    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.

    IMO any content that idolizes immature bodies is bound to attract the worst human beings possible, by design.

    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.

    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.

      I agree with you. I think this is definitely one of their cutest characters. I really like the cat girl character design when it’s harmless and light-hearted. People get so into this stuff and act like they are real

      They banned me from the subreddit for low karma because I was responding to people telling them how gross those kind of comments were, and that of course decreases your karma. They also remove people’s comments if they are not directly praising this kind of behavior. Any sort of controversial comments don’t show up there for that exact reason.

        They also remove people’s comments if they are not directly praising this kind of behavior [the behavior common in that community]. Any sort of controversial comments don’t show up there for that exact reason.

        Just a heads up, this happens all the time on Lemmy too. Everywhere where humans talk to each other, this happens. Different topic, same reaction.

        I personally am not a fan of “toxic positivity” or not allowing people to make critical observations without sending them to the Shadow Realm. It is harmful to legitimate discussion which could be quite interesting as long as the participants don’t start name calling or doxxing or whatever. It seems like nowadays you either have to be 100% positive about literally everything and have no critical thought or you are ejected into space.

          I think this is the natural conclusion to modern social media. Constantly being confronted by a billion different worldviews and farming people for engagement by showing them things they disagree with is just going to breed extreme echo chambers.

            Yes, most definitely. It is most apparent in smaller groups and userbases, but can quickly become more widespread across larger userbases. That’s not to say that all comments need to be critical, but the extreme tribalism that social platforms have been creating is not a good contribution to society moving forward.

    There are 2 problems here.

    • The company drawing a (probably underaged) character nude with a towel.
    • The player base sexualizing a (probably underaged) character.
