Infinity Nikki released this week and the fandom not only has to suffer through the deluge of men looking for asspats for playing a "girls game", it's also handmaiden central with so many women actually making appreciation posts for GAMER MOIDS of all kinds of moid in the world.

Can anyone explain the thought process behind yumejoshis making their OC way more flameboyant and revealing than who they self ship with? And how it never focuses on their husbando but equal focus or even focuses on the woman? I'm a yumejoshi myself but my self insert is never the focal point because I don't see a need for it.

I remember moids coming to the discord wih the ps5 announcement and saying that paper will have to "accomodate them" with coomer fits since women don't play open-games and "the game will have to be profitable", I wish every female-led community didn't have the "be nice" rule so I could tell these scrotes to neck themselves.

>>2295615ok im back, i didn't fully download it because it's over 24gb (at first it says 1gb but then it requires 24gb). But from what i saw you can download the launcher (if you are on pc) on their official site. When downloaded it will open possibly in chinese so you have to change the language settings option by clicking on the settings tab.
After downloading it might crash. Also i checked and yes this is one of those games that are free-to-play but have alot of in-app-purchases just like a gacha or club penguin where you have to spend alot of money to have a good time or for your character to progress.
Finding the file location for this game is also a bit tricky….

>>2295601Fashion games are mostly aimed at audiences that primarily play on their phones now, or if they play on PC they are playing free web games now. Steam is broadly aimed at people who expect to frontload an initial purchase. The sort of person that is playing free dress up games on her phone is satisfied with what she has, has never heard of steam and the prospect of being expected to fork over cash (even if its for a complete game) comes across as preposterous. The Sims is free now, she could just download that from EA and then download all the free clothing mods she wants. The gaming industry did a bad job of capturing the 'fashion game' market and failed to convert them to the monetization schemes that were successful with other genres.
The new Nikki game is the first of it's kind in terms of production values and it will probably be very successful, it might inspire new games of it's kind to be made.

>>2296076Have you guys ever heard of the game Life Makeover? It’s a Chinese dress up game and has been out for years. You can purely just dress up. Do gacha games to win more makeup, dresses etc and do murder mystery story modes with hot guys. They also most recently had a sims like update where you have a house and animal and can decorate and have your friends come over and eat your food. The graphics are really nice too. Before it was just on mobile which honestly if you don’t have big space on your phone I wouldn’t recommend. But I think just this past summer it was added to steam and you can play it on your desktop which is 10x better. It reminded me of shining Nikki but shining Nikki you had to be Nikki but in this game it’s a self insert. You can also have dark skin which is rare for dress up games that aren’t American. I don’t play sims but to me it’s like the Chinese version of sims.

honestly, g3 clawdeen pisses me off more than frankie though, all of her dolls are a crime against good taste lol. ignoring frankie's they/themness is easier with some dolls when she's not dressed like a hot topic alpha stereotype.

>>2296164The answer is because straight women don't want to look at obvious coom material created by and for males, just like straight moids don't want to look at pretty anime boys being sweet and loving to (you) or being gay and cute with each other.
>>2297881Right, men seethed so much about Raiden in MGS2 that he was made ugly in subsequent games so scrotes wouldn't feel emasculated by his presence again. Scrotes can't go one day without lying their ass off. Men also seethed so hard over that one FF protagonist having a revealing outfit that the devs changed it before the game was even released. Moids who say they don't feel threatened by attractive 2D males aren't actually talking about male characters that women find beautiful and hot, they're talking about the generic "handsome" male designs they're used to seeing in their scrote-oriented media with non-threatening males, such as
>>2296264 this shit, and pornified females. I bet they can't actually name one video game where it's the opposite. They even had a mass meltdown when Love & Deepspace became the second most profitable gacha game in China (IIRC), they wanted to kill themselves and made hundreds of posts and videos about how cute CGI husbandos being popular is a sign that society is doomed and there's a scary epidemic of women choosing them over real moids, etc. (nevermind the fact that this exact phenomenon has been happening with moids and their waifus for at least 5 decades and it's even worse)
>>2296638I ended up going into that sub because I wanted to download the game, it was one of the top posts yesterday. Coward fucking handmaiden mods.
The comments were mostly based, just women sharing their experiences, venting out their frustrations that all of us are too familiar with, you know. There was a surprising amount of posts with a subtle anti-scrote sentiment
I suspected that some of those users were farmers kek Many users saying that they thought they were mean for even daring to think the scrote posts were annoying and condescending or backhanded compliments, but being relieved to find out that it wasn't just them.
But of course there had to be a comment with quite a few upvotes defending trannies. It said something like
>right and these men keep calling themselves MALE like you couldn't be any more open about being transphobic????If I had a Reddit account I honestly would've told her that MtF trannies are males and FtM trannies are female and that all males have to be gatekept out of female spaces, including MtFs, lest those communities become infested with annoying MALE degenerates and ruined beyond recognition as it happens every single time you allow troons into your female-only spaces.

>>2298996Kek well he’s pretty popular so I feel weird saying it like I’m bitter or smth. I’m mostly upset because his writing is suffering and he has listened to his fans for input and shipping (ugh first mistake) and has a new editor (second mistake). He said his old editor would say he probably shouldn’t write a book on a subject so he decided to anyways. It turned out to be true and the book sucked. The last book he released had a second story with flashbacks along the main story. It could have been cut and the length and story itself would not suffer. His latest one just released and it’s over 1K pages. Already I can see how he should have tightened chapters and narrowed character focus, there are too many characters. What really sucks is his writing reads like a juvenile roleplay on Yahoo chats. He used to have better character voices now he relies on a stock set of cliches. Many characters sound homogenous and their language is modern, like using “neurotic” when describing a relationship between two characters. In that fantasy world they wouldn’t pathologize it like in our world.

>>2300032Author is Brandon Sanderson.
>>2300046>>2300075I’m going to bounce between replying to you two. For example on writing women he did a decent job with Shallan (the character with multiple personalities before he decided she had that) and a few others. But because he started listening to his fans and decided that since Shallan admired her adult female mentor and also felt like an awkward young adult around her (she’s 16-17 at the start of the series I think) that she must be bi or gay. So he failed on that part because he agreed with the fans. Sorry awkward girls and female friendships, you lose. He also encouraged poly and trans characters due to the fans theories and input. He said he wouldn’t write gay characters because he wasn’t equipped but still put one in his magnum opus and it’s the cringiest thing, to quote the book “people can be gay, your thinking is old fashioned” or smth. Also a lesbian in his other series that says point blank she’s a lesbian in simple terms. Modern vernacular again.
He also uses Reddit a lot to understand characters so now his roster includes flat characters who represent: autism, atheism, agnosticism, a poor attempt at first wave feminism, asexuality, bisexual, lesbian, gay, depression, suicide, trauma, drug addiction, ptsd, multiple personalities, not being racist or sexist, and other such issues.
Reddit is a cesspool and feeds on itself. Even in his subs if you write a critique you’ll have people who work with him comment on a thread to gently correct you. I don’t know why he let go of his previous editor but it’s really starting to show with his latest book. I think the first editor helped keep his ideas manageable but now he can do no wrong so he continues making books with very little substance.
He had potential years ago but now I don’t see how he can continue his many series at this rate. I am continually disappointed as a fan.
No. 2300190
>>2300046As for ships he said Kaladin/Adolin/Shallan would be poly. Gross. In general this also affected his Mistborn trilogy because Era 2 got moved to the Western era and it’s 4-5 books. Who knows if he’ll get to Era 3. He bows down a lot to the fans. Like he said if there was an Era 1 Mistborn movie made he’d make some characters female because the book has too many male characters. However the dichotomy of being the only female main character with super strength helps her in the story because a character mentions the difference between the sexes - now taboo today. Things like that show he is pretty weak and wants everyone to be happy.
>>2300075Kek. There was an article last year where the author implied Brandon was autistic and he said he doesn’t think he is but then wrote a story about his high school times that sounded like he might be. Of course you can’t say anything bad about him. If he is or not I don’t care but having Reddit and his fans influence him is making his writing weak and I want to discuss it because I’m salty lmao.

if you don't mind, i'd be interested to hear some alternative recommendations you might have in the fantasy genre, since you seem well-versed. i've had a lot of problems with running into coomer "she breasted boobily"-tier writing in fantasy spheres (and ofc none of the moid reviews think to mention it because it's normal to them), and ngl sanderson not having any of this is what kept me with him for so long.

>>2300700Good on you anon. Are you a fan?
>>2300608He didn’t outright say it about the poly ship in canon but said in an alternate universe it could/would happen, just to appease the fandom. The troon thing was a a blink and you miss it (which I hope he doesn’t expound on) about a queen of some country who got magic powers and made herself into a man. There’s an official pooner king in universe for some reason. He also made a main character gay and I’m cringing at his upcoming POV chapters.
As for recommendations it depends on what you like.
1. Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan is a modern classic. Books 1-10 are good but I’d say after 7-8 it starts to fall off. There are 13/14 in total. It’s a sprawling epic and does have some repetitive description but characters grow and change and complete an epic quest. I really enjoyed it for themes about male friendship and men and women working together, his world building etc. Sanderson took up the helm after Jordan passed because his work was incomplete at the time of his death. He tried his best but he messed up a favorite character of mine at the end. Don’t watch the show. The creator(s) openly said they didn’t read the books and also hate the series.
2. The Sharing Knife series by Lois McMaster Bujold. A 4 book series. I didn’t complete it because my library didn’t have them all at the time (they’re 20 years old I just looked lol) but I’m sure you can find them today. From what I remember it was about a man and a woman and a special knife with powers, overcoming one’s prejudice and marrying into another culture. I enoyed it for a bit of romance added to my fantasy reading.
3. The Sevenwaters Trilogy by Juliet Marillier. She does a great deal of research for her books. This series is actually 6 books in total. I think I stopped at on the third because it went into a weird rant at the end lol. The first story is a mythological retelling of the swan and her brothers and it goes on from there. It’s based in Briton/Ireland in sixth century and also includes Irish spellings of names and culture, thankfully there’s a glossary with phonetics included lol. There’s romance but I enjoyed it for its historical details and the genealogy of the family throughout the series. The book follows the child from the first book and so on.
Those are rather large series and older so if you want something modern I can look around. Hope it helps anon.
>>2300581Well he obviously didn’t listen and is always eager to approve of his fans ideas. He’s not worried about stealing, it’s more-so approving what they say. It’s a different type of fanbase that has a lot of creativity, which I can enjoy at times, but also can have the power to force what they want. I think it’s going to come back to bite him in the end.

>>2300008ayrt and I knew it was gonna be Sanderson. His writing is so shit, I'd put off reading anything by him for years but kept seeing his work recced in seemingly every 'best fantasy' list, and was honestly appalled when I finally caved and gave him a shot. Read Way of Kings since everyone was raving about it, thought it was garbage so tried Mistborn, but it had the exact same problems, and so did his first book, Elantris. His prose is beige and juvenile, but also unbelievably long-winded– felt like I was reading a particularly boring 14 year old's epic fantasy draft the whole time, or an appliance instruction manual.
His worldbuilding is also pretty weak, especially if you're familiar with a wide range of sf/f authors, yet his fans won't shut up about it, and his magic systems/the action used to execute them read like an autist trying to describe every detail of a combat clip from a video game. I don't mind more modern terminology being used in fantasy, but his use feels less like it's helping to build the world and more like he just didn't think about the implications of such word choice. All of his books would be improved by being edited to 350 pages, and no one will ever change my mind on that. I will also never get over the stupid currency used in Stormlight lmao, or the mmo emote spren.
Sorry I could screech about Sanderson and his insipid reddit cult for hours kek. Criticism of his work is comparatively rare because even mild dislike will summon his white knights to come defend his shitty books, so many don't bother or assume that because the books have such a positive reputation, that it's them who is at fault or the wrong person to be reading them.
No. 2301112
>>2301079Thank you
nonny. I’ve had the same thoughts and it sucks you can’t voice them for fear of the fandom wrath.
I actually liked Mistborn era 1 because it was his first trilogy and the writing was better than his debut novel. At the time he only had those four books when I discovered him and was still rather unknown. Around Warbreaker I realized his work had a lot of weakness and repetitive character archetypes which years later hurt his multiple series because I often get characters confused with one another. His grand spanning crossovers aren’t helping much either. I can’t afford to keep up.
He was getting better with WoK and the second one but by the third or fourth book a lot of characters regressed and I couldn’t stand it. I also read Mistborn era 2 suffered a lot from flat characters but I haven’t read past the novella of era 2 which started Wax and Wayne. I’m salty changed a lot of the setting from the previous trilogy. It’s like going from Avatar to Korra.
His world building and magic systems I enjoy(ed) to a point. His novel way of showing magic in his worlds was stronger in the first few books and felt refreshing and unique. I would agree with you that if his works were 350-500 pages he would do just fine. I think that’s what made him a good author in the past because he had restraints. His new editor and leagues of fans (beta readers especially) are slowing him down and not telling him hard truths in love so his current books are declining in what little quality they had before.

>>2299103Listen, disgusting freak, it's not the devs' fault that YOU fetishize normal women's clothes in a dress-up game for WOMEN. Women don't see it that way, YOU do because you're a degenerate male. Do you also point at underage schoolgirls in real life and tell the whole world that their uniforms are """lewd""" like a raging pedophile? Because if you do, you need to be thrown into jail ASAP. You want to goon to virtual girls wearing normal clothes as a fetish? Go play hentai rape games instead, this game isn't for you unlike 90% of all anime games out there.
God, I wish I had an account there so I could reply this to him. I'm so sick of scrotes, they need to be publicly shamed into shutting up. Women on social media are too fucking nice to tell the truth directly to their gross pedocoomer faces. They (males) wouldn't have the same restraint with women.

No. 2301572
>>2301112I can understand why people might like his earlier work, especially if they read it at the time it was coming out, but what I don't get is how hard it's hyped up to this day. Like many authors, what potential he may have had has been squandered by having 'made it' in publishing– he has no reason to improve, aside from love of the craft, which I personally do not feel from his work or what I've seen of his opinion on it/writing in general. I'm sorry that the series you enjoyed fell apart, that always sucks, and yeah his attempt at crossovers/shared universe stuff is clunky at best and detrimental to the individual stories at worst (I heard that the latest/end(?) of Mistborn era 2 involved focus being shifted to cosmere stuff over the existing characters/storylines, but idk of course how true that was just that I wouldn't be surprised). I don't really get why he's insistent on making a Marvel multiverse out of his stories, or why his sycophantic fans think a shared-universe is unique to Sanderson.
>>2301121kek I agree, although imo 'hard' or explained magic systems can work in the right story (eg HP technically has a harder than soft magic system, which works with the school setting, and alchemical/component based systems can be a lot of fun too), but their major flaw imo is that it places all of the magic on characters and removes it from the world at large, which kills the fantasy feel (I don't think I've seen a true hard magic system, with no background soft magic, that didn't just feel like a tool wielded by the main characters like xmen powers in the end). I also feel like a lot of people don't get that soft magic systems aren't absent of explanation too, and that very few books really just resort to 'a wizard did it' or 'no rules, only convenience' style magic, but hey this stuff is championed by redditors so I guess the erroneous simplification is expected kek

The redditors weren't having it and downvoted that post into oblivion. No matter what you do or say, critiquing the very notion of hard magic will surely get the sanderson attack dogs on your rear. I knew I had. Honestly, after lurking these subs, I've grown to just hate the concept of over-explained magic and it's many forms. They could've stuck to capeshit or scifi but nope, fantasy must make sense somehow.
Everytime I see a scrote sperg about "soft magic bad" I often wonder what's the point? If hard magic good, why is it bad to use the opposite or something in the middle? Aren't all "magic" systems
valid in the end?
No. 2301743
>>2301697From my experience, people who fervently rag on soft magic systems like that are either a) speds who need everything explained to them like a set of video game mechanics and have rigid boundaries and limits that are transparently described because anything else makes them feel confused and head-hurty, or b) just dunking on soft magic because they've heard it's bad and lack familiarity with the fantasy genre to know what it actually means other than that their pet author likes writing magic systems one way over the other. Sanderson has a lot of both as his fans (with imo type A also being the same ones that crow on and on about the supposed depth and emotionality of his characters, even though, as another anon said, Sanderson bluntly and repeatedly beats his readers over the head about any aspect of, well,
anything he's writing, but particularly in this case his character's feelings and motivations, to the point that it's impossible
not to understand them, shallow as they are). Hard, soft, and the gradient of magic systems in between have their place and suit certain stories, it's not a one-size-fits-all situation.
Actually, I've always found his fans kinda odd, as it's seemed to me that they're more fans of Sanderson himself/the
idea of his work rather than a particular series or character/s. I rarely see them break reddit containment to produce fan content, only to white knight in comment sections on other platforms. Idk, for all his series gets harped on about, I've seen barely any fanart or references to it, unlike other popular fantasy series (though his work has definitely had an impact on published fantasy, don't get me wrong). Weird.

Fandom culture is so prolife some fanfic read like the plot of an evangelical movie about abortion. So many fanfics with forced pregnancy as a result rape where the ending is them not only keeping the baby but raising them. So of course when a game is made about rape culture and one of the characters is pregnant this is the reaction to any fanart that features realistic depictions of post partum.

I just want to complain about how annoying and slightly lonely it is being a small dev that isn't into gender stuff. I can tolerate a lot but this is just getting ridiculous kek.

But when people you're working with start grilling you it effects how the project will come out and I think it's more likely said people will try to dig dirt on you than a stranger passing by your games page wondering where's the top scar option

This rhetoric is genuinely exhausting. Imagine if people started calling black fans ‘racist’ whenever they dislike a black character. But we don’t. Why? Because their opinions are the ones which actually matter most when it comes to black characters, and because racism is infinitely more important in the context of real people over fiction. But then you have these tards who argue that huge swathes of female fans are inherently misogynistic(???) for not putting every female character in existence on a pedestal. Straight men couldn’t give less of a fuck about male characters. Expecting women to behave differently is just another form of misogyny in and of itself. “I want women to ignore their own interests and make stuff for me” is not the progressive take these people seem to think it is. Women don’t owe anyone anything with regards to the fan content they make. Fandom is literally just a hobby: they’re 100% entitled to create what they personally like and nothing else. I can’t wait for people to grow out of this phase the same way they grew out of that 2018 era ‘fujoshis are le problematic man fetishisers!!!!!’ crap.
No. 2312504
>>2312492I agree with everything you said but the other thing that bugs me about that discourse is that the treatment of female characters is super fandom dependent. Kids are apparently out here consuming nothing but yaoi bait and media created by misogynists and then acting like yaoibait fandom is representative of all fandom. There's plenty of fandoms where the fan favorites are female characters, even ones where the juggernaut ships are lesbian despite canon pairings being mostly straight. Like, I'm sorry fans of this thing don't like the same stuff as you, but that's a you problem, not a fandom problem.
And that's a generous take, I know. This rhetoric has nothing to do with with what they actually like: they don't care about the female characters in that IP either, but they've been taught that noticing and calling out this kind of thing gets them virtue points in online discourse which I guess they think they can trade for guilt free consumption of fanwork they find morally distasteful in some way. It's an immature thought process and it's so fucking annoying to listen to.

>>2312520What you're saying only applies to shipping. That's the issue, people like the one on the screenshot think that just because women often like to ship men with each other or like to self insert in a female character means they dislike female characters as a whole. There are plenty of women who like a lot of female characters a lot out there, but whoever believe that "women are male centered because they mostly talk about male characters" doesn't even see these women talk about whatever their favorite stories and characters are in the first place. I could endlessly sperg about shojo manga I like and grew up with on social media and talk about the female characters in these manga but nobody would notice because of what

definitely aren’t making fancontent themselves. Fandoms begins and ends with the shitposts the algo feeds them to these people.

triggers them) that have actually posted here before shitting on all female characters like she was about to come out as a TIF. Of course, they're just a minority, but their unhinged mentality really gives a bad name to all fujos. Anyone normal knows that fujos aren't a monolith, they all have their reasons to like yaoi and they have different opinions on female characters, it's just that people tend to notice the negative more than the positive so the misogynistic fujos stand out, especially when they publicly agree with each other so it looks like the whole fujo community is like that.

Simply not getting offended when people point out something that's true or just trashing on a piece of media you like because it's scrotey or gives off coomer vibes, and not going "omg women can't like anything anymore i swear!!" (esp. when the media is literally made for moids) is what I mean by "accepting it's trash". SxF being breeder propaganda isn't just something that was made up to make you feel bad about liking it either, It's a genuine theory some people have, you don't have to feel attacked when someone says it's shounen (for moids) and possibly breeder propaganda. I think it's overrated slop and the theory is funny to me but this isn't equivalent to me pointing a gun to your head demanding that you stop liking it.
Like yes you can like it, but just because some women like it doesn't mean it's immune to criticism. And other anons are and should be free to say why they didn't like it

They think if you like something like KLK you're either a moid or a turbopickme misogynist, but the anons on the opposite side think any critique here towards their favorite moid media that mentions obvious coomer or sexist shit is censorship and too extreme so they defend that media tooth and nail and brand anyone else a schizo.

>>2313075Sadly lolcow just isn't the place for this kind of talk, at least not this thread or other big threads full of bait.
I once posted Reni from Sakura Wars in the transwashed thread on /m/ and someone still had to bitch at me that she is from a moid franchise, despite the fact she most likely never played it, never watched the live shows, never listened to the songs, has no idea which parts of it are moidy and which are not, etc. Basically posting a female character from any japanese franchise causes immediate combustion in the average master baiter in this website, even if said franchise is female friendly and not something like an obscure PC porn game.
And no, before anyone puts words in my mouth, I'm not saying no one is allowed to criticize any sort of japanese slop and its misogyny, especially lolishit, I'm simply saying that weebshit attracts bait or retards who post so badly they might as well be shitposters.

written by men for men . Its annoying as fuck to always moralfag women and ask them to be kinder to male artists/writers.

I am so fucking sick of woke morons who are only okay with women having this sort of hobby if they can use us as political pawns. Not only that, but the majority of fujos being lgbt is incredibly americanized opinion and conveniently ignores that the vast majority of fujos are straight women and if they knew this fact they'd go right back to dehumanizing women.

Lots of fujos like female characters but just exclude them when it comes to BL for obvious reasons. Some of the best f/f fanfics I've read have been written by authors who mostly write m/m. I absolutely love lots of different female characters from shallow ones to ones with more characterization. It's not that deep.
>>2314022Fandom misogyny is troons getting mad at ACTUAL women (likely straight/bi yumes and fujos) for making free creative content about FICTIONAL characters they like. Of course the troon is fixated on female characters. Why are male weebs never interrogated for not caring about male characters? It's like they view us as content machines instead of people.

>>2314202>Some of the best f/f fanfics I've read have been written by authors who mostly write m/mThis is what frustrates me the most. I feel there is a noticeable overlap between yuri and yaoi fanbases. Some of my favorite yuri mangaka started out by drawing yaoi manga. When Yuri Hime first launched, most of its stories were written by shoujo and yaoi mangaka. But for some reason, a certain section of western yurifags are unbearably catty towards fujos. And they have this notion that fujos lose their minds at the mere existence of a female character kek. I am certain that when AO3 releases its stats for 2024, they will blame fujoshis again if their favorite f/f ship isn't in the list.

>>2315124Probably my most favorite female character (though it's a close battle between her and some others), but the title really gotta go to her since she's genuinely a super well written support character full of her own flaws. She's also funny, a shit-stirrer and her angst story just gives her bonus pity points. The author knew how good she is she kept her as a recurring character even after her graduation heh.

And personally, playing as 'me' is so boring anyway, I don't get why you would want to kek.
Branching off of this though, tbh, in some respects, the custom character/Tav in BG3 makes the fandom a bit insufferable in general– the game has a lot to offer, but it often gets boiled down to a self-insert dating sim by a lot of people, with all the events/characters being reframed to match. It's cool to enjoy that aspect of the game, of course, but it does effect the way fans behave towards both the game itself and fandom content. Maybe it's calmed down though now, and it wasn't like it was truly specific to BG3– games encourage retard behaviour by indulging the player all the time anyway, I guess it just felt more potent because BG3 was so popular and brought in a lot of genre newbies.

>>2315280>>2316387There honestly isn't a lot of het content in twst, especially when in the manga there's only been one female Yuu (and I think most of the fandom doesn't care about the manga anyway), people just assume the school is an all boys one. I've seen people ship Lilia and Maleanor with some flavors of self inserting, but there just isn't enough content to support that. Yuu is barely acknowledged in a lot of story and events, too, so it isn't like it heavily panders to the yume crowd. Even Malleus fans who thought he was in love with the MC were up in arms when chapter 7 happened and he said he loves Lilia, instead.

>>2316596idk, but personally I find role playing games where you play a more specific character with limited customisation (eg Geralt from Witcher) more interesting and engaging than the ones geared towards more blank-slate self-insertion (eg Elder Scrolls games) because there's nothing for me to stick to with how the game's writing ends up catering to that mechanic (it works great in ttrpgs but games have very limited resources so the choices you engage with to express yourself/character are both restrictive and usually dull or have low/no impact on the game at large). I don't mind it when the rpg aspects are mostly mechanical/stats and not narrative like Dark Souls though. Each to their own though.
As for relating to a character, I don't really need them to be anything other than interesting tbh, and I kinda hate the way 'relatability' gets pushed in fiction anyway since it usually just leads to more bland, marketable everyman/woman characters as they need to be palatable and inoffensive to be considered such (this is just a common misunderstanding of decent writing advice, similar to how a character being 'likeable' is often translated into them being generically nice with no real negative traits). I also think that a lot of those generic white straight guy characters aren't actually seen as relatable/representative by men, but as invisible vessels to act out the game through, given just enough traits to have a semblance of marketable personality and for the plot to chug along (similar to how a lot of female protagonists are really just lightly flavoured skins for the reader to inhabit in a lot of YA/romance novels). Some characters are more for function than anything else. Maybe we do need more female generic, shell-person protagonists though, if only to curb the terrible personality and dialogue they keep being given in recent games kek
I do want to see more varied depictions in media like games, don't get me wrong, just not the kind that exists to cater to its audience's narcissistic urge to relate to only themselves. Rather, I want to see the sort that leads to fresh characters, stories, visuals, and ideas being explored in the medium. 'Representation' has become such a poisoned topic, but it does of course have value at the heart of it.

I think the waifufags in this thread need to open their third eye and realise that their real enemy is not fujoshis but the moids who make their waifus in the first place. I'll use Genshin as a case study, since the topic of 'coombait' is pretty contentious for that fandom right now. In the early days of 2020, you rarely ever saw Genshin waifu discourse. While there were certainty sexualised designs and tacky accessories, it wasn't anything a fashionable girly-girl wouldn't wear herself, like Fischl's cute goth outfit. It was tastefully restrained, and you could tell that the women existed as both waifus and characters in their own right with fun and wacky personalities. Then comes Natlan, and everything goes downhill. Almost every woman is either naked or bound in a skin-tight stripper outfit. Most can be boxed into generic 'badass dommy mommy' or 'blushy loli' types. The balance that existed is gone. Female fans aren't stupid: we live under the patriarchy, so we know excessive objectification when we see it. We therefore turn up our noses. Now you have troons and yurifags on Twitter calling straight women 'misognists' en masse and getting angry that we won't give the new waifus a scrap of attention. But why should we? Female fans clearly love the older women like Hu Tao and Yae Miko despite being them obvious waifus. The key difference is that the charm is now almost completely gone, leaving only coom. Who's the victim in that scenario? Men? Waifufags? Or straight women who have to see their favourite gacha morph from a cute, funny waifu/husbando game into a misogynistic cesspit of male sexual fantasy? Have a little more empathy, nonas. We're not your enemy. Male creators are.

>>2316875The difference between yurifags and fujoshis is that when fujoshis squeal and write essays on male characters, no matter how ‘profound’ or ‘deep’ or passionate the writing makes itself out to be, fujos know deep down that at the end of the day it’s all just fun and games. Yurifags act like their adoration of female characters is some profound and holy act that transcends all fiction and informs their quality of person as a whole. So when yurifags see fujoshis putting on a silly act, they assume that fujoshis think the same way as yurifags do. We do not.

There's an actual problem in many fandoms where even female fans treat female characters badly, even well written ones that aren't just coombait (and yes, many of them are shippers and husbandofags, including fujos and yumes who get jealous of female characters, don't try to deny it because those who are guilty of this always talk about it online), but it's also true that there are virtue signalers out there who just want to bash fujoshi or avoid criticism for something else. Both things are true, anyone who thinks only one is true must be underage or someone who participates in that retarded "discourse" on Twitter and wants to bring the "discourse" and be proven "right" by others like her here, where the other Twitterfags can't see her. It's pathetic tbh. First it was straight yumes and now it's lesbians who live rent free in their heads, I don't fucking get it, it's not like there are that many himes and waifufags.
God forbid women are sick of female characters getting bad writing and designs and wanting cool characters that they can relate to or be proud of. Female characters do indeed get more bad writing than male ones because most influential media is made by men, the worst male characters get is being bland, but female characters get turned into one walking stereotype that doubles as a sex object all the time. But there are good ones out there, and those are sadly not always well known or appreciated by female fans. There can be a balance between rejecting terrible representations of women in fiction and blind hatred of anything that doesn't have a penis but Twitter people are too retarded and addicted to the adrenaline they get from online slapfights to get it. Or maybe autistic idk

Second not all female characters that are criticized by female fans are coombait, you're assuming that because you refuse to admit you might be wrong so you pretend we are only talking about this one objectively bad thing. Have you forgotten about those cases where female actresses got harassed by shippers for playing a character that gets "in the way" of their ship?
Regardless, I don't know why everybody keeps seething about the other's opinions when everybody here would like better female characters that we'd actually relate to, all of us hate coombait, even those of us who like some coombait characters would prefer it if they weren't. We all want the same thing except for the weirdos who can't fathom liking media and characters for reasons other than coom. Retarded infight
>>2316934You can enjoy them while having some problems with their design or writing, and the threshold depends on the person and her personal opinions and experiences. Saying Pokemon protagonists always wear suspiciously short and tight fitting clothes and that you dislike it isn't the same as saying that you hate the characters and can't even look at them. If an anime character's skirt doesn't go below the knee and you cant like it because of it that's your personal choice, but nobody should be forcing other women to dislike stuff, especially something that tame. If it were a character from a hentai game or something that might be worthy of some raised eyebrows but otherwise who cares

BL game Slow Damage by nitro chiral had an English translation that the wokalizer company (JAST) threw all sorts of shitty American slang in and changed third person POV to first person POV to attract the self inserters, pissing off the people who played the game in JP and any new fans with a working brain capable of identifying artificially tampered dialogue. The localized team members are chronically online (you can guess from them putting 4chan lingo like buttslut in the game) so fans tried to reach out to them on twitter, but they cried about being bullied at the smallest criticism and encouraged their followers to pile on anyone who spoke out.
In the end a small group of fans released a patch that rewrote like 90% of the butchered dialogue to better reflect the original JP (with proper translation, not mtl or overly direct translation). Cue stupid and brainless accusations from the JAST bootlicker fans and the localizer teams' sockpuppet accounts:
>this is so disprectful to to JAST's hard work!!(but the buttslut memes are not disrespectful to the original writer ofc)
>this is mtl! (It obviously isn't and the translators explain that in reddit post and TL notes that comes with patch)
>the translator is fake, they started playing the game a week ago!! (the person from the translation patch group who posted the patch online playtested the game before release and tweeted about it)
>the translation team are twansphobic bigots!!! (In regards to the patch removing forcibly added pronouns by JAST and restoring the instance where an okama-ish character is called a male)
>JAST totally got permission from the JP writers to butcher their work!!! Sauce is my ass (never mind that JAST constantly complained about being unable to fix bugs due to nitro chiral not responding to them)

Surprisingly enough, some of these starred adult mcs which genuinely caught me off guard.

>like I said: brainrotColors can significantly elevate a piece, which is difficult when everything is just black, white, with the occasional grey. Some manga achieve this without a shred of color, but it helps to avoid making everything look muddy given the values spared in manga. The issue with some webtoons is that the colors often feel off or fail to set the mood of a panel. Somebody who has sensory issues may even struggle to read if everything looks like a kid barfed glitter and rainbow paint all over the page. It's fine to some, but I see why staunch haters of the medium might feel alienated by how manwha is made lately. I don't care.

>>2320277>>2320269I agree in general she looks better with her darker skin.
I was just poking fun at BNHA fans who think the mangaka cares about it as much or in the same way they do and that to him any perceived issues with the anime start and end with Mirko.
I don't think there's anything wrong with complaining about Mirko being weirdly lighter than her manga counterpart same way fans complain about raceswaps in adaptations. She looks better in his drawings anyway. I just don't think he cares about it the way the fans do.
I feel a bit bad for fans who think he's committed to representation or whatever. I wish they would raise an African or black comic/mangaka artist, they would be so much happier instead of simping for a Japanese man who doesn't view her the way they do.

However, I do think that the cut off is around 16, not 12. I believe if you're a young teenage girl, and what's pushed around as "cute" or "beautiful" or even "smart" are things that never seem to be things you have it does kind of fuck with your perception of what's deemed those things.

This might get me booed and heckled, but I am not at all bothered by skin tone if the character is too fanservicey anyway. I am brown, and when I saw picrel, I was more weirded out by the fact that the girl is operating in a low-cut top with half of her tits out. But twitterfags were only complaining about her being white. They also keep harassing women who complain about the lack of male characters in the recent patch of Genshin Impact because "ree why are you complaining about no male characters when you should be complaining about the lack of dark-skinned characters!!1". If I were to complain about the lack of representation in entry-level weebshit, I feel more sad about the fact that many female characters are designed to be coombait for moids rather than skin tone.

Either way this discourse has more value in like…India where you rarely ever see dark skinned actresses or in Nigeria where skin bleaching is rampant with celebrities.

>>2320324>I agree as well with that sentiment but if you're an American child I'm assuming you're watching more than just foreign cartoons.Yes and no. I can't speak for every American child's experience but I think it depends on what the American child watches and when they watched those things. Because now I don't think that's a problem for children at all, things are way more diverse that the only people who complain ad-nauseum about diversity are either stunted man children who screech at the sight of a character being 0.5 darker and a pound heavier than the norm or stunted woman children who screech at the sight of a character 0.5 lighter and a pound lighter than the norm. I.e. retards obsessed with identity politics.
However I will say that a lot of the time compared to now there wasn't as much representation and there definitely wasn't enough positive representation for young black girls who could be feminine and cute as there are now. I'm also going to throw in, again, that there's the matter of what the child was into because there definitely were a subset of young black girl weeaboos who developed the most herculean (and kind of retarded looking back on it) insecurities because of chinese cartoons featuring bug eyed bimbos. pic semi related

Back to shinji i don't give a fuck if he is 14 years old he sexually assaulted asuka and he deserves to be set on fire for that. All this 2deep4u rape media does is humanize rapists, normalize rapey behaviour and objectification of women and any time you try to adress that the root of it is misogyny it gets swept under the rug and it's acksually because of mental illness that they cannot control and women are just as guilty of hurting the moid, that we try to understand them and perform more emotional labour for them, basically "you should be nicer if you don't want to be harrassed/raped" instead of stoning them or lock them up for life.

The pedo jokes were making me uncomfortable from the start. Also the bullying arc was fucking stupid and childish.
It's a shame because some of the female characters were interesting but then the best one (Kana) turned just into harem fodder and her only purpose was to be jealous of the ultra boring male main character. Somehow shit like this is praised by anime fans though.

Why do men like traps so much? I genuinely dont get it, are all men bisexual? I never see this phenomenon on stuff for women. Closest is the female main character being boyish (Ouran and Aoharu x kikanjuu come to mind) but none where the female main character has a reverse trap love interest.

No. 2323590
>>2323577>There was a show this season with the gimmick being the female leads all being reverse traps.yeah but that show was for waifufags with a reverse trap fetish, if its the show i think it is then the mc is a man isnt it?
>Stuff like Paradox Live also have trapsi mean reverse traps, ofcourse there will be male traps in show for women because they are men. But i have never seen reverse traps(women dressing up as men) in stuff for women.
>>2323579yeah but yuri is for lesbians or men so it makes sense they have a reverse trap. If it was a shoujo it wouldnt make sense, which is something that happens a lot in harem shit for ''straight'' moids.

>>2323592No, it's a het relationship that's read mostly by women and written by a woman and got a live action adaption targeting women where the premise is a romantic relationship between a reverse trap and a man.
Also considering ouran hs's and ensemble stars both have female protagonists, wouldn't that make it automatically yuribait?

>>2323598i think you arent understanding me
nonny… i meant how in harem for men, with male protagonists, there is almost always a trap character that makes the male mc doubt if he's gay or not. In both your case and
>>2323593 the relationships are straight, even if one of them is a reverse trap.
>Also considering ouran hs's and ensemble stars both have female protagonists, wouldn't that make it automatically yuribait?Yeah, that's what i dont understand. Why do moids want to see cocks in their harem/gachashit so badly, while women dont. I swear they are all faggots. If there was a reverse trap in my reverse harem/joseimuke i would stop watching it or uninstall it asap, i genuinely dont understand how seemingly ''straight'' men can like cock so much, its fucking weird.
>>2323596I watch anime anon i already know that, that wasnt even my question. I just dont understand why men are so gay and love traps like astolfo and felix so much. I play a lot of joseimukes and i have never seen a reverse trap there because joseimuke players arent homos like men.

Oh, then this then.
Astolfo and Felix are memes made by ironic weebs to seem edgy and wild, Felix isn't even gay.
No. 2323603
>>2323602I had no idea about that, does the mc also acts all '''uhhh am i gay for liking a girl if she dress like a boy??'' like the fag male mc or is she at least a stacy that accepts it.
>Astolfo and Felix are memes made by ironic weebs to seem edgy and wild, Felix isn't even gay.they are still fetish characters meant for men and felix does make the mc question his sexuality a bit if i remember correctly.

No. 2323608
>>2323607Not really, I just he has an interesting character hidden behind the trap gimmick that might end up having a tragic ending.
Felix was actually originally considered to be an option for final villian, and was probably going to raise an army of the dead using the Sacrament of the Immortal King, a notnecromicon iirc taken from his father when he went insane trying to resurrect his dead wife.

>>2323590>But i have never seen reverse traps(women dressing up as men) in stuff for women.It's a staple of the genre because of Takarazuka which is also very popular with women in real life. How could you not know
Jsyk a reverse trap can be draw in a typical coomerified moeshit way when she's made for scrotes, but you can clearly tell when that's not the case, since shoujo and josei mangaka draw women in a very different way (basic shit really)

>>2323668There was Seiya in Sailor Moon (and Haruka also had her moments with making the girls les panic) and Ran in Hana no Kishi as well. Rika was really popular with straight women and gay women as well. But it is hard to come up with examples…

>>2323623Did the LADS players ask for recommendations? And why do women who read otome treat it like high literature? The guys are rarely appealing, the MC almost always a passive doormat (which funny enough, makes it impossible to have an engaging plot) yet so many otome games try to focus on "plot" while completely sidelining the romance.
>>2323693Tokimeki Memorial Girls Side, specifically 3 on the PSP. You can molest the LIs on dates and in the PSP verison of 3 you can choose between 2 different personality types for the MC, one is your typical otome MC and the other, a cute devilish personality (best because this personality makes the LIs blush and stutter). Don't play the Switch version because it's an old port of the PS2 version, which doesn't have the devilish personality type and is missing several other features as well.

>>2323573Same reason women like reverse traps I guess
Most traps are just drawn exactly the same as a female character anyway

>>2323667>bl and galge games are surprisingly well written, meanwhile otome is really just a shoujo in powerpoint formThe best known BLge (nitro chiralare a spinoff of a company that mostly does horror themed plotge while the best known otome company (otomate) are a spinoff company of the dudes who made those shitty neptunia meme games
Due to how many come out a year I wonder if they just write a bunch of them off on their taxes sometimes
It’s a quality over quantity thing I suppose (I still play BL, otome and galge none the less)

when did fandoms become so autistic about skin color? it feels like every week there's some outrage about how

>>2324733Kek I was thinking about the same thing. It's funny how Twitter libfems and male gachacels have the same talking points. A single(1) male character - who is otherwise completely covered up - takes off his shirt for a split second and suddenly he is one same level with female characters that have

>>2324761>that picKekarooo how did such a vomit-inducing character manage to gain a dedicated fanbase. Female characters from Western vidya get dragged over far smaller things, but this monstrosity gets a free pass.
>Why is one disgusting to moids, but the other is a "literally me" character for them?I don't get it either. Picrel is as generic as it gets, but they still feel threatened by him. I think it has to do with the fact that gacha tends to attract the most bottom-of-the-barrel men who feel threatened by any and every man existing in the same plane as their waifu.
