![]() ![]() I have, on many occasions, found myself unable to take a character seriously because of their ridiculous sexy attire that no one would ever wear in the types of situations video game characters are often in. My issue with those types of characters is purely from a critical perspective, not a moral one. However, I do often think it's really dumb and treats the audience like horny morons rather than people looking for a meaningful experience. I'm not one to get "offended" by over-sexualized characters in media. It's not a stripping (no pun intended) of equality, but just an acknowledgement that the pendulum has often swung too far in the other direction and we might need a bit of a correction. ![]() It's why you could have something like magic mike but doing that with the genders swapped would not be cool in modern times. I personally don't think it's any sort of "unfairness" and just people realizing that the objectification of women has been much more of an issue than the objectification of men throughout human history and are therefore being more vigilant about it.

People are going to interpret things and derive meaning from them based on their own personal experiences and backgrounds. ![]() Is he supposed to say he likes dudes?Īdam has full frontal nudity but no one complained about that. Making a pretty woman is now objectifying women in games these days. As for the outfit she wears, Kotaku did a pretty good explanation of how it was influenced by Harajuku fashion and not just a skimpy french maid outfit which Abby keeps calling it. This lead to Taro to release a statement, but the director doesn't seem to be as outraged as some people would expect him to be.You don't actually look up her skirt to get the trophy, the trophy acknowledges the fact you tried to look up it so its your morals which are in question. The image has since been debunked as photoshopped, but nevertheless, a lot of discussion had been popping up online. It was said that the image was also taken after Platinum Games had released a demo for Nier Automata, and players were looking for creative ways to look up the protagonist's skirt. The issue with Nier Automata actually sprouted up after an image posted by a fan online pointed out that the developers had rendered a butthole on 2B, and players could actually see it if they looked closely in the game. ![]() Game director The game Yoko Taro, proves to be a good sport, and is playing along with the buzz surrounding the game's lead character, 2B. Square Enix actually has a whole list of games coming out in 2017 including Kingdom Hearts III, and the remake of Final Fantasy VII, but a lesser-known game called Nier Automata has been the center of quite the controversy. ![]()
