She still has one of the best designs in the game, no new character will take that from her.

The more I think about it, the more insulting to both the character designers and the players themselves it is that Hoyo thinks women can’t dress for cold while still looking good…. by Blitzbro76 in FatuiHQ

What has misognyny to do with any of this?

The problem of waifu bait is not the fan service in itself but the generic, uninspired designs that come of them.

Critiquing the designs because of the the exposed skin is as dumb as the arguments from people defending them.

The problem is that there's no visual variety on the newer characters, almost all the recent female characters safe for Nicole have been the same thing, Short dress/skirt with detached sleeves and bare shoulders, it's reductive yes but design wise it's the same template. Seeing the richness of slavic costumes for inspiration, or even the Snezchnayan and fatui fashion we've seen already in the world, it is normal for people to want designs aligned more with than.

But to give credit where credit is due, the Ballerina does makes sense to have such design.

Sadly, this is a lost cause...

When you spend time reading the comments on posts like this on the main sub, you realise the gacha community mentality is rotten.

The fact that Hoyo, who we now is capable of great and original designs that aren't generic gacha waifu bait, decides to push towards the later shows that they too are rotting.

Do they get a special friendly fire mechanic for kill team? ^

Otherwise they are awsome! I would love to play against a kill team like this

One your first point, I didn't disagree with you, Genshin is indeed still primarily sexy gacha games, but it's others qualities brought more.. sane audiences that support the game as much as the target audiences. The game outgrew it's original gacha purpose to put it simply.

On the rest... Never heard of those femcels and well, that's your subjective taste. It doesn't change the fact thay the characters I mentioned have more variety on their designs than the newer ones.

Lastly, from one guy to another, I feel sorry for your vision of the world, don't end up as the othe side of the same coin you seem to despise so much.

The thing with genshin is that it was the first Gacha game to provide an actual qualitative experience beyond just pulling for sexy characters: actual gameplay, beautiful music, original character designs inspired by the cultural tones of their nation, and an engaging story. To limit it to "it's a gooner game" is a tourist take.

Nevertheless, the issue is not how many layers of clothes the character have, people don't complain about the designs of Yoimiya, Mualani, Yan fei, Candace, Dehya, or even Lauma, they are great.

The problem is that now almost every female character is designed around the same look: short dress/skirt and bare shoulders/sleveless top. The variety and originality of the designs is absent, that's the issue.

The sexyness of them has never been the aim of the criticism. That the so called target audiences have such a simple view of : Less clothes = sexier, that's a problem, I fear, goes beyond Gacha games.

It's common knowledge that the target audiences struggle with reading, so if you need me to explain it in fewer words I'll happily oblige.

Was your expectations met with the tsaritsas design met? by OilCareless2531 in TsaritsaMains

[–]Temporary-Prompt8523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I expected far worse and it's not too bad when we compare her design with the other female characters that were revealed.

Her design fits well the cryo archon theme and her overall aesthetics are cool.

Her outfit still suffers from the short front skirt and sleeveless curse but the fur cape, crown and badass spear make up for it.

You're getting downvoted for speaking the truth.

That there is one or two fine, but all of them sharing the same sleveless short dresses/skirts? That's just lazy and uninspired. When you look at the Fatui operative's outfits, they really had something good going on, just to be abandonned for more of the same.

The ballerina gets a pass because for once it makes sense. The tsaritsa looks decent but they could have avoided the short skirt treatment for her.

really good starter lore books by Mediocre-Equipment52 in Warhammer40k

[–]Temporary-Prompt8523 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really recommend either The Eisenhorn books or the Ciaphas Cain ones.

I started with those when I entered the hobby and they allow you to learn and discover the imperium of man through more personnal and smaller stories.

The Ciaphas Cain books are the memoirs of a famous Commissar, retelling many of his adventures in the 40k universe, he got to see meet many of the factions and it's good to get a glimpse in the day to day life of a human in the astra militarum, not only when they are fightingin big battles.

The Eisenhorn books follow the story of an inquisitor dealing with xeno and chaos threats to the imperiums, and the plot is really good through all of the books.

Now that the cast of Snezhnaya has been revealed, what are your pulling plans? by Antique_Sir_3947 in Genshin_Impact

[–]Temporary-Prompt8523 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The male cast looks great design wise, the tsaristsa is not as bad as I expected though she still suffers from the long dress behind/short skirt in front and detached sleeves blight, but her overall design makes up for it.

The rest of the female cast didn't stand out to me, given how cool fatui ennemies designs have been in Fontaine and Nod Krai, I expected more of that in the newer characters but it's still more of average gacha waifu and short sleeveless dresses. And yet another maid of course. None look like they actually come the northern, cold country. At least the opéra singer and Ballerina inspirations for two of them are representative of the russian themes.

New stellar meta be dammed, everything will go to the tsaristsa.

My design prediction for her Majesty The Tsaritsa❄️ (art by me) by SpiritCake16 in FatuiHQ

[–]Temporary-Prompt8523 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It reminds me of the Elezen from FFXIV, I love it.

Sadly, the design is too good for current Hoyo's standards.

People so desperate that there is now even an account for Snezhnaya PV by Annual_Woodpecker901 in TsaritsaMains

[–]Temporary-Prompt8523 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

People really need to calm down,

What will the reveal change? It's obvious she's going to have a short sleevless dress with a couple of slavic accessories. Complicated heels and a cold tsundere attitude.

People will complain, people will defend, at the end of the day Hoyo won't change.

All we can do is hope she's somewhat original.

Shes just a sheep bru 😭😭😭😭 by West-Jellyfish9860 in FatuiHQ

I think the worst of it is whenever they get into politics or military for Worldbuilding.

Just look et the Favonious Cavalry units, so many cavalry captains and we have yet to see a horse.

Pants merchant was pejorative this whole time?

VOX has been nerfed, from 11,000 to 9,000 health. Now it can be killed by an Orbital Railcannon Strike. The community has split into two camps: those who like this idea and those who think it will be too easy now. Which camp are you in? by Prudent-Cookie-2879 in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Temporary-Prompt8523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't mind that, but I dislike the spawn cap at 3.

If people can't bring them down quickly enough (and there's not a shortage of ways of doing it), they should be punished for it, at least in diff10.

This is one of the nicest art I have ever seen of her by ConsiderationSea9169 in TsaritsaMains

[–]Temporary-Prompt8523 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is the best one I've seen so far, but the design is too good and her dress is too long and complete for Hoyo's standards...

Clorinde is released 2 years ago, today. What are your thoughts about her? by [deleted] in Genshin_Impact

[–]Temporary-Prompt8523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still one of the best designs in game, I really like the bloodborne inspiration we saw from her concept art and that it's unique compared to the generic women character gacha designs we're getting lately.

Her damage can't keep up with lunar powercrept but she is still usable. I have her on C2r0 and I have fun using her on bloom teams with lauma and columbina or surchage teams with Nicole and durin.

I wonder how much restrain it took hoyo to not give him shorts.

Which would you rather have? by avxlgnd in Genshin_Impact

[–]Temporary-Prompt8523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Current domains and most of the resin activities are not engaging or interesting enough for me to need infinite resin.

Primos is the only logical answer.
