Yeah it's annoying but it doesn't matter as much as it used to since almost everything that AAA industry puts out is shit anyway. Quality of big video games has gone down a lot. Games come out half baked with tons of glitches, lacking basic features their predecessors had. Tons of microtransactions. No new innovative gameplay to speak of. Hand holding games meant to appeal to the widest possible demographic.

Sure we get a smash hit every once in awhile like Elden Ring or REremake, but gone are the days like 2007 where we get BioShock, Team fortress 2, Halo 3, Modern Warfare, Portal and Super Mario Galaxy all in one year. Now we're lucky if we get 1-2 great games in one year.

But just to argue the point, The de-sexualization of women has been on the rise since Anita Sarkesian started making her shitty videos. Not only are sleazy women gone but now The pendulum swung the other way. Got to escape that male gaze, so now we need to make the women super plain or androgynous or just look like men.

One of the retorts is "just go look at porn". Your average Str8male/lesbian isn't asking for something to beat it to. Would it just hurt to design a character that makes peoples jaws drop? How about something that actually reflects the real world? I know that's not why we play video games but that doesn't stop people from trying to make their games as realistic as possible. Instagram, OF, Twitter and TikTok have made me realize women love expressing their sexuality, why do games go to full lengths to try to suppress that? You got more modesty in Triple-A games then in church .

Sorry you can only jerk off to 50% of video game women these days. That must be pretty hard, or I guess not.

I wonder how you survive in the real world. If you think all video game women are ugly, androgynous men, then I can't imagine how you cope with real women in the real world being much, more plainer.
