Peak virgin commentary.

Personally, I'm just happy they finally show some muscle mass; Fio's been trying to bulk up in-story ever since Eri expressed disappointment with her on their first joint mission, so that development has been over 20 years in the making.

People really get upset when a game tries to look appealing to male players in even the slightest way

I wouldn't go that far they looked far better in the arcade games. The sprites look good but the character png looks off from past games.

So liking pretty women is correlated to the act of engaging in a carnal relationship?

What is that mental gymnastic?

[NixEmotions]

it's silly how the moderation staff will leave this thread up, but delete the thread TWICE about being in "lesbians" with Fio, an obvious nod to a Scott Pilgrim quote, but also an appreciation thread for the female characters in the game from the perspective of lesbian women. the male gaze bias for women in video games is so milquetoast. us lesbians like hot women too, can you please stop silencing us?

Then why western games tried to stop the "male gaze"?

partial nevermind, the new thread didn't get deleted, just buried. but the original thread WAS deleted from awhile back.

in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Scott accidentally says he's in "lesbians" with a girl instead of in love with her.

In answer to your question, probably because the Western game market is trying to cater to straight cis women and appear inoffensive, rather than catering to straight men and actual LGBT women.

I'm loving all the art design so far, the artists are doing a GREAT job!

Based thread

[Endlave]

Amen, brother. This game looks gorgous and the women are no exception :D

[tentaclemage]

Agree, Fio especially is a total babe and she's useful in fights once you get used to get abilities.

Because male gaze is toxic.
1) Players are not men only.
2) How women are represented in games has an impact on real life. Especially when you guys say "yeah, women should be pretty and look like THIS"
