Do you remember Haydee? [NSFW....I guess?]

[Achelexus]

You know, I hear the guy crating this game only embraced the whole "sex sells" thing after some lewd artwork was created of his character.

Seems to me he's not trying to cause a moral panic, but rather just playing the hand his potential market has dealt him. Making the best of what he's got. He seems to take it lightheartedly, in my opinion.

I don't get the feeling that this is as outright or blatant as say, your Quiet-type characters (which are still perfectly fine) I don't realistically see people getting upset because of the design of this character however I wouldn't be surprised if some angry people start filling diapers over this character. The internet is where you go for unrealistic human reaction, after all.

At this point, developers seem to be noticing that you can just capitalize on people who get easily outraged over trivial things to do the marketing for you. It's a smart move, kind of.

I think the 4-koma Manga version is great in my opinion.
Well the formula to make a joke get old fast, but the pay off are always solid.
Wait, Love-Ru? The avatar isn't from this.

The avatar is from A Certain Magical Index (or the Railgun spinoff, I can't remember which exactly), and I don't remember there being any 4-koma manga for either of them. Though, again, It's been a while since I've bothered to care about the series so maybe there is one now. To Love-Ru only came up as a reference to the sort of nonsense that dragged the series down in my opinion.

Oh wow.
Then I am truly sorry because I made a terrible mistake.
The character you have for avatar look like EXACTLY like a character in 4-koma I used to read.
I don't remember its name, but it was a story of agirl to win the heart of a fuu who is drawing doujins.
Hilarious cpmic as I said.

EDIT: I REMEMBERED! It is from Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun the girl I told you.

Huh. She looks a lot more pleasant than Kuroko. Less likely to kill you for talking to her senpai at least.

That's... not sexy. Not to me. At all.

Not even on a bare minimum baseline glassy-eyed-blond-pronstars-pretending-to-orgasm level.

It feels like stumbling across someone else's porn that caters to a fetish so obscure I wouldn't even recognize it as such if it wasn't for the prominently visible butt.

Yeah, tits and ass is a really obscure fetish.

Only when they aren't attached to a human body (at least until sex-bots become a thing).

Nope, not obscure in any context. Nice fake outrage, though.

You're right. Still, most people prefer them attached to a woman.

Entirely irrelevant to the question of whether or not a given fetish is obscure. It's thinly-veiled kink-shaming behind a facade of feigned innocence and ignorance.

[Here Comes Tomorrow]

It just speaks to me, more than anything, of incompetent character design. If the effort was to make a quirky but sexy character, they've failed; she's a blandish imitation of ipod/Portal robot design, combined with unconvincing jiggle physics and comical body proportions. If she was meant to be a weird robot who is sexy within the context of the world (that is to say, if she was some sex robot designed by a futuristic, sexist society), it also fails in that I would have a hard time thinking some future pervert would want a woman to look like this - they've surely want something with an impossibly shaped anime girl or superhero body? To take Bayonetta for example, a lot of players don't actually find her sexy, but they can still easily buy the idea that she is meant to be sexy and is convincingly sexy to the people in her world. Looking at this game though, I have no idea what the devs are trying to say.

Whatever the intention was of the character design, it fails. And its exacerbated by an overly close third person view in a game that appears to be platforming based, whilst in tight tiny rooms. That probably annoys me more than any issues one could have with sexist videogame characters.

Not seen many fertility goddess statues, have you?

Surely, anyone who disagrees with your opinions must be engaging in satire, since you're perfect and omniscient.

It's kink-shaming.

 

[Gengisgame]

When compared to what exactly?

When compared to something that can be posted as a snide reply to criticism of female representation in video games and actually be convincing.

Other poster was spot on with the Guybrush Threepwood comment.

To simplify the Guybrush argument, every female character is a representation of all women. Here you are in a thread criticizing the idea of a sexualized female character in a game that was clearly not made for you so your proving that point.

 

[Paragon Fury]

Of course I remember this game! It has the weird blancmange boob woman with no face in it! How could I forget.

I'm concerned for anyone who finds that thing sexy.

To be entirely honest, this game could be brilliant and I still wouldn't play it because I have no interest in playing as a faceless boob monster.

Right. I know, who could ever find something so blatantly not-sexy sexy, right? Right. Right.

*cough*

(OH MAN THAT BOOTY. Also, it looks incredibly frustrating to play.)

And I am concerned for anyone so lacking in empathy that they can't even conceive of other people enjoying things that they don't enjoy.

Uh huh. Which is why my post ended in "if it wasn't for the prominently visible butt".

It's the being attached to a faceless shooty robot that makes me think of obscure fetish porn.

It's like if someone tried to make an orchard sexy by nailing a rubber arse to each tree.

But you don't actually think it's obscure; you believe that people with a fetish for robots (or tress with butts, or whatever the case may be) are wrong. Bad. Lacking. Whatever word you want to use, the point is that you're trying to mask the fact that you associate negative value with this fetish with a confused and incredulous persona.

There's no need to indicate that you don't understand a fetish. A fetish, by its nature, can't be understood by someone who doesn't have it. It's like trying to justify why someone likes the taste of tomatoes. There's some chemical stuff going on in the brain, sure, but there isn't a "reason" in the sense of clear cause and effect.

But not being able to understand doesn't preclude us from empathizing with a person who has that fetish. Nor does it follow that we should look down on them. Which you are. Don't bother trying to obfuscate.

Well, I wasn't confused and incredulous before, but your post quickly changed that.

So, uhh... please quote the exact part where I said anything even mildly critical or kink-shamey about people who like robot butts.
