You have an interesting point about games not having the critical or creative vocabulary that they need yet, and it almost feels like we're in a chicken-egg loop here. Can't elevate discussion above the juvenile without the proper vocabulary of critique or language of game design being somewhat more coalesced than it is just yet, but you can't easily develop that terminology unless there're enough people willing to have discourse about the medium as more than a child's toy. I feel like we're getting there, but I also fear that I may not live long enough to see games widely discussed in an academic capacity.
On the more juvenile front, I know how much you love zettai ryouiki, Morrigan , so I thought you might get a kick out of something I saw the Xenoblade 2 OT that's probably going to make some dudes a little more uncomfortable than they already were within the next week or two.
Can't write it off as a wetsuit when he's wearing armor now. Heck, I think the shorts got shorter. :^) Zettai ryouiki thighboot armor is leaking across the sex divide!
They really, really do. I do wonder how much of it is conscious marketing decisions and how much is a recursive loop of otaku artists pandering to themselves after coming up on art from otaku artists. Perhaps we'll never know.
