what if you shrug and go 'sexy characters sell games and people wanna sell games'?

ngl I have zero problems with gratuitous skimpy bikini armor if the men get the same treatment and are wandering around inexplicably shirtless or in tight leather armor or something. you'd think they'd realize already that 'people like sexy characters' doesn't only apply to people who like women. gaze at abs more or something, idk

por que no los dos

Shout out to that dude who was asked to design a woman in a “swimsuit” and put her in a diving suit instead. https://www.siliconera.com/yoko-taro-made-sinoalice-skin-told-gacha-games-need-show-skin/

porque you know it almost never ends up like that. for every 50 bikini armors there is 1 shirtless ab guy. I agree that we need equal fanservice but we still don't get equal fanservice therefore I am still and always mad.

I mean obviously yes it's almost never like that, but that doesn't answer the question, which was 'why not'

dev/design time and costs? crying homophobes that find the men a little too attractive? simply not realizing that like half of gamers are into men? no thought put into it at all? all of the above?

[(Anonymous)]

Yes.

"dev/design time and costs?" lol, nope, this one is always an excuse not make games with diversity. Funny how lots of indie games, which way less time and money can do it.

A simpler answer is the same as in other industries: most game companies are led by (white) straight men, most executives are (white) straight men, they still make games for (white) straight men with stereotypical chara models they think will appeal more to their audience, in their narrow-minded mind, this is less financially risky. This industry is vastly mysognist, homophobic and racist as evidenced by all the workplace scandals that regularly come out, and doesn't care at all about inclusivity.

I do think superhero comics have got a lot better about this - more women in full body costumes, more men in skimpy costumes, heading towards a balance. So maybe games will too?

Straight men aren't the only people who play games. Gay men and straight women play too as well as plenty of bi people. Why is it only straight men that get catered to?
