    Can we go back to the days where RPGs were all modable, and there would be a sketchy website with horny cosmetic mods for every possible orientation and preference, and nobody really talked about it?

      I was just thinking about that too lol. People have done this shit forever but they used to do it with the mentality of “I’m a perverted little piglet who like smut and should be ashamed” and they would behave with the appropriate level of shame. Whereas now they think they’re fucking freedom fighters for this shit and they think being horny and sexualizing every possible female character is somehow subversive? Just orders of magnitude more annoying. I miss the days when these folks kept their perversions appropriately sequestered to their quite little corner of the internet.

          I acknowledge the correctness of what you’re saying while also responding with the suggestion that you are perhaps over intellectualizing my completely unserious desire to shame all gamers for their collective preoccupation with jiggle physics

          It’s possible for things presented in art to be sensual and sexy without it being cheap and lazy sensationalism. It’s a subjective thing, sure, but in broad strokes I can say that the “improvement” in the OP picture is cheap and lazy sensationalism.

              This fit my experience growing up to a T. I was a teenager with unsupervised internet access, so a lot of the stuff I “learned” from sex came from material that treated misogyny, slut-shaming, and violence as a given. Discovering work that portrayed sex as something that could be founded in mutual enjoyment and respect was such a watershed moment for me.

        I don’t think gooners and the actual perverts (not people who simply like smut, but constantly sex-brained creeps) ever had shame tbh. It’s not a new thing, it’s just new mediums for them to be creeps on (internet, gaming) rather than real life. They’re no different from the age-old “creepy uncle”/“catcalling neanderthal”/“moral paragon who loses control when they see an exposed ankle” crowd.

    grillman: “I want improved graphics.”

    porky-happy: “Ok here you go.”

    grill-broke: “VIDYA BETRAYED US RIGHT WING MEN!”

    By that logic, Baldur’s gate 3 must be the most conservative game of all since it lets you play as a woman who can streak in-game, uncensored.

    less bland and generic

    What is more bland and generic than treat printers printing out even more spank bank material for gooners?

    Sure, it’s been improved a little…

    Why does everything have to be porn to these freaks? Video games, movies, TV shows, they wanted to bring porn to fucking Lemmy

    I know the volcel-judge are a meme, but I unironically love it so much and our site culture in general. It’s so nice to have at least one space online that isn’t yet another porn site.

    If a sweaty nerd putting bigger boobs on comic book characters via photoshop was a thing in the simpsons people would say it’s a bad bit because it’s too on the nose. But no, this is our bluecheck dumb ass reality.

    Isn’t Sonja Blade in her 40s (almost 50s) in the new MKs? Cassie Cage is a full-grown woman and unless A Sonja had her when she was under 20 (ew). If anything, Sonja Blade should be older looking.

          People complained about it but I actually loved how Johnny Cage developed as he became more and more of a dad. Like, they actually made a version of Johnny Cage I liked by the end of Raiden’s Era.

              Honestly, when the only other family-related storyline we’ve gotten in the FGC is “jesus christ someone needs to break up the Mishima Zaibatsu so these mfs stop dropping each other down volcanoes”, the Cages look downright wholesome ad nontoxic in comparison

    They actually increased her muscle size though which is unusual. Ok boobs awooga but look at the biceps, triceps, elbow and shoulder.
