Goddammit, I was interested in playing the Persona series up until I read this. Ugh. Unfortunate Implications, much? :/
It's disappointing how heterosexual male bigots ruin things for everyone else not like them.
Edit: Spoilers for Catherine in the comments. :o

Date: 2011-12-02 04:19 am (UTC)Most of the sexualization of Bayonetta is tongue-in-cheek. She's always making cheeky comments to her enemies and she thinks it's hilarious. They are not amused; in fact, they are very put out by it. She enjoys her body and she knows how to use it. I don't see what's wrong with that. She's confident and she uses her skills and her body as a weapon.
The authors of that blog accuse the creator of oversexualizing Bayonetta, yet there's this article talking about how the creator of Bayonetta is upset over character pornography, which makes me think he meant to create a sex positive and confident woman. Not a sex object.
