What about the terribly written fanfiction that makes a horrible strawman argument with a OC that's a thinly veiled counterpart to a forum member you're annoyed with?

Oh look, new page, let's celebrate with a picture to sum up the thread

<Despatche> you've been a thorn in the shmups community since the beginning, you're largely responsible for the horrible face of modern speedrunning

You might have missed Giest's point: he himself has made a shmup with ponies.

I agree, I much prefer characters that are well dressed and presentable then half naked ones. Do arcade consumers really care that much for generic slut #26266?

Wow, thread delivers on multiple levels.

On topic:

I had a bit of a tough time choosing between #2 and #3, but I ultimately went with #2 since it better represents how I feel. That said, one of my favorite shooters ever is RFJ, which has a fairly serious military theme outside of the Miclus and Fairy (both of which the game would be better off without, for various reasons).

Probably not, but it makes the game way more marketable and easier to make merchandise for.
