Why is Miyazaki so obsessed?

Why is he obsessed with ♥♥♥♥ so much in these games?

Dung pies in Dark Souls 1&3
gold/blood tinged-excrement in Elden Ring

What is his deal? His love for poop seems a bit concerning.

We all know it's really about feet.

The comment above me says it all. There's lots of things in every game that are similarly themed throughout. Excrement, feet, fingers, eyes, human centipedes, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dogs, etc. You could make that connection with just about anything, the mind sees what it chooses to see.

I'd argue that DOGS is definitely a more prominent theme in this game than anything else really.

We know he really likes feet, tho. He likes to play with the Berserk sword, so it's in several games, too. And he hates hand-things, hence the hand-ogres in DS 3 and the hand-spiders in ER...

He seems to draw upon his life a lot for these games. Maybe dude just has more interesting nightmares than us.

His parents use to always read "Everybody Poops" to him, and it was at that moment he knew what he had to do...

Gotta agree that it's kinda uniqe/strange loot at least - Land octopus ovary, gold-tinged excretement, blood-tainted excretement, crab egg, albinauric bloodclot, slumbering egg, beast blood... Okay, maybe not beast blood, that and things like dragon blood is relatively common for things like potions and such in other fiction...

Up until the 1950's Japanese farmers were still using human manure as fertilizer. Maybe his parents told him stories. Who knows? Japanese are known to be obsessed with cleanliness even more than Germans, so I guess poop would be nightmare material for sure.

Better that than an HR Giger-esque obsession with wieners. I don't think I'd enjoy having to fight the DingDong Executioner in the Redwoody Forest.

Who is this 'HE' ??? One man cannot make a game such as this.

A single man can't make EVERYTHING in a game, no. But a single man can indeed be the one to call the shots on what gets used/included in the game and whatnot...

The answer is simply Japanese culture. 'Kin no unko' or Golden Poo is the symbol of good luck there, they have an entire museum dedicated to poo, and just in general Japanese people don't have the same hang-ups over pooping as western cultures. It only seems strange to us in contrast.
