So this came up a while ago, and it’s definitely not the first time that its been noticed that there is a wide disparity between over sexualized, and what people find sexy.

This was again particularly highlighted when Capital-G Gamers got mad that Ghost of Yotei was designed with story and gameplay in mind over sexualization and pandering.

I present to you, memes posted unironically by that crowd:

(This crowd is still mad couldn’t Erika Ishii removed from the game, even though they did succeed in harassing a developer into unemployment over a joke.)

The upside of this is, it did lead to some of the funniest actual satire I’ve seen in a while.

Still stand by this, btw. So much of the “sexiness” these type of gamers desire is the equivalent of a teenage boy going through puberty and putting the chest and hips sliders on the character creator as high as they can go with no deeper thought

Like the reason why the Hades 2 Melione bathhouse art is hotter than the Ass Creed Shadows big boob edit is that the exposed collarbones and expression on her face create a sense of intimacy that is inherently alluring and enticing, versus this

Where like… okay the boobs are big and she has makeup now but… so what? It’s a woman with big boobs. I like big boobs. I am a woman with big boobs. But this is just so generic, so thoughtless, with no actual tease or sensuality to it that it means nothing, does nothing, to anyone who isn’t just approaching art from a checklist of DOES THE WOMAN LOOK HOT
