Not every female character needs to be sexualized, but if the developers of a game want to make them that way, that's totally cool.I was going to type out a lengthy post, but I think this one sums it up enough.
Thinking it's somehow harmful is ridiculous.
Fight that culture it by making all women in game ugly is ludicrous

I expected more reviews being upset about something like Stellar Blade but it actually seems to be getting a positive response in terms of the character designs and even outfits. Kotaku of all places said they were great when I would have fully expected them to be upset
They're not all "ugly". Just becuase they aren't showing their tits or have metal thongs for armor doesn't make them "ugly"Cue *fatAloy.jpg* because posting an obvious manip apparently immediately wins the argument.

Imagine not being misogynistic, and treating women as actual humans instead of a sex object
real women are more attractive than some sex doll bimbo caricature mans idea of a woman who are also commonly depicted as child like
I love how GTA roasts this culture of misogyny with the satirical princess robot bubblegum anime and Wasabi Kitty

For example characters like Tifa saw an ever so slight tit reduction, which still left her with large tits, and you had the perpetually horny types in devestation like her character was ruined.

Women who love Tifa are misogynistic?What?
This feels like an extreme position. Lots of women and men like sexualized characters and that's okay.This is one giant strawman, I never said anything about sexuality being negative or that it shouldnt exist. You are conflating sexuality with oversexualization and objectification.
While true, Video Games are meant to be an escape from reality.Yet another strawman, Im not arguing against fantasy, art, or fiction in general.

The whole thing is a multi-faceted issue unnecessarily polarized into two extreme sides by idiots. You have the crazy fringe ResetEra types and the crazy fringe dumbos who think there's some big anti-sexy conspiracy, and they just fuel each other.
There was a game called final fantasy mobius a few years ago and it's lead character was revealed and his outfit was the skimpy oversexualized style many female characters had to wear
And the exact same people who will defend putting a nun in a game with nothing but a mini skirt, stripper boots and pasties send letter after letter to square until they redesigned the character to be less sexual
So I can't take any argument in favor of oversexualized designs seriously when I know the people defending it would 100% be outraged if a male character dressed as skimpy
I don't recall anything about the Mobius character being an issue. It was an awful game, and was shut down in 2020 after only being up for 4 years internationally (dunno if jp is still active)
