For the longest it has always been in our in entertainment in one form or another. But recently and by recently I'd say the past decade, it's like suddenly people find it offensive. Despite if a game may have multiple characters which have various themes and characteristics, it always seems like people will always have it out for a character with sex appeal regardless of the character.
If they show skin, or might seem "too sexy" suddenly some people get sensitive to these things as if the concept of surrealism flies over their head.
Putting cries of pandering and fetishism aside, How do feel about sex appeal in character design?
Me personally, I love it. I'm a fan sexy. I don't think it defines a character, but I see it as one of many that can make a character appealing, and sometimes sadly, overrated.
Also, I feel that there is a such thing as well executed sex appeal (which doesn't mean covered up or small breasts) and there is also very bad attempts at achieving it (nude means attractive regardless of design/ armor g-string/ etc),
What are some examples you might have that are good/bad ways of approaching it?
Also note that I'm speaking of all types of styles and design, realistic/athrop/chibi/SD/"anime" etc.
And let's try to avoid any Over the Top or unnecessary images and fan art.
