I don’t mind sexy girls in my games.

I mean I do and I don’t. Attractive characters can exist, that’s ok, that’s standard. But fan service is cringe and probably exclusionary.

i mind when there’s some weird-ass rationalisation for the creator’s barely disguised fetish. when asked why 2B was styled that way, yoko taro said “i like looking at girls”. when asked why quiet was styled like that, hideo kojima said “when you find out the reason, you will be ashamed of your words and deeds” only for the reason to be fucking nonsense.
just own it man, geez.

Liking pretty women isn’t a fetish

no, but exhibitionism is.

Wearing a bikini top in hot weather isn’t exhibitionism.

Can you really call it exhibitionism if it’s a constructed storyline?
SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 1 month ago
So it licking feet. Nothing to be ashamed of

I’m more surprised that he didn’t make it nanomachines again. That’s not the answer to everything, Hideo!

Can I be real I like it when it’s both.
I have personal characters for stuff and they’re very much designed in a way where I am attracted to them. I think a visually striking appearance is better than looking like a generic lump of metal robot dude. I’ll get out a bullhorn and say “SHES SHAPED LIKE THIS BECAUSE ITS HOT”
At the same time a rational in universe reason they look like that or have xyz feature is also fun and useful for storytelling.

but that’s still owning it! most people like or are fine with sexy characters, as long as it fits the setting. quiet is infamous because not only is she at odds with her environment, the creator actively lambasted people on twitter for pointing that out. quiet is a weird character.

Yeah I’m not arguing in favor of Quiet though. All I’m saying is I like taking ownership of my reasoning combined with at least some semi plausible explanation. I think it’s fair to delineate that from pure “Made a sexy girl because I like sexy girls”.
