I can’t be the only one who finds this stuff Just the slightest bit revolting, right? Like … Wow. I’m at a loss for words
Are you really surprised these gachas attract tons of horny teenage coomers with waifu baiting as a business model?
The characters all look underage af too
Games that are in the business of selling anime girls end up attracting a certain demographic. And as the developers know who their audience is and double down on catering to that crowd, this kind of behavior becomes increasingly normalized over time.
Exhibit A: the hilariously horny official trailer for Jane Doe
Thanks I just busted to this
Developers: White whale, holy grail!
Man, am I glad I grew up with less horny games. Like Tomb raider, Metroid or Shantae.
The real reason is probably that we said comparable stuff, just as whispers and not written in an anonymous forum. And we weren’t even egged on by forum culture or our games to be as horny as possible, the former drives engagement while the ladder drives sales.
I was going to say, there were definitely horny games but you wouldn’t talk about them in the open.
Honestly genshin and honkai aren’t even that bad. You want a bad one, look at nikke. Ass and titties jiggle physics: the game.
I would argue Shantae is definitely horny, the games have some innuendo jokes specially the DSi one.
Yeah, I was just pulling your leg. Being a goofy goober. Why would you read this very specific list of games and think I was earnest?
Tomb raider had infinitely many rumours about a nude-cheat because boys were so thirsting about Lara Croft, while Metroid and Shantae reward fast playthroughs with bikini pics.
I remember vividly the dead or alive dimensions demo.
My first contact with boob physics.turn around 120 times while standing in the kitchen sink and you’ll unlock the nude skin !! 8yo me believed
And 3D boobs in the 3DS.
Do they hit people with the ladder if they don’t buy?
Some do it just to meme or be funny. Especially ones that make these kinds of posts.
The ones you really have to worry about are the ones that get mad when you mention something about a character that is not accurate. They will publicly execute you. Worry about those ones.
I don’t know the context of the meme but i guess she doesn’t look like that in the game or something? They did their waifu dirty? These jokes seem quite harmless and light.
That’s the thing, the whole waifu crap.
Like people talk about it as if they’re real persons and treat them as such. It’s borderline psychotic.
The thing abaout “waifu culture” is that most people do not actually think or act like fictional anime characters are real people. They do it to troll, or be funny, or act stupid, whatever. Like circlejerk subreddits or other online boards where there is some joke that gets perpetuated that everyone in the community thinks is hilarious but everyone outside thinks is stupid.
Yes, there are a tiny few that do, but not a significant number of people actually think that way.
In the game, she supposedly has well defined muscles, and slightly larger breasts I guess? I haven’t looked at her enough in the game to really remember it by heart.
No? Welcome to gachas, don’t even pretend girls don’t want to be put on the wall by their daddies, there are plenty of thirsty traps with the dudes on TikTok.
These are games made to sell you waifus and husbandus, they are appealing by design. I recommend you to watch the newest Jane Doe trailer on the Zenless channel, this is the target demographic.
I highly recommend this video that explains gacha games and how they objectify women and sometimes men.
The absolute irony of clicking this link and being met by an ad for some gacha game featuring ample-chested anime characters
I haven’t seen a youtube ad in years thanks to uBlock Origin and Firefox.
Yeah, me too, but I was on my phone
For that reason I just ditched the youtube app and use the mobile site instead. On Firefox mobile uBlock works as well.
Moon Channel is great!
Average anime sub behavior
People went anonymous online and lost all shame.
I would guess the absurdity is the point. People trying to make each other laugh. If it bothers you, you don’t need to be there.
You say this, but on TikTok people are genuinely so serious when they comment on stuff about the game and Zenless. “I need her bro” or “I’d do anything for her"
Well then let them. It’s no skin off your back and no one else is actually getting hurt, so just ignore it.
Just watch out for those that went too far and negatively impact real people and go off on those ones. It’s a waste of your time and effort to go after each dirty joke like this.
I get an extreme amount of secondhand embarassment reading these comments don’t get me wrong but at the end of the day its just some people doing some weird jokes on the internet. Even if the things they say are their actual worldview nearly everyone on the internet lacks the influence in the real world to enforce their worldviews to the masses so what does it matter if they say such stuff on the part of the internet where their kind of people usually hang out. I’d say live and let live in this case. No need to hate your fellow humans just because they hold different opinions than the popular ones or the ones you hold.
Nah, objectification of people is fucking gross. That doesn’t change if you say “it’s just a joke, bro.” And it does matter when enough individually powerless people take up an idea. That’s literally how movements start. Like the MRA movement, for example, and now we have Andrew fucking Tate.
But they do not take up the idea, because they do not take it seriously. That is what it means to have a joke, no?
Fucking weebs.
Average anime community
It’s because these games sell their characters on sex appeal
This type of behaviour is neither new, nor actively harmful. There’s really nothing you, I or anyone else can do to stop it, so the only remaining choice is to ignore it and not post screenshots in different communities where people agree with you.
Jus your standard weebs
At first, I thought this was a screenshot from Lemmy and thought what the hell. Then I saw that it’s Reddit and all my questions got answered. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Imagine thinking reddit is the only internet forum with gross idiots.
I don’t? There’s also 4chan.
Well, jokes aside, I’m not of the opinion that humans are either gross idiots or non-gross idiots. I rather think that their social context brings out the gross that lives in all of us.
Reddit is big enough that people feel even more anonymous there, and that there’s enough people willing to share their gross interests to form communities. When those communities exist, you also get an influx of users specifically looking for all of that. Lemmy is just not big enough.
