    The thing these people don't understand is that some of us live with other human beings, and don't want to have to spend the entire gaming session looking over our shoulder in case somebody sees us playing embarrassing teenage wank material. This is literally why I never finished The Witcher 3 lol

      The character design for the female characters is the worst thing in Witcher 3, which is otherwise a fantastic game, and it's so agonizing to me. We were so goddamn close.

        Somehow the game with Keira Metz' fashion choices is still at worst only the second most male-gazey in the franchise.

            I stopped playing the moment that happened. I'm not anti-porn as much as I'm anti "everything must always be panderingly sexed up whenever possible for maximum maturity." When maturity begins and ends with what a horny teenage boy might define as mature, it doesn't really seem that actually mature to me.

              Yes, this. It absolutely drives me nuts. Some of the horniest people I know never cause problems because they know how to turn their horny off.

                I've been accused of being anti-sex or anti-porn before, and that's laughably wrong. I'm just anti "every waking moment of every day must be a rope-tugging moment of perpetual titillation" in advertising, trailers, and entertainment in general. Oversaturating everything with plastic horniness is tedious and even eye-rollingly boring, a failure of creativity and imagination that often lacks actual sensuality anyway.
