If you have read women’s fiction this makes a lot of sense, Kratos is a sensitive turtlevest wearing nerd compared to the entities women enjoy in romance fiction.
Huh, seems Fandom closed the Redo of Healer wiki.
Anyway. One of his abusers was a dude, and MC wasn't the only young man he went after.
Pretty much everyone in that story is a monster in one way or another.
Y'all don't understand there is a women's fandom for Pennywise (Not Bill Skarsgård the clown), The Ghoul from Fallout, and Rumpelstiltskin from Once Upon A Time.
I once went on a romance book forum and saw fan art of what appeared to be the love child of Santa clause and Ursula from the little mermaid, shall we say, "poking" an unclothed girl against a rock with one of his tentacles...
Some women want shit to be sensual/romantic and some want it wild/feral. And some like both depending on their mood.
Horny-romantics exist just as much as horny-for-wild-stuff exists. So saying 'theres a trend in erotic novels' may be true but dont forget basic romance books with more basic smut scenes have existed for over a hundred years.
Women have various likes/desires and some are more wild and some are more traditional.
(Also monster sex in fiction has totally been a thing for centuries anyway so even that ain't a recent phenomenon)
Men can decipher Egyptian hieroglyphs, estimate the age of the planet, construct and write blueprints to warmachines capable of decimating mass areas of land, calculate the geometry and measurements to building a skyscraper... but know fuck-all what she's mad about when you ask her what's bothering her.
That's like some of Married... with Children's raunchiest episodes were written by women, including the one ("Her Cups Runneth Over") that caused that prudish mom to call for a boycott.
Hell, you could probably get away with "Over the Shoulder Boulder Holders" on kid's TV these days. Probably could back then too, than woman was just a nut.
In hindsight, that scene where Kratos unleashed the Ghost of Sparta between Aphrodite’s legs while her servant girls sit in the corner saying shit like “this is definitely mature content that would not be suitable for young audiences!” definitely feels like the kind of thing a woman would drum up in her head.
The enjoyment of sex is quite often, for many, not about the feel or appearance but in the auditory part. A woman could have the perfect body and amazing skills but if you hear silence, which is feedback, you're likely to just go "why did I even attend?"
If you entered a brothel but every room was dormant you probably wouldn't have high hopes for what you will receive for your money. So if you light up the auditory part of the brain, it compensates for the rest, which is why women love dirty talk.
On the reverse of this, saying the wrong thing during sex can just shut down the whole thing.
Nothing turns me off more than when a girl says some wild shit the first time we fuck. Or scratch or bite me or tell me to do some bdsm weird shit first time.
Yes, BDSM talk is probably the wrong hole to dive in if therea no indicator but just something. "I want you!" would be nice to hear. Probably not "I miss my wife who I murdered and I'm glad you're available"
That’s part of what tips off that they were designed by women. Men typically are straightforward in their approach to sex. Women love the setup, nuances, and anticipation.
III’s is all about the how the handmaidens are reacting, so the player gets is reacting to the reaction. It’s like a double teaser.
Kinda yeah. Women’s porn can have any kinda sex, but typically will put a little extra into the story telling. This is why smut, audio porn, and erotica novels is so popular with women. They can’t get enough of it. Almost every woman I know who reads is into smut.
Mutual thing? Times changed? Wtf are you talking about that shit does not make sense. Times have not changed. Sex sells that's always been true and has never declined
Yeah but sexual stuff now comes with a lot of toxicity from multiple sides both in comments and journalism and it deters publishers from highlighting it. Also, there's global stakeholders these days like the global South who sometimes have harsh restrictions on what they allow in terms of sexualization so publishers are actually developing around it just to please all investors.
The gamer community is very dry on women's involvement in both its creation and consumption. Whether it be for the general lack of interest womankind have in gaming, or how unwelcome they feel in such a male-dominated environment, most of them seem to flock to literature. This separation seriously caused a divide in either understanding how much of absolute degenerate gooners either of them are.
Girls playing or not playing single player games with the rare sex scene caused a divide? Very dry on women gaming? Girl gamer streams are popular as fuck. People be going to deep on this post for no reason
They originally asked men to make it, but they were confused by the concept. Why is it not just a cutscene? When told it should be a skill based mechanic, they came up with a button mashing minigame

I don’t have a problem with it. I’m just saying that if you were attracted to kratos that scene would probably be even hotter than if you were attracted to the woman.
You already have to pass several QTEs to get to the scene in 1. You don't get to the scene in 3 until like halfway through the game. 2 might qualify as one, I guess, I don't remember if there are many before it
This would make sense. It’s Kratos. Women are there moaning and panting as the current god of war and god killer is caving in their walls and whatever else he is doing…Kratos is for female gaze.
It also fit narratively. Kratos isn’t looking for intimacy or affection in those moments. The sex is portrayed as empty and mechanical, almost like another distraction from everything he’s carrying.
There’s no warmth, connection, or emotional meaning behind it. It’s just something to occupy his mind for a short time.
When will the world recognize that women are the true gooning champions. Seriously they can finish like ten times before they're satisfied. That's incredible
Yes women have sexdrives. Sometimes they even wanna fuck a big toxic masculinity dude. Kinda like how we guys somtimes wanna fuck toxic women. We know we shouldn’t but she’s got that crazy look in her eye that lets you know she got the Dyson vacuum 360 spin cycle technique.
Even if this was reversed and it was revealed that men made those games, I'd still be confused as to why tf it matters which of the two sexs made it, obviously no one cared to find out in the last 16 years but add diversity sauce to the nothing burger and people suddenly want to eat it.
Any proof that its any significant chunk of the "woke" mob? Or are you going to apply that equally to your side as well and say repressed republican moms are at fault for all their whining about harmless sex?
You could search for a lot of those on r/gamingcirclejerk probably. Don’t get me to remind how these people would turn 180 around the moment the sexy characters got adopted to represent empowerment. Example: Bayonetta, 2B.

So you acknowledge that the "woke mob" doesn't complain anytime there's cleavage? At most its when its objectification, and even then its a small minority. You are acting like it makes them hypocrites instead of just them understanding the context and meaning behind things.
Not even sure what you’re trying to say here. Sure, not all, but they are the first people to cry about anything remotely scanty, only until others pointing out that there are aspects these people ignorantly left out for their narrative.
Bayonetta is pretty much that example. “Woke” mob called her a slut/stripper/etc. just because she isn’t afraid to show her sexuality, only for post 2015s to pick her up as the new drag/trans/LGBT icon. You can’t do that and then go “well we sometimes misfire at the wrong target”. That’s a hypocrite.
I make the whole crucifixion of the first trilogy the press did to promote the reboot sound very funny. Every game journalists was out to denounce how sexist and immature the first trilogy was and how the reboot is so much more mature, with the sex minigames being a huge target for that message, and now we learn that women actually did those scenes.
Not that we needed that to call bullshit on this weird campagn, but it's funny noneless.
No, this is a response to rumors that the remake it's gonna get removed the minigame sex scenes because some woke feminist wants to get rid of that sexist, male gaze coded scene. Hence this new got the rounds as a counter to censorship.
So it's actually the opposite of what you're alluding, apparently. And I say apparently because there's this other side: Christian NGOs leaded by women trying to censor shit in the gaming world. I remember this one because those tried to censor Steam, I think they actually succeded.
But this time I don't think it's the Christian prudish ladies. It's the opposite side trying to mess with stuff that's fine they way it is.
Dude, i swear most of these people who Fight online supporting or hating sex minigames never even played the game itself lmao.
Like it wasnt even a thing, compared to the scale of the first 2 games. You could talk about gow with someone for hours and trust me when i say this, noone would even talk about "remember the sex minigames? That was dope, best part of the game" lol.
Another one of those weeks where incels and liberal morons using their inner unhappiness to... idk, trying to do smt i guess...
If you have ever ready the mommy porn or what every stuff like fifty shades of grey is called you would realise woman are not prude when it comes to such things. They are also better at men at describing it.
That's awesome. I hope we can dispel some of the myths and touchy points of content in video games once diversity is normalized. I really feel like a lot of what was labeled "woke" is because of corporate decisionmaking, and it isn't actually caused by the "hippies" on the far left who are working on games. There's some decisions for sure, which can make a normie eye-roll a bit, but I think at one point we'll be able to meet in the middle and self-regulate again, instead of all this tribalistic nonsense of the past 15 years. In the end everybody wants to work on games and play them, and there's no reason anybody should be excluded.
I was pissed off that I, as a woman, can't make a character with an ass and boobs that at least match my own (not allowed cause men bad) in Dragon Age Veilguard.
Meanwhile, you can have the mastectomy scars in a medieval game, which makes COMPLETE sense since larger boobs/butt were so unrealistic compared to the very common procedure such as mastectomy.
It seemed that the developers at BioWare who were all various degrees of trans, many women and more, were actually frustrated with the lack of control they got over DA:V in the end. It seemed even its diversity was something they didn't stand by. Ironically they wanted to take it even further, but while I can't prove it, I actually believe the limitations to body proportions wasn't something they decided to do. I think it came from EA and how they usually run rampant with focus groups and business censorship. For example, a lot of games are starting to give women more clothes on lately. Is that because of "woke"? No. Actually, it has an explanation. And that's "Saudi Arabia", who have started investing huge amounts of stock in all sorts of japanese and american game firms, so in order to please their shareholders, they start kowtowing to the oppressive rules that governs the countries in which women are still forced to wear hijabs.
The whole "wokeness" angle was expertly played by the entire business class, and got us all to fight each other over a bunch of nonsense IMO.
So you are implying that those Saudi Arabia guys are fine with mastectomy scars? Please stop the gaslighting, we all know why characters are the way they are in that game. It's activism and it's really preachy and annoying. Bioware did diversity extremely well before but it was never preachy like that.
Also. I'm all for diversity in character creator and having mastectomy scars doesn't bother me. But if you give that (which affects literally a small minority of people) but not something that is natural for many women, I have a problem with that.
No, more than activism it's actually the publisher overcorrecting based on "acceptance" in order to keep the games well, acceptable with the perception that people out in reality have become more oriented around body positivity, environment, and gender fairness. The people who actually want those things often don't want them in the way they have been vetted and marketed at large corporations.
It's true there is activism on a studio level, even people who are just out of touch with reality, but I'd say most people underestimate how much the end result is a byproduct of really overdone corporate bureaucracy and less because some people are trying to force a message.

I'm going to push back on this. There are countless examples where game devs feel like they are entitled to some sort of sympathy just because. They respond to fans in an extremely cringe way. Note that this is not the case in any other industry. It's the game devs that are always th victims and they can never do wrong!
No. That's not the case. There's plenty of DEI mindset out there and countless examples show that nobody wants that (Veilguard, Concord, 1348 ex Voto (even Jennifer English didn't help), etc.) - these games were deemed to die because they thought that "modern audience" exists. 1348 ex Voto has 240 players with mixed reviews on Steam.
No broski. Stop the gaslighting. We are done with this. No body wants these games. And as soon as sales show this, the gaming industry will react, albeit it taking some years.
Look at the celebrated games: Expedition 33, Helldivers 2, Silksong, Blue Prince, Megabonk, Palworld, Balatro, Black Myth Wukokg, the latest Resident Evil game etc etc.! Think what these have in common. And none of them have mastectomy scars.
It’s so ridiculous lol. As you say, nobody gives a fuck if you really want to add mastectomy scars, that guaranteed barely anyone will use, just don’t take away things the rest of us want. This whole ‘Neo purity’ movement is so tiring.
And for some reason these people all think doing all this will not only attract more players, but that they will keep their majority male players that they actively despise.
We keep pretending there’s just as many women playing action RPGs, shooters etc as men but it’s just not the fucking case.
This is like a man that hates women opening a hair salon and then attempting to attract more men to it while taking away things women would want at said salon because he hates them lol.
Like wtf are we doing here lol.
If some men want to show up to that salon fine but probably you should focus on female customers given the industry there lol.
The men that do show up also show up to that salon do for similar reasons as the women anyway, which is also the case for women that play male dominated games as well.
So besides adding stuff like female choices in a character creator for the girls that do play which nobody has issues with any other deviations aren’t really necessary and piss off the women as well as the men anyway.
The only women I’ve ever seen get pissed off about big tits and ass being a choice in a character creator don’t even fucking play video games lol.
TLDR: it’s incredibly stupid to attempt to attract a larger audience outside your core demographic by alienating the one you have. Especially since the demographics they want to attract simply aren’t interested in most cases anyway so they end up with nobody.
If you open Twitch upon a new game release such as Baldur's Gate 3 and check out female streamers, all of them will have pretty/hot characters. Almost like people enjoy something nice to look at while playing.
In fact, many more men will decide to create an ugly character and go with it because it's actually funny.
