I don't think she looks like a ballerina. I like the fashion. I dunno.

Doesn't mean it's perfect, but Izanagi isn't wrong. "It's hot" is not the only reason to like that outfit.
D:
That doesn't preclude other reasons for liking her design, is the important point.But it's pretty telling that, like, 95% of the fanart is about her showing her ass. It may not be the only reason but it's certainly the most defining one.

Surprise the internet likes being pervy, if fanart is the barometer of why people like something, nothing is going to pass this test. We even managed to get a butt into splatoon apparently. You can find fanart other than butt 2b, but I will also admit it become something of a memeBut it's pretty telling that, like, 95% of the fanart is about her showing her ass. It may not be the only reason but it's certainly the most defining one.
That's really what I don't get. How does a ballerina come across as "badass", anyway? It has the 100% opposite effect on me. I don't see "she must be a badass android", I see "she must be ready for her Babymetal concert". Literally the opposite of badass, lol.

Yeah. I actively dislike the thigh/butt stuff and would love for it not to be part of the design because I think it brings it down, but I'm really into that silhouette, colour scheme and aesthetics otherwise (9S too). I read it as a cool mix of campy, graceful, and hyper-fem, so I think it has a sort of gay male appeal (!the gay male gaze alert!). But me enjoying the design while specifically rejecting some of the more overtly sexual aspects doesn't change the fact that just now when I Google image searched for the character I saw a lot of contrived poses and racy fan art. It's a design that I could enjoy so much more if it didn't have that baggage that comes, by his own admission, from the creator's penchant for women's butts.I'm not dismissing the are other reasons to like her design, or it's not my intention atleast, just that one of the aspect resonated the most in a lot of people, and you can see it pratically every fanart. That doesn't mean, of course, that there are people that can like it for other reasons.
I screeched at this and can't unsee it, but honestly? A dream lqqk for me personally.That's really what I don't get. How does a ballerina come across as "badass", anyway?

I edited my post because I realized you weren't dismissing it, haha. Sorry.

I didn't even know that was a meme.I know there pervy fanart of literally everything, but there's not many games where every thread it gets a lot of "Become ASS gods" and all kind of memes
Btw, I said I wasn't going to be a broken record and here I am again... lol u_u
Hey now everyone let's keep it civil. We don't want anyone's feelings getting hu- OK LEAVE BABY METAL ALONE ALRIGHT?!
Amaterasu is actually genderless, as stated by Kamiya
I didn't even know that was a meme.
(I laughed at the words at least don't hate me.)
As with most Shinto gods, but she'll always be a goddess to me.
You can't separate the quote from the design, though. There is nothing wrong with saying "I like butts" all on its own. But it's one thing for Yoko Taro to say "I like women's butts" and another for him to then go make a female character with a fetishized design, lots of accidental upskirts, an achievement for getting upskirts, and an ability to blow her skirt off so you can see her sexualized butt.
There is objectification in Nier Automata, and his reason for it ("I like butts") doesn't prevent it from being objectification. So in the end, his honest reason results in the same objectification as a dishonest reason.
The fact that Monster Hunter World does this too is an immediate turn-off. On the more extreme end, you have Blade & Soul, which is... I mean... just Google it, I dnno. It's hard to explain in words.I discovered not long ago that in World of Warfrafft there are some pieces of armor that look normal on males but like bikinis on females and that you cant make it look normal, which is annoying.
Then I realised bikini armor is the most used among female characters (mostly played by men).

While playing Xenoblade 2, I just remembered how the original design of Saito had boobs in a more fine way compared to what the 3D model in gaming has. It's a shame because I like Pyra design for the most part with Saito design and in-game but the boobs being much bigger in there bothers me a bit.

.Do not slander or demean Babymetal. They are awesome and far too catchy for their own good.
WTF, they talk about wanting variety, but they still do this double standard crap when an opportunity is staring them in the face. God forbid they even have the VARIANT female Kirin armor not be total cheesecake.It's "funny" how even the cheesecakeTM armor from Monster Hunter (Kirin) has an alternate male character version for players that doesn't want the cheese, but the female character variant doesn't have this luxury.
It's also fashionable as fuck, btw!
I remember seeing a similar image on the internet. It really tells a lot about developers biases in game design.

Edit: Nah, sets that are the same (with color changes) do that for both males and females, fortunately.

Hahaha Babymetal is really amazing.
They are alight. I wish they had went with the season 4 and 5 outfits though. They are much better IMO.So I'm curious what do the people on this thread think of team RWBY's designs now that they've all been revealed for Cross Tag Battle.
Just something I've been wandering about as I quite like the show.
I like that they went with the more classic designs, I hope this game turns out goodSo I'm curious what do the people on this thread think of team RWBY's designs now that they've all been revealed for Cross Tag Battle.

I don't know what this thing is. But the poses irk me, especially the boobs-and-butt pose on the last one (and high heels for what I'm assuming is a combat role).
Eh, it's not really better. It just shows that the designers/artists know high heels are stupid for combatant, but put them in anyway. So they don't even have the "oh I wasn't really thinking about that I just thought it looked cool" excuse (not that it'd be much of one, lol).Heh funnily enough the show actually makes fun of that last one. Ruby is terrible at walking with heels and questions how Weiss is capable of fighting while wearing them.
Not trying to justify the design if you don't like that element I just found it amusing as you don't often see characters in a "combat heels" show having difficulty with them.
Note that female Charrs don't even have visible breasts, even though it would make 100% sense for them to have them, as upright mammals.

Keep in mind, these are ArcSys renditions of these outfits as well, so the poses are very anime pinup.the third girl is trying her best to be sure we are looking at her ass lol but that's more of a pose thing, design-wise they're ok IMO (heels aside). 2anime4me though :/
