Why women criticise sexualised character designs |OT2| I have no pants and I must scream (READ OP)

I don’t think you understand why that was posted.
It’s both an example of someone understanding how clothes actually work (left) and someone not understanding (right). The example on the right is demonstrating boob sock, because of how the costume cups the breast. That’s not how spandex works. Even though the pictures have clothing made of different material, it should look more like the image on the left.
The reason people say “boob sock” is because the thing you have to do to get the effect that the image on the right shows is to build a pocket for each boob into the torso of the costume, creating what amounts to two boob socks that the boobs are fed into.
It doesn’t matter how tight the clothing is, clothing is still clothing. If you want it to perfectly match the curves of the body, you have to specifically engineer the clothing to do that.

Oh not just that, he’s beyond that level of awful and his site is a hatemob. Random slurs thrown about in articles, he partakes in super toxic comment sections and uses said slurs there as people wish death threats on people he pokes fun of in his articles, it’s very vile. Easily the worst website I’ve ever visited.
Without a doubt. 2B’s design was lightning in a bottle whether we like it or not. She’s legit well designed. A site (I think it was Kotaku) not long ago had a feature where real fashion designers were interviewed about their opinions of various videogame characters and their clothes. They made fun of a lot of crappy designs but they all loved 2B’s design.
Well, ok... sure, one answer is more honest than the other. But even going with the more honest answer, what does it tell us about someone’s character when that person chooses to have the fundamentals of its design revolve around useless, heavily sexualized elements?
Maybe this is what the so-called boner culture is referring to...

I went a looking for that article and I think I found it. No 2B in the discussion though they unanimously disliked Quiet!

In terms of Kotaku, I came across another article by a staff writer who praised the outfit. She sounds pretty saavy but not exactly a fashion designer. I think that’s what you came across.

That might be it.
I also want to acknowledge and be thankful that 2B’s personality is the way it was in the game and that they could restraint themselves from making her into a generic anime schoolgirl with the personality of a doormat. She basically behaves very close to what I would’ve imagined Samus was before Other M completely shat all over her.
You heard me, Nintendo? Grab 2B or, better yet, Major Moroni Kisangani from Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex and copy-paste their personalities into Samus and make Other M non canon. You can have this one for free.

How dare you people slander boner culture. I'll not stand by while you attack our boner culture, our boner traditions. Have your ears not been blessed by the Great Boner song or your eyes bare witness to the graceful beauty of the boner dance? I remember as a teenager staying up late on Erectmass Eve patiently waiting for the Boner fairy to arrive to arrive from Argentina with gifts and candy. There is an obvious war on boner culture. Our blessed boners are being removed from Starbucks cups as we speak. We must make a stand here.
It’s barely a take, i was going to post it in response but he doesn’t deserve the clicks, i’ll give you an accurate summary:
“AAAAAH LOOK AT HIM! LOOK AT HER! AAAAAH IT LOOKS SO BAD! FUCK YOUUUU WHY ARE YOU SO WRONG???? FUCK THIS FUCKT THAT OH THE SKY IS SO UGLYYYY LOOOK AT THIIS”
Really, its literally him screeming this for 1:24 minutes

Admitted lolicon Digibro is furious that JoJo Part 5 won Crunchyroll's award for best character designs.
He's just having a meltdown about the whole thing.
Also he accused JoJo "stans" of being "12 years old" which led to the first reply to that tweet being "so that means you want to fuck them?" which was pretty good.

Although I appreciate the fact he's starting to empathize with feminists, he's still gotta come around to appreciating part 5's designs. Bruno's outfit is pretty much just a Prince getup and his whole aesthetic is fantastic.
Edit: now that I think about it, Jojo is literally my only reference point for this kind of male sensuality outside of Prince. Maybe George Michael.

Haha wow, I'm glad I realized that DIgibro was trash pretty early on.
And that other take is hilarious on a few counts. It almost seems that it should be hard to misunderstand two things and their relation to each other that badly. Jojo's poses punctuate character, while examples in this thread punctuate, uh, 'character'...

Jojo's outfits are awesome, it's a fine way of crossing the dudebro line and i love how they make anime youtubers feel conflicted. This article pretty much sums it up, Araki is a genious and after him all anime outfits feel boring to me xO
I also appreciate David Productions for using Pink as the main color of Giorno, I'm gonna jump the gun and say this for everyone that watches a lot of shounen anime: this was a very bold choice. (And makes his design vastly superior from the manga iteration that just used a boring navy blue like every jojo before him)
I just wished Trish's design was better =/, Part 6 had so many cool ones for the girls though, Jolyne is amazing

Started here and went on for a page or two, getting progressively more obnoxious with each new reply.
