"I'm sick of Pyramid Head Being the Sepheroth of Silent Hill!"
As some of you probably know, Silent Hill, the horror videogame series by Konami is going to be made into a movie.
A picture of one of the more iconic monsters "Pyramid Head", along with an interview with the Director, Cristoph Gans, and the music composer Akira Yamaoka was posted in the Silent Hill community.

All's fun and good until aethrykitten chimes in with
"ZOMG I'M OFFENDED THAT GANS IS SEXIST!"

After a bit of back and forth, wherein Aethyr is told that they're over-reacting, We see that Aethyr makes a scathing post to Silent Hill fans in their personal LJ, generously notifying the fandom that they're leaving forever!

Christophe Gans attempts to justify the changing of the main character in Silent Hill from a father to a mother:

We realized after two weeks in the writing process that Harry was actually motivated by feminine, almost maternal feelings. It’s not that he’s effeminate, but he’s acting like a woman. So, if we wanted to keep the character, we would have to change other aspects of him…so to be true to the character, we changed Harry into Rose.


O_O

...I... just.. f... wh... I cannot tell you on how many levels I find this offensive. Let's stick to pure gender offenses, ignoring creative offenses and the bullshit of changing a character to stay true to their character (???). It's girly to care about your children? You HAD to change the character to a woman because he was acting girly by LOOKING FOR HIS LOST CHILD? If he were a real man, he would've just gone home without his kid? O RLY? I.. wh.. m..

My god.

I... am not going to see the movie in the theater now, like I'd originally planned. A sexist pig like that doesn't deserve my fucking money.

Fucking sick.

EDIT: Fudged up links fixed. Thanks dodyskin.
