Except this is also wrong. There are plenty of developers out there that these types do not like listening to at all that will tell you that the push for designs that are sterilized come from the men in the office. There are plenty of women in the space that do character design that are actually loud about how you can make a sexy character without having to fully cater to braindead gooners that believe "sexy is when boob out", but they are told "No" by the men heading the projects when they start to pull that V line closer to the start of some cleavage.
Does not help that the conversation is being dominated by people who can't rub two braincells together and not speak entirely in buzzwords either. "DEI" this. "Corporate conspiracy" that, "WoKE MiNd ViRuS", "The evil womenz in video gamez wanna take muh titties away". They continue to "get away with" taking the safest route possible because they don't want to get crucified by complete dorks in a scholarly crisis on the internet.
We're having this conversation in a thread about Alanah Pearce. A woman in game dev that is sexy, knows that she is, and actually likes when video game characters are hot as fuck and will point it out. She's spent the past year talking nonstop about how hot Malevola is, how much it does not bother her that people are slutting Malevola out in fanart, and how fun she thinks it'd be to voice a sex scene or play up sexy. Well known autist and game dev Alanah that actively tries NOT to be sexy on the internet anymore because of these kinds of dipshits.
