Maybe they just like those things. It's risqueness makes it appealing for them.
That ice one is bad but at least she's not a child like this one.
I hate the bunny girl one more because this I at least know what it's going for. There are even parts of it the outfit that are kind of sleek. I genuinely do not know if the bunny girl is meant to be sexy or grotesque. It very much grosses me out.That ice one is bad but at least she's not a child like this one.
I think marginalizing an artists work as "only for money", particularly in the intensely personal doujin scene, does a huge disservice to the artist creative autonomy.
Dunno if this has been posted but just saw this on twitter.
I generally dont mind tiddies in videogames, but bwahaha... this is pretty ridiculous.
Yeah, I'm always disappointed when people automatically assume if an erotic artist is female that she's being forced to do it, or that it's for the money. Just look at Kinuko from the Lab Zero team - she likes drawing erotic gore and pinup girls all the time in her free time, too. She's not being forced to do it or anything.
Oh yeah yeah yeah! To clarify - I didn't think you were fully making that assertion after the first part of your post, I just see that sentiment a lot, particularly in the video game sphere, and it genuinely bothers me how dehumanizing that projection is.
Hey man, women can be perverts too. Some Japanese female artists are especially open about their perversions, whether it be towards drawing sexy women or men.
not impossible, I mean, 50 Shades of Gray is popular as fuck and that is basically women submission
Gigantic ass, gigantic tits, literally impossible curves, and a very cute face. Those sorta see-thru clothes are hot as well.
is not...???
so, when/if a woman goes out on the street dressed however she wants its acceptable, she is not being an slut, or "asking for it", they are free to live their life however they please
"I like my girls like I like my slinkies: curved into the shape of a spring."
I was speaking generally when people would name female designers to get away with calling a design misogynistic.
I'm not seeing seductive there. In the body and the attire, sure, but not in the face. And this is the last I'm gonna comment on her in this thread; no need to derail farther.
the point is brought up cause in almost any occasion that a design is "problematic", the 1st idea that will jump to mind that it was likely made by a horny male. and anything depicting a woman done by a men is instantly wrong in most scenarios.
It's porn. Considering it's from a woman's mind, it's more often than not a projection of her sexual fantasies. Women can also objectify women as well, many risqué designs from Japan originate from women. We can agree that oversexualization for women is bad when female designs are typically sexualized and that body diversity/less sexualized versions should be more plentiful, but we should also understand that an oversexualized design is not inherently misogynistic.
I felt disgusted for knowing who you're talking about. Those kind of fucked up shit should stay as niche and far away as possible from mainstream entertainment.
Lmao.
Please look forward to Xenoblade Chronicles X2 and its artist collaborations.
Wait, what? That's a whole other can of worms, but no. Just no. Statement has white nationalist talking point BS smell to it.
It's pretty much a fact that the pandering hurt their marketability. Only being able to market to otaku tastes has limited their market to an extremely small subculture within Japan. I don't think most game devs would be thrilled about having to market to such a small audience. It means your market is extremely limited domestically, and that you can only really hope for success by metrics that don't depend on the Japanese market, because the Japanese market is completely stagnant. It's not that a company like Square doesn't want to expand, but they can't expand the otaku market. As a result, Japanese games have to go abroad if they want to expand their games market. The Japanese games market basically buried themselves by deciding to appeal to that small subculture domestically, and it's now a hole so deep that it's difficult to escape the stigma they've spent decades building up.
Good god. This wasn't meant to be sexy/attractive, right? It's horrendous. Pyra was bad enough, this is next level bad.Dunno if this has been posted but just saw this on twitter.
