Stellar Blade developers fired two feminists from their company, gamers rejoice

[Ebicentre]

Seoul-based developer Shift Up has been accused of firing two female employees over their feminist beliefs - but rather than the usual outcry, the response has been resoundingly positive from gamers.​

Shift Up is developing the PlayStation console-exclusive Stellar Blade (previously Project Eve), a Korean action game inspired by popular titles like Devil May Cry and Bayonetta. It received some backlash from leftists during its 2021 reveal - including from Eurogamer's Digital Foundry, where one of the members decried its character designs as 'being from 2002' and that 'we've moved on from that era' (video link, timestamp at 33:13) - but it seems their whining has accomplished nothing. The official Twitter account recently posted the below screenshot:

The Twitter thread from one of the employees in question is advocating for a boycott of the game and Shift Up - but it looks like gamers have a different idea. The thread has been swamped by numerous replies celebrating her termination, declaring their intentions to buy the game on day 1 and that she deserved to be fired. Other gamers who are still concerned about Sony's censorship policies have stated they'll buy the game if it comes to PC instead.

It boggles my mind that Sony gave the O.K. on Stellar Blade, seeing how their policies have transformed the entire gaming industry to move away from female fanservice. But I'll enjoy this moment while it lasts, and if it comes to PC I'll give it a shot.

Good riddance. Feminists and woke cultists have been doing this for decades in video games, pedowood etc, why shouldn't any good creator not do the same back to them?
Wonder if digital faggotry will complain about this after denigrating the game while praising forspoken cause it appeals to "modern audiences".

Let's be honest, faggots hate this because it has an attractive asian female as the protagonist, if it was some 56% niggress like forspoken, it would be praised as the best game of all time.

Good riddance, but i'll be carefull with the game itself. I love what devs did, and i like the design, but i'm not buying piece of shit game, just because devs fired cunts i dont like and just for the piece of ass on the cover.

Im always in favour of getting rid of feminists(specially korean ones, these are their own whole brand of psychos)

That said I am a little curious as to what was the reason behind their firing

My best guess is they espoused their politics too often and too aggressively, making them unpleasant to work with.

yea considering we are only getting her side of it I would not be shocked if there were other factors unrelated to feminism or they were being such obnoxious cunts they just had to let them go

it reminds me of that one SJW writer who was working on that now-shelved KOTOR reboot who got let go early on possibly due to the fact she just would not shut the fuck up about her feminist bullshit in the workplace. i dont recall if that was when she was on KOTOR reboot or some rachet and clank game where she went off about the female's boobs or some shit idfk

point is to keep your personal fucken politics to ya self and out of the workplace unless it's relevant. no one wants to hear about your bullshit just do ya fucken job

1. Holy FUCK she got ass
2. this is a step forward. Hopefully the gaymers will give them a chance, maybe it'll show it's worth (monetarily) it to not-be-woke, or even the community response being positive enough for others to take notice.

While I'm glad the cunts got removed for being obnoxious cunts. I think the greater question here how they got hired in the first place? I'm aware its probably harder to fish out obvious gender studies failures from the pile of resumes in Korea. Unlike in the West with most of them having the blue hair, problem glasses and retarded post histories on social media.

If you hire a blue haired cunt with the activist post history you know its gonna be trouble later on. Yeah i'm aware HRM departments are filled with genders studies failures, the recruitment pool is polluted with activist trash and the industry is filed with thirsty simps begging for a shot on that 2/10 pussy but goddamn put in some more effort of vetting new especially female employees.

So while we can applaud companies for kicking out feminists cunts lets not forget who hired them in the first place. Its like complimenting someone for doing a good job of cleaning his shoes after deliberately stepping in dog shit.

From the bitch's other tweets, she said the CEO of her company called her and told her to remove her stupid tweets. After that, her co-workers kept harassing/mocking her to the point she had to resign.

So it wasn't an actual firing. More like a social firing.

thats a very good point, and very eloquently said

In this case it was VA and a character illustrator, given the game's the company make, I'm guessing they didn't know both were feminists. Or the feminist's didn't know where they were applying.

Regardless it seems they were openly feminist after they got the job.

I doubt they would actually hire feminists if they were open about it given how quickly they got rid of the VA.

And how they choose not to use the illustrators art in the end.

I assume it could be as simple as hiring someone for English skills. Not many East Asians know/care about these social problems in the west (we got enough of our own, after all). So these companies could just be looking for some returnee with good English to deal with foreign partners, not realizing a woman who studied gender studies in America returning to Korea could bring back so much western baggage with her. Same probably go for any young person who's really good at English without ever leaving Asia. They're very influenced by Western/American culture. I got one of those in the family myself. It's kind of a challenge.

Anyway, i've been looking forward to this game for awhile. Hope they will announce the PC version soon. Not like you can trust Sony of all companies to NOT pull any shenanigan's with a fan service game like this.

Agreed. To me it's about character more than anything. I usually don't care what someone's beliefs are as long as they're not obnoxious about it. But when those beliefs start doing harm to the company or its workers, firing them is fair game.

Honestly a company that would ignore people sperging about politics would be a huge red flag. I don't care about being friends with my coworkers, but I certainly don't want them to be my enemies.

lets not forget who hired them

A good chunk of companies hire through third parties, so there is a chance some headhunter found them, said they fulfilled the requirements and they got hired because of that. It's not as easy to vet people this way.

After that, her co-workers kept harassing/mocking her to the point she had to resign.

Much better outcome. When firing you have to keep paying your employee for a amount of time (I know someone who got paid for 2 years after getting fired). When she resigns she gets nothing.

Other than that I will do it as I do with every game. No per-orders, wait for PC & user reviews and potentially play a "demo" first.

Either way, feminists being fired is a W in of and itself. No other reason needed.

New trailer just dropped.

I feel like the sexiness has been toned down a bit (compared to 1st pic in this thread) but maybe it's just the many new outfits?
I caught this little gem though, so maybe there's still some hope yet. Nevertheless, still PC or bust. Cuz fck Soyny.

 

[cris1010]

It's going to have A LOT of outfits.

 

[Zurathetix]

Looks decent. Stock outfit got toned down from initial project eve reveal, but industry is in such a draught that even the toned down outfit still look decent. Apparently shift up devs are big snoys lol. Would have tried it if it was on PC, no way I am gonna buy a ps5 just for this.
