I mean, reddit bait aside, there is a genuine issue with making games and characters designed for the specific goal to capture the male gaze. We are in 2024 for fricks sake, there is more to female characters than their looks, and its time we start forcing developers to understand that
There isnt a game developed in human history that was made better because the female character was attractive. If you replace, say, Bayonetta with an average looking female, the game plays and reviews the same. This is again circling back to the male gaze issue. We dont need attractive characters defining our experiences
>there is more to female characters than their looks, and its time we start forcing developers to understand that
Maybe they should write better characters so that physical appearance doesn't become the only thing the audience takes away after they finish the game.
tell me you havent played female led video games in the last decade without telling me
>there is more to female characters than their looks
Reality proves that there is nothing more to women than their looks
then go jerk off to porn, your "opinions" have no basis in the real world
i know bait but ugly characters make the player experience actively worse for women and men. forcing women to pay as ugly characters is gross to them. make it an option but dont force it on sane people.
>there is more to female characters than their looks, and its time we start forcing developers to understand that
Maybe they should write better characters so that physical appearance doesn't become the only thing the audience takes away after they finish the game.
The way I see it, it's basically the natural consequence of morons rocking the boat. If you didn't want to see this game get made, then maybe you shouldn't have demonized anything remotely attractive to begin with. I'm not even getting it but the losers that b***h about it have 0 self awareness of what led up to it.
>I mean, reddit bait aside, there is a genuine issue with making games and characters designed for the specific goal to capture the male gaze. We are in 2024 for fricks sake, there is more to female characters than their looks, and its time we start forcing developers to understand that
There's no wonder you people are so dumb with the amount of bullshit that comes out of your mouths.
https://www.psypost.org/sexualized-video-games-are-not-causing-harm-to-male-or-female-players-according-to-new-research/
Funny how people spent decades tirelessly studying video games and finally concluded that the medium didn't cause RL violence with so many published papers and such only for them to go into this industry-wide amnesia when sexuality is involved in the big picture.
I don't understand this logic. It's true that it is now [CURRENT YEAR] and there's more to characters than their looks. But at the same time, does this mean that characters can NEVER be attractive? That a character is not ALLOWED to have looks going for her? It's one thing to want characters that are more than looks. It's another to demand that there be no characters with good looks ever again.
Because feminists think it turns you into a rapist.
They wont say this straight up now, because they can't prove it, and they keep losing that argument, but this is the basis of the whole thing.
That, OR they just don't want you to have things that make you happy, which is just as common with miserable women.
Nice bait.
I personally don't need every female character to be good looking but at the same time I don't mind if they are either.
Stellar Blade is pretty unashamedly a coomer game and know what? That's fine. The problem is morons saying that EVERY OTHER game also has to be a coomer game or other morons saying that NO game should be a coomer game.
>he thinks leftists care about women or anyone they use as shields to get into power
The purpose is to get their people in control, if they have to lie, cheat and steal it doesn't matter. The end justifies the means and the end is them in power. >b-but how can psychopaths be so caring and loving?
If they came for you with a club or a knife it would be too obvious, wouldn't it? This isn't year 500 anymore.
Agreed. In fact, we should start making games with little girls as the main characters to drive this point home. If you can't play a game's story because the sexy main character isn't an adult but instead a child then you shouldn't be gaming.
Even though you're memeing, you're actually right. But Stellar Blade is just a shitty coomer game with souls like play, it's really nothing to freak out about. >Muh sexuality bad
Vidya doesn't have to be porn, by god damn.
>But Stellar Blade is just a shitty coomer game
K, lemme enjoy my "shitty coomer game", it'll fail anyway right so why are you so against it releasing?
Good Lord you really believe there haven't been games that are good that focus more on the woman and not looks? Mostly males game, girls need to look good or it won't go well. No one wants to be a fat, ugly, moron in a game. It's he way it is.
Based. How would these incels like if devs started making games with naked dudes wearing shorts, with camera constantly focusing on their bulge and nips?
They do. Tekken 8 for example does that, and Baldur's Gate 3 has dick physics. No one would care if not for the hypocrisy of why it's horrible if you had breast physics.
Also note that all the game journalists were swooning over Baldur's Gate 3 homosexualry and dick physics. At some point you realize that these critiques are driven by mentally ill, spiteful mutants, who for some reason have gravitated to videogame writing in the past 10+ years.
>there is more to female characters than their looks
Like what? I've played those girlboss games and there's nothing there.
Based. How would these incels like if devs started making games with naked dudes wearing shorts, with camera constantly focusing on their bulge and nips?
They were doing it 30+ years ago, ever hear of Cho-Aniki?
I disagree, for one obvious reason: Feminism and political-correctedness needs to be propped up artificially for it to function. It's not an organic movement.
If not for constant support and neutering of alternative viewpoints, they would be torn apart. A 'just' society doesn't naturally emerge, most people are racist, sexist and homophobic (I proudly admit to be all three). This is why it seems deeply unnatural, because people don't normally behave this way.
The best analogy I can give is that they're trying to teach carnivorous animals to eat grass, and give them an electric shock every time they eat meat. The animal isn't happy, he craves red meat and hot blood, but he's kept in line by electric shocks.
If the power ever goes out, he'll go right for your throat.
so why should I be ashamed of my sexual preferences, you fricking israelite Black person?
I know heterosexuality triggers them, but what fricking double standard Black folk.
Lots of anime is censored in many ways compared to their original version. Visible nipples that were in a manga are removed, pussy seen through pants removed...
I swear since IP count removal this place became a landfill for various mentally ill discord groups, raiding and dumping their fringe political ideologies on the board, as you can no longer tell if you have an actual discussion with various people, or argue with two adderall addicted subhumans bumping their own thread
>male gaze >men look at women to determine if they're capable of surviving pregnancy and giving birth to healthy babies, and that's bad
These stupid fricks never opened a biology book in their lives. Only woo woo new age shit, "oppression" language, all because a dude looks at a woman to decide if she's attractive or not.
Women do this same shit too, they look at men and if they don't look like they can protect her, then she's not interested. If he's scrawny and weak physically, he's not attractive, it's that simple. Should we start b***hing about "female gaze" now?
Newsflash, "male gaze" is how men work, because those who weren't interested in women's bodies as much, impregnated ill or high mutational load women who then gave birth to weak children who died shortly after childbirth.
If you're not insane, stop pandering to these feminist idiots who think you can give a wienertail of drugs to a man and months later "she" can give birth to healthy children. They're fricking insane, all of them, top to bottom insane. Just because they don't go out of their houses with their pants on their heads, it doesn't mean they're not totally gone upstairs.
>muh sexual object
Nobody called women objects until the feminists came around. No fricking man goes around thinking >uhhh these fricking sexual objects, i want to frick objects
Holy fricking banana world, unhinged freaks who look like crap getting to call shots? Really? No, you stupid fricks, men looking at women who look like they can make people successfully because they have wide hips, aka giving birth easily, fat asses aka food for the child's brain, big breasts aka her hormones are working well, everything about "male gaze" is about reproduction but of course the freak brigade who goes around passing castration chemicals to children is obsessed with stopping reproduction by sabotaging shit left and right culturally.
Well said. The whole sexual object thing is crazy. Any rational male doesn't just want sex, but a man that wants sex is seen as only wanting sex (which also, given your points about raising children, is perfectly fine). it's these idiot jealous feminists who generalize the sex appeal of these characters. yet they themselves are the same people who will call someone a prude who thinks it's weird how women are dressing less and less (there's that reddit post from this week). so it's just jealous women and simp males who agree with them. don't forget sex work is real work guys! lmfao
-Games should be for everyone, no matter their gender, race or sexual preferences!
-OK, I like sexy b***hes in my games.
-Let me rephrase, games should be for everyone expect YOU
Don't reply to this absolute mouthbreathing moron. Just a few months ago he was raging about japan and some kishida dude apparently banning bikinis in japan, now he's raging about korea. I'm pretty sure he infests nikke threads aswell and complains about 2 characters called "blanc and noir" by saying that they should be named blanc and negra or some moronic shit like this.
Women have always been raped in history and been a sexual object for man. It is just the new age with equality and more rights that has invented the term "male gaze." I mean, wtf, men are legit engineered to be attracted towards females because we instinctively want to reproduce. We are animals, and likewise women want to be plowed by a strong man attractive man. This is why gay and lgtbq is mental illness
I mean, reddit bait aside, there is a genuine issue with making games and characters designed for the specific goal to capture the male gaze. We are in 2024 for fricks sake, there is more to female characters than their looks, and its time we start forcing developers to understand that

then go jerk off to porn, your "opinions" have no basis in the real world
Tell me you don't play video games AT ALL without telling me.
Bait like this is really good, I almost felt like replying earnestly.
No it's the most obvious and low quality one there is. There are no arguments, just impotent anger spouting nonsense.
the male gaze isnt an issue, never was, never is going to be. Its just some madeup gaslight
>I can rape a girl just by staring at her
Why'd nobody tell me I had this superpower?!
i know bait but ugly characters make the player experience actively worse for women and men. forcing women to pay as ugly characters is gross to them. make it an option but dont force it on sane people.

The only issue here is that you're still breathing.

I’ve slept with 12 women and have been married twice. There is nothing more to women than the male gaze

why does the most obvious bait get more and more replies every time I visit this shithole
I'll let you in on a secret... they reply to themselves! Did that blow your mind?
How comes nobody believes the science?

didn't need a study to tell you that. it's pretty horrifying to see it in person
Wow, thank you Science!, we needed a study for that.
Agreed. In fact, we should start making games with little girls as the main characters to drive this point home. If you can't play a game's story because the sexy main character isn't an adult but instead a child then you shouldn't be gaming.
End rant.
I'm gonna have to agree on this one. More scantily clad e-girls as protagonists.
Nah, they should be companions, a whole party of them in fact
Now that I shonk about it, why is it okay for games like Zelda to have shotas as protagonists, but modern games can't have e-girls? Wtf?
say that again with all the frick females that cosplay said character to be male gazed you frick homosexual.
ThEy Do IT FoR ThEmSeLVEs, NOt FoR tHE MeN
Make female characters invisible then.
based npc replying to bait post, holy based
>This comment made me mad, I'm going to call this chud an npc.
no really, you replied to hours old bait. it's imperative that you learn to NOT take the bait and become sentient
Not my problem
I don't play fiction to look at landwhales. Having a hot character and a well-written character is not mutually exclusive, roastie.
Weak bait, still, you cannot fight against human nature, you cannot rewrite history, you will never ever be a woman
>are in 2024 for fricks sake, there is more to female characters than their looks
The proliferation of onlyfans says otherwise.
this. even those ultra oversexualized videogame or anime characters have more personality than an average onlyfans or tiktok hoe
Even though you're memeing, you're actually right. But Stellar Blade is just a shitty coomer game with souls like play, it's really nothing to freak out about.
>Muh sexuality bad

>all these people replying to a fricking chatgpt bot
come on guys
what does it matter if ONE game is made for men?
Just dont play it, duhc.
Based. How would these incels like if devs started making games with naked dudes wearing shorts, with camera constantly focusing on their bulge and nips?

>Japan is done
You wish, troon
I'll take the one on the right, I hope her dinner plate nips are sensitive
to these types is the male gaze the male equivalent of pic related?
Why aren't people whining about the term "Male Gaze"? It implies that lesbians don't exist. Isn't that exclusionary or some other stupid thing?
Lots of anime is censored in many ways compared to their original version. Visible nipples that were in a manga are removed, pussy seen through pants removed...
>sex bad
I hate whoever thinks that way
why do leftists have such big issues with other peoples sexuality?
You don't even like p3 and you were shitting on Tifa and you are now defending her kek
I bet you are that Ednagay
thats not what male gaze means
I swear since IP count removal this place became a landfill for various mentally ill discord groups, raiding and dumping their fringe political ideologies on the board, as you can no longer tell if you have an actual discussion with various people, or argue with two adderall addicted subhumans bumping their own thread
Its easily one of the worst decisions they could have ever made. There better be an extension to rectify this blunder.
That's why they did it, site admins are trannies
Kill all urinalists
Behead all uniralists
I'll be buying Stellar Blade and there's absolutely NOTHING that trannies, feminists, leftists and wokies can do about it.
Literally made for the male gaze. Disgusting.

idk he's seems genuine and wholesome to me. you on the other hand seem angry and schizophrenic what with your aggressive head-canon
Yeah sure, Black person. Here's one of your other posts from 7 days ago when he was raging about japan again.
Just fricking look at this mess.

a quick perusal of your link proves that bikanon is indeed a freedom fighter for all of Asia and the world. the righteous oppose femoid-sharia
Interestingly those women complaining about male gaze probably never get gazed by male

You shut the frick up already. Cite a goddamn law that proves this video wrong.
Lmao, Japan is done. Only Stellar Blade and Blue Archive is good these days

comedy
Why did the devs start shilling troons?
Shiftup went woke
Was that before or after these 2?
Women have always been raped in history and been a sexual object for man. It is just the new age with equality and more rights that has invented the term "male gaze." I mean, wtf, men are legit engineered to be attracted towards females because we instinctively want to reproduce. We are animals, and likewise women want to be plowed by a strong man attractive man. This is why gay and lgtbq is mental illness
