    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.
