Lollipop Chainsaw's Halloween Trailer Full Of Blood, Female Pejoratives
October 31, 2011 12:00 PM | Eric Caoili
In honor of the holiday -- and starting off our Halloween-themed posts today -- Grasshopper/WBIE/Kadokawa put out a new Grindhouse-style trailer for Lollipop Chainsaw that's "full of blood, skin, and severed heads", which is probably exactly what you'd expect from a Suda51-directed game.
There's also plenty of vulgarity to add to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 game's edginess, including one scene that has a villain calling the zombie-slaying, chainsaw-revving cheerleader heroine Juliet Starling a "fuckin' bitch'", going so far as to insert the text on the screen with letters in all caps.
You would think that after all the controversy over in-game characters calling females like Catwoman and Harley Quinn the b-word in Batman: Arkham City, another Warner Bros. published game, the publisher would have avoided calling women in its games that for a while, or at least not emphasize it so!
Or maybe this is a new mandate from WB management to all its internal and partner studios, like from here on out, all its future games need to use the word: Gotham City Impostors, Witcher 2, and Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster -- no virtual woman, even in muppet form, is safe from the term.

Urgh, looks like a bad mix of No More Heroes and Oneechanbara. I pass this.
