starchylemming@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoeh, sounds like an accidental noting burger.
these games are taking inclusion steps. but that doesn’t mean they need to stop catering for the majority. its still art made by humans and their own preferences find a way in

The majority of people are normal boring standard ass people.
The entire reason the queer community is called queer is because explicitly they are different from that over whelming mass of people.
You gotta have a base line to have differences after all. Someone has to be the boring ass NPC!
And there ain’t nothing wrong with that. Some people are vanilla as fuck others are fabulous as fuck. Some are both!

The usage of the virtual camera in cyberpunk described above is textbook male gaze. Male gaze is specifically about how people aim cameras (in this case virtual cameras) with the assumption that the audience is primarily composed of cisgender, heterosexual men. It seems like you are making this same assumption here when you say “catering for the majority,” especially consiering data shows a roughly 50/50 split: statista.com/…/gender-split-of-us-computer-and-vi…

Any device
That’s too broad to be meaningful,since it ignores mobile vs console vs PC preference

Catering to the majority is a little wild of a statement. There are a lot of games I’d be embarrassed to play in public because they cater too hard to the lonely, horny dude demographic.
Its fine to put that stuff in but devs should be making it optional so people can play shit in public spaces.

Yeah, it’s the immediate assumption that the male gaze is the majority.

In most studies most women and most men prefer looking at female nudity.
It’s just an unfortunate condition of how we’re wired. We all like looking at conventionally attractive women. Even straight women. So that will always be the default in any game with artists selected at random from the general artistic population.

Not how we’re wired, how patriarchy views both forms. Seriously, you can’t just put up a study that confirms an assumption of patriarchy without acknowledging that it is, on some level, circular logic.
Patriarchy is the dominant worldview, patriarchy says that beauty is a feminine trait, most people agree that women are more beautiful than men. All that proves is that most people accept the patriarchal definition of beauty.
If you conducted this same study in ancient Greece, would you expect the same result? If no, then cultural views of beauty play a big role in this. If yes, then why were the ancient Greeks obsessed with male nudity?

Let’s face it, women are straight up beautiful. Like, outside of a sexual or “treating like an object” point of view, they do hold inherent beauty that men only seem to compare in Greek statues.

Women gamers tho tend to clump up in very different genre perfences then men. So there is a lot of fucking nuance to that.
The majority of the biggest block buster games tend to be very dominated by games that land in the male dominated spaces.
Also men and women both almost always prefer female nudity over male even among straight women. Its a very common fun fact about sex marketing in media.
Been that way basically forever. Well before modern times even.
