I don't think so, it's consistent with logic/reasoning These are SJWs we're talking about here I think strawman complaints about gaming Illuminati is more for the other side of the coin really. "SJW" as a video game critique is like lazy alt-comedians in the late 80s/90s/00s saying 'Feminists!' to get a laugh from people too stuck in their own shit.

Serious bummer about the female wrestlers. I never used them religiously but it was nice to have a good bunch of women wrestlers to play as. I just take solace in the fact that it sounds like they actually have standards and aren't just throwing shit in just to have it in. Hopefully that's actually the case and that everything that is there is properly refined. It kind of worries me that stuff like Universe mode will carry over (I mean it's coming back, right?) because it means relics of awful Yukes/THQ creations and their broken mechanics could still exist. I don't mind the barebonedness of the game so long as the game is actually a functioning and proper game now, I'll take playability over features this year and hope the game just grows from there.

Haven't created a female CAW....ever, but I feel for the guys who use them.

My biggest issue with this announcement?
So, you guys didn't want to tell anyone of these reductions because you wanted to give your team enough time to see if anything could be salvaged...and then you couldn't do it?
Sigh. Don't do that. Please. It's not going to do anyone any good.
I feel like their hearts are in the right place, they're showing that they are getting away from THQ's shadow, but if this shit happens again next year, we're going to have a problem. I hate the fact that the game seems more and more geared towards the WWE crowd as it does the CAW crowd, so I'm hoping next year's iteration is going to be spectacular.

I'd feel bad for those small few who make like 50 female CAWs every year, but let's be honest, making Divas has always resulted in crap. No created diva EVER looked passable because of how shitty the CAD options were. So in the end are you REALLY losing that much? It's like taking a red-haired Barbie doll and calling her Eva Marie.

I look at it like this; It's a huge Rebuilding Year. Yeah, it sounds like someone defending a sports team that keeps losing by 50 points a game, but we have to remember that this game isn't simply the past-gen version with a pretty bow tied in it's hair. It basically a 95% new game built on the old game's foundation. You could almost say this isn't the Smackdown series anymore, but an entirely new series by a different company.
EDIT: That said, this just got posted on the Place Of Tweets...

I'm beginning to get tired of it now.

These wig splitting, five starring and gravity forgetting superstars show their entrances off.

I'm on the final Sami Zayn 'Who's Got NXT?' and its a perfect example of what's wrong with this game. This is not a good game and I'm forever thankful that I received it as a gift.
I mean, if I hit a finisher multiple times and a guy gets up and reverses you to death, you've made a bad game.

Damn it, I want to see Ambrose and Rollins' entrances. They supposedly have new entrances not in the last gen version.

These wig splitting, five starring and gravity forgetting superstars show their entrances off. Neville's entrance is awesome, other than his pose on the stage not being cued to the music like on TV... Him coming through the steam is just so damn cool-looking for some reason.

It's quite disappointing about the Diva CAWS, there's quite a few of the NXT ladies I would have liked to have added to the game, but it's not the end of the world.
Seeing pictures from the Creation Suite with Dean and Seth make me even more excited about this game than before -- they look incredible and it's going to be an amazing feature for keeping the game up-to-date.
I've said it before and i'll say it again: I prefer 25 quality CAWS over a hundred mediocre ones. And the previous games diva CAWS looked really bad the majority of the time anyway.

People will be disappointed (and clearly are) but it's a case of 'we didn't want to allow you to make CAWs which are below standard and wouldn't do justice to the women wrestlers' as opposed to 'we're Ubisoft'. But it's still the same basic response of "Women are hard".

Yeah, I thought the same. Hopefully there'll be an intro in the Create an Entrance that's long enough to sync 'em up! Mizark's entrance looks awesome though. I was gonna say RVD's is a copy & paste job, then I realised it's more the fact he's been doing the same thing since the 90's!

I'm so tired of people lazily throwing around condescending terms like "social justice warrior" to minimize and discredit arguments for better representation in gaming.
Women's issues in gaming are important, and this is exactly the kind of thing devs should be taken to task for.
