Where’s my male gooner characters

[late haven]

don’t make it one sided

[woven bridge]

I maintain that in terms of actual appeal (not attempts at generalized hotness), there is one character who is absolutely the obvious answer

Now, does that mean gooner? who knows

[exotic island]

I say just level the playing field with more unique female Hunters instead of pulling the “they’re equal, we made some male Hunters who are objectified too!” card.

[unique mortar]

Just give all the guys giant bulges already smh

[late haven]

Tbh I’m just curious how tc would make a guy that’s very obvious fan service generalized hotness it’d be more than just shirtless right

😭

[late haven]

They refused to give us summer skins so L

we lost the war

[exotic island]

Honestly, I would say so.

I remember somebody brought up Gill from Street Fighter when I mentioned it was an issue with fighting games too.

The only problem with that is Gill doesn’t have animations that objectifies him, especially compared to a character like Mai Shiranui.

Or Cammy, if we’re going by Street Fighter characters only.

[late haven]

Oh it’s just a guy wearing a speedo 😭

[exotic island]

And he still manages to be less objectified than a lot of female fighting game characters.

I wonder why that’s the case.

[late haven]

Where’s that one anime fighting game that understood the assignment on male gooner design

Granblue I think?

[unique mortar]

Guy with muscles in speedo is about as daring as any male design I've seen in any game, without that male character being femininely sexualized further in any manner

[late haven]

This is crazy 😭😭😭

oh it’s a skin

W granblue versus

[wintry drum]

granblue def knows how to make gooner male chars, ive seen the men from that game thirsted over more than the women

[bold nest]

Idk what y’all taking bout but wukong is hot af

[supple wharf]

Gimme van darkholme

Goon equality

[warm falcon]

Guys have we heard of love and deepspace

I heard girls love love and deepspace

It’s a gacha game for women

[trim sapphire]

This is hudson's job >:(

But fr I feel like brall would be the "male gooner character".

[woven bridge]

Jin, brall, and ghost all have clear elements of having something like conventional appeal in the male cast. It's not as universal nor as extensive as their counterparts, but they're all geared to be "hot" in different ways

[trim sapphire]

Brall has more "sex appeal" than every other character other than maybe eva if we're being honest.

[woven bridge]

that kinda misunderstands sex appeal.

[trim sapphire]

Not really. "This character has b00bs, lots of sex appeal" is basically a lot of this discord rn. It's kind of bs if I'm being honest.

[woven bridge]

more that it's not a one to one that more skin equal more clearly designed for sex appeal.

[glossy imp]

I've seen this man posted around the internet for like a decade now and I'm only JUST finding out his stage name holy shit lmao

[supple wharf]

HAHAHAHAHAHA

happy to be of service

Deep. Dark. Fantasies.

[glossy imp]

I think Johnny Bravo is as close to a concept like this that I've ever seen, I legitimately don't know how you'd even pull this off outside of just making them a straight up male stripper, and it's exactly why it needs to be done

[supple wharf]

Nah but like a guy in leather straps with a mask covering his face speaking in pained muffled grunts would be so fucking funny as a hunter

[glossy imp]

Flagellant from Darkest Dungeon is in the ballpark, just nowhere near as suggestive

[supple wharf]

Idk what the kit or weapon could be

But this is a goldmine idea I swear

[tranquil wave]

You wouldn't need much tbh. Have the character either be a buff bara daddy char or just handsome anime male and throw in an "attractive voice" along with like a low effort skin of the char being shirtless and your printing money

[glossy imp]

If this is "objectifying" than the concept's already been done by virtually every gacha game in existence. We need to go even further beyond, we need to break new ground, our research into such a topic would surely secure us a lofty position within the ivory tower of the international intelligentsia, and our potential success would be recorded within the hallowed tomes of every feminist bookstore in North America.

[tranquil wave]

Then have simps/whales not be so low effort when it comes to male gooning 😂

[supple wharf]

I'm telling you dude, leather straps.

[glossy imp]

What I'm proposing would revolutionize the act of gooning to men, the landscape would never be the same, splitting the yaoi atom, one might say

[glossy imp]

It's a start, but what does it mean to be objectified, and how can we implement this into a design, is it even possible to objectify a man on a level greater than personally? Unironically might have to consult a feminist bookstore here

[versed plover]

the game is mainly played by men and men usually love female

we already have brall, jin and saros too

[woven bridge]

So you're saying we've already tapped male player base, and to expand to female gamers we should go for power fantasy rather than desire fantasy characters for women, and desire fantasy rather than power fantasy characters for men. Broaden our market.

[supple wharf]

My gf just had a fantastic addition to this conversation:

"I want underballs. Peaking out from the loincloth. Underballs"

[supple wharf]

More gf: "#releasetheunderballcut"

[trim sapphire]

Nah not females, just the gays.

I apologize for this joke 😃

[atomic gulch]

Is the loincloth short or are the balls long

[tame wind]

HAHAHAHA

Don't worry miles you can test how that one looks for her

have fun

[supple wharf]

It's really warm out

[merry abyss]

ASS WE CAN

@west snow

[serene fox]

thats how it would literally be if the gender roles were swapped

[west snow]

Give ass us white leather stripper cowboy Brall

Whatever ill just post it to encorage ♂️ cute gay boys ♂️
https://youtu.be/U5uFOlkVBrY

[west snow]

Release some macho-man in full body spandex costume, and he must be filthy rich. Maximum objectivisation.

So it should be Batman

Or at least Sportacus

[supple wharf]

Make him look like human shrek

[west snow]

Like Chad Squidward

And his ult must be something like Jimmy Raynor ult or Kunka from Dota 2

Where he fucking caresly crushes planetary shipment on enemy

Or sending barge forward for rocket valley

It must gameplay-wise say how he is filthy rich

Because if we gonna do maximum objectivisation of mens, it must be both sexuality and resousefulness

[west snow]

How about

And as animations he should do fashion magazine poses or poses from JoJo or from ancient greek sculptures

[warm falcon]

Chat

I think we need aphelios

Think about it

Tons of eboys play aphelios

Tons of egirls fan over aphelios

Especially in his heart steel skin

I’m calling for a Jin rework to turn him into aphelios

[teal ruin]

saros?

[warm falcon]

Saros has one gun

Jin has three weapons

He’s closer to aphelios already

[west snow]

Fufelious viable for supervive only as moon rabbit

We already have enough sweet boys and girls in damage dealers stock

[late haven]

Where’s my non-armor saros skin

bro is jacked let us enjoy the eye candy he can provide

(but also new characters is good too)

[late haven]

alright next hunter is another female

i'll see you lads in 4 weeks hoping we get a guy

[woven bridge]

blood knight?

[supple wharf]

Hard to tell but looks kinda built from this angle

[woven bridge]

like, obviously death themed, but also looks like a vamp helm

[supple wharf]

Where is hudson gaming when we need him?

[serene fox]

I wonder what she looks like

[late haven]

demon mommy hopefully

[serene fox]

Eva 2???

[late haven]

yes

what is that on her arm

plot twist its a hot demon guy and the scythe is whats doing the talking

[rare echo]

we need this

[late haven]

im saying

[supple wharf]

It's red kayn

Hehe

[late haven]

unironically really hoping its something like that

except its female demon spirit looming over the hunter

[supple wharf]

https://tenor.com/view/stands-joseph-joestar-hmm-gif-14148347

[woven bridge]

female red kayn

[west snow]

Sejuani

[west snow]

Its or Sejuani if female from Lol
Or Undying if male from Dota2

[nova latch]

For real

[foggy sun]

Haha

(I agree)

[foggy sun]

Give them a good shape and it's done I'd say

[west valley]

It's a female hunter

[junior acorn]

jin is right there bro

and brall

[supple wharf]

Idk if he's still got it but Brall had two different coloured nipples bc of the loading screen lighting in ob

[late haven]

The more the merrier

🙂

[junior acorn]

touche

[warm falcon]

in my opinion

he's wielding a flaming greatsword

made of magma

so he should be like

completely naked

the heat would definitely burn off his clothes

and they could cover it with like flames or somehting

[nova latch]

Where’s my Nasus or Warwick clones at????

[west snow]

Say it to actual melting facilities workers. Their wear ranges from almost winter to foiled scafanders

[warm falcon]

Ok but brall is just wearing cargo pants

[west snow]

He isnt negr he actually having 4-degree burns on skin

[warm falcon]

oh wait volcanic brall exists

[woven bridge]

uhhhhh wtf

translation error?

[obsidian ember]

though since its on a body of water I think thats actually a boat of some sort rather than a scythe

also just read what gym wrote oh???????? 💀

[late haven]

um?

[west snow]

I could say what i mean but on english public terms this word hits harder than Boeing 767

[woven bridge]

Man, that list of options is not good

[west snow]

Feel better??!

[woven bridge]

I'm not offended. I just am reminded how non English catch alls equate out to be a little messed up. See the Spanish word Chino for all Asian people.

[obsidian ember]

I'd say the thor and loki summer skins in rivals are good examples
