    Games that are in the business of selling anime girls end up attracting a certain demographic. And as the developers know who their audience is and double down on catering to that crowd, this kind of behavior becomes increasingly normalized over time.

    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 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.

    Are you surprised that anime fans are sexually attracted to their characters?

    They sometimes do it with clearly underage characters too!

    There are 2 problems here.

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