the sanitisation of the internet to make shit (no one wants) marketable because media giants urged on by puritan lobbying dont want to acknowledge that we are naked apes who have created based around sexual experience for thousands of years is so flawed
sure theres heinous content on the internet but thats just true of everywhere - in a GIANT library youll just find more because theres more STUFF
its got NOTHING to do with keeping kids safe or the allegedly child-approved internet wouldnt be a hellscape
#enshittification is one hell of a drug#hell i might not have stopped drawing and burned that upkeep and learning time for FIVE YEARS if not for this shit#we the people out here arent allowed to do sexy stuff unless its made by the vultures for us#and we must be content with whatever beige content we are served even when its gruel and it tastes a bit off#god americanised western society is a poison#also yes im one of those people who thinks 90s-00s internet safety should come back#the kid safe TM internet is a corporate hellscape with no soul#rory's ramblings

Also it still makes me Super Sad to know they were at one point considering giving Viera a similar remake to the Mithra and having them be a both genders race with like.. actual normal people and it being the playerās choice if you wanted to wear sexy armour or not. Seriously i hate āthey are sexy raceā as a concept for a ācultureā, itās like finding the planet of everyone has the same job in some star wars thing, except the creepy version...
Tho also these more āsexy raceā designs for them still work MILES better than FF12 when they have sexualized dudes too! Apparantly this concept evolved into (ugh) the AuāRa, so you can kinda see here how they decided to go ānah, extra buff power fantasy dudes and even more over the top fanservice women that also look 12ā² instead of like.. fanservice kind of muscly man, at least... :( srsly he looks like that sexy armour guy they censored in that spinoff game or that sexy armour they censored for Ringabel yet nobody seemed to care and instead whined about 1 singular additional belt being added on the sexy costume for girls T_T why do the worst of the worst internet douchebros always throw a fit at the slightest bit of equal ass for all??
wow this ended up going into a big ol lol image heavy post so lets have a cut!
also this sexualized lady armour at least has a different and visually interesting design, and they were thinking of more hairstyles too! like the FF12 viera were even more bad for how they all looked like the same person in 1-3 minor variants of the same xenomorph lookin metal thong atrocity. (and like.. one robe model for npcs that somehow managed to still sexualize a robe?? wtf?? leav whit mag alon)
Another beta viera design that just appeals to me a lot, somehow! I think its the interesting idea of having a fully furred head and then just a quiff of human hair on the top, it feels more like an actual animal man instead of a human in cosplay. Same for the idea of them having big black cute button eyes!
Also look at these other really cool designs for different beast races, even stuff thats not based on anything weāve ever seen before Itās hard to believe that the Auāra were even conceived as a ābeast raceā concept, like holy fuck it should be illegal to throw out 47 Actual Designs and just go with Human Again But More Fanservice...
also they made this april fools thing as a fake AuāRa reveal and like... it doesnt say much good about your designers when this could legit pass as real like the joke here is apaprantly just that Sexy Bangaa looks ugly, not that having a race with a monsterish man and a sexy lady is a dumb idea, cos they just went ahead and did it anyway...
the auāra concept art shows pretty much EXACTLY the same āsexy bangaaā principle and Iām glad they at least fuckin toned it down to the man having AN ACTUAL HUMAN FACE, even if its also a lazy fuckin design change. iād be so fuckin mad if we got a legit cool only-nonhumanoid-race-in-the-game and it was men only!
also like Wow, I am actually getting excited about just the same super tiny demure unfitting lady to a massive man except Less Sexualized And More Magical/Ethereal ...unless that isnt meant to be a dragon familiar but actually another design for the men or something, thatād be going WAY too far! XD
Hello Welcome To Bottom Of The Barrel With Bunni, wouldnt it have been nice if the weird succubus-y ladies like.. looked in their 20s or something i am actually advocating for big fanservice titties cos it would be 99% less disturbing than the same damn camera angles on a āchildishā design... also seriously 99% normal fanservice lady with bigass actual monster horns on top would be better than same thing sans the horns
oh sorry they do have āhornsā but they look like fuckin this
and i fuckin canāt even.. i jsut fuckin... they donāt even let us have THE MOST BASIC TINY BEASTIE THINGS! why does it bug me so much that male au ra get to have black schelera along with the black horns like even this super minimal actual dragon trait isnāt allowed?? even when removing it makes no sense?? even when its supposed to be a nationality indicator in-universe cos you put a really nice amount of worldbuilding into each āraceā having actually two races of sun and moon based designs. which are EXACTLY THE FUCKIN SAME FOR FEMALE AUāRA, seriously why not just make horn colour an option in the editor then... actually is this a thing that has ever existed in any real world country, is there a place where men have [visual trait] and women donāt? I mean aside from like.. cultural or religious outfits, where only one genderās is different to the west but its not like the west is default anyway lol. But seriously imagine EYE COLOUR! Imagine if blue eyes only happened to american men and like.. american women couldnāt have blonde hair and all looked identical to.. I dunno.. west indian women. Just a whole country where dudes have all the abstract concept of āraceā and the women donāt. Thatās how nonsense it seems when you make a fantasy species where only the women look human!
tho also iām still pissed off too that the human nationality thing actually comes with a different body build (FOR DUDES AT LEAST) and different hairstyles and starting outfit, instead of only a colour change. it stands out a lot that they only did this for their first attempt at the concept. also it makes male au-ra make even less sense cos you can already have a muscle human and an even more muscle human who has a dumb ogre face and also elf men are muscular somehow and you kinda only have miquote if you wanna be a skinny dude.. or even just an average dude...
also it kinda sucks that you canāt turn off or choose anything about the weirdly complicated scale patterns on their neck and upper arms only. like why is that even there except to be like āhey we did the bare minimum to be considered a dragonā...
ALSO LIKE EVEN MORE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL I would have STILL been happier if we got this fuckin terrible fanservice lady design but she at least had ears and claws as well as we-say-its-horns-but-it-looks-like-cute-hair-decs. like seriously throw me a fuckin bone here, give them SOMETHING to justify the ābeast raceā category... also did i mention that its really fuckin stupid how they did the worldbuilding too? these guys are meant to be nomads and warriors yet the women look like this. its just.. never explained. its just that all the Lore applies to the dudes and the women are just for ~cyooooot anime girl who does the stubborn kiddy pose with her tits hanging out~ (SERIOUSLY THEIR ANIMATION SET IS REALLY CHILDLIKE AND ITS SO CREEPY! theyre like the sex appeal of miquote with the lalafell animations...)
seriously holy shit looking at this pic makes them it look like dads taking their daughters to soccer practise like seriously fuckin christ
and ALSO on top of fuckin everything else we get to see they even had designs for the same creepy loli fanservice ladies but if they had Some Sort Of Actual Unique Features and Cool Aesthetic Choice like wtf you even abanded like 40 cool horn designs and just gave them plain gross triangles in only one of two colour choices... T_T also like.. that loli lady at least gets to wear an actual gothic lolita fashion style, and i love the aesthetic of armor plates hanging as accessories on a non armour outfit. Do they jingle like windchimes? or does this mean Auāra were meant to be fully scaled below the neck, so this kinda IS a skimpy outfit but you cant tell? XD
Also l kinda like this aesthetic of this other equally lame and super humanoid design with overly sexualized females. Like i dunno if this is just shading but if they actually had this colourscheme it would be super distinctive! And it reminds me of amarantās trance form, The Amazing Battle Banana Hammock. Even if it also suffers from the same problem of technically showing a man in a skimpy costume but like his design is supposed to be monsterous and badass instead so it still doesnt deliver the same as the female equivelant. The top left version could kinda be a fanservice guy but like.. only if he was naked like that? like drawing someone in a style thatās supermodel body shape and has giant boob outlines and super sexualized poses and doesnāt look monsterous despite being a monster and ET CETERA, thatās what we mean about a character design being sexualized rather than just sexy. If you put some pants to cover this guyās impressive bulge then heād just be another scary boss guy. I mean Ifrit is a nearly naked guy with horns in every damn game but heās very VERY rarely sexualized! The FFXV version is like the first damn time, except when we had a female version of him. It sucks cos ifreeta has a pretty damn cool design but still its really weird how sheās so much more humanoid and has attention drawn to her having boobs in a way they never did with ifritās constantly-on-display pecs and loincloth... Man why is it so hard to explain these weird nuances of how people draw ātopless monsterā characters like this? its like they go out of their way to try and backpedal on the fact they made a topless guy. he can show more skin but its supposed to be less appealing by the artist, thus its less offensive cos it isnt boxing a character into this one sexualized role while the plot says āno, theyāre a monster, honest!ā YKNOW?? god am i making ANY sense here? XD
nakey man, not meant to be arousing to audience
nakey lady, suddenly just because sheās āthe lady versionā she looks like this
the same nakey man, redesigned, this time indeed meant to be just as sexy
and like it sucks that there arenāt many good examples of nakey ladies who ARENT meant to be arousing in this series cos I mean that lady ifrit design is so much more sexualized despite being in a chibi art style game for kids?? this was really not the right time or place!
Also it sucks that āis nakeyā is a common trait of monster man characters, because well thereās been an established history of dudes being topless and youāre not meant to be aroused. So then whenever they try and make āmonster man raceā they go for a topless dude and are like āthen the woman needs to be topless too!ā except the only way they can draw them is sexy??? except its like a false premise to begin with, you can totally make a beast race that isnāt topless, you guys! or even a beast race that isnāt buff, so you donāt need to be all āwhatās the female equivelant of buff? oh yeah, sexy!ā. or, yknow, just draw a buff woman. it could work... or like just have neither and make a beast creature thatās supposed to be cute or mysterious or comical or whatever.
completely random moment of interjection to say that nu mou are pretty neat
Actually, FFTAās version of the ivalice races was pretty good about this, aside from the dumb thing of ātheyre all male except viera, and just coincidentally viera are the only humanoid and sexualized raceā. (Tho it was funny that somehow they accidentally made all humans male only too??)
Also another reason the Auāraās version of fanservice bothers me more than the simple option to wear a bikini as both genders for every other race: like none of them are DESIGNED FROM THE GROUND UP to be āthey are all biologically born in an idealized supermodel shape and also look twenty years younger than they really are and also all culturally do j-pop poses for fuckin everythingā. Even if you picked the sexy catgirls and catboys race you can choose to play a perfectly covered up version of either. And none of their animation sets or voice lines were inherantly fanservicey. Thats kinda what bugs me more than the Auāraās designs, its that theyāre all ~uguuu senpai~ anime fanservice lady poses and squeaky voices even if you make their design not sexualized in the customizer. Even tho like.. at least a character in full armour doing j-pop poses is kinda funny/cute, so thatās one consolation. But couldnt you have just made them simple emotes for all the characters instead? I WANNA SEE IDOL ROEGADYN OMG :D
ANYWAY UHH BACK ON TOPIC
