A Discussion of sexualised design of male/female characters

[Russian-chiropractic19]

Funny enough, DOAX3 really isn't even the WORST thing you can do to pretend someone is becoming "degraded".

I mean they will NOT accept Fortune(which is THE fetish swimsuit) unless they are at maximum with you. They still have their personalities in tow and never seem made to be toys or objects to be acted upon(thanks Anita...) and basically, they are just taking a vacation.

I mean there is far worse ecchi games than DOAX3 out there, people just love blowing a gasket over the series...because it's the most obvious one there.

i blow a gasket over the series because its the most blatant misuse of characters i like. i don't care if i not the worst thing because its still pretty shitty and the worse i can think of by the actual fucking developers of the characters. every other example is made by fans and doesn't reflect on the characters at all.

I still think you are blatantly overreacting there.
It's like saying Puzzle Fighter 2 degrades the SF cast. I guess again, it's just how you and me see differently.

I kinda get what Russian is saying here. He thinks that Momiji should be swinging that big ass Naginata at a demon or training the young ninjas not sunbathing at Zack Island. Personally I wish you could see the girls doing their Katas on the beach or something. I think thats way more sexy than just doing that "other" shit.

 

[Niitris]

Nah, Puzzle Fighter are just simply cuter, deformed versions of their normal selves, not quite the same as a gravure idol dating sim.

That said, Team Ninja girls ave always been on the extreme side of cartoonishly pretty. Xtreme hardly ruins them as characters, it's just a different and more polarizing side of them. If anything, it does more damage to the IP as a whole. DoA was made to appeal to a certain niche anyways so eh.

And it has close to nil effect on Ninja Gaiden: the game about Super Ninja Ryu Hayabusa and his badass partners in crime.

Speaking of Tracer...

I think her design is awesome and sexy!

 

[Chapstick]

To be fair the girls are kind of like toys when it comes to certain features like squishing their boobs or flipping up their skirts in the vita version. Then there's the tengu fan thing that blows everything upward and jiggles their butts and boobs.

I just saw on tumblr (I try not to follow annoying people but this crap still shows up on my dashboard) they apparently changed that girl's pose in that game due to complaints?

The new pose is better imo, there's more character to it. Here's the sjw who posted its perspective on it

"Now that the new Tracer victory pose is revealed to still have butt–but is cute, dynamic, and kinda spunky-sexy and more appropriate for the character and I totally dig it–I wonder if the pissbaby gamer bros will realize how they blew this issue up so unnecessarily and no one caved to anything out of “social justice pressure.”

…hahaha I know they won’t that was a rhetorical question filled with seething rage because I’m sure they’ll just revel in “SJWs still being angry” when really no one gavenearly as much of a shit as they did not even the initial person (who was actually a dude) who brought up the point."

 

[Xhominid The Demon Within]

The problem wasn't the point itself, but how Blizzard pretty much seemed to immediately cave in and you know, not just clarified that they didn't like the pose Tracer was in and found it unsatisfactory as a character.

It's less of "SJWs trying to take away sex appeal"(despite the FATHER wanting the pose out SPECIFICALLY for that pose) and more "Why did Blizzard cave to ONE PERSON".

 

[Russian-chiropractic19]

So now the issue was never the ass but whether Tracer was allowed to look serious at all? oh god she's going to become the new Zack.

 

[SacredWarrior]

Bring on the sexual designs! I like fanservice for both genders and it shouldn't be censored just because someone is offended by it. Just don't play/watch it. Hell my profile pic should say everything

Apparently so since the SJWs somehow LIKE this change...despite the fact that it looks more like a pinup model.

Don't believe me?

There you go.

 

[Russian-chiropractic19]

it just brings to mind the argument of putting girls in strange and uncomfortable positions.

 

[Xhominid The Demon Within]

It does too but then again, this is fiction, does it really matter to fictional men and women?

literally none of this matters

Agreed. She's the only reason I want that game <3

 

[BrownEyeAssassin]

So, an outcry over a fictional female's booty... how delightful.
Also, Tracer is one good looking woman I must say.

 

[KasumiLover]

How do you guys like her? She doesn't exactly get my attention, aside from the curvaceous backside she has.

Shes just generally awesome

Cool hair

Time stop powers

Sexy accent

Fun personified personality

Spoiler

Can I just saw I am in love with blizzards animators? I wish they did movies.

 

[KasumiLover]

The visuals are amazing ♡_♡ And that girl's spiked hairdo is sick af, I love seriously spiked hair. And who's her friend..?

Agreed. Guess you like her too now lol.

Unfortunately I think the game itself is just another team fortress style death match arena game so its just the promotional stuff that's awesome.

@KasumiLover69 To be honest, in terms of character design, she's my ideal woman (you can say the same about Cereza/Bayonetta in Bayonetta 2) and I'm a huge sucker for tomboys or females with short hair. Personality wise, I'm unsure.
