I'm not telling you what to think. There's no evidence that points to Bayonetta being anything but some guy's horny fantasy of what women should be but people can think what they want.

Women that criticized Bayonetta were harassed for not towing the line on misogynist nerd shit so they don't talk about the character or the series as much anymore.

Examples are out there if you look.

Those that come to the defense of the character and series also ignore the obvious misogyny demonstrated by the creators. Bayonetta's only feminist or unproblematic if you buy into Naomi Wolfe's bullshit Fire with Fire feminism.

Annoyed by the critics that suddenly feel betrayed by the series because they had convinced themselves the games weren't sexist even when it couldn't have been more obvious. People tried to tell them Bayonetta was misogynist as fuck but they were dismissed as "sex-negative" or whatever.
