How would you suggest this game sexualizes its men then?
MK11 Shao has a leather titty harness; that shits pretty hot. Complements his armor skirt-no-pants also.
Stuff like that. The clothing makes the sexualization, not the lack of clothing.
I mean I get what you're saying but I feel like a lot of that comes down the aesthetic of mk. The best example of male sexualization I can think of is magic mike, but things like an unbuttoned shirt with a tie don't fit in the same way (although I would kill for a Johnny magic mike skin)-

And then this r-slur above proceeds to drop a WORDSNUKE with excuses about why sexualizing male characters is heckin valid and empowering but doing the same for foids is now heckin problematic incel gooner chud behavior, just be honest reddit - the male gaze is bad so sexualizing female characters is problematic, but not with male characters, no need to write paragraphs upon paragraphs of r-slurred bullshit, this shit has been happening for over a decade and even normies are nooticing it

Safe Horny is absolutely real and i'm tired of pretending it's not.
When you have to walk on eggshells when talking about hot chicks in your game/tits/butt but then full blown gay hornypost about your gay bara bear character, something went wrong.
CRAPCOM and SF is the peak example of that. R.Mika's butt slap had to be censored, they changed some of the text for Mai promos that were too obviously talking about her milkers, but then openly gaypost about Zangief or have Juri wave her stinky, wrinkly foot all over the fricking screen.
If you DARE to say you like hot chicks or bigger tits or something in your game, you are a called a porn addict by people who will then jizz over Astarion from BG3 or bear s*x scenes and peepee size in character creators or talk about muscle mommies pegging them and crushing them with their thighs (peak example is Super Best Friends and especially Pat who once had a rant on stream about chat complaining about "cleavage censorship" and then went into muh muscle mommy horny talk when he encountered one in game).
This is obviously all projecting from sissy goon edit porn brainrotten
s who literally need things to be completely disgusting like Druckmann's games or they will need to goon to it immediately and cannot tell the difference between appealing/slight fanservice design and full blown porn they watch.

Capcops censored R.Mika's butt slap because the specific tourney being played was being broadcast on ESPN and the network complained, so can't really blame capcops for that. Not sure what you're talking about with the Mai promo texts, but either way literally every text/description across twitter, youtube, etc. has been insanely sexually suggestive, so that seems like a reach (especially considering that, you know, Mai Shiranui in SF6 is possibly the hottest she has ever been, which is saying a lot)
I do agree with your general sentiment though, and I do believe that a course correction is imminent after seeing the absurd failures of appealing to a demographic that apparently does not buy games/is simply too small and alienates the people that do buy games. Modern games just take forever to develop, so outside of small walkbacks that are easy to fix, we probably won't see a true return to s*x appeal until like 3-5 years from now

It's really funny how bad of a relationship Zoomers and Browns have with porn. The entire concept of erotica or ecchi is on the back foot purely because Zoomers and Browns cannot understand sexual content they aren't supposed to crank it to, and are so conditioned to crank it to anything sexual they see that they revile any kind of media that has nudity or sexual content at all.
You'll see mfs on TikTok with accounts purely reposting skibidi memes and brainrot bitching about shit like Fire Force for having mild fan service, because they "just can't watch something that's so triggering."

The combination of Dial-A-Combo plus the Uncanny Valley 3D style just leads to incredibly awkward animations that don't flow well.
The one silver lining is that the jank animations of the latest MK releases are very true to the spirit of the original games.

This argument was destroyed 10 years ago, there are shirtless dudes on female goon books. They are obviously being sexualised.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
It's a dumb argument because part of the male power fantasy is being attractive to women.
The feminists who argue this stuff genuinely believe you can't sexualize men because men (at least used to) be in charge of game development. Even when they're undeniably sexualized like Shao Khan's titty armor, they'll say it's for gay men and still doesn't count.
I've seen women argue that the Bieber-esque skinny boys you see in Korean RPGs are standard male power fantasy and not geared towards the female gaze, and that Kevlar-wearing women in CoD games are sexualized because their faces are conventionally attractive.

That being said the interchangeable bikinis in MK9 were just boring and anybody still pining after those designs is 100% a degenerate gigacoomer. MK11's female designs were way cooler, there's a ton of room between making everyone as ugly or bland as possible, and just the bare minimum to avoid nudity.

11 is ugly & bland though.

Yeah I think X was a decent middle ground. I do think 11 had some neat designs like Skarlet but a lot of them do look pretty samey.
9 was just ugly and bland unless you're such a degenerate you can't handle a female character not looking like a really weird porno "actress."

Skarlet was okay yeah. I also liked Jade in 11. But I think they ruined Cassie and Sonya (and I'm not only talking about Rousey)

Nah MK11 Cassie > MKX Cassie easily. MK11 had better faces across the board.

the whole MK drama was r-slurred because the pro-gooners could have easily won if they used the MKX designs instead of 9's to counter the argument that the designs couldn't be both sexy and realistic. but it seemed they all forgot that existed.

Is it a hot take to say that the MK11 character designs were the best? I think they could have been a little more exaggerated but the faces look good.
