mature modern games are unapologetic and give you a genital selection too

the question is, are you a penis a or penis b type???

    tbh baldurs gate and cyberpunk really lacked a proper donger slider

    would even be lore accurate with cybernetic dick enhancements in cyberpunk and magic in dnd

    And despite all of that maturity, they still do male-gaze, heteronormative centric design.

    In BG3, Type A halflings (male presenting) are all dumpy and kinda goofy-looking. Type B halflings are all banging smokeshows. Give me the dumpy looking halflings, man.

    In Cyberpunk, the camera lingers on nude women, but hides or ignores male nudity, even if the player character is fem presenting and chooses a male partner.

    There's a YouTube video about this, but I can't find it. I'll update later if I do (and remember)

    Of course, they do the male gaze. The majority of the male audience loves it and the majority of the female audience doesn't care enough to prevent a sale.
    It's a no-brainer to implement male gaze if your target audience includes males. It's easy to do and yields a lot of goodwill from that part of the audience. Some gacha games make tons of money just doing the male gaze and literally slopping everything else. It's absurd how well sex sells.

    no character creator has yet to top saints row 2. they just have a "body" slider on top of all the normal "slim/fat", "short/tall", "lanky/muscular" stuff that morphs where the body fat goes. if the booblies get too big your character gets a bra.

    Man, I'd PAY for a modern remake of SR2 that kept it basically as is but added better gfx/QoL stuff. That game was the peak of the series imo

    Give the Type-A a chest binder. Now everyone is covered.

    I feellike I've seen this in some game. Not a binder, but that both types have covered tops and bottoms.

    If femality is stored in the nipples, where are the nipples stored. Maybe the balls I hypothesize.

    Reminds me of the trans woman that took her top off at the White House under Biden and MAGA lost their minds.

    They don't recognize her gender as a woman so those should just be man boobs and not a big deal, but they lost their fucking shit.

    I honestly don't understand why they don't just label them "masculine" or "feminine", and they can just add "androgynous" if they want a non-binary option. Is there an element of this that is offensive that I'm missing?

    People who are never not upset are upset when designers don't title body types as masculine or feminine and instead use a single character like "A" or "B".

    Like from a design standpoint if you have plans to introduce more body types then lettering them makes a lot of sense but I imagine that's also one of the first things to get cut from a budget because it multiplies the amount of QA that's going to happen.

    Feel like I'd also have a problem if I tried to go in public without a top due to having boobs (HRT <3) and I think most people would agree I'm not female.

    There was a protest in front of the Scottish supreme court when the UK had a ruling that declared trans women were men because of their "biological sex". So a bunch of trans women stood with their tits out and arms painted red since apparently they're men and that's OK

    Ironically almost all media coverage of the event censored their breasts

    Reminds me of the creator of the show Hannibal talking about American censorship. He created a gruesome murder scene where the victim is covered in gore and there’s ritualistic shit everywhere. The only complaint, “we can see the dead woman’s nipple!!”

    Death and gore all good, but lord forbid you show a lady nipple.

    I don't get why they aren't just making a single body with tons of sliders for all proportions and some "man" and "woman" presets which are just values for those sliders. If it was just one body, all the clothing and animations would only need to be done for one body instead of two.
    What am I missing?

    Vaguely, because having 2 or 4 models that are static and always look good is actually a lot easier to design and test than a body that can be lots of sizes and shapes. Like, it's more work to make an outfit 4 times than 1 time, but it's also kinda easy work. Whereas making an outfit that can be any size and shape and still looks right and natural and doesn't clip through itself, etc is harder.

    But not impossible, so I agree if your game is going to have sliders anyway, and those sliders are going to allow extreme adjustments and not just "length of torso, circumference of boobs", probably you're going to have to take a lot of that into account anyway.

    Even still, though, having a "bunch" of sliders can sometimes still not be enough to get from one body type to another. Like, the fact that you can't start with the male body in most of these games and adjust your way to the female one, or vice versa, means there are properties that would need to be made adjustable that currently aren't, in order to actually get you smoothly from one to the other.

    I propose this situation be remedied by 'free the nipple' protests involving both man boobs and woman boobs.

    I want Type B, but with male nipples.

    We maybe also should have body type C, D, E, F, G, H, etc.

    My character in Cyberpunk 2077 has medium boobs and a massive dong. Haven't seen that thing much since the character creation step but I appreciate the freedom. My character also may have only worn a fairly slim kevlar vest at one point.

    People who get vexed over gender in character creation are the same people bound to get really upset when watching a movie trailer.
