Remove this sexist filth
Once again gamers show how disgusting they truly are. The type of bodies in this game are NOT ACHIEVABLE for modern day women and once again enforce unhealthy ideas of what a woman should be. The developers should be ashamed of themselves and I urge them to remove the game or change it for the better.

It's 2015 people, we need to MOVE FORWARD and stop body shaming girls with our media. Please be considerate.

So...the fact the game shows pretty much every male character (except possibly Uncle) as a dunderhead is perfectly fine?

Males arent in a position of opression in society. Female emancipation is an immediate problem.

Poe's law in full effect.

I suppose it's true the head-to-body ratio shown in this game would be difficult to achieve in real life. :(

Hey, you realised they are cartoons right? Do you take your life advice from a cartoon game? Please, it's just a game. There are a lot of disproportional males in the game and you don't hear me whining.

Don't you remember how thousands of little children died, because they hit each other with frying pans like Tom & Jerry? Or how they made their pets fight each other like in Pokemon? Horrible, horrible times. [/sarcasm]

you are absolutely right. So by your standards, we need to ban magic mike. The type of bodies in that movie are NOT ACHIEVABLE for modern day men and once again enforce unhealthy ideas of what a men should be.

you see what i did there? XD

What I find funny how is hypocritical stuff like this is where you can't have woman shown to be sexy in a game but it's OK to have all the guys show as dumb fat people since they're just guys. You can't shame one thing but allow another when they both do exactly the same thing.

Though you need to keep in mind this story tends to poke fun at a lot of things as well as being a cartoon.

The game itself pokes fun at these criticisms.

Bran-Son [naked except for fur underpants and a few metal straps]: "I'm a positive role model!"
Shantae: "I'm not, because of my outrageous outfit..."

Out of all games you target you target this one out of all. Not the outrageous dating sims out there. Get some fresh air dude and calm down. It's just a cartoon style game.

Well, I'm pretty sure he's just joking/trolling.

We should complain about him playing "Killing Floor 2", which makes everyone who plays it a mass murderer.

Yeah I play GTA, ever since god knows how long. Also I played Return to Castle Wolfenstien back when it came out. I was a kid playing that game. Am I crazy lunatic shooting everyone I see no. Now look at me, living the life playing Shantae for the gameplay, funny dialouge, and wonderful memorable characters. Not sex objects.

You probably get enough sexual stimulation from your other games, and thus, aren't even turned on by this. Sheltered men certainly can be, and I myself debate whether I should buy this sequal when the real reason I liked the first was Shantae is so darn cute... and sexy...

It's possible this guy is a kid(ish), and the first thing he sees is a cartoony version of DOAXBV. He may also come from a conservative family who is that weird type of conservative that value sexual decency and are less concerned with the impossibly silly forms of death possible in many games. Possibly even cuz the parent's don't even see it.

I understand why people react that way, and human sexuality is always a very moral issue, espeially because attraction exists in the eye of the beholder (generally, the man); which means most women have no idea what turns a man on and sometimes call things sexy or riske when they aren't really at all (and then ignore things that are OBVIOUSLY sexy). They (often mothers) draw lines at skirt lengths and neckline sizes, while fathers don't let their daughters outside in ANYTHING attractive, because they often feel the awkwardness of looking at their daughters and remembering when they were young, rowdy, and chasing anything with a pair of chest bumps.

This all leads to awkwardness, varying standards, extreme reactions, and even complete disregard of decency in some cases. In short, a complicated, sticky issue, and it cannot ever be completely resolved.




Or, this guy could just be trolling... Its hard to tell.

Never going to happen. Not with Shantae.

Oh, and you can be close to any body type you want as long as you actually TRY to work towards it. Gah, these obesity apologists are almost as bad as the civil rights profiteers like Anita sometimes.
