wooty hoo!
Jun. 7th, 2008 11:42 amSo it looks like the new DS Castlevania has a badass fighting femme protag. Unto this is say MWOO HAA HAA HAA YEAH BABY. I wish Shanoa has a whole shirt but I suspect there'll be significance to her tattoos or something so I'll leave off my 'but - backstab - dang' concerns for the time being. besides she looks speedy enough to avopid back attacks nine times out of ten, so. :3
I suspect there'll be some whining from ninnyhammers (when is there ever not) but I'll file that where it belongs. (FOR ME TO POOP ON!) Funnily enough, despite the retconning of Sonia (I'm sorry, Iga, but women did whip ass in historical contexts - Fa MuLan, the Celts, Anne Bonney and Mary Read, Grainne O'Malley...), Castlevania has a much better record of dealing with tough women than do a lot of games that come from the 'enlightened west' - Japan's no utopia of tolerance and equality by a long shot, but they at least realise that women (a) can kick ass, and (b) do have sex drives.
But anyway.
WARNING AHEAD OF TIME: if some snot-nosed little dimbulb decides it'd be oh-so-clever to get into accusations of misandry and shit up in my comments, I will take great pleasure in publically dressing 'em down and revealing them to be goddamned fools. I've explained MANY TIMES what I think of this society's crappy attitude toward women and men at length and if people are too cretinous to comprehend that I am fullstop anti-bigotry, they should GTFO. I do not suffer fools.
Okay. Now that that's done with on with the lunacy. CASTLEVANIA WOMEN wooo yeah. Here be spoilers. Proceed if ye dare.( om nom nom vampires )
