Bishounen 4 lyfe

Isn't that why people were mad at that one game that came out a few years ago? Because Dante didn't look like a girl?

honestly, i doubt that there doesn't exist a very strong correlation between anime fans and people who didn't like dmc

dmc didn't have all of those tropes and other tendencies that people who're into anime crave

I don't think Dante ever looked like a girl to me he looked like a neckbeard's fantasy of what a badass looks like.

Yeah, I couldn't give a shit about the DMC storyline or characters. I played that reboot just because it was free on PS+. It was very much an edgy badass fantasy for teenage boys.

I mean, the game literally starts with Dante going home with two strippers who blow him in the taxi and then fuck him in his trailer.

Where was Dante in the trailer? I didn't notice him.

DMC was always anime as fuck, so it's "rules" were never bound by reality. Yeah, someone dressing like Dante irl would be rightfully subject to mockery, but it's an over-the-top fantasy that never took itself 100% seriously, who gives a fuck?

No what I'm saying is he didn't fit the stereotypical anime 16 year old pretty boy with sweepy hair. He actually just looked like a regular frat boy that happened to have long white hair, but it always looked a bit silly on him to me.

They never looked cool to me, not before, not now. I do like their cocky attitudes though, but their looks just make me laugh at how absurd they are.

As long as the gameplay delivers I'm in
