It's always such a weird topic because the people who bitch about it are usually the same people who defend the whole "don't like it don't buy it" mentality. There are certainly arguments that gratuitous sexulization can feel really out of place in some games, especially if added out of the blue, but not in games where that is the center of attention over a ten year release of ten to twenty games.

Their should just be porn games and dating sims. That's what these guys really want anyway.

Otherwise, it's usually a sign of misogyny

There is something very wrong about tricking your mind to have sexual interests in untouchable made up drawings.
No there isn't.

Art porn is thousands of years old.

*looks at how Sophitia's chest grew a little bit in basically every new SoulCalibur game*

Yeah, I can see that. I don't have a problem with it, but more serious games having fanservice thrown in like that does feel awkward sometimes.

Ugly is subjective.

Druckmann will argue its wrong to sexualize women in video games. And by a big name. Not randoms on the internet.

It's fine as long as they aren't children. Unfortunately a lot of gamers disagree with the second part of that statement.

It's not so much hate as it is a narrow view of women and how they are. Women dont exist solely for male sexual gratification

That one reply down below though...

"'We' reduce these characters down to much less than they can be." -Neil

No, Neil. WE don't do that. YOU do, by focusing 100% on how these women LOOK and 0% on who they are or what they've done.


They're right. Some people just see "big boobs, sexualized, bad role model" and completely ignore everything else. Are all of Lara Croft's adventures and accomplishments rendered invalid because of the size of her chest and the short shorts she often wears? I mentioned Sophitia earlier too. Is she a "bad role model" despite saving the world and then becoming a loving mother of two just because she grew into F-cups and showed a bit more cleavage? Discounting their accomplishments like that because of how they look is more rude and degrading than the sexualized designs are.

Yes, there are examples of shameless fanservice just for the sake of fanservice. I don't deny that at all. But saying that any sort of sexualization in games (or anime, or any media) is bad and objectifies women is wrong. By saying that, you're basically making them into exactly what you're supposedly rallying against by ignoring their character and their other merits simply to call them "too sexualized" based on their looks alone.

TC an easy retort you couldve been making is that all your opponents are only thinking of it from a males perspective and believe this topic is only referring to female characters so you can take at a shot at their own sexism by giving examples of male characters but since youre not and are instead getting defensive theyre probably right and this topic WAS made with just female sexualization in mind.
Because I don't deny it. I do like it. And I stand by my position.

It's hilarious that American puritanism led to the biggest concern with Mortal Kombat being how scantily dressed some characters are and not the insane violence. Thinking sex is evil and violence is good is probably the cause of a lot of issues.

goddamn it's so validating being so right about your ilk all the time

Why do you even care so much? If you dislike something and dislike the people who enjoy that thing, why constantly seek it out like you seem to? Live and let live. Or just block us and free yourself from whatever we post that seems to trigger you every time you see it, that works too.

There are also a good amount of female fans out there who like seeing strong female characters (like Lara Croft) in media. Not all of them are the jealous anti-sexualization type, so they're fine with a bit of fanservice as long as the character themselves is still cool and respected.

Mk used to be scantily clad too. As recently as 2011

But apparently women in leotards is bad, but their brains on floor is ok.

Shirtless men are fine though.

Sex ain't evil it's just obtrusive. Keep that shit to your porn and commissions and let me play my games without joke-looking characters


I like having characters that look like that.

Why can't certain games appeal to a demographic that likes that? You don't have to play that game and you likely won't.
