A Discussion of sexualised design of male/female characters

[Jadeinchains]

....I am really embarrassed now. I would say that it's more a fantasy thing, a lot of guys enjoy the thought of being pursued by a sexually aggressive women, case in point this avatar I used, it's from a "special" uh... my friend suggested to me, and I enjoyed it immensely.♡ But anyway yeah just the whole reverse gender dominance thing won me over.

Speaking of which, this reminds me of an old video called "Booty Pop" by some young kid, and the women were dancing and shaking in front of him at the pool....yeah, switch the genders around and imagine how more controversial this would've been ~_~ It's kind of like the double standard Chap pointed out.

Spoiler: The video for anyone who wanted to see what I meant

Nah I don't think you should really be embarrassed since yours is just about fictional characters, When its real people though then yeah its strange and really creepy the way people act as if just cause its young boys its okay for women to be perverted towards.

Also lol what is this so called "special"?

I remember seeing that stupid video on I think World's Dumbest a while back and thinking the same thing.

Oh!! You watch that show too XD yeah, that's where it was from, me and my sister laughed at it but then we had to sit down and see how wrong the double standard was. If some little girl was rapping the song and there were men shaking and flopping their....goods around, there would have been a lawsuit and the parents would've gotten in trouble. Plus the video was trashy and basic as hell, I'd rather watch Cupcakke's "Deepthroat" on repeat than watch that garbage of low class and sophistication.

@Jadeinchains uh...hentai??

 

[Jadeinchains]

@Jadeinchains uh...hentai??

Lol I guess I could of guessed that! XD

Also I just watched that cupcakke video.........

Don't feel too bad @KasumiLover69 . I'm always the target when it comes to avatars xD

Well yeah XD Your avatars are really something else, like really. 0_o And sorry Jade, I should have warned you that video was NSFW XD, me and Brad listen to all of Cupcakke's tracks

Is it bad that I was just dying of laughter the entire time I was watching it?! I'm shocked it was even on YouTube with what she's wearing.

 

[KasumiLover]

Honestly no, I laugh myself every time I watch her videos XD. She's serious about her over the top sexual image, but in my eyes she's basically a parody of what some real life celebrities do for attention, which is do sexual gimmicks to get views...which worked since that video alone got 2,000,000 views. 0_o Pretty much all female celebrities nowadays have to take it all off to get noticed, same with men but with girls it's a lot more prominent. Skai is the biggest example...poor girl, I hope her mother tones down her image a little.

 

[Jadeinchains]

I have to admit I'm actually kind of living for her because of how crazy she is, And yeah she's pushing the sexual music video to it's absolute highest. The only thing is is that I looked her up and saw that she's only 19...

 

[KasumiLover]

I think she's lying personally, she doesn't look no younger than say 21? I honestly cannot believe she is one year older than me, but maybe I have to face the facts....I'm destined to spend the rest of my life looking like a 16 year old >_<, she probably just is fortunate enough to look mature while only my height gives away my age...

She's collaborated with Uma Kompton, so who knows how legit she is? I honestly think a character like her would fit perfectly in DOA XD

 

[Jadeinchains]

OMG a character like her in doa would be interesting to say the very least lol! XD I wonder how she'd interact with all the other characters? I'm not sure how popular she is? It would be strange if she became famous.

Have to agree with @Chapstick, Vega looks fugly in Street Fighter V:

That is not a handsome face by any of today's standards. The proportions are all messed up. The little nose and lips in the broad, puffy face look especially dumb.

I can't be the only one who feels like he has a major case of babyface, right? He looks like a 5th grader on ridiculous steroids. Y'know, like he never lost his baby fat, giving him this weird childlike look despite having eyes closer to an adult's in proportion with the rest of his face.

 

[Chapstick]

Spoiler: Vega

 

[KasumiLover]

That's why I think it looks fine to me, the harsher lines on his face are a bit off yeah, but the babyface he has makes him look much better than say Ken who has that weird clay face. Maybe if they adjusted the lips, smooth the knows and softened his face overall he'd look much more acceptable to you guys. Pretty much everyone truthfully needs to be touched up, the faces aren't all that great.

Lets continue this here:

I just woke up so I'll weigh in on Cindy and Gladio- give Gladio tighter pants that hug his butt and legs better and I guess I'll admit they're on the same level.

Hrm... :/
How about this outfit then?

Wait a sec...I just realized that this is exactly the Soul Calibur V fetish DLC:

 

[Chapstick]

What kind of namco bandai thievery

This is what I meant

When you sexualize a man or a woman the butt is emphasized, that doesn't change with gender because everyone likes butts and Cindy's ass is most certainly emphasized. So if you want to put them on the same level sexualize them equally as possible. Another common thing between genders is skintight or nearly skintight clothing, especially pants on guys to get a good look at the leg muscles and butt (and of course bulge but Cindy's downstairs parts aren't defined or sticking out so a bulge isn't necessary)

Lol, Chapstick... You really thought this through. XD

@KasumiLover69 and @Juihau:

I tried to deuglify SFV Vega as good as I could without completely changing his whole ugly mug. To compare them best just open the images in new tabs and click back and forth between them.

New:

What do you think?

Vega still looks bad, before and after xD

 

[Tyaren]

Thanks... :/ Well, I did the best I could without completely exchanging his face.

 

[KasumiLover]

His lips look slightly larger in the new one and his face looks more pouty.... Hm, I still say I prefer the original, just give him the fuller lips and scale them down like 1/5 and he'll look a little better. Also I prefer the softer forehead frown I think you gave him too, it looks less harrowed.
