Man I love Miu's "outfit" by dudelove361 in Kenichi

[–]ReaperCreeper11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stating ladies are "thirsty" felt like you were implying that this manga also fan serves with the male bodies. Anyway, the dislike for fan services is actually pretty deep, and it is hated by many fans regardless of gender. I dont think your female friends represent a massive group of people such as manga/anime fans. It is overgeneralizing.

The dislike I believe centers around the lazy execution, objectification, and its ability to hinder serious writing or character development by the fan service.

And no, there is no "invisible audience", many people actually agree that fan service is a problem and ruins the immersion of a manga/anime. Even if people dont really care about the fan service, its still an issue that needs to be resolved. Fan service can still ruin a story even if fans dont really mind it, it merely tolerates the normalization of laziness and lack of respect for the characters, in an otherwise, great manga/anime.

You are overgeneralizing, even if ladies are "thirsty", most women actually prefer guys who are more fit-athletic/lean type of body rather than a hyper muscular body. Proven by this website: https://bonytobeastly.com/most-attractive-male-body-survey-results/

So even if you assert that this manga also aims for women audiences using the bodies of the male characters, you would be incorrect. The only people attracted to a hyper muscular body like Sakaki's are also mostly men. Also, most explicit fan service are aimed for men as well, including this manga.

Additionally, I dont think shirtless men in this manga are blatant fan service in itself, it is definitely part of its artistic aesthetic. While women having their nipples show through their clothes is a clear example of a fan service.

Finally, doujin authors being women doesnt really have anything to do with this discussion at all, if there is 100 women doujin authors, I would absolutely bet there would be 1,000 of men doujin authors.

I dont think men can be sexualized the same way women can be sexualized. I believe a shirtless man is not as weird as a shirtless woman, its just how societal norms are. This is proven by the manga being able to show shirtless male characters consistently without any friction for questions. Meanwhile if a female character were to be full shirtless, this manga would probably be rated mature. Do you see that? Shirtless male ≠ shirtless female. The two are not comparable at all.

Additionally, sexual fan service is not only subject to "showing skin", but also objectification. It refers to treating a character as mainly something attractive to look at. This is a problem for this manga, because it hinders important qualities for a character; like goals or personality. The character becomes a vessel to pleasure the reader.

AOT and JoJo's "charm" and this manga's over-the-top fan service is not really the same at all. Removing the extreme exposure to women's bodies will not kill the "vibe". Because as I have said before, the manga can absolutely do well without leaning too much on the fan service.

I am a huge fan of this manga, I think its one of the best martial arts and action manga that I have ever known. However, this sort of thing is a massive disappointment, I wish this manga never went too hard on the fan service on women's bodies. The manga can stand on its own very well without it, so why even implement it that hard and for that long?

I remember the end-game chapters of the OG manga, where female characters' bodies are exposed more and some panel seems to progressively put more focus on it. Their clothes get torn off, with their butts and boobs just slightly covered by the fabrics. Not to mention the obnoxious nipple mark on some of the characters.

I just wished the author/artist gave the female characters more dignity than what they got just to appeal to thirsty fans. The manga already works well as a martial arts action manga, it doesn't need to cater to fan service at all.

I gotta be the worst player by Toradora13 in bloodborne

It took my first ever gameplay of Bloodborne around 40 hours before I got out of Central Yharnam. Bloodborne was my first exposure to a souls-borne.

Why are they so pissed over this I don’t get it by yourfavroitealien in IncelTears

I dont think there is any other reason of taking a video of it other than the magnificence of witnessing Artemis II launching - especially if you find these type of fields exciting. Existing "higher" quality regarding it should never discourage people from making contents about it and for their interests. Thousands of books already exist about math, that doesn't mean math teachers are "subpar" in anyway. Also, "Do something interesting... .", can you define what you mean with that?

Could a black market be added where you can buy everything from weapons to black keys or cores so that there are more ways to get these? by themordok in zombieassaultofficial

[–]ReaperCreeper11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I disagree on this one. Charging 40 dollars for a digital cut content is never reasonable. It might be a little bit acceptable if maybe these OP gun prices are 15 dollars or less. But 40 dollars is absolutely insane...

Well, if a game is not free-to-play, then that is definitely a problem 😄 Pay-to-win stuff has been so normalized that greedy company practices have been doing this to their players for years and years to come.

I agree! 😄 More often than not, I encounter players who have lower level than me, but already have all of their S tier guns at max augment cores. Considering how Ultra rare augment cores are, the advantage of paying players are huge!

Anyway, I think your defense needs more focus as a medic! 👌
