And yet neckbeards shit themselves whenever anyone mentions it because they are afraid it will stop. It is pathetic.

I mean seriously, this is just blatant sex appeal--don't try to deny it. This armor isn't even functional, and almost every game has women like this.

It's unfortunate, but until there are a significantly greater portion of women working in the video game industry, along with a greater nerd culture shift towards inclusivity, this will be the norm.

That is not sexualization. That is appealing to the male player's desire to be a badass. Most people aren't into overly-muscled freaks.

I challenge you to find me a single example of a sexualized male. And don't just post some shirtless musclebound freak. Those characters are also geared towards straight men.

Women don't like to be sexy?

Look at underwear advertisement. Male power fantasy means buffed out chiseled dudes. For women it's voluptuous sexiness.

What IS a sexualized male?

Hello there

Also, women aren't attracted to bulges. They love the eye candy of a jacked chest and bulging muscles. Which is exactly how most males are protrayed in video games.

Yeah SC4 has some of the worst pandering in the series, and it's not just the sexualization of certain characters but also Star Wars characters in the Soul Calibur universe? Like what the fuck?

Anyways yes Ivy is clearly designed to be sexualized, but I think it has to do with balance representation. On the opposite spectrum, you also have Hilde who is conservatively dressed plus you have a bunch of guys in the series that are Shonen esque looking (like Kilik) or half naked (like Maxi). As long as their equal representation, Soul Calibur will not suffer the same fate as the Dead or Alive did when it comes to being taken seriously in the fighting game community.

The fact is: video game designers know that most players are horny males, so they market their games to them to make more money. That is why women are so sexualized in video games. Don't try to deny it.

Soul Calibur character design peaked in SC2. It has been downhill since then.

Remember when they marketed an SC game by showing Ivy's tits and nothing else
