Panic! At The Tesco posted:Anime games are horribly embarrassing because of the "sexy" stuff and the aforementioned giant titty waifu problem. Like I think I could enjoy Anime if it was all cool robots, or weirdly dressed people using magic powers and dumb swords and poo poo. This is true for a lot of stuff though, my girlfriend watches a lot of crap on Netflix and so much of has it forced erotica or sexual content in it. She has been watching the fairly old (2004ish) BBC drama Spooks and every episode there's some snogging in an elevator or a spy lady trying to seduce an executive or whatever. I don't find the idea of a sexy anime lady being a problem any more than the frequent and gratuitous sex scenes in a show like Bridgerton. I've not seen that many examples of the kind of titillation you mention if I'm honest, Bayonetta was kinda on the edge with its sexy witch lady taking her clothes off which are made of her hair but I didn't give a poo poo about that, I played it because it was an amazing videogame. Cowboy Bebop is a good anime I guess, I suppose I've heard people criticize Fays character design as being "malegaze". I don't seek out weird animes that might push the idea further but theres people who like that. If thats how someone wants to spend their time, whatever man I got better things to criticise. Anime is cool in theory but its like someone saying they love westerns. I'm sure theres plenty great westerns. I've watched one or two I really loved. True Grit was a great movie, Djanjo Unchained was a great movie, and yet theres a thousuand crappy old spaghetti western films I'll never ever want to watch. Same with videogames, Red Dead Redemption 2 is a loving amazing videogame but Custers Revenge is not and thats how I feel about anime. Theres a handful that are brilliant and I'll seek out after hearing about them enough but for the most part they might as well be one of fifty John Wayne movies that I'll never ever want to watch because there is A LOT of it and its mostly garbage.

You know anime has some serious problems because Hayao Miyazaki really doesn't like anime or the people who watch itMiyazaki posted:“I simply can’t discuss the business we are in without a bit of bitterness. Compared to some of the works from the 1950s that I will always hold as a gold standard, the animation that we are making in the 1980s resembles the food served on jumbo jet airliners … The emotions and thoughts that should be so moving have given way to showiness, nervousness, and titillation. Frankly I despise the truncated word ‘anime’ because to me it only symbolizes the current desolation of our industry.” and my personal favorite Miyazaki posted:Some people spend their lives interested only in themselves. Almost all Japanese animation is produced with hardly any basis taken from observing real people, you know. It’s produced by humans who can’t stand looking at other humans. And that’s why the industry is full of otaku!

While I don't necessarily think all filters on it are a good idea, I can see why someone would want to make it's because this is sooooo expensive to produce, whether we're talking in terms of time or money like yes it's important to be visually distinct from your peers but there's a tipping point where it just isn't feasible. there are lot of times when i feel like throwing up my hands and just going full pixel art but realistically speaking since my workflow has been fully digitized, and because my sprites would still be the same size and good pixel art at my current dimensions is super time intensive, it wouldn't be substantially faster. tldr the reason AAA games don't look like that is because it isn't likely to move more copies than the pixel art one, while being way more expensive to develop; and the reason indie games don't look like that is because it would take a small team two decades to make a game that looks like your second picture in any genre other than "navel gazing arthouse garbage with five screens" for example to name one thing off the top of my head do you have any idea how much of a pain in the rear end it is to code a 2d graded slope

Anime is completely mainstream at this point for anyone under the age of 35 with Kim Kardashian talking about how much she loves it on the View, megan thee stallion doing a photo shoot based on Kakegurui one of the horniest animes out there, and everyone knowing dragonball Z, pokemon, and Yu Gi Oh which makes old-rear end goons trash talking it to show how normal and "ungoonlike" they are always v funny.

this is probably an unpopular opinion: star wars battlefront 2 is more fun than it has any right to be and it is probably my favorite multiplayer shooter currently i remember a bunch of controversy when it was released something about lootcrates or not being able to play cool characters without hundreds of hours of grinding, but they seem to have fixed that and also its free on gamepass so ive just been playing random matches with pubbies and enjoying it a lot more than any other game in the genre ive played in a long time

The whole conversation is silly because noticing the frequency of big-titted high schoolers with demon powers in anime isn't some crazy attack. Just a statement of fact. I happen to enjoy anime and appreciate the country of Japan but I can still make jokes about anime okay??

It only makes sense if you hand pick a specific bad game and specific bad anime to compare, at which point anyone could argue anything by selecting the right examples. And the worst examples of any medium are all so vile it's pointless to try to value compare them. Or perhaps you have a dissertation on the exact toxicity values of A Serbian Film vs Hatred vs Redo of a Healer. Meme Poker Party fucked around with this message at 20:58 on Feb 23, 2021 |

So it's not just anime, but even the staunchest defender of the medium (genre?) has to admit that anime has a lot of needlessly sexual waifu type characters. At least the anime you get exposed to in general life/internet and not as an anime watcher/game player. Don't get me wrong, I'm no prude and will crank my hog to some porn on the reg, but I kind of like to keep my horny media and general entertainment separate for whatever reason.

Theres nothing wrong with being titillated but theres like a time and a place for it and for me, playing video games or watching tv or whatever is not that time and place yet every single anime seems to constantly barrage the viewer with hyper sexualised female characters, pointless beach or onsen episodes contrived purely to put the horn on. Like I know when I'm being pandered to as a straight male and it's so blatant it's just sad. Like it was insanely cool when I was 14 or whatever but 20 years later and anime hasnt seemed to grow up at all

I didn't think there was too much (amount) of sex in Witcher 3, but it wasn't written into the plot any more elegantly than "WELP, time to smash them barbie dolls together because a man talked to a woman long enough."
