Point and Clickbait posted an amusing take on the adolescent fantasy that if you give a crudely-objectified female character a sword and sexuality she becomes proof that feminists just hate sex.

Critics of the game have suggested that Sexblade is "astoundingly sexist" and "terrible in every way", but Farmer argues it's wrong to suggest that Sexblade is sexist.

"Isn't it shaming female sexuality to attack Sexblade like this?" he asked. "Sexblade is a fully-fleshed out and real character with strong, believable motivations which drive her to do things like moan orgasmically when she takes damage."

"It's the people who want to put a stop to that - they are the real sexists."
