WC: You’d be perfectly correct to label Bayonetta’s gratuitous candy shots obvious bait for the male gaming demographic. You’d also be well within your rights to criticize her ludicrously sexy design—she does, after all, closely resemble a snake that ate two softballs, a watermelon, and stilts.
With that said, there are several, less subjective qualities to Platinum’s fireball of an IP that deserve recognition, and several more that have brought the aforementioned sensitive topics closer to proper discussion and experimentation—a far cry above the hushed, defensive, and often accusatory muttering they currently see.

I could definitely see a Bayonetta/Dante game. Imagine them initially battling each other before eventually teaming up to take on the big baddies. Now, imagine what their child(ren) would be like.
Bayonetta and Dante I could see but even then with how their lore differs it's a hard sell. For the others...I just can't see it at all.
I feel he's just saying whatever comes to him online
Bayonetta is a witch who enter contracts with demons for power and Dante is a demon, not really hard to connect.
They could even write in an alliance between the umbra witches and sparda.
On the surface yeah but the actual lore the two games have given us if you go into it...not so much.
She also played Chun-Li and Major from Ghost in the Shell
oh shit, i did know that the Major voice actress passed away but i didnt know she voiced bayonetta too
rest in peace
Major is definitely one of my all time favourite anime characters so this is really sad
The creator of the Bayonetta franchise Hideki Kamiya appeared in an interview and discussed the plans for the future of the series.
>"Journalists" having the nerve to talk about 'obvious bait'.
BRB, I just need to go retrieve my sides.
Enjoyed the game. Eye candy aside my wife enjoyed the game to. I know some will disagree and that's fine. But in my opinion regardless of what system it could have been on. It's a enjoyable game.
A couple youtubers known as Inside Gaming had a very intelligent and insightful discussion about this. I recommend looking it up.
Please, no more of this "one way per page" thing. It's such a pain to deal with.
OT: Bayonetta is a fine series and the criticisms are from people who find sexuality in general to be a bad thing. It's pathetic and incredibly narrow-minded. There's no one right way to make a good video game heroine, but I will not deny for a second that Bayonetta is a fantastic one.
Spent a lot of time defending the fact that she is a sex object.
