dead internet gippity bots would be an improvement over this whole sector of Internet 'cultural criticism'
The reactionaries are bored bc the new hades character designs look like the last one… I don’t believe any of these people are surprised by any of this lol
I'm not surprised that they don't like it, but some of the shit said in that thread is downright mind-boggling. Someone is arguing the quality of a design is determined by the amount of figurines sold of a given character. I wish phrenology was real because I desperately wish to study their brains
Yeah I’m not either I just don’t understand why they’re so in a tizzy about it this go round. Like was something else going on that was distracting them during the first game?
Bc the core “argument” (read:cover for racism) is that she doesn’t fit the traditional view of hestia… but like they completely reworked relations and had just as many distortions of tRaDiTIoNaL Greco-Roman myths in the first one
I honestly think one grifter content creator in that right wing space mustve made a grifty ass video and they’re just literally “virtue signaling” along with it. This “outrage” feels (even) more performative than their usual nonsense
And even the guys who go more mask off gooner and be like “but she’s not as hot as the jrpg loli!!” Or whatever it is… like your contention is there’s no hot people in hades? None? In hades…?
They're literally just mad at it because a Kotaku writer held up Hades 2 as "good horny" as compared to Stellar Blade.
but like they completely reworked relations and had just as many distortions of tRaDiTIoNaL Greco-Roman myths in the first one
No way Eurydice wasn't commonly represented as a Black-coded woman with an afro. No, no, no.
The new hades game dropped and gamers are made bc “putting dei woke characters in my white European culture myths!!”
They’re mostly mad bc hestia is a black woman and they keep comparing her to this Japanese waifu version of the character
ShowWhich is funny bc the American version tells you so much about who the character is and I honestly couldn’t pick this Japanese hestia out of a lineup of 20 other waifu characters
The anime she's from is trash too, mid at best
Why do all these losers have such terrible taste?
These people are the lowest common denominator.
It’s not their fault they are too morally, intellectually pathetic to resist such filth.
and yet the American version will be completely forgotten after a month. This one won't

Not a hot take here but I love the character design and art of Hades. It is far better than danmachi
Pretty sure people will know what Vitiligo is because of Michael Jackson and Uncle Ruckus claiming to have Re-Vitiligo
Hestia
Goddess of the Hearth
Skin is the color of ash and charcoal
Fuckin' woke ancient greeks.
Also, is she even supposed to have vitiligo? I kind of assumed she could look like whatever because she's a god.
How tf does this guy only know about vitiligo because of Hestia from Hades 2 and not because of the world famous musician who had vitiligo
