I’ve seen a lot of folks online who think they can teach developers how to develop, but I didn’t imagine the problem was so bad in face-to-face interactions.
As spotted by Game*Spark, Tokyo Game Dungeon’s official X account made a statement on May 5 saying that despite the organizers’ efforts to raise awareness about the issue of “preachy dudes” over the past two years, they still haven’t been able to eliminate the problem at their events. According to their definition, “preachy dudes”(jp: sekkyo ojisan) are people of any age and gender who find it acceptable to badger developers with condescending, unsolicited “advice” on their abilities and work.
The article actually talks about how these preachy dudes haven’t even played the game they are criticizing. That’s actually pretty ridiculous.
I mean I see it all the time in steam forums and social media.
Gamers taking one look at a screenshot or trailer video, and immediately giving their take about how it “should be”.
And it always comes down to the gender or skin color of a character. It’s fucking pathetic.
Or, if it’s a game where you create a character, it’s because they used “body type 1” and “body type 2” instead of “male” and “female.”
Kids tends to have strong imaginations.
