That statue thing is a stupid thing to include in any sort of collector's edition period, regardless of whether the decapitated torso is a man's or a woman's.
I acknowledge the fact that sexism is a hot topic right now in video games (or at least it wants so, so hard to be one), but I look at this statue and don't see anyone objectifying or oppressing women in any way; I just see a thoughtlessly thought out, repulsive, tacky, and just overall stupid thing to try and sell to people.
Everyone sees things differently. I'm not going to sit here and try to say sexism doesn't exist (because in all honesty who gives a damn about some random idiot in the comments for a video game related story and what he thinks), but if you're looking at things and repeatedly finding that you see those things as sexist, aren't you in some way the sexist one?
As I said before. I saw that statue and was offended at how grotesque it was. I wondered what kind of person would want a statue of a mutilated PERSON period. Think about how you're looking at things yourself before tossing accusations at every little thing and proclaiming that it's sexist. If you're looking through tinted glasses, you're half of the problem.
I don't have anything against Patrick. He's an entertaining guy and I enjoy reading his stories, but first there's the Twitter thing a month or so ago, and then during the Anarchy Reigns TNT he voiced having an issue with the appearance of that woman in that trailer for the new cyberpunk game CD Projekt is doing (saying it was gross or something like that), and now this?
I hope it's a coincidence, and not some sort of feminist agenda.
