just to be clear
you guys are talking about the trailer that opens with Lara hanging in bondage upside down
and then she swings around to catch herself on fire
and then she falls like 20 feet
and lands on a big spike
and has to pull it out of her side as she screams
right?
Because come on, that is an absolutely ridiculous scene.
But that's only one part.
And, honestly, pulling a spike out of your side is badass, for those complaining she's not.
I mean, Walking Dead. Darryl falls on his own arrow and has to rip it out of his side. Did people go "OH GOD TORTURE PORN THIS IS RIDICULOUS."
No. They went "Badass."
The difference is that the trailers (there's more than one) show stuff like that happening constantly, it's not just one scene. And then we have comments by the developers here where the purpose is that they want the player to want to protect Lara and cuddle her or whatever.
I'm not knocking the devs or the overall narrative, but it's very easy to see how that sort of stuff can make people uncomfortable and upset them. Hell, watching all that stuff makes me feel uncomfortable. Call it "grit" or "realism" but I just think what they've shown seems excessive.
Plus do we really need another anti-feminist circlejerk thread on the internet? I mean really now.
