I could get behind maybe the way she talks as some infantilization thing but there'sAs for Paz, she's in her 20s at that point and didn't look all that underage to me. She just has a small body type. Not all women are big and she's not that much different from my 37 year old gf who is only 5'2 and very slim.
kind of a story reason for that
dig inside her own stomach.
I agree the 'you must just be a prude' thing is a bad excuse, it's obviously not always a celebration of the female form, but it probably can be some times.These characters aren't real. They cannot make their own decisions. They are not "women with agency" or "choosing their wardrobe", they are deliberately designed creations with the express intent of titilation for no other reason than for titilation. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't A) heavily skewed towards a male demographic and B) heavily skewed towards women taking the brunt of the fan servicing. They are designed in a mostly male vacuum, from a mostly male perspective, and born in a mostly male dominated corporate culture.
So many of us (mostly men) take for granted just how goddamn pandered to we are, in ways that we don't even think about anymore. How many memes has Miranda's ass from Mass Effect created, and how many other asses have we completely glossed over and not even realize were there, but for a woman was yet another tick mark on the "another goddamn ass" list?
But what's the idea just pause fan service until we get to some acceptable gender split in development, writing, and the board room and come around creating games with fan servicing that has equally heterosexual/homosexual and equally male/female audiences? Also I guess we wait for it to happen in Japan? I mean, I and a lot other people are not going to stop enjoying the pandering because of the inequity in pandering, the same way conflict in the middle east doesn't make me stop putting gas in my car.
I think the whole idea of being 'against' fan service just leads to a lot of nit picking as well. Like earlier some Overwatch art got criticized for being escher and too boob socky? I honestly couldn't see it at all, I thought the stuff looked fine, and I felt like because it looked fine people were working extra hard to find an issue with it. It just seemed like some throwing shit to see what sticks.
I think games are getting better, but I don't think it's going to happen fast or soon and I'm just not going to start swearing off certain foreign games over it. Actually I really doubt my purchasing habits are driving any Japanese trends. Also for reference here is my FFXIV character, which is actually a really good game I think in regards to MMO gear for male/female
Me in the back of course.
Change like that does not "come naturally". It has to be fought for. Like people are fighting you in this thread.
Actually I would say there is a pretty big divide between a gender revolution in Japan and the posts on this forum.
