Dante is now a "sexual deviant"
I saw the new DMC trailer the other day, but I was with my male gaming friend and didn't feel like I could properly rant about it at the time, so here it is.
The new trailer has some kind of news announcer declaring Tameem Dante a "terrorist" and a "SEXUAL DEVIANT."
What the fuck does that mean?
Okay, so is new Dante some kind of rapist? Is he just a slut into some kinky shit, maybe leather and bondage (far removed from his new hipster costume afaic)? Does he engage in unprotected sex? Or is he just gay? Are we seriously going there? Is this offhanded comment from an asshole commentator part of the plot? Part of new Dante's character? Don't get me wrong, to label Dante as gay would be a whole new level of incredible, in a variety of ways, but it would be the stamp of death for an already controversial game. Or does it mean nothing? Is the game going to have some kind of over-arching morality police? Is there some kind of religious establishment in charge or among the enemies, tossing out stock accusations just for the sake of highlighting their villainy to the player? Or worse yet, is it only going to be brought up so that Dante can go out of his way to declare he's not an immoral sexual deviant?
Every news site that's posted the trailer has broadcasted the fact that Dante is now being described this way, but I can't find anywhere that's talking about what it actually means, or what it could mean for the game itself. Other than the fact that Dante flies around naked for a few seconds.
Capcom, I just....don't know anymore. What are you doing anymore. Seriously. What.
