4b is niche, antinatalism is niche, a lot of weird ideologies are so niche, you need an internet community to connect with likeminded people. So how is it that my brain collectively decides these people will ruin my life if I put myself out there? It's not like they're gonna ban what I love and enjoy but my brain makes it seem like it's gonna happen any moment now. Anyway, sorry about the lil vent of mine, just getting annoyed that this is why I can't do anything these days.

Ngl, I'm having a moment with all the discourse around gaming and how it's sexualization of women still persist despite the western game industry's attempt to diversify and move away from mindlessly sexual female character designs. But we still have shit like gacha games where all the waifus are designed to be sexy for lonely men or the fact that these games prove these efforts are futile.

Idk, I just feel as though as long as games pander mostly straight cis men with the libido of teenagers, this will continue while the industry does nothing.

If someone never told me some anime girl from some video game was for men, I wouldn't be none the wiser because my brain doesn't seem to care yet I've met women who can tell even if they're not attracted to women themselves. For the record I can notice disproportionately weird body types and questionable clothing choices, but I don't seem to care once it starts becoming more grounded yet stylized.

Even if they're fashionable, stylish, and fit the wider narrative or world if that's a concern for some? I feel like if I ever post a male character who's like this, only gay/bi men would respond to it while straight/bi women would avoid them like the plague or only want overly covered masculine men.
