The DualSense seems to be developing quite the fan art following ...

I would actually like to see an astrobot style game with these as characters
There's a wide gulf between "not being excited about several pieces of fanart of a console controller that makes it look like a sexualized teenager" and "bitter about life."
Thread might get locked, but it was worth it just for some of the hilarious responses lmaooo!
Yo dead ass this is dope. Wow.
I disagree. If it's not to your taste then ignore it. I think some folks are dead set on projecting their view of whats acceptable and not on other people (in this case artists having some fun). Personally, I dont love all the art. I agree that some is overly sexualized. I still think it's great that people are excited about a controller, even more so during a time when we're all a bit anxious and stuck at home.
That's the only thing that could save this thread ... that and the Goose one.
But this one more.
The robot and mecha ones look dope.
Of course most of the rest is the usual thirsty gamer weeb stuff...

This is the best one!
So your metric for whether or not someone is bitter about life is how much they enjoy objectification? Get a grip. For you "artists having some fun drawing sexualized teenagers" may be ok but don't blame others for finding it creepy & incredibly offputting. One of them straight up drew the touch pad on the crotch, it's creepy, the people who drew shit like that are creepy. 🤷♂️

At this point, it is safe to say that the DualSense wins the aware for most "MOE!" controller.
Is that word still used in the anime circles? I'm a decade behind the lingo-curve.

This will be the second next gen controller thread I ignore.... Seriously.
All the people acting like horny art for a controller is somehow new have clearly never gazed into the abyss that was the Switch Dog...
I have "a grip". Secondly, I did not write "artists having some fun drawing sexualized teenagers" so do not put it in quotes, those are your words. My point was more general and suggested that folks should have fun with gaming in general. You can appreciate people's excitement for something even if a portion of the art is not to your taste. If you find it creepy, that's great. I find no issue with that. Not everyone does. That's also okay.
Why would they be, it's literally free advertising. For everyone in here being grumpy about the horny artwork, there's probably dozens of people either actively enjoying it or casually being indifferent to it, but it all contributes to creating mindshare.
I don't even think the controller looks that great, but people are LOVING it. Sony has so much free mindshare as it is, it's kind of ridiculous.
Yeah must be rough having all that social media exposure that cost them virtually nothing in ad spending.
So you're excluding all of the sexualized teenager art that is the majority of the OP then when you say "artists having fun" ?
There's a wild gulf between "having fun with gaming" and "fetishizing controllers and imagining them as objectified teens"
Literally the majority of the OP is the reason we have threads like this:
Why women criticise sexualised character designs |OT2| I have no pants and I must scream (READ OP) OT

Call a spade a spade. It's creepy. There's nothing endearing about this shit my dude:
It doesn't matter if the people who lack the self awareness to see why it's creepy don't find it creepy. If the majority of the art was like the goose one or nooblet's, there'd be no issue.
I knew this was going to happen
also I will now only see the create button as a dedicated goose honk button LMAO

I completely get where you're coming from. For example, I completely agree that overly sexualized character designs are a problem. To combat that, I simply don't support them, whether its through not purchasing their game, not liking a social media post, etc. Over time, with consensus, and through the avoidance of media you find distasteful, ideas about what is acceptable change.
Coming back to the OP, I don't find it creepy myself but rather distasteful in some cases, silly in others. That's all I'm getting at.
