Sexualization, objectification, etc.

I presume those who argue like that are also for the destruction of any and all “sexualsied artwork and sculptures“ of the past millenia under the same guise of morality.
Possibly, but I guess, we don't hear much about that, as most ancient sculptures are male figures.

There are plenty nude greek and roman sculptures standing around though.
Especially the ancient greek were fond of the naked female body.

Actually ancient Greek considered male body (!!!) to be the pinnacle. :)

It is also notable that most of those sculptures are standing in countries like Italy, where the grip of the certain sex-negative folks is rather limited.

Possible, i tend to focus on the many shapely female statues though ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Edit:
The french also had good taste

Capcom are hardly first time offenders..

My problem with oversexualization is that it is so so so so so so derivative. And it's so cynical lol "men gonna love legs and jugs and 14 year olds who look ready to have kids let's put them in".. some people on this forum get offended by ugly women in games, that's retarded -- i get offended by developers thinking that can play me like a fiddle by dangling ersatz babes in front of me. Laaame.

I don't think Yennefer is derivative crap. I think the entire female cast of certain games looking like subtly different but unanimously fun bed buddies is crap.

Disclaimer: I'm not like permanently offended by the stuff, i don't wheel this complaint out whenever taking to gamer friends.. but it is annoying. And i live in Japan so it's really ubiquitous, perhaps a bigger thing here.
