If Japanese devs wanna remove all of the weird troublesome hornycringe from their games, I’ll support em in it.
I watched a video on fucked up games (morbid curiosity and just a shitty day where I wanted to turn off my brain), and turns out that the amount of horny, outright pedophilic and mysoginistic games are still being made, but the developers make an active effort to block anyone outside Japan from getting them, or even visiting their websites. Not only that but they have stated something to the lines of: “these games are intended for a Japanese audience only, if you want to play them, come here”
Personally I don’t consider those niche fetish eroge games to be part of “Japanese gaming” in the same way that I don’t consider incest porn when I’m thinking about American cinema.
Like yeah, I get it, it’s technically a game from Japan so it’s a Japanese game. But it’s so removed from what is considered mainstream gaming that it’s porn first and game second
Her depiction is still very objectifying, only obscured by the endemic issue in the fighting game genre being the most insanely misogynistic genre outside of gacha and hentai games.
fuck off with that
a) no fucking way fighters are that high in misogyny. at the very least they consistently let you play as women, which has to put them a fair way up there. there is more to misogyny than having horny character designs
b) bridget isn’t objectified? camera doesn’t ogle her, she’s given a story where she self actualizes and is given internality that is reflected in her character design, design isn’t even horny, especially by the standards of the franchise
c) i was specifically referring to an instance where a japanese dev went back and fixed an extant shitty tropey objectifying horny bullshit character (incredibly sexualized in her og design, being 14, plus all the transphobic jokes and inherent transphobia to the bit) by giving her internality as a character and making the gender stuff not just the trap narrative and instead allowing her to grapple with identity, as well as making her both way less sexualized AND an adult woman. please do not look at this and go “this isn’t an improvement”
Korean gamer chuds are absolutely next level, like taking out blimps to protest companies not having sexy enough swimsuits in gacha games or literally having a character make an incidental pinching gesture, because they think it’s subliminal feminist propaganda mocking men for having small penises. A lot of Korean devs are fucking terrified of upsetting them. I would be unsurprised if there actually is a trend of Korean gamea being more overtly fanservicey as a result.

it’s kinda annoying to get flash games running though
Ah yes, South Korean grindfest mmo trash with busty elves, such a high bar.
Unlike you emotional wokeies, I am a being of reason. If you had half my IQ you would realize that it is simply more efficient in terms of time to enjoyment to only play video games that make my pp hard. I save literal hours a day not having to interrupt my gaming sesh to look up hentai.
These guys need more problems in their lives
