Uh Argentus, I have to ask, why exactly do you fetishize short hair on VG girls? Like seriously, I'll even explain why I fetishize longer hair, I'm genuinely interested.
Dunno if there's a specific reason. Maybe I associate long hair with little princess girly girls which I hate. Maybe because my first crush had short hair. Maybe because short hair is associated with professionalism, modesty and humbleness. Can give off a girl next door vibe (mila) or classy professional look (Christie). It can give an air of maturity that long hair can't.
When I see a girl with long loose flowing hair I think "damn its a spoiled little girl more concerned with fashion and looking good then anything else.". When I see a woman with short hair I think "omg yes a woman who knows how to be practical while still being casually beautiful".
A lot of it may be different standards because I grew up on a ranch where guys and girls both work outside a lot with heavy machinery, chopping wood , dealing with the animals etc, and in that situation long hair is impractical to the point of being stupid. So when I see girls with long hair, my first impression is "spoiled little girl who's never had to work and I would feel more like a babysitter than a boyfriend if I hooked up with her". Its like how I worked in a warehouse and saw all these little divas trying to have their first job but they still have long flowing hair that gets in the way, long colored claws that makes it so they can't do their job properly and wearing tight fashionable outfits in a wok environment. I just groan and sigh.
Take your pick really. But its not just in videogames I drool over women who can pull off short hair in real life, too.
It just gives a good first impression to me.
Liking short hair isn't necessarely a fetish. Why is everyone questionning his taste ? Mila is PURE LOVE.
Regarding that Luong lady... it's a well down trope. I like her but I still need Elizabeth to try this version.
Thank you. Mila is all the love.
But on luong... as you said she's...well a generic character archetype. Not calling her BAD just that everything about her is cliché so I'm not seeing the appeal.
But then again I have the same opinion about Marie Rose and Honoka, and look what happened there.
