Or, how not to smash a console stereotype. Deadline is reporting that Xbox Studios, the group responsible for bringing original programming to Microsoft’s consoles, is working on “scripted comedy East Of Exurbia”.
It is based on… a story that was written on… Brobible. If you’re unfamiliar with the site, it is exactly what it sounds like.
That story “revolves around three guys who try to build a bastion of bro-fuelled debauchery in a house that happens to be situated on top of a magical portal to other worlds”.
OK.

Unless it’s being ironic or showing the problems with dudebros obsession with toxic masculinity, this sounds like a terrible idea that makes humanity weep.
Oh dear… :/
Goddamn I hate bros… (not the 80s three piece pop group of ‘When Will I Be Famous’ fame.)
Oh I hated Bros soooo much… Especially because NOW I HAVE THAT F’ING SONG IN MY HEAD!
One of the BROS, Luke Goss, was the villain in Hellboy 2.
I think someone should point out that what you’re doing here is generalising and demonizing a group of people based on stereotypes; those you believe to be “bros”.
I thought there was an awareness of this sort of thing here? I’m not into “bro-culture” but I don’t assume all of them are a danger to our morals, that line of thinking supposedly went out of date for obvious reasons.
#notallbros (Someone had to say it)
Between this, the piling on Halo, and CoD exclusive content, it seems they have the bro market cornered at least.
I read the headline as ‘A bastion of bro-fueled douchbaggery’ and am not sure I was wrong.
