When I was on the latest Ratchet and Clank game, there was an incredibly heated discussion that happened between the game director, art director, the lead writer, the lead character TD, and myself.
It was about Rivet, the female lead.

The discussion — or argument, really — was basically about whether we should make Rivet look more stereotypically feminine looking. That is, should she have wider hips, visible breasts (or bumps in her suit), and other physical traits we normally associate with cartoony women.

We believed that:
1. It went against the message of the game, which is that anyone can be a hero regardless of how they look
2. You don't need to be stereotypically feminine to be a woman
3. RIVET IS A FUCKING ALIEN SPACE FOX, JUST LIKE RATCHET

I worry this will kill my career – but this has been eating at me every single day for a year now.
Last year I was so depressed – for the first time in my life I started to contemplate suicide.
I left Insomniac Games because of how they treat women.

Him complaining about this kind of thing while his bio says "I sculpted Spider-Man's nipples" seems a little weird to me, too.

You not being able to control your abusive urge when you see cartoon anatomy is indicative of YOUR issues, not ours.
Control yourself. https://t.co/4ZclUB824X
