Just some game Korean men made – KartRider Rush+ Review

It’s really not that surprising to see some game Korean men made holding onto outdated gender roles, but this game took it to another level and made girl characters into some crazy pink looking things who are obsessed with boys and dresses and boy characters always looking more focused on the race and in the center of the attention. The outfit options are strictly limited to certain genders. For the past few months I’ve been playing this game, I’ve been really annoyed with all the gendered items and outfits the game has and I’ve been trying to turn a blind eye to it since this game is my childhood game, but I just couldn’t take it anymore and decided to delete it. As much as I was excited to see this game come back and bring memories of my childhood, I was grossed out by the fact that they really haven’t learned anything and that their deep-rooted gender roles and ideas have not changed at all. One would think if someone made a knock off version of a famous game(Mario Kart), it would at least have some cooler alternatives and options, but this game just invites you into a world of gendered items and characters who strictly follow what they think “how girls behave” and “how boys behave”. I’m not sticking with such a game in 2020. Realize that a lot of people have grown out of your old gender values if you’re that desperate to make this game international.
