Broadcast on:
13 Feb 2024

Some people are butthurt over Stellar Blade and the main protagonist’s backside. Despite the controversy, sales for the PS5 game have gone through the roof. It’s currently outpacing Final Fantasy VII Rebirth! This looks like another case of gamers supporting a game they’re told to boycott, like Hogwarts Legacy before it. ➡️ Tip Jar and Fan Support: http://ClownfishSupport.com ➡️ Official Merch Store: http://ShopClownfish.com ➡️ Official Website: http://ClownfishGaming.net Additional Context: In the world of video games, where controversy often leads to curiosity, "Stellar Blade" has become the latest spectacle. This PS5 exclusive has sparked quite the conversation due to its protagonist, Eve, and specifically, her appearance, which some critics have labeled oversexualized. This discourse has not deterred gamers; instead, it seems to have piqued interest even further. Much like the phenomena surrounding "Hogwarts Legacy," where calls for boycotts only fueled the game’s popularity, "Stellar Blade" has seen a surge in sales, even outpacing heavyweights like "Final Fantasy VII Rebirth." Eve’s character model is based on South Korean model Shin Jae-eun, with the game’s developers, Shift Up, using advanced three-dimensional scanning techniques to capture her likeness for the game​​. This dedication to realism has contributed to the game’s visual appeal, but it has also become a focal point for debate within the gaming community. Some players and critics argue that the game’s character design leans too heavily into fan service, overshadowing other aspects of the game, such as its combat system and art style. Despite this, others are eagerly anticipating the game, drawn by its gameplay, setting, and, yes, its character designs​​. This dichotomy reflects a broader conversation within the gaming industry about character representation, sexualization, and consumer response. It’s clear that while controversy can cast a shadow, it can also act as a spotlight, drawing attention and sales to titles that might otherwise have flown under the radar. "Stellar Blade" stands as a testament to the complex relationship between game design, societal norms, and market dynamics. As the dust settles, it will be interesting to see how this conversation evolves and what impact it might have on future game developments.
