I like the "thirsty" descriptor as well because to me saying i'm thirsty isn't really the same as saying i want to gently caress [this person]. it's more an abstract appreciation for something horny in nature.

also prompto is a good boy and I love when he takes boyfriend selfies with noctis

Promoto has a lot of pathos cause hes a normal dude surrounded by knights and royalty and desperate to be funny and liked because he has a deep seated complex that his friends are going to get tired of him and he'll be left with nothing except memories.

Hes da bes.

You start out in 1997 saying "horny, horny, horny". But by 2015 that hurts you, backfires. So you start talking about thirst, best girl, and all that stuff, and you’re getting so abstract.

Ignis can cook and has the most useful skill in the game, so he's the best.

Btw burrito I totally agree with you. You can, for instance, describe Takagi-san as 'thirsty' for Nishkata, where it would he gross to call her horny for him.

I dunno about using it as coding for horny maybe it actually is

i'm just thinking about my own perception of it right now, because literally saying "i want to gently caress [some anime character]" is kind of uncomfortable for me because I literally do not want to gently caress them but might want to be able to appreciate sexual depictions of that character or person without getting that far into things

like thirsty to me is a milder level of horny than 'i'm totes jerking it to this pic right now' but maybe i'm misunderstanding the general use :shrug:

'thirsty' reads to me as more desperate for attention/affection from that person

that said i still wouldnt use it to describe little kids

Not to say that Western stuff doesn't sexualize or objectify characters - of course it does! But a lot of anime will sneak in a panty shot or whatever in a scene that's not even supposed to be funny or sexy "as a bonus" in a way that totally ruins the intent of the scene, and that sucks (and similar stuff sucks in Western media too).

I mean, ymmv on this stuff. I love a lot of very fanservicey anime, but I think it's fair to say 'this is gross' sometimes.

Yeah I was more commenting on how like 70% of anime try and sneak that poo poo in and how odd it is that that specific trope is so common that people find it notable and refreshing when an anime doesn't have it. Like a director actually having to fight his own staff to stop them from slipping pantyshots into an anime (about 16 year old girls) really speaks of how expected its become.

i'm crunching the numbers and no.

in fact i think you'd be hard-pressed to find any series from last season that has a 'fanservice' pantyshot. slow start has panties when the girls are having extended conversations about panties because they're gay. fate extra has panties because nero just shows them to everyone. citrus has underwear because it's a show about thirsty lesbians and they're gay.

I actually had to stop playing when the plot got all heavy because it was making me feel so bad for him so I never have finished the game, but will probably go back to it once I'm tired of monhun. I got botw right around that time too and it consumed all my gaming time so it's about time to head back to my boys.

I'm playing it for the first time and Prompto keeps taking gay photos of Iggy and Noctis together and I love it but also I feel Ignis deserves someone who he doesn't have to Mom constantly

It's a good game

anyway i think the prevalence of the pantyshot/fanservice thing is probably exaggerated but i care enough about my free time to not waste it on crunching numbers. certainly i can say i haven't come across unexpected fanservice stuff in most shows i've watched recently, because that sort of thing seems pretty siloed in certain genres or tones of show.

This problem was way more a thing in the 90’s IMO. I’m rewatching Full Metal Panic and drat do they shove in a ton of fan service that really didn’t need to be there.

These days? It’s definitely still a thing, but nowhere near as bad as people make it out to be.
