Did you make that? gif? :) When I posted the video I would have loved a gif of the boob scene and his reactions. XD

Playing the witcher 3 something I noticed in the first cutscene before you start actually playing is that while both Geralt and Yennefer were naked, only her ass was shown (like 15 times). Geralt even got up out of his barrel tub with a back view on him and the camera stayed glued above his waistline the entire time he stood up. 0.3 seconds later they showed another closeup of Yennefer's bare butt.

The way Geralt was presented in the cutscene seemed more subtly sexual in a "look at this wet powerful guy but only above the waist" way.

Compare that to how a Japanese game shows men during bathtime


lol @ 4:15

That's how it actually is, funny enough.
While there are women who do like looking at the male extremities, it's mainly the upper body that's the most attractive for women.

That's why you see that way more often than bare male asses(although that's more seen than bare female asses of course).

I always find the censored by a random object thing funny

Oh and women love men's asses. From what I've seen they're on the same level as abs.

I just remembered Gigas in Tekken 7 and this pic of him that was circulating a while back

There must be some name for the trope of adding sexy features to characters that aren't supposed to be attractive

I would say fan disservice, but that doesn't quite describe it. It would seem that the game developers are starting to catch on to both the genders' love of latex/skintight suit clad buttocks, it's been popping up way more frequently now, especially with the whole Marvel and DC craze going on.

Blame it on E-Sports.

Well, I don't care if Cammy has nipples or not...but I think it's just embarassing for them to first imply them and then, after some time has passed, erasing them in a hush-hush operation via patch. XD

They have apparently been doing it for absolutely no reason. Even though it makes no sense considering Laura's alt AND the new costumes for Chun-Li and Cammy just recently released...
