** Another went to Kotaku (the ones who started this whole mess) while many never liked it, the controversy they caused, resulted in people accusing them of finding and starting controversy solely to get more page views. {{Maddox}} added fuel to the fire by using the game to bash random indie game makers who happen to be female.

* BrokenBase: See also Internet Backdraft on this page. Anyone who likes, defends, and/or even doesn't mind the female character designs are stereotyped as [[FanDumb pathetic perverts that continue to support a heavily sexist industry that still caters to the]] LowestCommonDenominator and continues to devalue women. Anyone who dislikes or also holds a neutral opinion on the subject are accused of [[HateDumb being]] [[StrawFeminist radical feminists and prudes who froth at the mouth about anything vaguely sexual]] and [[WhiteKnighting self-hating white knights]] that damage the freedom of art design in video games. The game has nearly become a LoveItOrHateIt title ''solely'' due to the art direction of the player characters.
** {{Jimquisition}} takes an interesting position on this subject; Jim Sterling says that while he personally does not like the female character designs(with the exception of the Elf), he points out the big problem of both sides being so caught up with fighting and arguing with each other and that they need to stop so that people can have actual civil discussions between the exchange of ideas, understanding, compromising, and learning, which in turn can help the gaming community improve.
** {{Maddox}} also takes another, unconventional position - if gamers want to see less and less over-exaggerations and sexualization of females, gamers - especially female developers - need to get into the industry (Maddox points out there's a small, but growing amount of female developers in the games industry) and make their own games, so that non-sexualized females in games become the norm, ''not'' {{fanservice}}.

* InternetBackdraft: [[VanillaWare Vanillaware]]'s character designs have always include some fanservice, but the fact that it's more obvious this time[[hottip:*:due to the player characters, who are at the forefront of the advertisements, exhibiting most of the artist's... [[AuthorAppeal interests]] has caused the majority of gamers to argue about several topics regarding sexism and feminism in video games today. Needless to say, the gameplay and overall quality of the game itself isn't even a footnote in these debates, and bringing up the similarity of the exaggerated male character designs tends to just cause more backdraft.
