The lights are on
Sony Santa Monica said today that it has changed the name of a Trophy in God of War: Ascension, which drew criticism for misogyny.
The original Trophy in the game was entitled "Bros Before Hos." It was earned in the game after Kratos brutally beats a female Fury. Many, including Adam Sessler, had criticized the Trophy as misogynistic and for promoting violence against women.
Now, Joystiq is reporting that, on Tuesday, the name of the Trophy will be changed to "Bros Before Foes" in a patch update to Ascension.
Here's the statement released by Sony Santa Monica:
"We have created and will soon push out a patch for God of War: Ascension that alters the title of one of the game Trophies. The text was offensive to some members of our community and impacted their enjoyment of the game. We are endlessly committed to ensuring that our community can fully enjoy the experiences the team has created. As such, we've addressed the feedback and amended the Trophy in question."

You get the trophy for killing an evil demon creature bent on taking your own
life,i think the term is appropriately applied to an evil spawn of hades out for your life. you dont get the trophy for killing a random harmless woman, people want gender equality but it isnt a one way thing, you cant have kickass heroines or kickass female villains an avoid the bad stuff that would be acceptable if it was applied to a man. I have seen several people say that if your argument is "what about if this thing happened to a man" your argument is stupid and invalid. They say this because they see the world as male dominated so anti male stuff just doesn't count to them. Are many things in this world male dominated sure, but if you try and tell me women haven't played a pivotal role role in the advancement of human culture and control of power in this world then you are an idiot. If you really look at the history of the human race and not just specific instances women have proven to be every bit mans equal. so this stupid attempt to rush out to protect the poor women from something as harmless as this is disgusting.
Wait wait wait, God of War is being accused of being misogynistic? Since when is this news to ANYONE?
Didn't SR3 have a achievement like this?
...Do the people who are complaining about this even know what a Fury really is?
Kicking it's ass and calling it a ho is completely appropriate.
This is just stupid...
All that because of a random trophy?
What ***
that is stupid and that is all i have to say about it
