Makes me frustrated and hopeless, Its quite clear that they do this for the male gaze and whatever its called, but that doesnt justify it and makes me very sick.

Not saying that beautiful characters are bad, but semi naked characters with unrealistic beauty which both have nothing to do with the game at all is terrible, very terriole.
Why ruin a good game for the so called" male gaze" or “sex sells” thing? why?

I feel like a hypocrite and a loser.

Not sure if indie games are any better, itch io is very good, it has great (hidden) gems.

But its also filled with dating games and whatnot, I didnt check the nsfw games, but I wouldnt be surprised if they filled the entire front page.

Anyway, Its a deep issue for me, wanted to vent, thanks for reading.

    Have you seen the incels? They have nervous breakdowns over peach fuzz.

      What is peach fuzz, and there is an incel community in the fediverse out of all places?

      How come I didnt hear about any of this, I have been using piefed for 2 whole years (including lurking without an account)

        Peach fuzz is what the short almost invisible hair on skin is called. Like the short hairs on peaches.

        A few years ago when the first images for Horizon: Forbidden West were released they were supposed to demonstrate the superior graphical fidelity by showing (amongst other things) the peach fuzz in the face of the female lead.

        Idiots thought it was a beard as if they had never been close enough to a woman to see them.
