Lollipop Chainsaw Is "Back", And Juliet Is The Raunchy Female Lead We Need

thegamer.com:

Lollipop Chainsaw turned ten years old this week, which was quickly followed by confirmation that it was "back". This came via a tweet from Yoshimi Yasuda, the game's executive producer and previously the CEO of its publisher, Kadokawa Games. No further explanation was given, leaving us to speculate as to whether that means a sequel, reboot, remaster, or Juliet's own line of bath soaps. There has never been a game quite like Lollipop Chainsaw, and whatever being "back" means, I know I'll be right there with it.

Lollipop Chainsaw is the sort of game that gets mentioned whenever chuds complain about gaming being too woke these days, even though it was written by the Bernie Sanders-loving commie James Gunn, who these chuds also loathe. The idea of 'you'd never get away with that these days' is one I often struggle with. People say it about everything. People say it about The Office, which is one of the most popular shows still streaming. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and South Park are two of the biggest shows on TV and we are rapidly being desensitised to violence, sex, and language in our media. Yes, people (and as a result, media) used to be more openly racist, homophobic, sexist, and pretty much any other form of discrimination, but Jayne Mansfield's 1963 movie Promises! Promises! was banned because of a scene where Mansfield is in the bath covered in bubbles. Alfred Hitchcock had to beg for a toilet to be shown in Psycho. Meanwhile 2022's Deep Water sees Ana de Armas give a blowjob and then pick a pubic hair out of her teeth. I'm not really interested in hearing about how 'you'd never get away with it these days', because that only ever holds up if you're talking about something like blackface.
