    Is he also calling all the men (main characters) sexy in videogames?

    I saw a very insightful video about this topic.

    Women apparently do not find these game characters sexy (nor gay men apparently) and then the straight men who think they are and strive to look that way will say that the women are laying.

    That made me wonder who they want to impress, other men? Themselves? Or they are just in disbelief that they put so much work into something that only attracts other straight men?

    I shouldn’t take this serious but it is funnier that way haha

      Yes.

      Fucking people and looking like you fuck people are two different categories, and frankly, women being allowed to choose the winners here has always been very frustrating for them.

      Honestly, that is just overcomplicating something very basic for the sake of polarization, views and manufactured rage. People want esthetically pleasing things, and that doesn’t need to mean sexy.

      Do I find some male videogame characters sexy? Yes, very. But most importantly, we just want our ape brains to go “Engagement and dopamine, yay”.

      Do men need to devote days to unlock mirror mode in the latest Mario Kart? Nope, but in a world this depressive and bleak it is an achievement, and sexy doesn’t even factor there.
