They’ve found something else to be mad at FF7 Rebirth for now…

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

Spoilers for a cutscene in the Junon region of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth:

Yuffie is introduced and is nearly drowned by a monster. Cloud is asked to help with saving her life by performing chest compressions. The camera lingers on her breasts as Cloud hesitates to touch her in that area. Yuffie wakes up, sees him looming over her with his hands outstretched and calls him a pervert. The pervert joke would be tired on its own, but why is the game inviting the audience to leer at a 14 year old's body?? The presumed straight male player is expected to be like, "haha, I get it bro! Tough decision to save her when she's got boobies near where your hand would be!!!"

I sometimes wish the people in charge of making giant games like this had life experiences outside of watching tv for adolescents.
