The embarrassment continues to mount for the woke left over its obsession with what it refers to as "realistic female bodies" as Korean women are now making a joke out of the West's political correctness.
As I've been reporting, the feminist/social justice crowd has been apoplectic about a South Korean-made game called "Stellar Blade" from Shift Up Studios. Its main character, Eve, is a beautiful woman with very sexy bodily features. This isn't something that can exist in the West, according to leftists, because Eve's body is wholly "unrealistic."
The outrage from the left became so overt that the French arm of major gaming news site IGN published an article calling Eve a "sexualized doll" created by people who've never seen a woman before. This article was lambasted globally as it turned out that Eve was modeled after a real woman, Korean model Shin Jae-eun. Moreover, the wife of the game's head creator, Jiyun Chae, had a hand in creating Eve herself as she's one of the concept artists at the company. IGN's head office was forced to take action and apologize to Shift Up for the article.
But as embarrassing as that was, the public flogging is only getting worse as Korean women are now mocking Western leftists and their bizarre views on women.
Maxim Korea released a video that featured an "educational" segment about the female form for Western leftists that confirmed that women who look like Eve actually do exist.
This might be one of the greatest slams on Western radical leftism I have ever seen. https://t.co/MslOuQLefd

If you'd like to watch the segment yourself, you can in the video below. Just know it's a tad saucy, especially in the beginning, so hide your phone or work screen. Also, if you don't have subtitles turned on, do so.
What gets me is that the hostess says this during her report:
"It's another issue related to political correctness we've been hearing a lot about these days."
Meaning that political correctness has not infected South Korea nearly as much as it has the Western world, causing me to wonder if maybe it's time to pack up the family and become the Gangnam Hillbillies, but I digress.
The conclusion here isn't that Korean women are exceptionally beautiful compared to Western women, which I feel some will take as the meaning, but that the female form comes in all shapes and sizes and that the rage of Western leftists against women with idealistic bodies being presented in media reveals more about their own insecurities and prejudices than anything else.
But also, it needs to be understood by the rest of the world that the Western game journalists who are throwing tantrums over women's bodies do not represent the Western gaming culture. In fact, they made it clear in 2014 that they're not one of us at all. As such, no gaming studio, Eastern or Western, needs to listen to them about what should and shouldn't be in media.

The thing is, if Stellar Blade was a bad game, Eve's beauty and sex appeal wouldn't save it because the looks of a woman aren't ultimately the deciding factor on whether or not a game is good. The looks just make it more aesthetically pleasing to the player, man or woman, which helps. This isn't something the Western left seems to understand, rather they would condemn the gaming subculture as a whole to garner corporate support and donation dollars while angrily scratching their own ideological itches.
As it stands, Shift Up is set to have massive success with "Stellar Blade" while Western game journos and leftists will have nothing but embarrassment.
"Stellar Blade" releases on PlayStation 5 on April 26.
