I just realized something that makes me disappointed. I can understand Tengu not selling so they paste his moveset onto a new character. That new character should have been a dude. I'd even take a girly man if that would sell better. Tengu had a more imposing, masculine style to him that may or may not look ridiculous on a stick thin, dainty girl. Plus, if the new char was male, he could have kept Tengu's voice.
What bothers me is that TN thought is was okay to take an established male character and genderbend him into a girl. This shows that either TN has so little faith in the fanbase that they don't believe that people would buy a dlc character if it was male, especially considering this is an already established character with an established fanbase, or TN said fuck Tengu and made him a girl so that they could milk fans dry with overpriced, copy-pasted dlc. My guess is that it's probably both. Honestly, I'm no longer 100 percent sure that any of the dlc characters will be male, but who knows, right?
This actually bothers me a lot (in addition to TN essentially trolling the shit out of actual Tengu fans, which is not a cool thing for any company to do to any of their fans).
I mean, look at the last
six months. Not only is there nothing for any of the guys since mid-December, but pretty much everything they've released has been related to some fetish or another: another swimwear pack, the ****ing gravures, a loli (even if you say she's not a loli because they say she's 18, you
know she was designed to appeal to people into lolis), copy-paste nurse pack, and copy-paste cheerleader/gym pack.
That's seriously bad. They either sold out to make as much money as possible, or they think that's all their fanbase is interested in buying. Either way, they aren't thinking very highly of their fanbase. In which case, I don't think I'd want to be considered a part of their fanbase if they think so lowly of us.
I mean, sure, that's all
some of the fanbase is interested in, but I don't think catering to the more misogynistic parts of their fanbase who only want objects they can masturbate to is a positive thing, and I don't appreciate being grouped in with them.
