近年政治正確的色彩逐漸影響娛樂產業,遊戲業自然也不例外,而近日國外有一名鼓吹政治正確的網友的言論意外引起騷動。
一切起源於 X(舊稱推特)使用者 LearningTheLaw(@Mangalawyer),他是一名厭惡激進女性主義、不喜歡政治正確元素充斥於遊戲產業的宅宅。近日他發文表示「美感大於現實」並放上一張圖片作為註解,卻吸引另一名網友 The Diceman(@Cambergh02C)轉推,稱「色情成癮者絕對不可能成為遊戲開發者」。

The Diceman 的言論意外引起數百萬人圍觀,許多人不禁表示他應該看看《尼爾:自動人形》、《柏德之門 3》、《快打旋風》等遊戲。The Diceman 的言論似乎意指遊戲不應該沾染色情,不過網友也向他表示就連強調政治正確的《最後生還者 2》裡面都有一段艾比的床戲。

不過也有網友表示 The Diceman 不完全是錯的,畢竟所謂「色情成癮者」應該每天忙著處理自己的癮頭,才沒有空開發遊戲呢。
Your right. In fact, addicts really don't do much because they are too busy with an addiction. Now porn enthusiasts on the other hand, they make great games. pic.twitter.com/9ULQm4GUHL

也有部份 LGBT 擁護者指出,現在的媒體文化的過度修正現象確實存在,一名角色如果具備傳統上的吸引力並不會令人反感;不斷的審查這些「粉絲福利」不應該是結局,讓角色變得更男性化也像是矯枉過正和女性恐懼症。
Not a porn addict. Also, I hate the right wing backlash that generally happens on posts like this. I’m pro lgbtq. Not a guy. But if I may, there does seem to be an over corrective culture that is happening in media. Having conventionally attractive characters is not offensive.

There has to be a way to keep everyone happy. Give people OPTIONS. Don’t censor the fanservicy fits, but give subdued options for those that want it. And give male characters fanservicy outfits too. Making characters more butch/ just feels like overcorrection and femme phobia

近年部份遊戲傾向政治正確大多引起議論,例如《地平線 黎明時分》主角亞蘿伊到了二代《地平線 西域禁地》整個臉部故意被畫腫就遭到玩家批評;《最後生還者》系列女主角艾莉在二代突然加上女同性戀的設定,二代的新角色艾比也刻劃得令部份玩家無法滿意。不過,第一人稱大逃殺射擊遊戲《Apex 英雄》的角色設計也是完全的政治正確路線,卻較少在玩家社群中引起爭議。
雖然歐美強調政治正確,不過亞洲廠商似乎不為所動,例如韓國發行商 Shift Up 即將於六月推出的動作遊戲《劍星》便以模特兒申才恩合作並採用她的身體建模,近日即將發售的《Final Fantasy VII Rebirth》蒂法的性感身材也掀起玩家暴動。雖然 The Diceman 和 LearningTheLaw 兩位網友的言論皆僅代表一角,但看來類似議題還會在持續好幾年。
There are two types of companies for you to choose in 2024:

The companies who create fun, deliver, and listen to the real fans.
The companies that censor, lecture, and listen to people who would not buy their products anyway pic.twitter.com/guMvnPMAsZ
