^^^ But the trophy is still tasteless, yes? That's all I've ever argued.

No, you're beating the shit out of one of the Furies.
If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, swims like a duck, it's safe to say it's a duck.
If it looks like a Fury, quacks like a Fury, swims like a Fury, it's safe to say it's a Fury. What's your point?
The Furies are based on women. They look like women. They're women. If they aren't women then the original achievement isn't just non-offensive, it's completely nonsensical. WHy would you say Bros Before Hos if they
weren't female?
The same reason people assumed that despite Bros and Hos being plural, it was referencing one man beating up one woman. It didn't seem to cross our minds that it contextually makes absolutely no sense.
But the furies ARE female. The furies are women. This is like explaining away Loli-porn by saying they're actually 10 000 year old vampires or some shit (the Tera-Defence, as I call it). They look and act female. Historically they're considered female spirits/gods. They. Are. Female.
I'm not arguing that they're not female. In fact, I quite agree with you. What I'm saying is that "Bros before Hos" doesn't reference Kratos beating up Alecto in no way, shape or form. It just doesn't fit.
You're a fucking idiot. You're bending and flexing in response to every criticism I throw at you, you goddamn troll. You say they aren't women. Then you say they are. Then you say the achievement doesn't have anything to do with all the stuff that happens on the screen AS YOU GET the achievement. The achievement is about them.
Fuck you. And fuck anthony87. You and everyone is this thread defending the achievement are everything that is wrong with the gaming community. Do you ever wonder why Fox news can roll out its anti-gaming rants with impunity? How jack Thmopson still exists? Because games are full of immature shit like that achievement. And everytime somebody tries to clean up gaming's act you shits come flooding out of the woodwork to defend your god-given right to be immature. To be hostile to women. To completely and totally demean women.
The original achievement doesn't reflect too badly on gamers.
YOU DO.
Changing it is a tiny, trivial thing. But you have to screech and rant and rave about "free speech", "censorship", "feminazis". Shit like this:

Because god-forbid you actually consider the implications behind what you say. Does the idea that other people have emotions terrify you so much? Are you so very scared of a little bit of introspection, of thinking about what your words mean, how they might hurt people? Bugger empathy, let's fucking quibble over why it's
technically not offensive.

Nobody called the demon a prostitute at all. The phrase "bros before hos" has never been about calling women prostitutes. Much like the author of this article, you ought to try learning what you're actually speaking about before you open your mouth.
Like this. The Fury's aren't called prostitutes. They're just presented along with a word used to
describe prostitutes. Here's a hint dude: that's calling them prostitutes. Ho means prostitute. The joke is that it's bro's before hos because women are just good for sex. Because they're prostitutes.
