Japanese indie dev tells randoms begging for keys and offering exposure to 'buy it, you piece of garbage' (www.pcgamer.com)

In a recent FAQ spotted by Automaton, Housenka responded to a hypothetical of "I'll promote you, give me a Steam key" with a delightfully blunt: "Buy it, you piece of garbage." Or, as Automaton translates it from the original Japanese, "Buy the game, you piece of sh*t." I can't decide which I like better, honestly. The full FAQ is worth a read, if only for Housenka's sense of humour and an insight into the absurd questions independent devs get asked these days. 

"Make this character's ass and thighs thicker," another frequent-question-asker demands, to which Housenka responds: "Accept her as she is." When asked by a phantom answer if the game will add sex, Housenka also proceeds to provide a link to DLsite, an online store that sells doujinshi—self-published manga comics that are often (though not always) pornographic in nature. "No sex. Please visit DLsite for that."

“Make this character’s ass and thighs thicker,” another frequent-question-asker demands, to which Housenka responds: “Accept her as she is.”

edit: there's probably some irony or hypocrisy in me using this image (a guy with exaggerated muscles) as a positive on a comment about sexualization but I couldn't think of a better image to use

but I couldn't think of a better image to use

kind of sums up the problem our society is struggling with. Chad is perfect here. Why should you try to think of a better image to use?

We need to rationalize that humans like this sort of thing, and also that they shouldn't demand it of others.

Is it laughable to demand game characters always be hot? Yes

Do people appreciate fan service characters? Also yes

Humans have been sexualizing everything forever, it's in our nature. But we need to stop being so damn creepy about it.

it's ironic, that's kind of the joke.

The humorous part of the statement is not the fact that the dev doesn't care, but the fact that the dev who doesn't care is portrayed as this "gigachad" individual. The gigachad part here is literally not being THE gigachad.

Accept him as he is, too.
