Meanwhile, if you search for "[female character] fatalities" on Youtube, there's a disturbing number of videos that's "fatalities done to [female character]" instead of what you would expect with "fatalities done by [female character]." And the view counts of those videos are pretty big too. There's one that has 2.7M view counts. 2.7 million people watched some fictional woman repeatedly getting her corpse mutilated for 25 minutes. I think she's supposed to be an evil cyborg or something, and that seems to be the excuse people in the comments are running with.
I was completely turned off by the fatalities of the newer Mortal Kombat, but I wasn't expecting "developers getting PTSD from watching snuff footage so players can use the series as an outlet for their incel fantasies of dismembering women" to be another thing to dislike the series.
There's one bug lady in the new ones that the fanbase fucking despises because she's the only new character that the devs and writers let accomplish anything and allow to kill legacy characters in the story mode.
Every time she does anything they think either that it shouldnt have happened at all, or that a legacy character like the ninja clones should have been the one to do it.
I'm completely OOTL with the series after MK4 (there's like weird timeline shenanigans that just makes me go "huh"), so when I searched for "Sonya fatalities" on Youtube, I wanted to see a bunch of videos of the fatalities she had and compare her fatalities from MK1/MK3 with the newer games. I didn't want to see a bunch of videos of every single MK characters performing their fatalities on a defeated Sonya. Like, that's so creepy. It's not even incel shit at this point, but full blown serial killer shit.
Oh yeah thats just complete creepy misogynist shit going on, the only thing people have been mad about with Sonya in the new games is that they had a transphobic UFC fighter who cant act play her in the latest released one, and guys who make youtube compilations would just be happy about that.

Its much worst if its Frost you talking about. She was a normal character who was brought back as a cyborg randomly in the new game with a new motivation of being the better cyborg version of sub-zero with her own group of cyber frost ninja that are supposed to be superior. The cast basically treats her in game as little more a joke and she has short hair so the fandom treats her as the feminist, karen imitation of subzero. Given her new story it was probably the developers' intention.
I know which videos you're talking about- my guess was that the reason they picked frost was simply that graphically dismembering or disemboweling a cyborg woman with motor oil for blood was less likely to trigger Youtube's filters

I love her and the fact that she is so hated fuels me.
