    People forget that "sexualized" female charaters are popular with women who are into cosplay.

    He's not wrong. All humans have the innate attraction to things that are " hot"- it's part of our genetic coding ever since the dinosaurs became extinct and man became the next dominant intellgent species. I mean what drives our desire to procreate? Attraction. Mother Nature intended this in her design

    I feel like it's really important to say to the people who haven't really watched the video that the guy isn't condemning all the women (and men) who find Leon hot as hell. This is about the gaming articles and Twitter people who don't hold those women to the same standards as they would if a guy was thirsty for a hot woman. I've heard zero articles talking about "female gaze" and that's the hypocrisy that the video is covering.

    • @anthonym840
      @anthonym840 22 days ago

      Exactly. U should see the Karen he pinned in the comment session. She litterwlly proved his entire point.

    • @blubirdhill2608
      @blubirdhill2608 22 days ago

      EXACTLY. Like, I'm more than happy for women to be as thirsty as they would like about Leon. He's objectively a peak male specimen, with the morals and honor to match. My beef is that, to a number of them, it's only okay when THEY do it. And men doing the same, or even less, is "objectification", and "the toxic male gaze", yadda yadda. I just want it to be okay for both. No hypocrisy.

      @J4zzhandss 21 day ago +55

      Exactly, it’s not shaming women for thirsting over Leon it’s pointing out the double standard

    • @sarafontanini7051
      @sarafontanini7051 21 day ago

      I dunno, the "get some guys in the dev team to make grace hotter" comment does kinda seem like a red flag to me

    • @ZenTHedgie
      @ZenTHedgie 21 day ago +8

      As long as the fictional characters being found attractive aren’t children or resemble children, I say let people thirst over whoever they want. The double standard exists and it really shouldn’t.
      The only thing that irks me when this is brought up is when people get up in their feelings about the attractiveness of characters and accuse developers of filling games with “wokeness” and “feminism/misandry” (they’re two different things, but they don’t care) just because not all the characters are insanely attractive. Sometimes a game is just a game and it’s not that deep.

  • @carljohan9265
    @carljohan9265 22 days ago +59

    I loved both Leon and Grace in this game.
    I especially loved how they are allowed to be strongly masculine and feminine respectively and how both of those things are depicted as GOOD. Because they are.
    I also like how the smart way to play as Grace is to avoid direct confrontation when possible and be smart, use stealth and clever tactics, and conduct chemical warfare. It gives her gameplay a distinctly different vibe to Leon's and is also realistic for her as a character (significantly weaker than Leon and no 3 decades of combat experience).
    This also makes her impressive as a person because she is shit-scared and not ready for the BS she's been dropped into, but she pushes through it and gets shit done.

    I agree with what he said. It's a genuinely good video. I'd rather read an article with people who actually form an opinion that doesn't attack anyone for just wanting a pretty woman character to look at.
    It's that simple.

    • @SifAbyssWalker
      @SifAbyssWalker 19 days ago

      @Matthew_Y It's more that modding in general is seen as wrong in JP corpo culture so they have to make a statement in rehection, in truth, they don't care. Juts look at MH, online and modded, but they only ban you if you get items before they're released in game or if you mod DLC only things that you haven't purchased

  • @genogamma13
    @genogamma13 21 day ago +1

    I feel like 70-80% or those articles are post-Ghostbusters 2016-inspired ragebait:
    As the meme goes "We paid a freelancer to say that something you love is dogshit because the Google/Facebook duopoly ate the whole digital ad market and now harvesting hate clicks is the only viable business model for online media"

    • @tonybippitykaye
      @tonybippitykaye 20 days ago +2

      ​@sarafontanini7051 well yeah, because there has been an obvious effort the past decade to make or change characters to suit the sensibilities of activists rather than customers.
      Of course customers are going to complain when products aimed at them are being made specifically to subvert their preferences.
      Also, your comment has no relevance to what op is talking about.
      He/she's talking about the effects of consuming fictional content affecting people's interactions irl and the obvious invalidity of that narrative being pushed by activists.
