Castlevania Lord of Shadow 2's (not) rape allusion controversy

How else do you think the Castlevania reboot is gonna make Alucard? They must ruin ALL the characters, all of them I tell you! This is what reboots are for!

I guess that the person writing the article has never seen any movie about Dracula especially the Gary Oldman one.

he kills the father
lel whatever

drinks the mothers blood
RAPE RAPE RAPE THIS IS LITERALLY RAPE

God, gaming journalism is nothing but a joke now and articles/sites like these are the reason why you cant use "gaming" and "journalism" in same sentence seriously anymore. There isn't enough space on internet to properly convey how much i despise this shit. The disingenuousness. The victim complexes. The self-righteousness. The agendas. It's rotten to the core. The fact that anyone listens to these people for even a second is disgusting. Acknowledging these people's horrible opinions gives them hits and validates their creation

also trigger warning omg

I'm with Xarabas on this one. How is killing the father, which is a smart move since he is more likely to try to kill you, and then drinking the blood of the mother rape? I swear to god people need a swift kick in the ass sometimes. I would suggest removing whatever stick lies wedged up their ass but they would probably scream rape at me

I'm a girl and I think the guy was overreacting. Doesn't sound anything like rape to me. If he had his vampy wang out, maybe a different story. I'd be willing to bet the idea of rape being alluded to in that scene didn't even occur to whoever wrote it. Just another case of people trying to draw meaning that isn't there, reading too far into things.

Clearly this must be the first R-rated material she's ever seen. I'm just seriously confused how drinking blood could be associated with allusions of rape.

I bet he drinks the blood of his father off screen. Does that mean he raped his dad too?

Read it. I think her problem with this game is that is isn't about sparkling teenagers getting their girlfriend pregnant, but about old men going into young female virgins room to drink their blood.

I'd agree, except I actually read the article.

As someone said before... probably strong imagination/overreacting.

In another note

"'This is not going to be a Twilight Vampire or a True Blood Vampire. This is going to be a vampire who is gritty, who does evil; you know, coming back to what vampires used to be -- scary, evil. "

YES! FINALLY! YES!!!! O/

Ratings exist for people who are easily offended... My first instinct was to try to explain how absurd this is. On second thought, enough said.

So... feminist extremist ignored murder then assumes something that happens to a woman will clearly be rape. Sounds like the typical day in the mind of a crazy feminist. What annoys me is that these websites are even humouring these morons.

The preview I read had no mention of rape. It also explained how originally the character attacked and sucked all three people's blood in first person, but Konami asked the devs to make the little girl die off-screen.

Also, this is a game about a vampire.

Eye of the beholder?

Holy smokes if everybody reasons like that then what will we be playing soon ?

So is there a video or anything of the scene in question? Reading the article with the writer's extremely vague description of the scene just leaves me thinking the writer is one of those people that trivializes rape by throwing allegations at things that make no sense.

Every video I can find on the matter is just a discussion on the matter.

and what if the story contains rape?
...killing is ok,rape is not?

rape is help to make a story and some character more darker, if this is the cause rape is a good dramaturge tool.

Let me RAPE you. It actually means "I'm commenting to your post", but why not call it RAPE too? You can call anything RAPE just like this fucktard of journalist, right? So, I'm RAPING you right now.

Sensationalized news stories = ad revenue = news that isn't news but simply talking points to incite heated opinions = what the fuck is wrong with us. Yay, chase that dollar

Every day i lose a little more of hope for humanity. The hyper-sensibility is as bad as the absence of it.
