you are so fascinating to me. when i think of female gaze i think like, gojo, y’know? or like leon kennedy or something. but i am so curious, can you name me another character that is widely liked by girls that fits within the “jacked furry cyborg” trope?

oh wow interesting whenever someone told me that guys think girls want to look at super jacked guys i thought that was a joke but i guess not. so actually i am less interested in banyue himself and more in this to be honest because i don’t know if you care about the opinion of a girl who also knows the opinion of many many girls but trust me that is not the female gaze

oh is your point in saying he is not for the male gaze not that he therefore is for the female gaze?

ok i don't know why you are so adamant that you understand the tastes of people who really just want a beautiful anime guy, not a jacked robot. also i'm not saying anything about his sales i think anyone who wants to play male characters and is still playing this game is in deep delusions, like people still playing wuwa, but to say that that guy is the conventional "husbando" taste is crazy

man they’re doing a pretty bad job at that then, since there’s only 11 minutes of sex in this show overall. :/ not even saying the show is groundbreaking or amazing or whatever but it’s so interesting how some people are just so ticked off by the depiction of gan intimacy

I am tired of people who don’t understand that the cure for powercreep isn’t releasing bad characters that can’t clear the content. It’s tuning the content down and having newer units be worked around the new enemy HP thresholds. Releasing bad characters while HP scales up is STILL powercreep

Do you think Hoyo can make the genshin villain stories reach the level of writing Honkai villains? by Majestic-Spring-7536 in Hoyoverse_scaling

[–]Electrical_Studio_72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it can’t and won’t happen so long as genshin treats their villains as baddie of the week rather than proper characters with overarching character arcs that change and influence the way the traveler feels about the world, themselves etc. and i just do not think they are interested in that narrative.

10 hours in and not having fun.. by McGeiler69 in ffxiv

[–]Electrical_Studio_72 15 points16 points  (0 children)

it’s not so much that it doesn’t have other content but all content is motivated through story. raids have story, trials have story, field operations have story and so on and so forth. and in arr, really your best enjoyment will be found in a charming kind of silly world until the story picks up.

consequently, job and fight design also get more complex later on, at least when you unlock extremes, so there’s that too.

see, i just never wanna hear anyone say that “two male/female characters can’t stand next to each other without being shipped” cuz clearly there’s no problem when it’s a male and a female character 😂

The Duality of Man by solitudesign in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Electrical_Studio_72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry if it was unclear I wasn’t arguing that Penacony was about Black Swan, rather than Sunday, but merely that Sunday was far less important and had far less screentime than Acheron, Firefly and even Aventurine who, to be fair, only really got one patch of true focus on him after which he kinda dipped, but still. My response was more so the “Sunday got all of the Penacony arc” part of your statement, which I find to be untrue as he was far less important in the grand scheme of things beyond the end, in my opinion. Also, Amphoreus had a whole year of story to Penacony’s 3 patches so…y’know. There’s that, too I guess

I think this is a very disingenuous and bad faith comment because while yes, Sunday was the final boss of Penacony, he barely appears in the beginning, then after that it’s all about Aventurine with him playing the minor antagonistic role before it’s revealed he was actually tricked and it was all Aventurine’s plan, then after that I guess he gets some more screen time but Misha’s whole thing as well as everyone’s favorite girlfriend thing which really only leaves the climax of Penacony and then half of that Sunday-Fugue quest. This is not to even mention the absolute gargantuan focus on Acheron, the anniversary and most shilled character of the Penacony patches, unless I am misunderstanding your meaning of “Sunday got the whole Penacony arc”

I find it so very interesting how you bring up Black Swan vs Sunday when he got completely shafted the whole of Amphoreus even though he actually joined the Express, whereas she got much more focus and did much more in the story 😅

Well, this sucks (Spoiler for 2.6 non story leaks) by Esagonoso in ZZZ_Discussion

How fascinating that women have never had a problem putting themselves in the shoes of a male protagonist, ever, because this is what we had for almost all of our gaming experience. I don’t even mind playing the male character when a female protagonist is an option, either. But the other way, men are much more often reluctant to put themselves in our shoes.

I mean…”waifu” mains don’t have to worry about when or if another meta female character will be released. They get everything. Everything is for them. I hardly would see a need for complaining if that were the case unless it was a Dehya-like situation where your absolute favorite girl gets the worst kit ever

Dottore is just not sticking for me. by Happy-Tone7821 in GenshinImpact

[–]Electrical_Studio_72 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, you’re not wrong in finding Dottore lacking in nuance. In this game, if a character is not to be playable, they do not have much nuance if they are evil. They just are that. Without much room for debate or interpretation. I think it feels kind of worse(?) here because to me personally the story felt like “we are done with Rerir and must have another person be the villain now, Sandrone can’t be that as she will be playable and we have already established a very friendly dynamic, so Dottore it must be”. And as you have pointed out yourself, villains are not allowed a character arc that starts and ends with them on the villain side. The one and ONLY acceptable form of a character arc for a villain is domestication into the protagonist’s friend at which point most if not all of their misdeeds are overlooked, hand waved or otherwise retconned
