really hurt my hand to play. Other companies like ATLUS and Type Moon are setting the bar in video games. They give me purpose and don’t hurt my hand. We need to celebrate these characters in Smash Bros, not King K Rool.”

The Nintendo NX release of Super Smash Bros will abandon all of the Nintendo characters and replace them with tons of third party characters. Super Meat Boy, Marie, Shantae, Shovel Knight and Saber are some of the few third party characters announced to replace the current roster in both Super Smash Bros for WiiU and 3DS.

“No one wants Nintendo Characters other than a few spergs on message boards. We need to appeal to a wider demographic.” said famed Smash Brothers developer Masahiro Sakurai. “Super Smash Bros. is no longer about Nintendo, but rather the third parties that are around Nintendo. We need to adapt to the current market and stop making Super Smash Bros a franchise for Nintendo Fighters”

When asked about the inevitable backlash, Sakurai told us to look at his hands and and told us that gamers are responsible for this.

“Every night when I want try to read The Great Gatsby, there’s always some disgusting gamer asking me for Ridley or King K Rool in Smash Bros despite my hand problems.” said legendary amazing developer Masahiro Sakurai. “Gamers keep abusing and beating my hands, we need them to stop.”

Gamers need to realize that they’ve been slowly killing Masahiro Sakurai and have been torturing his hands. Please tweet at Masahiro Sakurai (@sora_sakurai) and let him know that you #StandWithHands

“We needed a young experienced developer who understands what’s acceptable, and what’s not in todays society.” said CEO of Konami; Takuya Kozuki. “We needed someone who was willing to create a faithful adaptation to the Metal Gear Solid franchise. It was clear from their masterful performance on DmC: Devil May Cry, That Ninja Theory is the best developer for this type of project.” Ninja Theory has also told us that Metal Gear Solid 6: From Two Phantoms will take place after MGS4 with Snake being much more refined in both design and how he acts.

Ninja Theory is determined to to put a more modern spin on Metal Gear Solid 6: From Two Phantoms, with proud ass kicking female companions and gameplay made more accessible.

The gameplay is a more realistic take on the Metal Gear Solid formula. Taking away such things as cardboard boxes and Cyborg Ninja’s and replacing them with a more intuitive and immersive mechanics for today’s common gamer. “No one wants this dumb shit anymore, they want characters that female gamers can relate too.” said Rahni Tucker. “We’re making Metal Gear Solid 6: From Two Phantoms for the players, not the gamers.” A bold move, but one worth taking.

“For all the praise we get, we do admit that DmC: Devil May Cry is by no means the perfect game.” said Tameem Antoniades; “Our female representation was laughable, so we’ve taken this serious feedback and used it to improve ourselves as game developers.” In the end it all boils down to NInja Theory’s creative eye – and looking at the results, I think it’s safe to say they’re doing a good job.
