Why are all the torture victims and corpses male?

[Malagon]

Just wondering why all the dead bodies and torture victims are men, or naked men in some cases. I haven't seen any women in the same situations, the violence seems to be one-sided. Do the devs have something against men? Are they misandrists?

The nuns in the orphanage have the cut-off breasts of female victims stitched to them.

Cool jester bait.

And the rest of the Trial has male victims littered everywhere from dead Reagents used to pick up items, seeing male Reagents (especially the newest Trial) sodomised with wooden planks and hammers. Now, Doris is a female character all players encounter in the game, her very existence implies that other female Reagents are in the trials yet barley are seen dead. And the exception of nuns supposedly possessing the breasts cut from female victims is speculative, right now, the Trial needs more evidence to prove that such violence would be the case for female Reagents.

No person deserves any kind of violence exhibited in the Trials, however, lore is lore and immersion is immersion.

Please give examples and do any of these so-called female victims have wooden planks shoved up their asses? Drill the Futterman has a male victim, Pervert The Futterman has a male victim, Kill the Snitch has a male victim, the corpse being drilled in the face by the child animatronics in Grind the Bad Apples is also male. You have some female victims though often hard to tell either because they have short hair or are bald.

I hope RB updates the game in the future and overhauls some of these Trials for immersion and lore purposes, that also includes gender variety because female Reagents exist in the universe, yet as of now, they share no real presence in the Outlast Trials aside from Doris (who resides in the sleep room and offers perks).

Edit: Open the gates has female torsos nailed to the wall (looks pretty gnarly) but that is a minority compared to the former. The same map (first area upstairs) has entire room full of male corpses stacked in a pile, whilst the next room over, there is a non-damaged woman, it is hard to tell, but there is not a scratch on him/her for some reason.

Female nudity is problematic, you should know this.

In many contexts, yes, but not all of them. Female nudity is often okay so long as it is perceived as "empowering" and doesn't feature a woman who is beautiful in a traditional sense. Some of the female ex-pops are naked, but they're disgusting so it's okay (but I think it makes sense for them to be disgusting given that they are ex-pops). These double standards exist everywhere in gaming. Take for instance the difference in reception between Lady Dimitrescu and Eve from Stellar Blade. Lady D is very large and physically strong, so it's implied she would be dominant in any sort of relationship, which would be considered non-traditional. Some might even call it "queer," so thirsting after her is okay. Eve is very feminine and more conventionally attractive, so thirsting after her is not acceptable. Or consider Baldur's Gate 3, the sex and nudity is done in a way that caters to the sensibilities of western developers and journalists. This gives us the term "safe horny," which is similar to being "safe edgy." You can be horny and edgy so long as it in a way that has been pre-approved and isn't actually offensive or shocking.

It's important to understand the nuance because people will inevitably bring up these examples as a way to gaslight you and pretend this stuff isn't happening.

I'd say they better start improving the female mutilation part, this explanation is bs :D

Yeah this aged poorly to be honest. Franco's trials gave us "double standards" to a good extend. Especially the docks trials.

Does need to play vindicate the guilty

[kawaii bats]

I think it's because most gamers players/developers are male so it's more a relatable horror seeing male genital mutilation. The patients Murkoff takes in outlast were mostly male

also there are female reagent bodies / mutiliated corpses, just far less main victims

[Kutah]

Most idiotic thread ever.

[Rаndo]

Funny in hindsight that this thread was made a few month before Franco, that is pretty much focused on female mutilation (for the most part).

It was accurate when the thread was made. Thankfully the devs listened to people demanding gender equality and added a fairer ratio of male/female victims. I'm all about equality. Well done, Red Barrels.

Thanks for the points, folks.
