Everyones thoughts on gooner characters
So I don't use tiktok and haven't for a long time so who knows how big this has actually gotten, but this was one of the biggest reasons I left and it still leaks thru to my areas sometimes so I'll ask.
What's everyones thoughts on the whole "gooner-games/characters/media" and the people against it. I think the easiest example is genshin where people are forever complaining about character designs with short skirts.
(My yapping/thoughts below)
I personally found it ludicrously annoying and think it almost loops back into misogyny. It seems like maybe because tiktok is home to mostly children theres an attitude of "I don't like this, but I can't just not like something it has to be wrong". But I feel like the amount of times people say things "Check their hard drive" or "This was NOT drawn by a woman obv" to regular art is just bizarre. I've also noticed sexualizing women with more dominant characteristics is more acceptable (a la mommy).
I'n my opinion implying that the only way a woman should be allowed to be sexual is if they are one kind of woman, and otherwise it is indicative of some form of deep perversion or even criminal intent is deeply dehumanizing to women, far more then the gooner art targeted would be. I also find the argument of if one gender is sexualized the other has to be too dumb. Sometimes people just want their generic guys and 18 bunny girls, sometimes people just want their generic girl and 18 otome guys, while my bisexual ass would love more games to play for both teams it's reasonable for games to make characters that appeal to them and their audience even if that means one gender is more sexualized.
Idk man I'm yapping cause i'm high whats everyone else's thoughts?
why are we blaming these characters for being sexualized when the company makes them to appeal to dudebros who play gacha games to goon? obviously they aren't gonna appeal to the female audience who are a minority in the video game industry, they need a big audience and stupid people to spend money on their game and the most prominent genre of stup...... reply
